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.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

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

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

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

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

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

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

These deities - they seem so almighty that any attempt to go against them may seem hopeless from the beginning. It's more than a little frustrating.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

I hear you there, Rin. It's been nothing but awful and I only just got here. If this helps people vent at least a bit of that frustration, then I don't blame them.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Neither do I, really. I just hope the deities don't care too much about a little paint on the walls.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

I know that! But- I can't see a way to being happy right after this happened.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

They can't expect people to not react to this sort of cruelty. Maybe it'll just amuse them. But I see what you mean. I don't want anyone to be punished for expressing their anger.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

... not really, no.

Maybe a bit later.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Amuse them? Hah, probably!

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

It's nuts. I can't believe we need to worry about what they'd think. They're the ones messing with us...

[concept-killer.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a bunch of punks.

[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]

That's exactly the outrageous part! I want to say "how dare they" - but unfortunately, they can dare very well.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Street punks? Maybe.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

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

[nojerksplz.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I wish...no, it's better that he's not here.

Doing our best around the curses seems to be the only thing to do.

[lel0uch.livejournal.com]

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

1/2

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Nobody should have the right to do this. No matter if they're gods.

2/2

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

But other than that... I think the party's a nice idea.

[finereally.livejournal.com]

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

[reginagloriae]

People are rioting, huh?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Really? You do?

Thanks.
