It's sort of unnerving to lose time like that. I swear I was only gone for a day but apparently I was gone for several. I don't like that at all. At least I got to see En.Speaking of time... Is it true that the clock in the Underground is counting down the days until "the end of all worlds"? 'Cause I don't really like the way that

I've heard rumors about that before, but I don't know how true they are. I don't think anyone really knows much about the clock outside of the deities. Mostly just theories...

You left the city or something? Welcome back.

[kirinofen]

Has it ever stopped before?

Or something. But thanks!

Everything okay...?

[guardianhime]

It did stop once before. It was within the last year...but...it started again. If it was meant as a doomsday device, I would have thought it would have done something already beyond drive us insane with the ticking.

I wouldn't want to underestimate it though, either.

Y-Yeah, no worries. Just... the same old problems. Being homesick and all. Seeing En was nice but it just reminded me how much I miss it.

[kirinofen]

Did anything happen when it stopped?

And I guess that's a good point. I get a bad feeling from it but maybe calling it a doomsday device is jumping to conclusions. It has to do something though.

[guardianhime]

...

It was a pretty...bad week. Everyone in the city...ended up turning into zombies...

There was no ticking for the entire time. Every single clock in the city stopped working.

[kirinofen]

Zombies?

[guardianhime]

It's not one that I really...like to remember...

People's flesh began to rot, and their minds to disintegrate. People began eating their friends alive...and even just a scratch or a small bite was enough to infect the victim and turn them, too, into a monster that desired living flesh.

It was complete chaos and panic...probably the worst thing I've ever seen or experienced here in the city.

[And this is probably the most horrifying thing he's ever heard. As a creature whose being is focused on preservation of life and hatred for blood and violence, it is understandable that there is a longed stunned silence. ironic icon keywords are ironic]

[kirinofen]

[Then he finds his voice after a moment.] I-I'm sorry... you went through it...

[trappedinresin]

Ahaha...it's fine. It's all in the past... I still want to get sick, thinking about that animal...

2/2 lol! Icon keywords can sometimes be the best

[guardianhime]

It's just another reason we need to find a way to protect ourselves from the deities and some of the awful curses that have befallen this place.

[kirinofen]

But still... It's unpleasant just hearing about it. I can't imagine actually being there for it.

2/2 yus they are a lot of fun~ 8D

[kirinofen]

You're right about that. I always see the curses as annoyances but mostly harmless. I forget that some of them aren't so gentle.

Yuuki, do you know Umi by any chance?

[guardianhime]

I've spoken to her once or twice. I don't know her personally very well, but I've definitely seen her around.
