[Accidental Video]

[Solomon enters the room, his footsteps light as he makes his way over to the network device on the table. All of his attention is on the object in his hands, and his voice is soft, carrying an undertone of amusement in it.]

I suppose... I should 'thank' those hunters that drove her into my life after all... Marishka... do you even know how happy I am that you're living with me right now? What would have become of me otherwise?

[He sits, pulling a sparkling golden pendant up into the air, watching it intently as it spins in front of his eyes for a moment before spotting the little red light that signifies he's being recorded. Sighing, he turns his attention to the voyeuristic crowd.]

... honestly. Can't a man have some privacy in his own home? .........................................

Oh, very well... if you must. Marishka... I have something for you. A gift.

Current Mood: thankful

[Audio]

[The sound of violence filters over the network. A flurry of sharp tearing, breaking noises terminated by a sudden loud thud and soft moan of pain.]

Aahh... oh god....!!! Aah... nnh...

[His breath comes as sharp ragged gasps as he tries to speak.]

I-Is there... a doctor in the... vicinity of the... forest... to the west... ? I'm... injured... I need... help...

[ooc: Solomon's been struck with the 'Average Joe Day' curse while flying and is 100% HUMAN now. XD Imagine being able to feel pain for the first time in around 100 years. Not to mention trying to explain how he got to be so badly injured...]

Current Mood: surprised
Current Location: the Forest to the west of the City

How insidious. I can only assume that was the result of yet another curse. An attempt to tarnish my reputation, or something random, who's to say? It wouldn't be the first time...

I certainly hope that anyone out there would have realized this of my last journal entry. Anyone who knows me well understands that I would never condone murder, let alone violence of any sort. I'm a healer ~~and consummate businessman~~.

I apologize for any distress that my words would have caused to anyone. I cannot even begin to fathom what the deities' purpose for this one was, and it's abhorrent to me that even for one moment I would have thought violence was an acceptable means to an end.

[Video; Action for anyone at his home]

[Solomon frowns, staring at the monitor in disgust at ( an incriminating photograph ).]

I suppose this is someone's idea of a joke. Is that supposed to be me?

[He types a few commands into the keyboard, but the image plastered on the screen and transmitted over the network refuses to be erased.]

Honestly. How dumb do you think people are? This photograph has clearly been doctored to make it look like... well. Preposterous, to think of Hagi and myself being in such a situation.

[Calling over his shoulder, he speaks to someone who is off-screen.]

Hagi... have you seen this? There's a picture of you on the network, although what you were doing (or with whom), I don't even want to conjecture. Do you have anything you want to say about it?

[He sits back, crossing his arms deeply in thought.]

Either someone has it in for one of us (seeking to discredit us or cause us embarrassment), or this is something more wide scale. A curse perhaps. Although I don't see how something physical of this nature could be called a curse rather than some sick fabrication.

[ooc: Solomon once again finds himself the victim of a curse. This time it's 'TABLOID TRASH'. Feel free to show no mercy when it comes to this, as just last week he was suffering a 48 hour curse that could make this photo VERY plausible!]

Current Mood: irritated
Current Location: home

Saya, Hagi, I just had a WONDERFUL idea!

Now hear me out, but I think we should invite Diva to live with us! I know, I know, there've been problems in the past, but Saya, she is your sister. And family is supposed to forgive and forget. To accept and support each other no matter what.

I think it's time you two kissed and made up.

It will be wonderful. Having us all living under one roof. We can have movie nights, and I'll make popcorn. Maybe we can have some friends over for cookouts....

Ah, I suppose I should discuss business though. All ARTEMIS employees, I'd like for you to take the day off with pay. Hm, on second thought... how about we all gather in a nearby park for a company picnic? I'll arrange for kite flying, boat racing, and whatever other activities you think might be fun. Bring your friends and family, any loved ones....

Oh yes, and Jez, I believe you have the keys to the cages where our lab rat is being kept. Wouldn't it be lovely to release it back into the wild? Animals deserve the same rights if not more than humans have. Being caged is just wrong... let's remedy this immediately.

Anyway, PICNIC in the park later, Xanadu, near the cherry tree. I'll have food catered. Please attend and spread the word! The more the merrier!

[ooc: Solomon's been hit with the 'One Goddamn Hippie Commune' curse. Anyone want some hugs?]

Current Mood: cheerful

Can... someone kindly explain to me what's going on? If I didn't know better, I'd think there was a convention in town...

I can only think this is yet another curse, hopefully anyway. With this sudden surge in the populace, I can't imagine where everyone is expected to stay.

What are these deities up to... I wonder...

[ooc: And the 4th wall comes crashing down in the City.]

Current Mood: confused

[Accidental video]

[Solomon kneels on the ground, quickly gathering up an assortment of photographs that lay scattered around him. He doesn't seem very pleased at the unexpected aspect of this particular curse. He mutters under his breath, exasperated.]

Again?! What a...

[He pauses, glancing up to see that the little red light of the camera is on, indicating that he's being recorded.]

