Maya had been hoping for some kind of information on how to reverse it, if even possible. Maybe the curse was transferable, last host losing it when a new one was chosen. That would've been neat. While the more sane would've left it, no pain no gain.<strong>"Thanks Ana"</strong><br/><br/>Maya took the pendant back, studying it for a little bit longer while waiting for everyone to get ready. She considered consulting Mei on the matter, but figured in the end she'd probably end up putting it on anyways.<br/><br/><strong>"Fuck it..."</strong>She muttered to herself and tossed it over her neck, pulling her hair out so it didn't cover over the string. It probably didn't matter for the effect, the pendant was still pushing against her chest. She didn't initially feel anything. She'd assumed the effect was near instant, but then again, she'd touched it plenty without anything happening. If it did still work, it'd probably happen sooner or later. Hopefully the timing wouldn't be too inconvenient, though she anticipated it would.<br/><br/>They were summoned and led through the hallways, Sparrow hugged up to her arm as they walked through towards wherever they were being led. It was a bit odd, given how he'd been the only one to walk off the night before. And how she'd pretty much started the spectacle of bonding the night before. However, it was kind of pleasant, he had soft skin. She took the time to look around a bit. The architecture was quite captivating. She had a peek over her shoulder and down at Sparrow, and the architecture on him was quite outstanding as well, excellent use of curves.<br/><br/>They reached their destination and met the man of the house. Everything was going alright until their host, the "incredible" Omigra Shalal, took back his statements and advertised himself as a "harmless old wizard". She wasn't sure if the others thought of it, and perhaps she was overthinking it, but anyone who called themselves harmless normally weren't. He certainly didn't seem like it at least, he gave off the weirdest vibes, it was hard to pin it down. She took a seat next to Alexander, and the meal was presented. It smelled amazing, there was no doubt about that. Another case of no pain no gain, chances were something was off with the meal... But, whatever. It looked good, smelled good, and was most likely going to taste fantastic. She started eating a little when she noticed Alexander slipping a note from under his platter, proceeding to crumble it in his hand. That didn't seem good. Especially after the wizard had burned another one of the notes. As good as the food was, she found herself slowing down a bit on the food.<br/><br/><strong>"No particular opinion I guess"</strong>Maya said rather lazily to the wizard's question. Of course, it was a lie. However, with Alexander claiming so positive thoughts, it would only be rude to go out and loud and say she didn't like them.<strong>"Never really had a reason to draw hearts or skulls on the topic, will have to see when we delve deeper"</strong>. Just the subtlest hint that they had no intent of staying for too long, she at least didn't.
