There's decent money in being a curse-bearer, actually. Depending on the curse it might only slightly vex you while being horribly inconvenient on the original recipient. There are a number of legal protections as well, a transferred curse cannot be made worse unlike the original, very few people can have more than one curse, and often the person or entity giving the curse gives up on maintaining it pretty soon... Anyway. You're trying to save up for a big purchase and could do with a little bit extra, so you're looking at a catalogue of people's curses you could take on for a heck of a bunch of the local currency. Which one tickles your fancy?

in reply to Sini Tuulia • • •Some of those definitely seem more like blessings to the right recipient.
Like, I’d be very surprised if one of the local goths with fading wardrobes didn’t snatch # 2 up immediately
Then they could get doubly paid by renting themselves out as a garment refresher to the rest of the goths in town…

in reply to Alien_Sunset • • •@Alien_Sunset Absolutely! Someone suffering from horrible nightmares would probably enjoy some bright Bollywood pizazz on the nightly, too. 😄 Or if you're very very cold. Or a DM streaming on the internet week after week, probably.
Me, I'd be deeply annoyed and a bit sad if my very select non-black clothes turned black. 😐 I picked those colours very purposefully!

in reply to Sini Tuulia • •@Sini Tuulia do the hairy legs include hairy (and warm) feet? I wouldn't say no to a bit more insulation over there.
(and if they don't include feet, oh, well, knitting ankle-lenght socks is faster than knitting over the knee ones)
the black clothing curse would be a bit of a hassle, most of my (black, of course) clothing tends to have small colourful accents, but I guess I could deal with it as my second choice.
And the imp as the third choice, as being rude outside the home involves being around people, and that doesn't happen *that* often :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • • •@valhalla The imp is a fairly simple choice!
The hairy legs are just the legs, I'm afraid. But yeah, would definitely save on the sock yarn... 😄
