Those things aren't Digimon, I don't think. [Ken peers off screen, likely out the window at the worms crawling around.] First yesterday's shower of meteors, and now these overly large worms.

Does anyone know why things are getting more aggressive? Is it because of the revolutionaries?

Or they just could be hungry and need a lot of food to get bigger.

[oceantrauma]

That would be really bad.

What would they eat if they got bigger?

[deadmanbusiness]

People.

[oceantrauma]

That wouldn't be good! Some people might not be able to fight them off!

[Wait.... Ken might not be able to fight them off....]

[deadmanbusiness]

Generally speaking it's not. But I'm sure we could find some people from the prisons to sacrifice to the worms.

[It's hard to tell if he's joking or not right now.]

Or you could open up a gun shop and start selling guns to shoot them.

[paving]

Do you think the deities sent them, then?

[oceantrauma]

Why would you want to do that? Have their crimes been that awful? [Joking or not, Ken is sure taking it seriously.]

[oceantrauma]

Who else would send them?

[lawbender]

Be careful, Ken. They bite.

[deadmanbusiness]

I don't know. I imagine it depends on the reason they're in there, doesn't it?

[oceantrauma]

Did one of them bite you?

[oceantrauma]

Does anyone know the reasons they're in there? I certainly don't.

[deadmanbusiness]

It could be anything from murder or something like that to a deity just didn't like their face.

You could always go ask them.

[oceantrauma]

We could, but it still doesn't seem right to sacrifice them like that.

[deadmanbusiness]

It'll give them something good to do with their lives and what else are they doing, anyway?

[Still not sure if he's joking or not.]

[oceantrauma]

But what if they don't want to? We don't even know if the worms really do eat people when they get bigger, do we?

[deadmanbusiness]

We don't even know if they'll get bigger!

[oceantrauma]

[A frown. This person is a little tricky....]

Then I just hope they don't get bigger. Maybe they'll leave tomorrow, like most of these things do.

[deadmanbusiness]

Considering that's how most of these things work out, I'd have to say they'd probably disappear. In the meantime.

[He flicks a nasty looking knife.]

Target practice?

[paving]

I suppose it could be possible . . .

What perplexes me is that there's a force field around the City from what I've learned. Meteors can't just come in from the sky, can they? It means that someone let them in, or that the force field isn't working properly.

[oceantrauma]

Yes. That's the part that bothers me. Which is it? It's more like the former, considering the deities.

[oceantrauma]

I don't see any need for that if they're not attacking!

[deadmanbusiness]

From what I've heard, they are!

[paving]

You think so? Hmm. Why do you think they'd do such a thing?

[oceantrauma]

It's common belief they control the weather and curses. And considering recent events, I wouldn't be surprised if they were angry.
