I guess it's one of those days again... I sort of like how this month is being pretty predictable. Not that I expected this, but at least we know how this curse works...

... Though I wonder if any of the people that suddenly come here on days like this actually stay... Or if you could go back with them. Has anyone that came on days like

[While Tyr's walking around, he'd best be careful not to trip over a young man in armour. Who just happens to be sprawled on the ground asleep and attempting to snuggle a fire hydrant.]

Nnngh...Come back, Mr. Soopy...

[stargathering]

[ He won't. A man in armour hugging a fire hydrant is pretty hard to miss even in a crowd. ]

..."Soopy"? [ He kneels down to nudge the guy's shoulder. ] You okay?

1/2

[just_ideal]

[No thanks to...whatever dream he's having, the nudge startles him awake.]

Yaaaa! Begone, foul demo--

[just_ideal]

[Blinkblink. He's a little confused.]

...U-uh...

[stargathering]

[ And Tyr is equally confused. He decides to give some space when he yells. ]

... Good morning. Sleep well like that?

[just_ideal]

[Tyr simply has yet to understand what it's like to be attacked by dragon-shaped pastries in his dreams. But this guy's quick to recover!]

Ah--Why yes, thank you!

[stargathering]

[ It's true, Tyr has yet to know that horror, but he's glad the other guy's back in action! Even if he's a bit confused now. ]

Good to hear. Do you... usually sleep like that? [ Nodding at the fire hydrant. ]

[just_ideal]

[He's nothing if not resilient. Though cue more confusion as he finally takes a look at the fire hydrant.]

I...would have to say no since I've never seen something quite like this. What is it for? [And he finds it very interesting! Peering all around and tapping it curiously.]

[stargathering]

[ Despite passing them several times, Tyr never really bothered to ask! Now he's a bit curious, too, but he'll just take a few steps closer. ]

I'm not sure... I always assumed they were just some sort of statue that they liked to line the streets with...

[just_ideal]

[That's a good enough explanation for Leo, who smacks a palm with his fist.]

Ah, of course! What curious decorations. I wonder if there's a story behind them.

[stargathering]

There might be; there are a lot of them placed regularly... If you're really curious, we could find someone to ask...

[just_ideal]

If it's no trouble at all, I'd certainly like to hear. Oh, where are my manners? I am Leopold Scorpos.

[stargathering]

I'm Tyr McDohl. [ Making moves to go... somewhere. ] Come on, I don't have much else to do today. Let's go see if we can find out.

[just_ideal]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance! [Happily trailing along!] Perhaps I should have asked this earlier, but did the city suddenly transform overnight?

[stargathering]

Transform over... [ You'd think given the fact he was cuddling a fire hydrant, Tyr would have assumed Leo was just visiting. ] ...Not quite. This place just... People end up unintentionally finding themselves here fairly often.

[just_ideal]

[He's an accidental tourist of sorts, though not particularly worried.] Wow, that's a rather romantic idea! It's much like a secret place you can only find when you get lost.
