"On Encountering The Jack-of-Smiles In The Streets"

[I found this awhile ago in my GMail Drafts, and have been debating posting it. I have fears with posting things here now, so this is taking a lot of courage! I did dig-up the screenshots from when I first got An Annoyance to Jack-of-Smiles at 10. Yes, 10. It took a lot of grinding to build-up that Rare result. And as of March it isn't capped either as I managed to get another few ChangePoints in it. So, yeah, Lorrie has done the Jack business a lot! I've not been happy with my writing for ages, especially the "sentence. sentence. sentence." thing I fall into. I even tried writing-up some of Lorel & Alfred, but I've lost my nerve on more of that for right now. I've also temporarily disabled Comments here due to crushing anxiety. I want to have the capacity to enable them again, but right now I'm sorry. Those that still Follow may also have noticed Tumblring to Twitter too. Anyway, here is a drabble of Cassius fighting a Jack. The date for the first part I sent had "3 April 2013 00:49" for a date/time, and this was typed using my Nintendo 3DS.]

EDIT---
Oh! What are uncapped ways to raise Melancholy? I lost a few ChangePoints with the Urchins, and would like to gain it back to make Lorel's 20 more stable in it.
