You don't think theres a curse.
*walks over to a cuboard and pulls out five dice*
These are from a game I used to play during our training here. 26 sided dice. Each side with a letter.
*shakes them and throws them as hard as she can against a wall*
*they bounce all over the room and eventually come to a rest in a row on the table*
D-E-A-T-H
*picks them up and throws tham again*
*the exact same thing happens again*
No matter what I do I'm being followed by death. I got given a letter by my future self. When you hand on the letter to somebody and make death appear around them the curse moves to that person. I'm pretty sure my future self thought that doing that would get rid of the curse without having to send it to some random person but it obviously didn't work.
How can you make death appear? *confused* No ... wait - it's just a word! You let yourself get influenced by a word! *jump onto the table* It's just a word! Think in another language or something like that, but don't let it influence you! Then you can break your own curse!

It's not just a word. If you concentrate on a word you notice it occuring more often but that doesn't mean it does occur more often. The letter I got told me I was now cursed, it didn't explain exactly what the curse was. It just said that I would be followed by IT until IT caught up with me. Right after I read the letter I started noticing things. Like I would think jumbled up sentences for no reason, but the five wourds in those sentences would start with D,E,A,T,H. And the things I did too. I would Decide to do something, then I would Eat something, then I'd Arrive somewhere Take something and Hold something. In that order. I didn't know for sure that it was death following me until yeterday when I got a visit from myself and everything got explained, then I got told that I had to travel back in time by 10 minutes and tell myself the same thing.

*wakes up*
*stares up at the stranger*
Who are you?
<-------?????
Well, you wouldn't believe me if I told you *smiles*
But you're really lucky I showed up when I did. You almost died.
It's just a word. You wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't get told you're cursed. Most people think of death or anything similar when they think of curses. I mean, you decide to do things all day, so why should a single Decision suddenly make the letter of a word? This is just missing any logic. However, you may drown in your self-pity now, I need to go and look for someone else. I guess she needs human help, but since I'm still a cat, I must be sufficient. Can you show me how I got here? Because I have no clue!
I've never believed in curses and I've never associated them with death. It is following me and I know that for sure.
*gets up*
I have no idea how you got here but *points down the hall*
theres the exit.
*goes back and sits on the couch*
*drinks the rest of the alcohol*
*rolls the dice again*
*the same thing happens again*
<--------Sarah
What did you do to save me?
<--------????
Well that's obvious. I just pulled you out of the water just over there.
<-------Sarah
No. I mean the bullet wound.
<-------?????
Bullet wound? You didn't have one. *confused*
Anyway. You're lucky I was out for my daily swim. Otherwise you'd have drowned. *smiles again*
Stubborn! *run around*
*absolutely have no idea where I am*
*after while, return to the woman* Erm ... could you tell me which way to go? I'm a cat, but my sense of orientation is terrible! I need to get to the forest!
You go out the door I pointed at and then you go straight across the city.
*walks to the kitchen and get another drink*
<--------Sarah
*watches the stranger*
<There was something in that smiles. Like she's trying to forget something bad.>
Um..where are we?
<--------?????
We're on an island in the middle of the ocean. I'm not even sure there is anything else out there anymore. After the accident I swam for days and then I found this place. I've been living here ever since. Never seen a ship or a plane or anything in five years.
Yes straight across.
*sits on the sofa and has a long drink*
*picks up the dice and scrathces off the five letters on each dice*
*rolls them*
<It looks like this curse doesn't even obey natural logic>
<--------Sarah
What was the accident?
<-------?????
I was on a ship. Then all of a sudden everything starts shaking. It wasn't just the ship that was shaking, it was the whole world. Then I woke up in the water and swam until I got here.
*getting angry about the seemingly callousness of that woman*
*run over to her, jump at her, scratch her face, steal two of the dice since I can't get more into my mouth and run out of the door*
*awakes*
*dizzily looks around*
*recognizes this place*
*takes deep breath of relief*
*feels hungry*
*slowly gets up*
*remembers what Podarge said about where she would be if she, Twilight, needs something*
*walks over to the bedroom*
*stares at the woman on the floor*
*drops down on her knees, feeling crushed by the feeling of loss once more*
*cries silently*
*sits on her sofa with her arms wrapped around her legs*
<I'm going to die soon. But how soon? What have I definately got left to do... I have to give the letter to Tilly. I have to make the helicopter crash. I have to put the mirror under the cupboard. I need to help stop the AI from losing control. I have to get put in the cells. I have to make myself fall of the bike and then shoot myself... again! I have to, ??? whatever was happening when I accidentally travelled forward. And I have to get shot. Well at least I have a lot to do to get it off my mind.>
*starts to cry*
<-------Sarah
*has heard the full story of the accident now*
<There's something she's not telling me. She can't have caused the accident but, theres something she isn't telling me>