VERY funny. But I'd appreciate it if you self-proclaimed 'gods' will kindly stop displaying my past as if it's some sort of variety show.

[As if in answer, another flurry of snapshots rains down from the ceiling, fluttering down like leaves from a tree. A few shots manage to be caught by the camera's lens as they flitter down to the ground.]

[Scowling, Solomon is clearly heard swearing under his breath as he quickly moves to gather up yet another armful of images.]

[OOC: This post is backdated! Stupid work interfering with me having the time needed to organize all this... so, yes. Backdated...*cough*]

Libra September 23 - October 22
Not everyone is as enamored of you, as you believe. But then again, not all statements made in your presence are directed at flaws in your character. You have a tendency to have an almost selfish focus on maintaining your personal harmony. On one hand, it's great, but on the other hand, it creates discomfort when your sense of self is so inflated that you believe the sun revolves around you.
Try: keeping a journal

Dear Journal,

It's really quite tiresome dealing with all the staring, but how can I possibly be less than what I am? (Don't worry Saya, you are the only one that has my heart, despite all the people that attempt to flirt with me every single day.) They are all JUST friends, ones I value highly, but just not in that way...

Perhaps, I should dress in a less stylish way. Or dye my hair into a dull shade of brown... but then, I can't disappoint my dear Saya by looking less handsome.

I really must find a way to let them all down easily though... I'd hate to have to hurt anyone's feelings.

I wish I could just call in sick to work today (to avoid all of the attention) but my doctoring skills are so greatly needed. On the other hand I'm certain that I'll easily be able to solve the problems of these curses. I've been successful in everything else I've put my mind to, and already my plans are coming together perfectly.

On the home front, I think I'll look into trying to buy a mansion, Saya would look so beautiful in that type of environment. I'll have to surprise her with it, perhaps as a wedding gift... June is coming up. She'd look lovely in white... I can't see how she could possibly say anything but yes to me with all I have to offer.

But enough of me for now. I have to get ready to go out and brave all the unwanted attention. Even if it is deserved.

[ooc: Solomon finds himself yet again the victim of another curse, his mind warped by the daily horoscope of the Libra. Talk about being unbalanced... O.o ]

Current Mood: quixotic

[Accidental video]

[Solomon sits close to the monitor, apparent displeasure on his face as he tries to change the settings on the computer. He doesn't appear to be wearing anything on his upper body, the only part of him that is in view. He mutters darkly under his breath.]

Damn this infernal device! It's like it has a mind of it's own!

[He gives up trying to switch it to audio or text only, and resigned to his fate, addresses the camera.]

Miss Sahl... if you are receiving this. (May I simply call you Lilith? I feel that our association at the hospital has passed the point of such formalities.) Ah, anyway... I am needing to take a personal day and will be unable to make it in for my shift today. My apologies for any inconvenience that this will cause, but it would be for the best if I didn't show up under these circumstances.

And to my dear friend Dr. Disraeli, I'm afraid that for the very same reasons, I will be late tonight. Please expect me after midnight...

[ooc: The rather embarrassing Black Bars Prevent Mental Scars curse has taken hold. Cover your eyes! Or stare, he is QUITE lovely to look at...]

Current Mood: embarrassed

Yesterday was...

My apologies to anyone that I might have put out with my erratic behavior, mainly Saya, and to Dr. Disraeli... I was not in control of myself.

These 'curses' are quite powerful it seems. I can't even remember the last time I slept like that... the dreams I had! How can I truly be upset for having been given such an experience once again...

I also had the most wonderful meal... fine wine. Such happiness, it's been so long.

Saya, I hope that you were untouched by the curse. It pains me to think of you, alone, without anyone to watch over you, and having been struck with the malady of a 'curse'. Please let me know if you should need me. I will be by your side within minutes!

I will gladly take your place if it will spare you of any unpleasantness.

Current Mood: nostalgic

[Accidental audio post]

Hello? Hello?

Oh god... what's happening??? Where am I? [His voice is a shaky whisper.]

Oh, I see. Maybe I dreamt I'd gotten away. Am I hallucinating now? But... this seems so real.

This is... this is what it's like. Shell shock. Or... or... maybe it's worse than that.

Am I dead? [His voice breaks into a bitter laugh, strained, tense, panicked.]

Maybe, its a blessing if that's the case...

[ooc: The years that never were. And just what if... the human doctor Solomon never made it to his fated meeting with Diva?]

[OOC additional note: During the time I'd written this, I'd been hearing various rumors of Solomon's past, mainly that the name of Solomon Goldsmith was one that he'd acquired upon leaving his human life behind. This information implied that the name he'd been born with was in fact Laertes, so I went with that... BUT since then, I've gone through the series a numerous times, as well as searched for verification of this, I've come to the conclusion that it's unlikely this is the case.

{Also, I don't believe that he and Amshel are actual brothers, due to the timeline of when Amshel was human, to the point where Solomon was introduced. Perhaps a relative, or adopted into his human family, or else merely just a term adopted after he joined Diva's ranks... it's unknown.}

So! All this being the case... please disregard any inconsistencies in his name. Thanks.]
