Thirteenth Hand

There are many things about this City that I find far from ideal. My childhood years, while nostalgic, are not something I cared to repeat. I have already lived them, and there is nothing I meant to learn then that I needed to revisit

I feel much the same way. God it was embarrassing.

[fortuna_eterna]

You were cursed as well. How ironic, that they would revert men such as ourselves to such a time.

[meanestbrother]

Gods tend to find stuff like that funny.

[fortuna_eterna]

They must be bored.

[meanestbrother]

I guess being omnipotent gets old fast.

[fortuna_eterna]

I believe it takes the uncertainty out of life, at the very least.

Immortality... in and of itself, cannot be so dull.

[meanestbrother]

I can't fathom how anyone could run out of wonder for the world, but then, I guess I'm mere mortal.

[fortuna_eterna]

I am told we cannot begin to fathom.

[meanestbrother]

Not sure I'd want to.

[fortuna_eterna]

One may go mad.

[meanestbrother]

But I don't want to go among mad people.

[fortuna_eterna]

Hmm?

[meanestbrother]

It's from a book I liked as a kid.

Alice says to the Cheshire Cat, "I don't want to go among mad people."

To which the Cheshire Cat says, "We're all mad here."

Came to mind.

[fortuna_eterna]

I see. You are well read.

[meanestbrother]

I read now and then. My dad's a professor so it really couldn't be helped.

[fortuna_eterna]

A professor? How prestigious.
