[ Another beautiful day in the City. The weather is weathery, there might be birds...

...and there's a cymbal-clapping, sirenish-screeching toy monkey.

On fire.

With one angry god looking down at it. ]

...why won't you shut up already?

[ Clearly, you should bother him. And/or join in abusing said toy monkey. ]

Because they're fuckin' annoyin'.

[heliolatrous]

Yeah, I can tell.

[eiremagic]

Did yeh try hittin' it with a rock?

[heliolatrous]

Not yet. But setting things on fire usually works.

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

Well.

That's one way of trying to stop it.

[Voice]

[heliolatrous]

It didn't work, anyway.

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

I can see that. I suppose that it's not so surprising that something the deities gave us would yield to a match.

[Voice]

[heliolatrous]

I don't need matches to do this.

[sparkling_by]

I think it's asking you the same thing right back.

[heliolatrous]

I wasn't even saying anything when it did this!

[sparkling_by]

It knew.

It can tell the future.

[heliolatrous]

What-- that's not fair!

[existais]

Earmuffs- they can work!

[heliolatrous]

Do I hit it with them until it stops?

[existais]

You put them over your ears. I don't think it could work perfectly, but if they haven't stopped by now...

[heliolatrous]

I'd rather just get rid of it.

[drizzlinginside]

I'm asking the same thing when I woke up this morning. Apparently, freezing them doesn't work either.

[heliolatrous]

I can't do that anyway. But if nothing works, how am I supposed to make it leave me alone?

[ ...the attempted solution is to make it be more on fire. ]

[drizzlinginside]

You can just cover your ears while it's around? If this is a curse, it shouldn't last for more than a day or two.

[heliolatrous]

I don't even want to deal with a day of this, it's more annoying than Poseidon!
