68- A bit clock-y, isn't he?

I am unsure what manner of curse this is, aside from an apparent invasion of furry, powerful, toothed, and scaled creatures. I have managed to fight my way through a crowd of alligators, though. And I must say that I feel no more like that Steve Irwin fellow than I did yesterday. [He laughs at his own joke a little bit. Because that was supposed to be funny.] I would, of course, be more than happy to rescue anyone in need of it.

But now I feel that I must go back to my old problem of needing clock reparations. I can't seem to keep them going right recently. I can't imagine why, but perhaps this is what the City does to clocks after a time, hah! as a way of messing with the minds of its citizens on curses. If you can't tell when midnight is, you can't tell when they start and stop. So, I am planning on putting a stop to it.

Just stay away from rays, I suppose.

And clocks.

[amansgottadowhat]

I'm uncertain what you mean.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[He would warn Hammer about what's under the clock but... eh. Let him figure it out]

That is indeed a problem.

Irwin died from a sting ray barb to the chest, I think.

And I think you have company.

1/3

[amansgottadowhat]

Ah, my mistake, I thought you meant sun rays.

However I still don't know what you mean by company and clo-

[amansgottadowhat]

[Gasp!]

[amansgottadowhat]

Oh for the love of all that is good and handsome, what is that?!

[amansgottadowhat]

Indeed. It seems the City keeps bringing back problems that are unwanted.

[Swing and a hit.]

[anunluckypenny]

Just don't mess with the clock behind you, okay?

[amansgottadowhat]

I have- been informed of the problem, yes.

[anunluckypenny]

At least it's just a spider, right? Nothing you can't handle.

[amansgottadowhat]

Quite true. Although, even I must admit that I've never seen one quite as large as this one was.

Is.

[A pause, in which you can tell that he's being certain. Also, a rather final sounding whack.]

Was.

[signatures]

I don't know but you should bloody well kill it.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Fixing your clock is a problem?

[amansgottadowhat]

[We're sorry, the person you are trying to contact is not available right now. Please come back, and try again later. Or, if your call is urgent, please leave a message after the various sounds of screaming and whacking coming through the device.]

[amansgottadowhat]

[Or swing and a miss. Damn, he was trying to insult you. Sigh.]

It was broken fairly recently. The frequency with which it is breaking leads me to believe that it might be more than a coincidence.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[He was purposely ignoring it, Hammer.]

Have you tried buying a new one?

[amansgottadowhat]

[He'd say 'fuck you', but that would be too close an invitation for comfort.]

Yes. Last month. Which makes the new problems with it all that more frustrating, and so obviously part of some higher plan the deities have.

[majorcrotchgrab]

You must have bad luck then.

[amansgottadowhat]

It is a ploy!

[majorcrotchgrab]

Everyone's out to get you, Hammer!

[amansgottadowhat]

[LINEFACING.]

Not everyone. Just the deities. [And. Some other people, who are not the deities. Quite a few other people.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Have they done other stuff before - aside from the curses?

[amansgottadowhat]

Not that I've noticed, but I'm sure that it's never too late for them to start up something more sinister than before!

[majorcrotchgrab]

Or you could just buy poorly made clocks.

[amansgottadowhat]

[See, this is why he doesn't like you. Well, this and all the crotch-grabbing. Why can't you support him a little bit more!

You know, aside from the crotch-grabbing support.]

Believe what you wish.

[majorcrotchgrab]

You should buy a nice grandfather clock...

[amansgottadowhat]

That's a distinct possibility, actually.

I will consider it.

[majorcrotchgrab]

See? I'm not all that bad.

[amansgottadowhat]

I don't believe that I ever said that you were. [Outloud.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

I'm good at reading people like you.

[amansgottadowhat]

Perhaps you should stick to books.

[majorcrotchgrab]

How harsh.

[signatures]

Did you get it?

[amansgottadowhat]

Quite.
