If the City were to take a moments respite from all of this utter nonsense, it would be greatly appreciated

'Definitive', maybe not.

Option A:

The deities broke something, causing the shift, and are working to fix it while giving us the ability to travel between worlds as a half-hearted apology in the mean time.

Option B:

The deities pretended to break something and are screwing with us for their own amusement.

Somehow, I am much more inclined to believe the latter.

It does seem to be the most likely, though I hope it's the former.

Hoping, with them, is never something I try to do.

Maybe he's just in the other city.

[kievduchess]

Perhaps.

In which case, if his personality is so far altered he did not see fit to report in via network, at least, I would be obliged to fetch him.

Hence my question.

[worldlike]

You'd do that for an employee?

[kievduchess]

He has proven his loyalty.

I could not call myself a noble if I did not reward loyalty with the same.

I always knew you were a woman of initiative, Asta. How charming.

Hypotheses?

1/2

[kievduchess]

Aren't I just.

[kievduchess]

I've heard tell that all of the people returning are coming back around midnight, which works well with our usual curse pattern.

And all have been doing something at that time, not just lazing about I suppose. So I assume there would be something tied to your actions, since they all seem to be... different actions. But actions, nonetheless.

[whofelltoearth]

Are you inferring something about my being lazy, Asta?

Then the answer is that something must be done. I suppose that's better than not knowing and doing nothing. Do we have to do something contrary to our character? ...no, that wouldn't work. So many are already acting contrary to themselves.

The truth is every idea I've had has been absolutely useless, Asta. ♥ Don't cry too hard at my funeral!

[mirka_fortuna]

Oh~ dear, everyone seems to be going missing.

[kievduchess]

This situation... is not advantageous.

[mirka_fortuna]

No, it is not. Ion, Esther, Abel, Carmine and now Basil~. Is everyone~ going to be taken into this other City?

Do you really intend to go after them, Astaroth?

[kievduchess]

If they prove themselves unable or unwilling to remove themselves, and you permit me, Duchess, I would.
