I have a question, City.

[This time he's very careful not to let anything show he doesn't want to show. Just his face, looking thoughtful, and him talking calm and collected.]

Is there any theory why some seem to be affected by curses more frequently than others?

Are there any other theories anyone has about the nature of curses and this place?

I haven't seen any pattern to the curses? Or, any reason for some who do get effected more to be effected like that. Maybe it's just bad luck.

As for the city, it feels almost like they're toying with us? The deities, like it's a game. They throw curses at us, make us trade away important things to get other things we need, people seem to be thrown in and leave at random no matter how long or short of a time they've been here. Maybe there's a purpose behind it and I just haven't been here long enough to pick up on it yet.

That probably doesn't answer your questions. Sorry.

No need to apologize it's quite useful and I already suspected much of it.

What about the deities, do you know anything at all about them?

I've seen three around. Lazlo, that-- um, one that talked about paperwork, and a girl, I think? Lazlo mentioned someone named Mouse before, maybe that's her.

Aside from that, no.

Do you know anything about the ones that you do know? Talked to them?

Laszlo likes chemistry, and Mouse physics? Lazlo seems like the more friendly one out of them, too-- but I wouldn't trust it. That's it.

Sound like a school class. I'd not trust it, either. Thank you, Akito-chan.

Mm'! Sorry I couldn't help out more than that.

What are these "curses?"

[sympathyforme]

It seems to be hard to pin down. They influence people in the city, some more, some less often, and can be physical and emotional changes, from affecting someone's nature to putting them into a new setting. Typically only last for 24 hours and any pattern there is is erratic.

I have seen it suggested that they're actually caused by hypnotism, possibly connected to the ticking, but I'm skeptical of that.

I see. Who's in charge of this city? Sounds like something the Patriots would do...

[sympathyforme]

The so called deities, by the looks of it. I am trying to gather information on them right now.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Let me know if you find out anything else. I just arrived here the other day myself.

[sympathyforme]

I will, if the agreement's mutual. Let's keep each other up to date.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Fair enough.

I'm Raiden.

Kira. Question, is anyone you know in the city?

private; video, because Setsuna's not home at the moment;

[beyourarmy]

Hey, you still bleeding?

private; video, because Setsuna's being an idiot

[sympathyforme]

No. You know I heal fast.

[And lie well.]

private; video, actually, this time he's ahead of the game

[beyourarmy]

[Yeah, he knows Kira lies, and he knows where this is going.]

You sure you're still healing? That body won't last forever.

private; video, same difference, I say

[sympathyforme]

No, it won't, but it doesn't have to. Just long enough.

private; video, no...he knows more than Kira~!

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, and how much longer does it have?

private; video, Kira does NOT like that

[sympathyforme]

It didn't come with an expiration date.

private; video, TOO BAD!

[beyourarmy]

There might not be a date, but it's gonna expire. You sure you don't have an idea of when, though?

[shall_yield_us]

Oh, look. He lives.

[sympathyforme]

Hallelujah.
