Quest 299

[Filtered from Known DELILAH Members | Blue's Codes | Unhackable]

My goodness, is it really March again already? With all that fuss over the desert and the glass and the waiting in lines for days on end, I must've completely lost track of the time!

Still, it seems as though that fuss is over with now, and the City is settling back into its routine again, just as it always does when things like this happen. It's odd, though; everyone knows how the City runs like a clock, with the Carousel and the numbered buildings and all that awful machinery in the heart of the Underground. But I almost rather wonder if sometimes it isn't a bit like an hourglass, too--running along normally for most of the time, but then with a great upheaval every so often as it turns itself over again. Goodness knows it'd certainly explain all the sand.

...Oh, and speaking of the sand, it's been just about a year since the tower by Building Three turned to sand and fell, isn't it? It seems as though sand keeps turning up again and again, lately--which rather makes me wonder if that mention of an hourglass is a bit more apt than I'd thought, even.

In any case, things do seem to be getting back to normal--or as normal as they're likely to get, in the City, and as we all saw for ourselves yesterday, even the curses are back to usual again. With any luck, things will stay quiet for a little while, at least. We've had some terrible curses in March before--the Ides of March in particular comes to mind--but after so much commotion last month, there's always the chance we may get lucky for a little longer. I certainly wouldn't mind having a nice, curse-free day for the first of spring.

My, and that's coming up quite fast now, too, isn't it? Goodness, it's only thirteen days now. As quickly as time has been slipping by lately, two weeks seems like almost nothing at all.


[OOC: Spoilers: the first of spring is also Rosella's birthday, and it's particularly special this year because she'll be twenty-one on the 21st. WHERE DID THE TIME GO?!]

It's almost unfortunate that we've come to think of curses--like the one we had yesterday--as 'ordinary'.

I suppose so. As one poet said, one can make a Hell out of Heaven and a Heaven out of Hell.

[Meanwhile, scheming birthday plans...]

You are the one who spends the better part of her time in the library. I ought to ask you to look it up.

I almost wonder if I ought to tell you now.
wandbreaker: (True - over papers)

[personal profile] wandbreaker 2012-03-09 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I found a roommate.
misterblackbird: (So Newly Charming)

[personal profile] misterblackbird 2012-03-09 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Very well, then. I shall leave you to your search.
wandbreaker: (True - thinking thinking thinking)

Well, he's Merlin, so if you don't like him I suppose we have a problem.
wandbreaker: (True - pondering)

[personal profile] wandbreaker 2012-03-09 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Is there a difference?

I suppose that's something else to find out about it.
