It's an E.

I don't know why, and I don't really care.

Excruciating?

[as_damaged]

That certainly sounds like something the City would say.

[thenormalsquint]

Something I'd say too. Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not. Consider it.

[as_damaged]

Oh don't I know it. I'm not sure it matters what it means. I'm sure it's meant to be some sort of insult.

[thenormalsquint]

Eremitic is another one.

[as_damaged]

I don't think it's that insulting.

[thenormalsquint]

Only if you're really a hermit.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Because it's useful.

[as_damaged]

I don't see how.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

E? Most used letter in the english language. But I've got a better scrabble score.

[as_damaged]

It's not spelling anything on my lab coat. You're cursed, too?

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Not much of a curse.

[as_damaged]

Mildly annoying at most.

What'd you get?

[rockstar-otouto.livejournal.com]

I got an E too!

[as_damaged]

Any idea why?

[rockstar-otouto.livejournal.com]

Nope. Maybe it stands for a word that describes us?

[as_damaged]

That seems to be the idea, though there's no guarantee they'd indicate the same world. I can't think of any outstanding E-words that suit me, honestly.

[rockstar-otouto.livejournal.com]

Apparently it's supposed to be somethin' bad.

[as_damaged]

That makes sense, given the probable inspiration behind the curse.

[dr_conscience]

Just the City's way of showing it cares.

[as_damaged]

Same old, same old.

I guess it's better than last February.

[dr_conscience]

I tend to agree.

As far as this particular event goes... I can't say any supposedly moral judgement really carries much weight coming from the deities.

[as_damaged]

Considering what they inflict on us on a regular basis? You're right, it doesn't.

[dr_conscience]

The only way anything the letter could stand for matters is if it's something that you, personally, think is an issue with yourself. And if that's the case, then it isn't anyone's business but your own. Not theirs, and certainly not the Network's.

[as_damaged]

I agree. I wouldn't have said anything, if I'd been able to avoid it... but curses are curses.
