Is it true? That Kurai is in the City?

...Thank you, my lady.

Truly.

As you are no doubt aware; you have my aid and support in whatever capacity I may fulfill.

V. I'm finally doing what I should have done since the very moment I arrived to the City.

You are excellent in motivating the citizens to fight and broadcasting information. The first step, subjects 2 & 3, would be a fine next transmission.

Give me a day to gather the necessary equipment and it shall be done.

You have time.

But remember the days are counted, V.

Do what one always does?

One can do that. ♥

I thought as much.

A fighting tournament will cause you more damage than good, you know. That, and there's too many guys in this place that we have no idea what they're capable with, so even if that tournament pushed through, someone might snap and mess the whole thing up by doing something stupid or nasty, or both.

You'll have more luck with Hatter on this, Alex.

That would only happen if it's out of control and within the City. But to set ground rules and a good arena, those new islands, for instance? Would make a perfect healthy competitive environment.

If the City gains it's power from us, then does that mean plotting like this is given it power? I guess that means we don't have much time. Hmm...

I'm not sure if you can call those deity things puppets though. They enjoy what they do, so they must have some sense of self. It makes me so mad! They say they're just created for one purpose and it's not their place to question what's happening, but they obviously do have thoughts and feelings of their own! It's not right. I've met guys who were created for one purpose, and they had a lot more courage and conviction than these stupid 'gods'!

I don't get it. That other guy tried to stop the clock before, when I wasn't in the City yet, and they just set it back to where it should have been, right? Shouldn't we just try to destroy the clock altogether? Damage the mechanism somehow?

We are fuel for the City but doesn't mean all we do is food for the countdown.

For what I could observe, their answers and their emotions are indeed limited to their purposes. They are indeed puppets following a script, if we widen them, if we give them a real self awareness (not the pretense of it), we could have better results.

We must avoid damage to the clock until we find out more about it. That's step number 2.

I know you're right, but it's so frustrating! The longer we're here trying to figure this out, more people are getting trapped and hurt by the curses. And we don't even have any leads! No one's going to tell us anything about the carousel, and just watching it isn't going to make any difference. I hate this!

Man...

It is very frustrating but we must fare the best we can to solve the problem.

[againstgod]

I direct you to the Mad Hatter to organize the details. It's that being's speciality.

[ex_janvalent852]

If she's interested I'm not hard to find.

Hatter isn't a...

Forget it.
