Those..things yesterday--why the hell did the City let something like that loose? N-not that they were scary or anything. They weren't so tough against a few fireballs...I think we might need to replace a couple things in the house...

[The last part is muttered, but audible. Rita knows she's probably in for an earful for using magic in the house again.]

Did everyone else make it through all right? Euphie, Natalia?

[OOC: Whether or not she blew up anything major (appliances, walls, etc) can be left up to housemates. Otherwise, it'll just be a couple small things like a light or a window.]

Thankfully it was nothing I couldn't handle. Still, how very annoying!

Have fun when Leon yells at you about no artes in the house.

[an-alkahest.livejournal.com]

Playing with fire, hmmm?

Well, isn't that too frightening.

[sciencedaughter.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, "why" is a question not likely to be answered.

Those creatures have appeared before.

[blastiafreak]

Going from a couple messages on the network, those things are actually from somebody's home world. What a pain it'd be to deal with that all the time!

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, I know. He can yell all he wants--it was still better than just staring at them all day.

[blastiafreak]

It's smarter than getting close to those things or having a staring contest all day.

A few scorch marks won't kill anyone.

[imperialwill.livejournal.com]

Goodness! Yes, that must certainly become an annoyance after some time. They are quite aggressive creatures - sneaky, as well.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

You guys really get along, don't you?

[blastiafreak]

I know--and I hate that about the City! Everything is guesses and rumours.

So it was the same story when they appeared last time?

[blastiafreak]

No kidding. We were safe after midnight, but if you had them around all the time, there'd always have to be someone standing guard, especially at night.

[sciencedaughter.livejournal.com]

It is frustrating for those who prefer answers to questions.

- Yes. Of course, I cannot personally vouch for their powers effects, but they seem to hold approximately the same abilities and range of appearances. The lack of power, as well.

[blastiafreak]

How about a new observation?

[blastiafreak]

Of course, the only way you could really measure it would be to let them touch either you or someone else. Not exactly something anyone's going to volunteer for.

The City must like them, though, if they brought them back. It does lend support to the theory that the clock runs off of chaos and our emotions.

[sciencedaughter.livejournal.com]

Precisely. While I am "dead"- that does not make the experience any more pleasurable.

That theory, indeed, has always seemed the most likely to me. Second being that this is all simply a game for some superior being or beings.

[blastiafreak]

Oh, uh--Being dead isn't exactly going to protect you from what they might do, is it?

Those both sound pretty likely with the way the City and the deities like to jerk us around. Trying to kill us one day, then giving us cake another.

[sciencedaughter.livejournal.com]

It technically would mean I have "little to lose", but. You are correct.

Such is the nature of this place. I have experienced it for nearly four years now.

[blastiafreak]

Seriously? You've had to put up with this for a long time...

Do a lot of the curses repeat like this one did?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

Those things have been here before. Master called then... Weeping Angels, I believe.

[sciencedaughter.livejournal.com]

3 years, 9 months, 29 days, approximately.

Several have been known to do so- though I would say for every curse that does repeat, there are many more that do not. There are certain days, however, when many of the same curses are liable to repeat at seemingly random rates.

[deadly_legacy]

I was okay, Rita. Billy helped me. Were you all right? Something happened to your house?

[swordmastering.livejournal.com]

I told you not to use artes in the house!

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Then how about you guys are actually more similar than you think?

[imperialwill.livejournal.com]

It sounds quite inconvenient indeed. I do wonder how the natives function normally with such a looming threat.

[an-alkahest.livejournal.com]

As long as you don't burn your fingertips!
