Well, I think by now everyone knows of the earthquake two days ago. In case someone slept through it, in which case I envy them their deep sleep, the network would have amply informed them. Not only that, but also the lights, and that they were hitting the barrier, and the tides, and the animals...

Anyway. Point of this entry is -- and this information is for the Curse Brigade, too -- Rosella and I went to have a look at that yesterday. All properly in a boat and all.

Not that we found much of anything. There wasn't any damage as far as we could see it. I don't know, maybe someone checked the underground and knows different. But the barrier in the sea is intact. On the way there, we also did not see anything unusual.

Still, it would be advisable to be cautious. It's only been two days, so I don't think it's all that impossible for there to be a follow up yet. Huey, I heard you think it may be something from a book called the Bible?

Another common theory, one I share, is that this is related to what happened almost a year ago now, when there was also an earthquake, and we were all attacked by a hair monster after. Which, by the way, could be warded off with lemon cakes. Before its mother came to get it -- and that was the end of that.

That's all, I think. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Asano Rin, out.

Umi-chan... are you okay?

...hair monster...and lemon cakes. Well, then it'll be a ridiculous curse.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

If that's what it'll be. I'd be in favor of that if "ridiculous" would be guaranteed to exclude "horrible".

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

Nothing is ever guaranteed in the City, though.

There is a Curse Brigade?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

You can say that again! Any guess we make is a stab in the dark around here, I feel. But But it may pay off to at least try to think ahead.

Yes! For investigation and damage control, as much as that's possible.

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

I agree with that. It's why I'm glad that there is such a brigade...

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Even if I'm currently not sure what the others are up to...

If you're interested, Mister Setsuna F. Seiei and Mister Lockon Stratos are in charge of it.

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

...I guess it would be interesting, and possibly helpful for the citizens and all...


Setsuna...Haha.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Mh, yeah! Well, honestly, I don't think the results have been that great so far, and we certainly won't be able to stop the curses, but anything is better than nothing.

Oh, so you know him?

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

This place is rather unpredictable, I guess...if it's just two people in the whole brigade, I can see how it'd prove difficult to keep up.

I met him briefly.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's more! I'm part of it, too! And others, but I'm not sure at the moment who it is.

I'm not that well-acquainted with him, either. But he's a good person, if quiet.

she's so pretty in that icon!!

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

Me neither, but I know others who are.

Thanks! <33

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Same here! My friend and flatmate is much closer to him than me... I think.

and this one--what's this cuteneees!!

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

He seems so serious, though.

Cute is what she does. Your icon is very pretty, too, by the way!

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

That's true. From what I've seen, he really is. But he also seems pretty active -- didn't he run for warden that one time?

<333

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

Did he? Wow.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, though he lost to Nakamura Hiro-san.

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

You've been here long, I can tell.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, not as long as some, but pretty long. A bit over a year... quite a bit, actually. I came the December before last.

You're... new?

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

No, I've been here over half a year, but I...must've missed that.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Ah, well... I think it was longer ago. I don't think there's even a warden anymore.

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

Did it not work out before?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

More like one day, the deities just decided they'd do away with the office. I'm not really sure what it did accomplish, at all. Besides giving us an illusion of having a say in something.

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

An illusion is what keeps the masses from revolting.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly. Though I don't know what they have to fear from us, exactly.

... hey, there's a thought. Maybe they do, and are just exceptionally good at hiding it.

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's why the curses exist.
