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!)

It surprises me that whoever's rebelling is just keeping it at vandalism. I'd have felt like torching a building.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean, but - I don't know. Maybe it's smarter.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

A party? What, so we can just try and forget what happened?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Not forget, but to... to remind us that there are good things in life.

[concept-killer.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a bunch of punks.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Street punks? Maybe.

[nojerksplz.livejournal.com]

It doesn't sound as if they're doing anything that'll make a difference. Oh, but Rin-san, we can't let things go on like this! Yesterday was horrible.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

No - in any normal situation, we couldn't. But what do we want to do... ?

[lel0uch.livejournal.com]

Perhaps all they desire to accomplish is a sort of outlet... at least, for now.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Probably. I mean, who's dumb enough to just openly revolt?

[finereally.livejournal.com]

Of course death can't be measured. And a violent one, less so.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

And yet, one day later it's as if it never happened. Which... is maybe not altogether bad.

I don't know.

[reginagloriae]

People are rioting, huh?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe. Though I didn't see anything similar anywhere else yet.

[seeking-heat.livejournal.com]

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.

[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.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

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.

[floralities.livejournal.com]

I saw that writing too--

A party?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

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

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

I don't think writing those things will do much.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I don't really think so, either. Seems more like someone was just angry.

[orderonto]

They should be careful, what they're doing. You should be careful not to agree too publicly with such a sentiment.

What's happened is horrible, but if we start going around shaking our fists at gods, they are likely to remind us why we call them such a thing.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Very true, that. Sad as it is.

[ann-withane.livejournal.com]

I would love a party! I think that's exactly what we all need! Can we have ice cream and cake and lemonade and chicken salad and oh, we MUST have flowers! Bowers and bowers of flowers. Do you think someone could conjure a rainbow? Wouldn't that be the most delicious party decoration? Oh I can just imagine it!

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Those are all nice ideas, actually! Except I'm not sure if we can manage the rainbow.

[sleepyseer.livejournal.com]

A colorful sentiment, but I'm hard pressed to disagree with it. Yesterday's curse was too much.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

... someone close to you?

[aibyoukaonigiri.livejournal.com]

Is everything okay...? I'm sorry that you were cursed so bad...

I think with all of the crazy things going on right now, that a party would definitely help raise everyone's spirits. I've been writing down ideas and foods that I think I could help provide.

's okay, I FAIL.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Not me, but rather a friend. I... I hope he'll be okay.

Great! A few people have already agreed to help, like Umi-san and Akane-san.

[directions-plz.livejournal.com]

The City's been a mess recently . . . are you alright, Rin-san?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am fine. I'm just worried about a friend.

the Rin is making him think! >3

[to-turn-away.livejournal.com]

Is she nao? >3
