Let's get one thing straight: I'm forgetting these curses ever happened, got it? You all should do the same!

[What Rita has failed to notice--but what's pretty obvious to anyone who looks thanks to the green tank top she's wearing--are two or three small fading bruises on the sides of her neck. The genius mage still has some hickeys as a souvenir.]

Are you sure? You don't look too happy.

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

Um, well... It's nothing! I'm just being silly. Don't worry!

[blastiafreak]

But...

[She tries to think, but she's love-dense nothing comes to mind.]

Are you sure nothing happened?

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

No, nothing happened to me.

[She will tell you later, Rita. :(]

Um, but...

[AWKWARD PAUSE. She leans forward to whisper.]

Rita, there are... Bruises... On your neck.

[blastiafreak]

[Rita sure hopes she will! She worries when her bff isn't happy.

But right now, she's just a little confused.]

Huh? But I haven't done anything to it...

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

[Oh god.]

Hold on!

[Estelle runs off for a moment, returning with a small mirror, which she holds up.]

See?

1/2

[blastiafreak]

[Rita looks--and blinks.]

...Where did they come from? Nobody's touched it or-

[blastiafreak]

[Wait. WAIT. OH HELL.]

I-- Th-that's-!!

[She can't do anything besides sputter and turn as red as a tomato.]

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

[FFFF oh god now Estelle is blushing, too!]

Maybe we can cover them somehow! Or...

[sob]

[blastiafreak]

[Sob this is such a disaster.]

I-I...I'll just--Nobody knows what they are or anything, right? It can't be that obvious!

[/denial denial denial]

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

Ah, well... I-I think they're a little obvious...

[POOR BB. A pause!]

Oh! I could try healing them!

[blastiafreak]

I can't believe everyone just saw them on the network!

[Oh, Estelle, you are a lifesaver.]

You can, right? E-even if they just fade a little!

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course!

[So Estelle clasps her hands together and concentrates. That familiar magic circle appears underneath her as she casts the spell. WILL IT WORK?]

[blastiafreak]

[Rita would watch Estelle, but she closes her eyes from the bright light. The bruises weren't painful, so she can't even tell that they've disappeared from her skin.]

Th-thanks. I can't really...Are they still there?

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

[Estelle breathes a sigh of relief.]

Yes! All gone.

[blastiafreak]

[She gets a grateful look in response, although Rita's still blushing horribly.]

Thanks, Estelle. Uh...There aren't any more, are there?

[She turns slightly to the side, partially out of embarrassment and partially because there might be marks on her shoulder (although if anything was there, the spell took care of it).]

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

No, none left! You're safe.

[She offers Rita a comforting smile.]

[blastiafreak]

[She sighs in relief. Estelle, at least, really is comforting.]

Good. Uh...Thanks for looking. I-I think it'll be fine.

[selenoscape.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Are you sure you're all right?

[blastiafreak]

Oh, well...Yeah. It was just a curse.

[So much denial forever.]
