♦ ♦ 11th Contract [Anonymous Text]

Whining. Ticking. Day in. Day out.

It's been suggested that the City clock is a power-source. The Carousel -- the 'heart' of the City -- is situated above the Clock. It rotates in time to the Clock's ticking. The apartment buildings form a clock-shape. Curses range from 24 to 48 hours. City dead are revived within 24 hours. The patterns are obvious. But do they mean anything?

Unlikely.

Perhaps the Clock serves no purpose but an exercise of repetition. The Citizens have certainly perfected it. Curses strike. They whine. Curses end. They whine. They blame the 'Deities' for their predicament. They idiotically make them seem more powerful than they are. Except there's no one to blame. It's whining for whining's sake. Existence, in case you haven't realized, is unpredictable. Things change rapidly. People die. They fight. They betray. No one has control over anything.

The City is no different.

Whining will do nothing to change that. Nor will playing the hero out to *fix* everything. Suffering -- cursed or uncursed -- is nothing new.

Either grow up, or shut up.

I think it might mean the deities here quite like clocks, really. How powerful are they, by the way? You know something about them?

Funny. Are you not doing the same?

This isn't easy for everyone, you unsympathetic bastard.

Gotta second, you're kinda whining yourself.

What counts as whining?

[oceantrauma]

I'm sorry, as I definitely added to this during this month.

Though this is a bit harsh.

[negativegate]

Maybe you should take your own advice if you're going to whine about whining.

[valentineluke]

Someone is certainly having trouble tuning it out.

okay, sure, but what are you actually proposing happens then? people just accept that stupid shit randomly starts and then rolling with it when they know it's on a variably ephemeral basis? how's that any better? blaming other people, even fake ones, is usually a pretty decent way of dealing with things, actually, and you don't really seem to want people to react either way

Is it Be a Dick day today or something?

Sadly, you have a point.
