[Here is one Gremio, a hand clutching his chest and a decidedly shocked expression on his face. When he speaks, he's both worried and uncertain.]

Ah, I...I don't suppose anyone is affected by a curse today, are they? Th-this is--it's a little...unexpected. I-

I would think it's only temporary...

[ooc: Gremio has a heartbeat again!]

[axeofoath]

Oh, no, no--My heart started beating!

[designedtoparty]

You do realise that's probably a good thing, right?

[axeofoath]

D-do you think so? But for it to start so suddenly after all this time...

[designedtoparty]

Unless you'd rather be dead.

In which case I'd recommend you get yourself over to a psychiatrist, or whatever. That ain't normal.

[axeofoath]

Oh, ah--no, I-I'm certainly grateful! However, I'm afraid I don't entirely understand how.

[designedtoparty]

Who cares how? It's beating, right?

[axeofoath]

That...that's right, yes...

[And he finally starts to calm down a little.]

Ah, I'm sorry. You're exactly right, of course.

[designedtoparty]

[And so for once in his life, Nathan is something vaguely resembling helpful.]

Cool. So, how'd you die in the first place? Your nerves finally get too much for you?

[axeofoath]

[Gremio would say he's been quite helpful! Even if that question is entirely awkward conversation material...]

Ah...No, not exactly. I-I doubt it would be a pleasant story for you to hear.

[designedtoparty]

Oh, come on. I can take it. I could even tell you about one of the times that I've died.

[axeofoath]

Oh, I--I'm sorry to hear that...

If you really must know, I died in a prison.

[designedtoparty]

You were raped to death?

[Sadly, that's his actual idea of what prison death must be like.]

[axeofoath]

[asdklmal oh Nathan]

I--I beg your pardon?!

[designedtoparty]

Hey, if you don't want me to guess, you should probably stop being so obvious about it.

[axeofoath]

Well, I merely thought to leave it at that!

It was by a weapon, nothing--else.

[designedtoparty]

And weapon isn't code for...

[Insert hand motions here.]

[axeofoath]

[...The hand motions go a little over his head...]

Code? No, there was no stabbing involved...

[designedtoparty]

No stabbing with weapon weapons, or no stabbing with the weapon?

[The last part is accompanied by a a very unsubtle crotch grab.]

[axeofoath]

I--There was no stabbing, period! I believe I already told you that your...your guess wasn't the case.

[designedtoparty]

You were being evasive and you told me you died in a prison.

What else was I supposed to think?

[axeofoath]

Certainly not that!

[designedtoparty]

Well, okay. Would you be more comfortable sharing if I went first?

[axeofoath]

Ah...No, that's quite all right. I don't believe it's something that needs to be shared.
