Am I mistaken, or have we had a bit less down-time lately, between the curses?

As I've seen significantly less people chained together today, I suppose I'd best take the opportunity to address the Network.

My bar, the Wolf's Den, is currently hiring; preference will be given to those with experience, but I'm willing to give newcomers a chance, provided you are competent.

And-- needless to say, if you've an objection to our clientele, then you need not apply.

[ He doesn't bother with any of 'Li's affectations this time. A lie is only as good as its use, after all. ]

I suppose the change in curses is the price Citizens pay for complacency.

[Oh, but you had such a bumbling, boyish charm going for you, Li.]

Do you think so? I believe last month I saw more efforts to escape the City than during the rest of my stay, combined. I'm not convinced complacency is what's being punished.

[whitetwoguns]

You know, now that you mention it. Sure does feel like down time. Maybe we're finally getting a break.

[defies_reason]

That seems somehow unlikely.

[valentineluke]

Not seeking employment, I offer entertainment. Circus Carnivore's Night Show has a number of side acts perfectly suited for small venues.

[defies_reason]

Come, now, wouldn't sword-swallowers in the lounge be a bit obvious?

Yes, a great deal less time, it seems. The curses have lasted longer, as well. It's troubling.

It still amazes me that anything is ever done, in the rare moments between disasters. Moreso now than ever.

[vengefully]

Less down time? I've noticed as much too.

[defies_reason]

And what do you make of it?

[moonlitrequiem]

I have been absent this past month, therefore I'm not sure what you mean. There have been more curses?

[defies_reason]

It was my understanding that they generally don't fall back to back, unless it's over a weekend.

[synanthrope]

The deities are making mistakes.

[defies_reason]

What makes you say that, Ms. Wallace?

[intheblanks]

It's a break in the usual pattern. Maybe we were getting too comfortable.

The Wolf's Den?

[From the name and mention of clientele he's wondering if you have a fuzzy time of the month.]

[defies_reason]

I'd hardly call this place comfortable.

[But one does what one can. Privately, he agrees, he thinks.]

A small joke. In my own world I owned the Fox Hole, this seemed like a step up.

Why would anyone take issue with your clientele?

[They seem like perfectly decent people. Some of them even buy him drinks!]

[Oh, Pavel Andreievich, your obliviousness really is a charm.]

I can't see any reason to.

[He'd explain, but he's painfully curious to see how long it will take a genius to sort it on his own.]

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Wolf's Den? Do you have youkai there? I'm a hell raven -- that's a fire demon for you human folks -- and I really need something useful to do around here...

[defies_reason]

As I'm not certain what youkai are, I'm inclined to say we don't.

[council_king]

And what kind of 'clientele' is that?

[defies_reason]

You could always drop by and find out. We are very welcoming.

(So going to have good laugh if you show your face there)

It has been rather active on the curse front. How strange...

[defies_reason]

I think I prefer the previous scheduling.

Why would anyone be mad at people going to a bar? [ Go on, explain it to the 1940s soldier. ]

[defies_reason]

Clearly I've not done enough advertising.

[Well, it's his pleasure to do so, really.]

Though it's my hope that everyone finds it welcoming, the Wolf's Den is a gay bar.
