[...] What is an unexpected skill or special interest in your repertoire.

And why did someone add a ferret stampede to Temporal Puzzle 5146.b.

Is anyone a proficient driver of [...] station wagons. I have to go into Stamford this weekend and the agency burdened me with a freighter.

Because the ferret stampede adds more urgency. The frog stampede was just annoying.

The Vatican watchlist.

[craquelure]

The frog stampede was squi [...] not ideal. I'll grant you that.

Why?

[timepilot]

Exactly. I thought about getting them to put a ox stampede, but the tech guy said that was already in 1568.c.

Found a random text that suggested that specific items were so cursed that only the Vatican could secure them, and they were locked in the secret archives. Kind of fell down a rabbit hole.

[craquelure]

I would like to know more about the Vatican's cursed collection.

[timepilot]

My favorite one is the 30 pieces of silver, personally.

[craquelure]

The 30 pieces of silver?

[timepilot]

Yep. They're really something to look at. Didn't touch them, though.

[craquelure]

I wonder what sort of curse they hold.

[timepilot]

The one I hear most often is the holders will always be betrayed by the person they love most/are closest to.

[craquelure]

Tired. They could come up with new curses. The bottom of every grocery bag you're given falls out when you're halfway home.

[timepilot]

Some curses are classic for a reason. Being betrayed by someone you love and trust? Devastating, I'm told.

But my favorite new curse is hoping the bottom of your foot itches constantly.

[craquelure]

A fact of life, I'd counter.

Every desk you use has a wobbly leg.

[timepilot]

Dunno about that. Can't say I've ever been dealt with it.

It always feels like a stray hair or cobweb is touching your face.

[craquelure]

Every phone call begins with seven seconds of poor service.

[timepilot]

Every shirt is just a little too tight at the wrists and a little too short in the torso.

[craquelure]

May your soup only arrive lukewarm.

[timepilot]

May your pies always have a soggy bottom.

[craquelure]

May you always step in a puddle when you wear clean socks.

[timepilot]

May all of your pillows be warm.

[craquelure]

Wow Davis, too far.

[timepilot]

Don't get on my bad side, St Pierre.

[craquelure]

Noted.

[timepilot]

Gotta say, love that that's where your line is.

[craquelure]

I get little enough sleep that I take what I do get very seriously.

[timepilot]

You know there are ways to get more sleep, yeah?
