The grand scheme of things: Clues!
Year: 2009 as per solar/"Gregorian" calendar, as far as we know -> evidence is people from the same time period being familiar with the stance of technology
:: compare my year: 1792 as per solar calendar (renaming of Edo to Tōkyō in 1868, Meiji period, opening to the West; from Makimachi-san) ::
Barriers on all sides - underground, sea, sky. (from Riou-san; Radius?)
Curses: Theme for each month? (from Tamura-san) Sometimes themed for holidays - sometimes twisted, others not; often "good" curses - holidays of different cultures, though mostly "contemporary"
-> special: the curse that lets people in -> some of them seem to know a lot; note: needle them next time
Worlds: most similar to my own! City attuned to these -> adaptation to its citizens?
Warden elections: organized by deities! Distraction-manoeuver?
Library: never gives you what you're looking for
Forest: dangerous creatures! Passage through it to the beach
--> magic in some things, not in all
Overall a tendency for mixed messages; some things to make us feel at home, others for annoyance or torture (subjective)
June: an epidemic of fleas - left behind by Adrastus and his mother?
Pesticide -> deities are not sympathetic to Adrastus & mother, or the reverse? (from Carl)
-- Adrastus's messages: hear the beat - heartbeat? Ticking? The clock as the womb? The City as the womb? And then the mother: tied to the City how? --
Clock stopped working during zombie invasion in December -> end of the year always unusual happenings (from Lockon-san)
-> mid-year as well?
Regular "mixed curse weekend" since February or March - usually the first weekend of the month
-> second weekend in June -> meaning?
-> meteor shower on the first weekend -> planned or disruption in the "deity schedule"?
Note: talk to deity(/ies)
Deity Office: guarded; no unguarded back entries -> if entry is wished, under pretense of wanting a trade might be best; note: search network for precedent attacks/invasions of Deity Office (in progess; so far no luck)
-> carousel seems invincible (... thanks, Kanda)
Note: It's not making sense yet.

So that was Father's Day according the the City, huh? For the record, I liked it. I liked it a lot. I spent the day with my father, and I had so much to tell him and to explain! What's been going on in the last three years, and then how this City works. And, most importantly, I got to say goodbye to him.Even if he wasn't real -- I want to believe he was. Umi-chan is right: for this, I thank you, City.
Now, can we have the same thing for next Mother's Day? I'd even be willing to stick around until then, if that were the case.
... I probably shouldn't be saying this, knowing how many people were visited by bad fathers yesterday, huh? Ah, well. Not like I'm getting my hopes up. That would be foolish.
Back to everyday City routine, it is!
