♔ day 27 ♔

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.

Much better.

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.
