[ There is a loud crash and a tinkle of what seems to be glass. Something red trickles down the wall along with the shards of broken glass from what was once a wineglass

...A lot of people have left, yeah.

Thanks for not going on a rampage through the city, 'tho.

[xblood_lusting]

Rampage?

[ Nono, he's got his emotions in check better than that. ]

Tell me, then... apart from the obvious, who else has left? It seems the city's different from when I last laid eyes on it.

There were a lot of people... I know one of the Pokemon trainers left, and some of the trolls like Vriska, Tavros, and Nepeta. I think I remember the names 'Celestia' and 'Crona' also being taken off.

[xblood_lusting]

I see...

[ So far, no one else he's really taken note of. Still considering this, he settles back down into one of the nearby chairs. ]

And as usual, more people have been drawn into the city to make up for those who have left?

voice;

[prominence_glow]

Of course.

Plenty of new people. Just look at all the new names.

[xblood_lusting]

Hm... yes. I should take a closer inspection of the updated list sometime.

[ There is a slight frown. Okay. Yeah. Composing self now. ]

I must apologize for that sudden outburst earlier. It was... uncalled for.

Hey, you didn't go on a rampage. I'm fine with it.

I mean, I've known plenty of people who've gone through rampages after losing someone important.

I had no intention of doing so.

[ Actually, he did but that wineglass was enough. ]

At the rate this city takes away those important to us, I'm amazed it's still standing.

Well, it has a lot of ways to keep itself running, apparently. Like when all the new people were introduced after the dinosaur thing.

[ Just a sec as the doc gets up to grab a first aid kit and wipe his hands. The SFC remains on a table as he speaks. ]

Have you noticed, Lea? The newcomers seem to arrive in batches. However, more predictable than these so called curses.

[ He sits back down and tends to his hand. Sanitizer, quick dab of medicine then bandages. But he continues speaking. ]

They come, almost at a random amount... then it all -ah- stops. Weeks pass and another set comes in.

[prominence_glow]

Yeah, I noticed. I think you and me talked about it once. There's a pattern, but we dunno why it's like that. Could be a good time, could be whatever does it needs a rest. Could be for no reason at all.

[He watches the whole process carefully, both to watch how healing someone without magic goes and to make sure everything turns out alright.]

[ He manages to bandage his arm right, checking to see that the gauze is properly secure before speaking up. ]

But what if those moments where it is unable to bring others in is a sign of weakness... a lull in its power...
