Glad I was spared this weekend. Would've just made things more complicated.

Anyone got any ideas how the hell that works? Is it really just random, the people that end up cursed?

And...how much about the deities do you guys know? Violent tendencies?

The cupcakes were cool, but we need to have a talk. Meet me at Xanadu within the next hour.

That's even more fucked up, though!

[errandry]

I kinda noticed that.

[ blargh. somewhat less snippily - ]

This one guy I talked to says they might still be kinda awake in there.

[beyourarmy]

That's just....

Okay. So these guys aren't violent, just malicious. And I DO NOT want to end up a horse on the carousal.

[errandry]

Pretty sure nobody does! It's the first time I ever heard about 'em doing something like that, though.

[beyourarmy]

Well, yeah. Of course no one would want that....

Makes approaching them a little more tough, too.

[errandry]

What, 'cause they're pulling shit like this?

[beyourarmy]

Yeah. If I end up a horse on the carousel when my senpai gets back? Likely he's gonna kick my ass over being stupid. And I wouldn't blame him.

What did these people do to get turned into sacrifices? Or did this deity just pick them randomly?

Seemed pretty random... there was no announcement or anything. Just—bam, WE HAVE PROCESSED THE SACRIFICES out of nowhere!

[errandry]

Didn't hear from anybody who knew the people who got taken, either...

[beyourarmy]

That's even creepier.

...might mean they purposefully pick someone not attached to anyone yet, so no one goes looking for them.

[errandry]

... yeah, that's definitely way creepier, what the hell.

[beyourarmy]

And of course, asking them is pointless. They'll probably just dodge the question.

[errandry]

I dunno if they'd even answer. Has anybody ever talked to 'em besides for deals and when they show up on the network?

[beyourarmy]

I think one of my friends did. But I never got any details on that.

I would've, but another guy told me I needed to be careful about that and explained about the whole dying thing.

[errandry]

Dying thing?

[beyourarmy]

Yeah. Something about if you die here you can't leave, or something like that. And I can't afford to die here anyway.
