Will someone please explain just what the hell is going on here?

I'm hearing talk of the Countdown coming to a close and the End again; and honestly, we've made it this far through all those damn curses and kidnappings - I don't think a little stop to the tick-tocking can bring it to a close! As if a little doomsday is going to stop us from

If I could explain what's going on, I would. Why that sick, lying, cruel...why it had to be him who came here...

Have you seen anyone new from your world show up?

[captainshort]

From my world? No, not that I've noticed or seen. And even if I did... that's not too unusual, is it? People come and go from this place all the time.

[ever_evey]

They do, but...it's been suggested that they're not real. Tricks of the City or something--I'm not sure exactly, but I hope it's true.

The 'new arrivals,' you mean? Illusions of the City? Even if they are - why? If it's a curse day, then they've done an excellent job on spreading panic. D'Arvit!

Ignore the illusions. The general rule of the City seems to be, if newcomers aren't confused, angry, sad, or in general disturbed by their sudden and quite random change of location, and they're babbling nonsense about how all worlds have ended, they're only City illusions.

Rubedo is back and claims that our world is fine. Surely yours is too. Now everyone can get over all this.
