[[filtered from dieties, doggy, and kitty]]
Considering recent developments, it seemed prudent to post this again. The first half can be seen
HERE. So it seems in exchange for my answer, my name was renewed. (Was King's name not renewed then?) Doumeki's name was also renewed. (What does renewing do?) Apparently the doggy has no beat and collects "trash" according to the deities. (And it's duty is to paint strings.) And someone who has no name "belongs to her" (the kitty?)
Someone's presence is slowing down the city. (Slowing the countdown? Messing it up?) Could be doggy, kitty, or people with no beat. All the 'beats' are in the city.
WARNING! Adrastus seems to be demanding his due if you ask any questions, direct or indirect, even before the answer is given. If you refuse, it's the cat you'll have to pay. (Pay what?) He may also be collecting backpayment on past questions as well. (Adrastus also mentioned demanding payment after six questions asked, so there may be a threshold before payment is due?)
Adrastus' trades are also counting down to May 3rd(ish?) -- 21 days for the first person who bartered their voice away a few days ago, 18 days for the trade yesterday, 17 for a trade today. This coincides with the 'tick 18' from one of the mysterious messages.
[[OOC : Should probably post this now while I have the chance. Riou will be a blue dragon spouting water instead of fire for Name Definition Day and thus without internet access. Feel free to see him in Xanadu, poised atop the deities office, or otherwise careening around the city that day.]]
