I keep wondering if there's a reason these crazy everything-curses happen kinda regularly and...the other ones don't. I mean, I guess it's not exactly that, since it's a bunch of curses just all at once. But isn't it the only kind of thing that keeps happening in, you know, a way we can expect?

Sometimes I wonder if there's not just Deities but a machine attached to the clock or the carousel or something, something they use. Like...like an oven. You make a cake, but deities make curses uhhhh okay maybe that doesn't work but you know what I mean, right? So for one curse you put one thing in and for another you put something else, but for a ton of curses you just throw everything into the oven.

I mean...after all this time I still don't get it - the curses, I'd say some of them are fun even if other ones are pretty awful. Someone told me they thought it was maybe that the City kinda runs on upsetting people. [ ,_, pause ] But that doesn't explain the nice things - like the cake falling out of the sky day, or being turned into a little kid. I always have fun on those days. [ ...perhaps not so much for his poor bro/keeper.... ] And there was a school one - a few times - and I don't even usually like school but it was kinda fun anyway...

Just thinking, I guess. Who made this place? There's gotta be some kind of reason for it, right?

[ Pause... ]

Riku get out of that shoe...

[ CLICK! ]

I believe the city runs more on emotions good and bad. I really have nothing to base that on however.

I like your analogy of the cake. It does feel like they just toss everything in the oven and watch to see what happens.

[ A little laugh and some mumbling and something falling over as he wrangles a cat into not-knocking things over...hopefully... ] ---er yeah, the emotions thing'd make sense to me more than Bad Feelings. I'm happy I was sent here and I know some other people are too, so...

Glad you like it though! It makes me wonder what an oven for a curse would even look like...

[Sounds like he has his hands full over there. ^^]

Yes, there has to be some kind of magic or 'an oven' like you said that causes the curses. I have never been able to find the source though. I imagine it could be in the underground some where.

[ both hands u_u full of CAT lmfdslk but he loves his cats so :x ]

I guess they might not need one too, like you know, some of the people here who can just do magic. Thouuugh a lot of those people use wands, like the good fairies, so even if there's no oven maybe some other...thing.

I was also wondering exactly how many deity things there are. Like, do we know all of them?

[ some more shuffling... ]

[Ah this feeling! Eagle knows it well! He had to pull one of his cats down from the top of his Christmas tree. ]

A friend of mine can use magic with the help of a sword so I know exactly what you mean.

I really don't think I know all of the deities. The most prominent one seems to be Laszlo, but there are so many others and I never managed to catch all of their names.

[At the continued shuffling... ]

Are you alright over there?

[ lest they become tree-decorations themselves u_u -- cat owning kindred. ]

Yeah that's the thing with magic. There's so many kinds. I mean, it's really neat in a lot of ways.

Laszlo...which one's that? [ Sora really ought to be better able to keep track but he's never much tried talking to them himself and pinning down a name with a face is that much harder for it.

In any case, the shuffling pauses then a sort of whump which is just Sora sitting down, cat curling disgruntled in his lap. ] Oh yeah, I'm fine. Me and Riku.

Just had to get his claws out of my shirt.

[They would make cute ornaments. ]

Laszlo is the Doctor who often appears on the Network wearing sunglasses. He is an older gentleman with grey hair. You might have seen him around? It seems like he usually handles the trades and day to day things.

[It is difficult to keep them all straight. Even Eagle who has been here for nearly two years now still doesn't know them all. ]

And what is Riku?

[He can't actually see that Riku is a cat via audio. ]

[ cute and...lively... ]

Oh yeah I think so...he reminds me kinda of a teacher actually.

[ Pause. ]

He's a kitt-- er, a cat. I keep calling them kittens but they're pretty grown now - we have two.

A teacher? I always thought of him as more of a police officer for some reason. I think he is actually something of a scientist though.

[Cue cute kitty talk!]

I can't help but do the same thing with our two cats. They do still act like kittens but they are fully grown by now. Still, it can be difficult to remember that.

Oh yeah...I can see that. I can kinda see all of them actually. But he confuses me a lot of the time either way...

[ Sora would say he speaks in riddle ish ways but he's not sure it's that so much as that he himself just doesn't understand it very much.

Cats though, he gets...er...well insofar as anyone does. ]

Haha yeah and they don't seem to mind. They still respond. Someone told me as long as we feed them and clean their boxes then it probably doesn't matter if we call them kittens or cats...

I believe he does that on purpose. All of the deities seems to speak in riddles and they rarely bother to just say what they want you to know. You mostly have to guess.

[Well, Eagle can say it for he has long thought some of the deities see themselves as parents instruction errant children, trying to led everyone toward a goal but not wanting to say just what that goal is. That was for the 'children' to figure out.]

Oh that's true. I doubt the cats really care at all if they are thought of as cats or kittens. Though they do seem to remember their names well enough.

I don't think I've ever heard of it like a cake. That's kind of weird.

But I dunno, I guess that I always assumed that the deities made it. Never really thought about it. Never really mattered.

[OoC: FYI, in his last entry, Demyx referred to Sora by name. Milestone!]

I know. It'd be a really weird cake anyway I guess, but...I mean kinda of everything matters.

I used to think I already believed that but...being here I think's made me believe it even more, even though I don't really understand what it is...like, maybe it was the deities...but if it wasn't I just would like to know who it was. If they're still around or if you know, the deities replaced them or something....

[ooc: <3 got it thank you ;; ]

Well, I'm alive here, so I guess I never really needed to know why, or who was behind it. I guess that it still doesn't really matter to me.

What would you do if it was someone else?

That's an interesting theory. It's the first that someone has compared the curses to cakes. [He lightly chuckled.] Still, I wonder myself as well.

Perhaps a further research pertaining to the clock system may be in order.

Yeah like each one's a different ingredient or something and they keep showing up, or different versions of similar things...and the City is one big cake. I guess it doesn't work really well, but it's the only thing I could think of...

Maybe. It's always been the clock or the carousel but those things always seem to go wrong. I keep wondering if we're missing some other way.

I've been all over this place though. I just...guess it'd help if we had any idea what to look for. A lot of people'd probably look for a way out, I guess.

[It was an odd analogy but he did follow along, giving small "hm." responses here and there to let him know he was comprehending.]

True, those have been involved in plenty of the major events that have occurred here. I don't recall it ever stop... [He paused as he fell into a deep thought.]

...moving. [Had it been going even during the sand incident? The invasions? And even so he was certain those in the past have thought of such idea and made attempts to destroy it... or have they? He wasn't so sure now.]
