[There's a thud and the camera clicks on. Then there's a scream. The scream is agonized sounding, pained and full of loss. Persephone is in the middle of the garden in her room, and the plants around her are brown. As the camera rolls, a seed in her hand starts blooming, but then it cycles through the entire life of the plant in five seconds. Another scream and she looks dejected as she drops the withered plant onto the ground with the rest.

Persephone looks lost and then she sees the camera light on. Her face hardens instantly and she pics it up and addresses it in a furious tone.
]

Levi-Biff you fix this this instant.

[She glares at the camera before she turns it off, forgetting to delete the other part.]

[Persephone doesn't know about the curse because she doesn't care about the network, and she hasn't been out of her room to see anyone with the swirling black clouds over their heads.]

The gentleman is correct. The Barge is currently cursed with misfortune.

Why does no one make her fix this?

She's apparently not in control of herself.

Then why do they not make her figure out a way to make it stop?

Some of us will.

I fully intend to.

Would have already done so, were my talents not falling victim to these events...

Good. I am glad to hear that not everyone is being stupid about this thing.

I don't know. But she's blaming us for it. Even if she claims it's an accident and she can't control it, she says it's because she hates us all.

She says if she dies, the curse will stop.

...Then why do they not kill her? Death is not lasting here. Why do they not simply kill her and then make it stop.

From: [personal profile] truth_is_cold
Why does she not kill herself? I died to protect my universe. And I hated most of the people in it.

Apparently it's become a question of moral character and not practicality.

She is a selfish, spoiled mortal.

She should be demoted.

You watch. It will not happen. They will pet her and spoil her but if it had been one of us then all of the wardens would be arguing for our death.

I am glad I'm not necessarily surprised at being resented with a manufactured smile. It's common practice where I'm from.

...May I see you in person? [He wants to ask you for something. But not over the network.]

I'll be there in a moment.

[And he shows up there shortly. He wants to have a plan, if he needs to. He doesn't particularly hate Sveta, but he's always thought practically. And strangely enough, seeing Braxiatel die did bother him despite every effort that he's made to be detached.]

[Persephone does not look good. It's as if with her magic, a light has gone from her. When she opens her door, she simply steps back and then frowns even harder.]

They should fix this. [Her voice has no preamble.]

If they will not other should, Rhade.

From: [personal profile] truth_is_cold
They should. [He steps inside, noting that she seems... dimmer, somehow.

He waits until the door is closed before continuing.] And if they do not, I'll see that it's tended to. Do you have any rosary peas?

You will not be able to get close enough to poison her. I do not believe you would be able to alone anyway.

All I would have to do is share a cup of tea with her. I'm immune to most poisons.

[Though the truth is at the moment he doesn't care much whether he's immune or not.] She does still need to eat, and I'll have more opportunities than most.

If you don't have them, do you know if the gardens do? Or castor beans, at the very least?

[Persephone frowns, and she watches him for a very long moment, her head inclining.]

If you betrayed me, Rhade, I would be very unhappy with you, you know this, yes?

I'm a practical man. It wouldn't be in my interests to betray you. [He gives her a smile.]

I collected them in the CES. They'll never know otherwise.

[Persephone goes over to one corner of her garden, and she removes some purple flowers. (http://www.frenchgardening.com/p/PPcolch1.jpg) They smell sweet and lovely but are actually meadow saffron.]

These should do the trick.

From: [personal profile] truth_is_cold
[He accepts the flowers, unbuckling his tunic to put them inside the main flap.] I believe I am slightly jealous of her. [Dammit, this curse won't let him put his top clasp back together.]
