Warden elections, huh? So that's democracy in execution. Or at least a pretention thereof. We know they're humoring us, right? Right. Well, let them have their fun. I'd even vote, but given that I have only spoken to Nakamura-san on one occasion and never to Seiei-san, I don't think I can play the game right.

Also, the... graffiti just kept coming. Yesterday I saw them in the square. Really, is that all they can come up with? I can do better than that!

Now, for that, dear fellow citizens, and this is maybe not the best moment - but I'm tired of sitting around. I want to get something done. Anyone else feel the same way, per chance? No?

... anyway.

PATTERNS.

Tell me about them. Any and all. Of what, you ask? Of the City! In topics such as

- exits
- population
- deity appearances
- curses

What have you! If you can think of something, I want to know it. Not only numbers, also details. Whatever. I've been aimlessly theorizing around for a while now, but without some material to work with, I won't be getting anywhere, now will I? And before you tell me that the deities will see the big font - well, no way to make sure that they can't hear us when we talk face to face, right? They might watch us sleep and bathe, for all we know! And, really, like their little experimental subjects - or, alternately, sources of amusement - can do anything at all.

So. Do tell.

(OOC: Fire Monkey, lol. Basically, she'll be extra smartass and ambitious today. EDIT: Sorry guys for dropping tags. ;-; Got tired early and stuff.)

You've talked to me, and I can vouch for Setsuna.

Sorry, I guess I'm not being very useful. I don't really pick up on these pattern things.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, see, but if you're his friend, you're probably biased.

Ah, well. Thanks for trying, anyway.

[floralities.livejournal.com]

Hm~ patterns, huh?

Is it just me, or does it seem like all the new people come at once?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

That's true! Something that's been taken note of before. Every one or two weeks, right?

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

At least someone else realizes that the elections are a farce. While it would be possible to accomplish things as warden, true change will happen with or without a deity-sanctioned political position.

As far as patterns go, I would guess that any apparent patterns are either accidental or subject to change at the deities' whims.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I like to think I've got my head in the right place. And I do agree with you.

... probably, but as long as there's a chance, one's got to use it!

[concept-killer.livejournal.com]

I just voted for whoever because it doesn't matter in the end.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I don't know if that's actually better or worse than not voting.

[seeking-heat.livejournal.com]

Hmpf. It hardly matters who is elected. Winning a position in what is essentially a puppet government hardly accomplishes anything.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Well, at least it would give us some kind of order amongst ourselves. Humans need that sometimes.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

I'd be glad to vote if someone actually explained the whole point to me. It's so ridiculous.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Pretty. Much.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Is there a reason you're interested in these patterns?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Of course. Not like people do anything without a reason, even if the reason is "no reason".

I've spoken with both to know each approaches. I'm worried Hiro's going to be too soft while Setsuna... uh, well soft isn't the word for it.

[reginagloriae]

Huh? Patterns?

[reginagloriae]

We can pay attention or track old entries?

[mister12bladez.livejournal.com]

The hell you wanna know all this shit for?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

To eventually make use of this knowledge! Don't you want to get back to Edo?

I will not ask you to vote, because I think that not voting is also making a statement, and if you do not feel that you can make a good one, that is your right.

But... I think that the position can still be important. The Warden cannot control everything, and the police force cannot control everything-- curses happen all the time, deities... well, they have a lot of power. But does that mean that the police force is useless?

They have captured many berry dangerous people. Curse will always exist, but give that you know that they will exist, shouldn't someone still try to make the most of what they are able to?

That is what I want to do.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

That's a very noble goal, indeed. However, quite a few incidents have happened over the past months. What will you do about that?

[denyinurgod.livejournal.com]

Nevertheless, the graffiti. Do you agree with it?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I suppose I do.

What? Huh, WHAT?
