Can I do anything for you?

[starchilde_lost]

I appreciate the offer, Shahrazad, but not really - it's just another bad memory to contend with.

I think I'd be better, but it's just so much to deal with in the short time I've been here.

Are you...OK? I know you were upset during "Detective Night."

[mercifulsun]

If you ever need someone to just listen to you, Rachel.

It's difficult to understand... How did the dead returned to life? How were those people force to kill?

[starchilde_lost]

The curses vary, apparently, and they're all powerful. I figure it's like this: did you ever have dolls when you were little? You could make them do whatever you want, and then pretend it never happened so you could do different things the nest day?

We're the dolls. We just get played with over and over again - and if we tear or break...the Deities just stitch us back up.

[mercifulsun]

I didn't like dolls or pets, I liked to associate with people since I was a child.

But I understand what are you trying to say and the thought disturbs me.

[starchilde_lost]

..yeah, sorry 'bout that. It's really not a great thing to have stuck in your head - but I've known people like that, who run people like they're...nothing, like they're entertainment.

This feels like that, on these curse days.

[mercifulsun]

Maybe- Maybe we could find a way to keep others from hurting.

There has to be a way!

I think...I mean I'm beginning to think...that maybe that's what the Network is for?

I dunno, the Network's half the problem, so that's probably not right.

[mercifulsun]

Or not.

We could take advantage of this Network and assist those people who are show in distress.

I think most people try - at the very least to take their minds off their own problems.
