It feels like I've had this headache since the dawn of time. I keep swallowing but I can't get rid of that old iron pipe blood taste. I might as well be sucking on a mouthful of pennies

Sounds like you got the answer to your question. Finding anything recognizable yet?

[eight_rules]

To tell you the truth, the more I try to find familiarity the more fucked up this whole place seems. At this point I'm thinking it's probably best to just shut up and accept it.

[makes_you_tick]

Probably. I think about half the people in the City are convinced they're really off in a sanitarium somewhere. But eventually the oddities fade. You'll get used to it.

Did you read up on the curses? Those're fun.

[eight_rules]

Oh I heard about 'em. Rain storms? Bad dreams? That's some real hard knock life shit you're all having to deal with, here.

[makes_you_tick]

I can't believe people are attributing rain to a curse. It's April. It tends to be rainy in a lot of places in April.

Some of them are fun, some of them are terrible, some of them are zombies. They really try to mix it up here. Unfortunately, they're inherently unimaginative.

Shit, my thoughts exactly. I mean, if rain is a curse then what's next? The Barely Perceptible Breeze curse? The Mismatched Sock curse? Give me a break.

Good to know they can get more exciting, though, despite the current mediocrity. I'm liking this place more and more as time goes by.

[makes_you_tick]

Not many people actually look forward to the curses. It does help break up a work week nicely, though. You must come from someplace pretty boring.

[eight_rules]

Boring? You can't even begin to imagine.

I didn't catch your name.
