Now, I should hope no one's panicking about the epidemic illness and that unpleasant people-turning-into-stone business. The sickness--as varied as it is--is undoubtedly yet another curse, and it will resolve itself in time. I would recommend accepting the deities' cure only if you're prepared to experience a potentially unpleasant side-effect.

A gargoyle?

[somekindofsin]

You mean "gorgon," don't you?

[compactcrucifix]

...Yep.

[somekindofsin]

You don't have any idea at all, do you.

Most logical thing I've heard all day.

[somekindofsin]

Well, thank you. I'm glad at least someone here can appreciate reason.

[theotokos]

But it's true. We'll be acting like we've forgotten about it by next week.

That's the way of the City, isn't it? There's utter chaos when the least of things happens, and no one manages to learn that curses only last so long or that malevolent citizens are eventually stopped.

I've seen petrification magic.

[somekindofsin]

Oh? Have you seen it used within the City?

[teamaniac]

No but I know how it works.

You haven't turned anyone into stone lately, have you?
