Is there anyone you know with healing magic? Maybe that would work because I don't even know how to undo a curse either.

[Maybe they could go on a quest? See if there are any items to undo it?]

Not personally, it's why I'm posting this on the network. I've gotten a response from someone who knows healing magic, but not specifically lifting curses.

[There may be. Gokudera has no idea. He seems understandably depressed.]

I’m still new at this but shouldn’t there be a potion to help you out too? Isn’t that how it’s suppose to work?

[Because that’s how your standard role playing healing system goes, right?]

I'm not sure how any of this is supposed to work. If you find someone who specializes in potions, I'd appreciate you mentioning my problem to them. Though... I'm not even sure what is fully happening.

Then I'm safe to assume you don't even remember digging that hole.

[He said before looking a little closer at the screen]

What kind of curse makes you do that? It seems like a strange one if you ask me.

I don’t but I’m obviously the one that dug this hole. Its the first one, I think?

[This was quite the dilemma he found himself in]

Tell you what, how about we ask around some people here? I'm sure there might be a potion to help you with your problem. There has to be at least one person who knows how to curse you.

Cure me, you mean?

[Gokudera nods his agreement.]

I was hoping someone with healing magic might know. Is there a potions shop in town? Maybe I can just go there instead of bothering everyone on the network...

I think you can but do you have enough money to buy one?

[How much does one cost anyway?]

I'm not sure. I'd have to check and then budget if I don't.

[Either way, he'd like to know if he can solve this problem. Having enough money isn't the big deal to him. It's just a new obstacle if that's the case.]

How about I come over to you and we’ll look around for some potions? It shouldn’t be too difficult to find the right one!

[Because there has to be a solution to this!]

Still, I don’t know what kind of curse involves you digging holes...

Alright. Meet me at the training grounds and we'll go into town together.

[Gokudera starts to fill in the hole, since he doesn't want anyone to get hurt, and it's a bit of an eyesore.]

It's not like I dig holes every time... Usually I just come to and I'm somewhere else.

It doesn't stop and make me wonder if you might have made someone mad. But I'll meet you there.

[He said with a sigh before eventually making his way to the training grounds. Once he does so, he was already forming plans on how to make get him the potion he needed. While he might not know much about this place, the least he could do was help someone out right?

As he eventually does go to the place, he raised an eyebrow the filled up hole.]

Um...are you the person I'm suppose to met? You're the one who asked for help, right?

[Gokudera is nearly done filling up the hole he'd originally made. It's not easy work, especially when he doesn't have any tools, but the ground is at least a little more level... safe for anyone to walk on without falling and risking injury.

He looks over at the boy approaching him and his expression is honest surprise at the obvious age different. Still, he nods.]

Yeah... Name's Gokudera. I'm the one with the curse.

[He wonders how he'd give anyone the impression that he made someone mad when he was literally out here by himself... just training and... digging holes?]

[And yet, despite coming to terms with his age, there will always be a part of him that felt frustrated by it. He should have known Gokudera would be surprised he was just a kid.

With a sigh, he looked back at the hole and then back at him.]

It’s nice to meet you, Gokudera-san. My name is Ken Amada and I hope we can get along.

[Pause] And if you needed help with the hole, you could have asked too.

[Gokudera at least isn't going to think any less of him. Ken at least seems like a well-mannered kid, and so the bomber won't readily go off on him. It's not like he's five.

He scratches his neck. Obviously, he didn't do a great job filling that hole and Ken's sighing at it! Okay okay! He knows he messed up!]

Just Gokudera, is fine. Would you like me to call you Ken?

Forget about the hole. It's not your problem.

[He isn't use to people addressing him so informally but he doesn't mind. He just scratched the back of his head before smiling at him.]

Yeah, that's fine, I don't mind!

[That and it was kind of nice to be addressed as such too.]

But anyway, let's start finding a potion for your curse. There should be a store that would give you something you need. [He said before gesturing to toward the more crowded area of the city.] Or at least, there should be one.

[Gokudera isn't very formal with most people, and those young people who do refer to him formally in Japan have only ever been his classmates or they act like he is an older brother. He's fine just being Gokudera, though. No need for formalities.]

Alright.

[A nod. It's a breath a fresh air to hang around someone younger than him who is not an outright brat.]

I hope so. Do you think there will be some kind of doctor? [Would it be something he would have to describe his curse in detail? Probably... but he doesn't really know what he does when the curse happens. All he's got to go off of is that he's been digging holes and burying random things. Apparently he barks? It happens indoors and outdoors and whether he's alone or not doesn't seem to matter.]

Or a scary old witch? [Now he's just being silly.]

I don’t think so but I wouldn’t be surprised if they was a witch involved!

[He might be vaguely familiar with the Arthurian legend but even he knows there’s always a witch being a part of the story!]

That’s usually how it always goes in magical legends, right? If there wasn’t, how else would the heroes fight?

It feels like something a witch would do. But it also seems like a specialty kind of item...

[He wonders if this all can be solved by just walking in and purchasing a potion. Wouldn't it have to be suited to counteract whatever his curse is? Is that easily diagnosed?]

I'm not sure how much of this world is based off of fairy tales or magical legends... a lot of it, but then... we've got Merlin on our devices. It's all very odd.

[Meanwhile, as Ken crossed his arms, he had to think about what he said.]

You're telling me, it's always making me wonder exactly what this world can do.

[He said before giving a small hum]

Between potions, curses, and magic? I'm just worried if I might get the wrong potion and accidentally curse you even more.

I don't like it.

[Which isn't exactly the most reassuring thing to hear, but he's not looking to be a sort of role-model, no matter how old his companion at the time is. As they walk into town, he's a little more on edge, visibly tense and then pops a cigarette in his mouth to help cut his nerves down. He lights it and takes a drag before blinking surprise over at Ken.]

Aw- shit! I hadn't even thought of that. [And he thinks and overthinks everything. The possibility of a potion making his curse worse, or adding on new effects hadn't even been one he's considered.]

[Ken did have to raise an eyebrow at what he saw. Wasn't Gokudera a little young to take a cigarette? As much as he wanted to say something, he wondered if he should keep his mouth shut.

He was already reminding him of a certain somebody back home. Especially if he was falling for his slight trolling!]

I'm not sure if it's possible but it is something we have to think about! Let's just hope we choose the right one and that it doesn't involve digging even bigger holes.

[Gokudera doesn't care how old he is or isn't for a cigarette. He's addicted, and they help him with his weapons. There's no way he'd take well to anyone mentioning his age about them.]

Of course it's possible. I'm beginning to think anything in this world is.

[He gives a soft scoff and looks away.]

I don't care about the holes that much...

[With that, Ken gave a small smirk before gesturing him toward the city. As he walked along, he had to turn around to see if he was falling behind.]

Sounds like you came from a world where magic doesn’t exist, doesn’t it?

[Maybe it was wrong of him to assume but...]

Or at least, you’re not thinking about using your imagination! [Yup, still trolling]
