♔ day 27 ♔

[binarysky]

That curse the other day, with people's heads getting cut off and then just walking around like nothing happened—is that what happens here when people are destroyed? I didn't think anything was supposed to be left behind, but everything was left behind.

I don't think it's bad, but it's strange...I don't know.

[sigh]

Hey, Hanna, I found a store with a lot of ice cream flavors. I bet there's one you haven't had yet.

I think that really depends on one's perspective. There have been curses that have been milder than others, or more amusing that others, or less inclined towards decapitation than others.

For example, there's one that comes around from time to time where everyone tastes like different flavours of ice cream. Of course, one has to taste the other person to find this out, but as curses go it's rather mild.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Like ice cream? That's really weird. Did people go around licking each other?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, yes. Either that, or everyone sat around licking at their own fingertips.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Sounds really boring. And gross.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

But it's far better than the curse of a few days ago, wouldn't you agree?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Much better.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

So, as I said, I don't know that there are many really good curses, there are milder ones. And we all rather hope for those.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Is there a pattern?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I haven't found one as yet, but I do mean to keep looking. I've three years' worth of records of curses, but I haven't yet found any real pattern.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

That's a long time.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Indeed, it is. I rather wish it had been shorter, but I suppose that's the will of the 'deities' to keep me here.

I take it you haven't been here so long as that, have you?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

No. Just 27 days.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

That isn't long at all. I hope it's gone well enough for you.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

It's been...okay.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's all one can hope for in the City.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I hope for my friends to come here.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'd rather hope that you could go back to them.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I hope that, too, but if I can't, I want them to be here too. Is that a bad thing, since they'd be trapped too?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I don't know; I suppose it rather depends on your take on the curses.

But, if you have to be here, it is better to have an acquaintance here. I rather promised myself the same as you: that either I'd go back or they'd come here.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Did they?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

They did, actually.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

That's good. That's really good.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

So it may go either way for you yet.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I hope so. I miss them.
