To all the Advanced Engineering students, remember the proposal for your final project is due tomorrow. Don't turn in anything half assed or I will fail you. And if you think mommy and daddy's donations to the school will protect you, think again. I've got more money than God. In fact, God just called me on the phone yesterday and asked me for a loan. Whatever your parents donate I've probably got in my wallet so guess who the university is going to side with?

That said, some of your work so far this year has been very, very impressive. I've even seen what's going on in the high schools in the area and there are some very bright students out there. I look forward to seeing your final projects.

You're insane.

Re: Private;

I know it sounds like I am, but I'm not. Tony I swear, I...

Re: Private;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

You know what? I know the head of the psychology department. Let me get you her number...

Re: Private;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

I'm not crazy, Tony, please you have to trust me. You...I...we...

Please don't do this, not with Rain...

Re: Private;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Why do I have to trust you?

Re: Private;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Because...it's me, Tony. It's Romana. You, me, we've been seeing each other for weeks now.

There's and extra set of clothes in the closet. Blue skirt, scarlet top, brown boots - they're mine.

Please tell me you believe that.

Alright, if there is an extra set of clothes in my closet like that you're either telling the truth or much better at getting past my security than I'd believe anyone to be.

Re: Private;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

I'm telling the truth.

Please let my clothes be there still. Tell me the Deities haven't gone that far.

Re: Private;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Well I'll be damned... blue skirt, red blouse, and the boots...

Re: Private;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Thank heavens.

Do you believe me now?

Re: Private;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

I don't know what to believe.

Re: Private;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Let me...let me come over there. We could have that dinner you asked me on, get to know each other, and wait for the curse to end for midnight.

Re: Private;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Alright...

Re: Private;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Good, I can be there in just a few minutes, I'm close by.

Re: Private;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

I'll be waiting.

Romana had no idea what to say, all she knew was that she had to try something to keep Tony away from Rain until this curse was over.

She approached the door and hesitantly knocked.

"Tony?"

Re: Action;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Tony opened the door to find the beautiful, yet possibly crazy, woman that he was quite possibly in a relationship with at the door.

"Crazy lady?" he asked back.

Re: Action;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

This really was unnerving. The last curse that had changed Tony had at least allowed him to retain his memories of her.

"I'm not, oh - never mind. May I come in?

Re: Action;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"Of course, of course," Tony said, standing aside to motion her into his apartment. If he wanted to get to the bottom of this she was the only who could answer his questions.

Re: Action;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Romana entered the apartment and stood silently having no idea what to do with herself. Does she tell him everything, the City and the curses, and hope he believe her? Does she tell him about them, their relationship, and hope he believes that? Both? Neither?

Dear heavens she hoped Midnight came soon.

Re: Action;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"So is it safe to assume that your clothes are in my closet because you're the one that I'm in a relationship with?" he asked, crossing his arms and studying her.

Re: Action;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Romana tries not to fidget as Tony studies her. "Yes, that would be a safe assumption."

Re: Action;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"Any particular reason I don't remember you?" he asked, still eying her. She was definitely attractive enough for him to consider her. He was not usually the settling down type.

Re: Action;

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Here goes everything, Romana supposed.

"You're cursed - I know it sounds crazy - but you've been cursed to think you're some sort of Academy Professor and...and a single one at that."

...and I didn't fit into the Deities plans for you this time around, she wanted to say, but with the disbelieving expression on his face, mentioning the Deities might be a little overdoing it.

She waits, almost holding her breath.

Re: Action;

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Tony had to laugh at that. Cursed to think he was some sort of Academy Professor?

"And all these memories that I have are just made up?" he said, trying to keep from laughing too hard. "And the students that all know me as a professor?"
