The Old Man wasn't happy, he hadn't anticipated the outer-worlders using Happosai to destroy the clock. To be perfectly honest, he had just expected them to pull the battery out of the damn thing to stop the curse.

Of course, seeing the look on Happosai's face when he was told the truth, only to have him no longer remember ever having known moments later (or was that hours earlier from his point of view?) was priceless.

The Man sat there, watching DS's men try and figure out anything about him that they could. So far they had figured out that he existed. They didn't know the where, why, when, who, or how yet, and probably never would without his feeding information.

Ten to fifteen minutes later DS's men knew two more things: That the pendant could and would let DS talk with the Man, and that touching the pendant would reveal information of great importance. Of course, DS's men didn't know that it was a MAN, for all they knew it was a woman. DS would eventually be given the information, and would probably know it was fed to his men. But that didn't matter, because it was more information then he had, right?

The Man downed his Dew, finishing off the bottle, set it down, and turned to his workbench as the bottle re-filled itself. The clock had been too easily detected due to the vast fragmentation of the world. His next curse would have to be harder to pinpoint the general location of. The only problem was that the curse had to be centered in a given location in order to work.

Or did it.

Several of the Man's curses in the past had been linked to two or more objects, usually triggering when the objects were assembled. Why not remove the need for the objects to be assembled?

At that moment the man heard an egg timer like ring. He walked over to a small box, pulling a parchment out of the box. After reading over the parchment the man smiled a very devious looking smile.

The man had planned on using a shield generator spell to protect the cursed items, but now he had a better plan. The outer-worlders would have a lot harder time stopping his next curse. He figured they deserved a break, and some time to decide to contact him, so he decided to work in a normal timeframe. After arranging for Happosai to meet a nice young girl in Greenland so he could get blasted back to Japan, anyway.

Soon he had gathered together all the materials he needed for his next curse. He was about to start his incantations when a small alarm went off. The man turned back to his mirror and stared.

Happosai was annoying those blasted American Scientists again.

The man gave Happosai another gentle push and made note to not allow his curses to push perverted old men to escape velocity. After downing his Dew, and having it re-fill, the man started his incantations.....
