Obviously, whatever barriers divide the various universes are malfunctioning today. That's the only reasonable explanation for this influx of... strange and enthusiastic people. Caution tells me to stay inside and well away from the chaos, but curiosity--

What is--leave that alone! ...What? No, it won't--no one here even speaks Latin ( Read more... )

Perhaps I'm worrying over nothing, but it seems as if the curses have been unusually benign as of late. That can't be a good thing, can it? From what I've observed, the City tends to get rather quiet immediately before truly cataclysmic catastrophes, and more than one person has mentioned a history of exceptionally horrifying curses occurring ( Read more... )

That was a curse, then?  Riotous.  I wished I knew where the Vatican was and was provided with a map, of all things.  Really, I know where it is... getting there is the problem.  It went considerably worse for others, of course.

It's just as well wishes aren't generally granted.

I've perused the guide.  It doesn't answer anything significant ( ( Read more... )
