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?

(OOC: Brought to you by this thread. o/ OH AND, with the current bankwagon going on, I am reminded - because I keep forgetting - that I wanted to thank whoever gave me the userpic addon a while ago! Really, that was so sweet. ♥ Thanks!)

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.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

You know, that might even be possible. Because I don't think these guys are all-powerful. That one's practically proven, in fact!

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

So who's the real ruler here?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

... I'm drawing a blank there.

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

Is it truly the deities who pull us all here? And if so, why?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Those are like the Big Mysteries Of The City.

[betterthanthen.livejournal.com]

I wonder why no-one negociated information out of the deities...

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's for lack of trying, really. More like the deities like messing with our heads and stringing us along.
