In all the time I've been here, yesterday's curse was maybe the most awful thing that has happened yet. Being married to one's worst enemy is one thing, but that innocents, children as adults, have to know death for a day? That's a gross injustice. Now, we can be glad that it was only a day, certainly - but can you measure death? Isn't a day enough, or rather, isn't a day too much? This isn't something that should happen at all, and it's appalling that it does and is to be expected here.

When I went to Huey-kun's today, I saw words scribbled on the walls near aparment building number one. Two sentences: one was written neatly, like a small work of art, almost, and said "Down with the establishment!". The most curious thing about this would perhaps be that it was written in the Japanese spelling of my time. The other was all but smuddled there and I half had to guess what it said, but it was this: "Fuck you, deities". Looks like some rebellious spirits have been stirred by these curses. It would be a wonder if not. Still, the question is what this would accomplish - probably a punishment for the perpetrator, should the deities be especially miffed by having their walls painted on.

Well! This reminds me - Honda Tohru-san and I have talked, and we thought it might be a good idea to have a party. A feel-good party for everyone who wants a little cheer-up after a curse like this. What does everyone think?

(OOC: Plot is a go! Also, heads up that I might end up backdating a bit, as I will be away over the weekend!)

And that would be the problem - is the risk too high?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Ah, nothing! Just thinking out loud. Or something.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Okay, I will! I'll tell Tohru-san about the people who are interested.

I know what you mean. On a measuring scale of 100, yesterday's curse would push it to over one thousand. Their main purpose is to provide entertainment for them. I understand, yet---I've had enough!

Japanese of her time--then perhaps from the ancient wars. And resorting to vandalism to piss off the Deities--all that would accomplish is angering the residents of said building.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Great. I'm sure it'll be nice. We should at least try to get over it. Even if we can't accept it...

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I hope it will be success.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

That's about right. Like puppets on strings - nothing more! But all the while we think and feel and suffer.

At least someone could vent their anger.

I barely remember yesterday... is that what happened?

audio;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yes - several people were murdered, among them a child scarcely older than ten.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Eustace as well... but he seems in no worse spirit than before.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Really? Then he's exceptionally fortunate, I think - though certainly, I can't speak for the victims, not having been one myself.

[seeking-heat.livejournal.com]

Personally, I'm more surprised any kind of action against them has taken this long. Not that I've been around that long; this would be my 3rd month in this Hell. The more cautious side of me questions how the Deities would retaliate at such a movement, but the impatient part thinks it's about damn time!

[floralities.livejournal.com]

I saw that writing too--

A party?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

That's about how I feel. Then again, seeing their power...

audio;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It all seemed a bit... muddled. But after the fact I think if someone who was a victim can stand up and still smile then all isn't lost.

Although Eustace grimaces more than smiles on his own as is...

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yes. To remind us of the good things in life. Something like that.

audio;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think - I hope that's the case.

Grimaces?

[floralities.livejournal.com]

It's good to know that some people can still do that here.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Hah, yes... though really, it's almost becoming a question of necessity.

[floralities.livejournal.com]

Why, how long have you been here?

audio;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[ oh have a bit of a laugh now ]

It is when he contorts his face in some sort of contemptuous disgust... I liken it to squeezing a lemon.

[seeking-heat.livejournal.com]

Tch. I don't care anymore. After what they did to Nii-san, I could care less about what happens to me! They can tear me to shreds for all I care, but I will not. BE. IGNORED!

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Only about three months, but that's enough.

audio;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Doesn't sound like too cheerful a fellow.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Oh, right... he -- he was a victim yesterday, wasn't he?
