Very funny City. And Deities. That ability to control fire that I got? I need it back. ASAP.

You know how we can't fucking survive without oxygen or how some people can't function without smoking at least a pack of cigarettes a day? Yeah. That's kind of how I'm feeling right now without my mutant power.

So give it the fuck back. Right now.

I'm not waiting a day for this shitty curse to be over.

The Archive.

[ex_erring42]

Are you some kind of a computer?

[archivy]

No.

[ex_erring42]

What's with the weird name then?

[archivy]

It is who and what I am.

[ex_erring42]

An archive?

[archivy]

Yes. I am the sum of human knowledge.

[ex_erring42]

You're serious, aren't you? [ One thing about living in the City, he's learned not to be too surprised. ]

[archivy]

Yes.

[ex_erring42]

So you know everything there is to know about everything?

[archivy]

No. I know everything that has been recorded in any way.

[ex_erring42]

Almost everything then. But how?

[archivy]

Magic, Mr Allerdyce.

[ex_erring42]

Guess that explains everything then.

[archivy]

I do not think that you possess the understanding required for the more complicated explanation.
