This is a curse, isn't it?

Of course.  It has to be.  Murder doesn't happen this often, not even in relatively violent places like this.  Since it's a curse it will be over with by midnight, everyone will be alive, and we won't have to worry about being stabbed in the back if we leave our apartments.  There aren't that many murderers in the City

This is indeed a curse with sloppy crimes and ax-wielding lunatics.

Oh, thank God.

Not that that's good, exactly, but I would prefer to think that this is all induced by a curse rather than indicative of the moral depravity of this City's citizens.

We should thank these "gods" for the small mercies?

[somekindofsin]

I wasn't thanking them.

[steeldame]

I was being facetious.

My apologies. I'm afraid my sense of humour is somewhat strained at the moment.
