Hello. I am a bit new to this sort of technology so sorry if I'm making any mistakes but hopefully everyone will see this.

My name is Cain Knightley. I'd attach a picture if I knew how, but I'm not really sure how the camera works?

But that's not important what is important is that

look,

I know it sounds odd but if you meet me, I can't see anyone until I touch them. It's a curse I got from fighting the moon and other wizards have them, but that's their right to tell you.

I'm just stating this now so I won't run into as much trouble later. Sorry for any sort of incidents I've caused before!

Also, if any of you guys have one of these funky little clay statues but doesn't want to go to the Enma department, please just give them to me. I'll ensure they get there safely.

Fighting the moon???

[ debatable if he's thinking about the rest right now. MORE IMPORTANTLY. ]

[himbosupreme]

Oh uh right I forgot people here wouldn't know what I mean
The Great Calamity comes closer and closer and attacks us every year, and we as Sage's wizards are tasked with fending it off.

This past year's calamity was much worse than usual and the ones of us who survived had a part of our soul damaged. We're still really not sure how to fix it or why it happened.

Why are all curses so weird? Is there a single normal curse? A curse of losing things, or a curse of sleeping, or something more mundane.

How do you fight the moon? Like 🌕 <-- that moon? Not a god?

I don't understand this hell, but I think I'm realizing I don't understand the rest of the world either.

[himbosupreme]

[Okay hold the fuck up, nothing else was important except that moon emoji.]

Wait a minute how did you get that little picture there???
How did it get so small?

[kikuichi]

As curious as your curse is, I'm more curious about how you fight the moon. (・o・)

[himbosupreme]

There's not really too much to tell I don't think.
I mean

It's a bit hard to talk about sometimes when I recall the companions of mine I couldn't protect.

It happens every year, and it is our duty as Sage's wizards to defend the world from it.

I can confirm, for anyone, that this is indeed a real thing.

By the way, that explanation really does just beg more questions.

[himbosupreme]

Uh, thanks for vouching for me at least.

I'm not sure what you mean though? I told the truth, so I'm not sure how much there is else to explain. Murr is probably better to ask bout the moon anyway.

Hi. Enma department here.

Please do not give the cursed statues to even more cursed strangers. I can't believe I need to post this on a public forum.

[himbosupreme]

Huh? Someone's cursed?
I haven't given any statues to people recently so I think we're okay.

You must bump into people all the time! But then, that probably solves your problem, too..?

Or do you have to touch them in a specific way, to be able to see them?

[himbosupreme]

Yeah, you're right! It does solve the problem but I'd like for people to know I'm not doing it on purpose, you know?

I feel kinda awful for running into people all the time.

As far as I know I just have to physically touch someone though. It sort of resets every night? It's hard to say sometimes.

[worldbent]

A wizard, you say? Might you know a fellow named Shylock?

That's quite an interesting curse, though. May I ask how you acquired this curse from the moon?

[himbosupreme]

Yeah I do-he's a friend of mine!
We're comrades who come from the same world.

And we still aren't sure how or why it happened. All we know is that everyone who survived was affected.

[bratherine]

you taking the piss?

( yeah, she's almost entirely sure this is someone's way to try and become a terrible internet legend. )

[himbosupreme]

[Cain is a mighty casual speaker himself, but he did not know modern slang or what the hell this girl was talking about.]

What do you mean? Why are you asking me if I am going to the bathroom?

un: spindrift

[disagree]

...So you really weren't lying.

[ that's her only takeaway from all this 🧍‍♂️ ]

[himbosupreme]

[He might have sighed, just a little bit.]

No, I wasn't. Honestly, I've been told I'm really bad at it, and never liked to do it in the first place if I didn't have to.

[federates]

So did you win or lose??

barton you cant just ask a man if he won against the moon!!

[himbosupreme]

[Oh that...hurt a little bit. It was hard to think about winning or losing when just surviving seemed like a miracle and caused so much trouble on its own.]

We defeated the great Calamity that day, but it wiped out half of our members. I can't really consider it a victory when I wasn't even strong enough to protect them. If Oz hadn't been there...I don't want to think about what would've happened.

[paperpusher]

How are people supposed to give you the statues if they can't see you?

[himbosupreme]

I think you might have misunderstood me-I can't actually see them until they touch me. As far as I know, I'm perfectly visible to everyone else.

I am getting much better at sensing if people are there, though.

( He's got a lot of question, but first thing first- )

Just so you know, some of the offices are starting to get filled with thousand of haniwas that we all collected. It's going to take some time before the special team finish cleaning them to the containment zone. It's best we not bring anymore for the time being.

( This is him politely saying 'Dude don't put more haniwas in the office some unlucky people were on crack already'. )

[himbosupreme]

[Oh, well.....he was already amassing a small collection in his own room. It was fine, really. A few weird dreams was nothing...]

Really? Did they not anticipate this many of these statues appearing? I suppose if they don't know the cause...I guess I'll just keep these ones safe here for the time being.

[holeful]

[There's a lot to unpack here, but;]

Oh, it's our job to collect those things?
[The Department of the Enma is a mess.]

[himbosupreme]

[This feels a lot like when Cain had to lecture the other knights on doing their duty properly]

Yeah, it is. Did you get the message? It may be the department isn't organized enough for word to reach everyone...

[camyoflage]

so don't touch you got it got it lol
say
so if someone were like spray painting a wall
would you just see the colors going up by a ghost?
would you see the can?

i gotta know this sounds fun

dkslfj ironic username all things considered

[himbosupreme]

Spray paint? It can be applied with something other than brushes? That sounds pretty fun, actually.

Please don't try to sneak up on me, though. I can't guarantee your safety if you do that.

As far as I know, I can't see anything that people are actively holding either.

That's actually a very sad curse he's got. It makes Megumi feel a little guilty for showing Cain some attitude for grabbing him during the bar fight. Given that his sister was cursed as well, he has sympathy for those who have fallen to a curse. ]

A curse by the moon? [ Moon spirit? He doesn't know of such a spirit, but he can imagine it would be extremely powerful. ] That doesn't sound easy to break.

[himbosupreme]

No, it's not. We've been trying to figure it out because the Sage's powers help a bit, but it's not consistant. Admittedly there are others with a worse deal than me so I am hoping we can find something soon.

I don't really know if looking around here would help.
