Alright, alright, okay I get it. There's music coming from nowhere to set the mood for whatever I'm doing, from eating breakfast to taking a walk. Sure, whatever, that's kind of weird and all, but I can live.

But.

Would it be too much to ask for music I liked? I didn't even know there were songs with lyrics specifically made for things like being annoyed or posting a message.

I feel really fortunate now, as I've been left out of this curse. It's bad enough I don't care for music, but to be plagued by music you don't like? I imagine that's worse.

[child_radical]

More like it'll be too futile to ask. Choice tends to be something we're stripped of if you haven't noticed.

[vesperian]

It's-- entertaining, at least, right?

[lightspins]

Pretty much, yeah. I can't say I care too much either way, but having it nonstop like this is definitely on the ridiculous side.

[lightspins]

Not even the choice of asking for different music to be played?

[lightspins]

For the first ten minutes, yeah. After that, it just got annoying.

[child_radical]

Especially that.

[vesperian]

And now you have all day to listen to this junk. Exciting.

[lightspins]

Ugh, this is ridiculous! Aren't people who play music like this supposed to take requests anyways? Even that would be better than this!

[lightspins]

Isn't there someone I can talk to about this? Or better yet, just request for the volume or whatever to be turned down? Even if I don't know how this is happening, there should be ways to get around it! Right?

[child_radical]

Curse. Normal rules don't apply.

[vesperian]

You could ask the deities, but then again I don't think they'd listen without a price.

[lightspins]

What are the normal rules in this place anyways?

[lightspins]

Asking for a volume change would come with a price? Sounds pretty stingy to me.

[child_radical]

Anything can and will happen, there's also the rule stating that screwing with the wardens of this place is a really bad idea.

[vesperian]

The deities are known for their stinginess.

[lightspins]

Figures considering we were all brought here forcibly in the first place. Who's ever heard of a friendly kidnapper? As for that first part though, I dunno if I can really prepare myself for anything in general.

[lightspins]

Can't we get even a little break?

[vesperian]

Deities don't like breaks, either.

[lightspins]

So what, their daily life consists of making us as miserable as possible nonstop? If that's their idea of fun it's pretty sad.

[vesperian]

They don't have much of a life other than torture and trades, sadly.

[lightspins]

Someone should teach them a better way to have fun.

[vesperian]

You volunteering?

[lightspins]

Why not? I'm sure it couldn't be that hard!

[vesperian]

I don't know, they seem pretty set in their ways.

[lightspins]

They just haven't met the right kind of girl yet.
