As I am sure you are aware, young one, the sun does not entirely touch our city. For that reason, it is difficult to assign hours to such a thing--but when the city grows darker, I ask that you please remain indoors.
I am sorry for such inconvenience, little one. As I stated, it shall not be a permanent arrangement--I must simply ask for your cooperation in this for a time, for your own safety.
I would appreciate hearing what intended benefit a curfew is intended to carry. Are there guards patrolling the city that I have not noticed, who have requested to work only limited hours?
But one concern I should raise is that a number of your "guests" here are naturally nocturnal, and will undoubtedly experience difficulties remaining awake, healthy and happy during the day. Even if the coral is rejuvenating, adjusting one's schedule on short notice can be difficult.
[Something about this reminds Kanaya of the various videos put out in support of the Empress and her rule back on Alternia. But there's no references to culling the weak and useless, or drones to enforce the current system, or anything. What's the similarity...?]
Given that in the previous several weeks no curfew was deemed necessary for our safety, something has changed.
Now I can promise you, a large number of the "foreigners" here are reckless. Providing rules for our own safety with no explanation behind them will simply provoke them into testing what the danger is. If you want even the majority of us to follow this curfew, it is in your best interests to explain why it is now in place.
Ah...it seems as though you have been through difficult times. I am truly sorry for all that you have been through. This is a measure in response to an issue I believe has now become a problem. It will be for the better of everyone if this curfew is followed.
[Dammit, Thalassino, why are you nice. Lea can't want to punch you in the face if you're nice.]
So what's the problem exactly? Because you know that there are tons of people out here who are going to go out and find out for themselves if you don't tell 'em.

It is truly the least I could do for what you bring to our city. Thank you for your willingness and understanding.

I am aware of this difficulty, and truly all I can offer is my sincerest of apologies.
[Well she does look regretful.]
I am aware it will be difficult for a time, but I must ask for your assistance for a time in keeping this curfew in place and functional.

Oh wait.
Anyway, why exactly is there a curfew now of all times? What's the deal?

And...oh dear. A hesitant pause, and she looks concerned.]
Do you truly believe they will? Oh dear...that had not been my intention at all with this announcement.
I cannot say because I am not sure, however. I only know that it is no longer safe.

I assure you, however, that there is a purpose to what I ask.

That is not precisely the problem, though I am afraid I cannot say with any certainty...
[She trails off, expression concerned, and looks away for a moment, shaking her head.]
All I know is that something has assailed this city, but with the Great Lamufao's assistance, we shall get through this dark spell.
