☤ thirty-eight

[as_damaged]

It occurred to me recently that it's almost a year since that monster attacked; which means I've been here over a year. I suppose the date was some time in February; I didn't do anything to commemorate it, or even think about it too much until now.

It's strange though, to think about the passage of time here-- the thought that all of this experience will simply disappear, eventually, when we're allowed to leave. How we choose to lead our lives here is only relevant as long as we remain. I wonder how different I am now from the person I'll be in a year of real time.

Questions without answers, really.

I said it the other day, I know, but-- given that I was cursed... Thank you, again.

It sounds ridiculous, I know. It managed to break down my door, though.

Was it a curse or something that someone else spun into existence?

My understanding is, it was due to the interference of the beings to whom the deities answer.

Gods versus gods. That always goes well. It hasn't happened again since then?

If you believe in their divinity, I suppose you could call it that.

After a while the hair lost its animation and became... well, a dead mass of hair. It took some time to clean up but it wasn't dangerous.

I don't necessarily believe in their divinity so much as being unable to deny the fact that they're sitting above us and playing chess with our lives. They're power players of some kind, at the very least.

More of a nuisance, then.

My understanding is, the whole business had some ties to an earlier decree they'd made. That was before I arrived here, however, so you'd need to ask someone who's been here longer than I have.

It was terrifying at the time-- though I think I'd be better equipped to deal with it now, after a year of the City's highs and lows. Both psychologically and practically.
