Well, the reason I ask is because I have the notion that the City is actually rather complex in its mechanisms and the deities are the only ones here who know how to it works. The idea of overpowering them seems laughable rather far off to me, but even if we did we would then still need to learn how things work and who knows what would happen in the meantime while we're still figuring things out?
The best case scenario is that taking them out would do nothing more than grant us access to the City's inner workings, but it seems to me that there would be easier ways to do that than to stage an all-out uprising. It is my experience that brute force applied to any of the City's mechanisms results in pain and little else. I wouldn't expect the deities themselves to be any different.
Besides which, I don't really think of them as our real enemies, anyway.

Really? Like the whole the dead-returns-to-life in the City? But they weren't, were they? This is just an ongoing assumption, likely or not, is just an assumption to hold them as the people who send curses. It's risky to attack under the basis of assumptions without evidence on our side or information about their weakness.

That's why we need to get some sort of intel... thing... going before anything happens! If the freaks aren't behind the curses then there must be a way to find out what on earth is causing them. And we won't learn anything sitting idle.
I don't think acceptance is appropriate, of course; I do, however, think that we need to be creative. Open rebellion would likely be disastrous.
At the very least, please limit what you say on the subject on the network. I suspect the deities can read absolutely everything, regardless of the privacy codes put in place.
I bothered throwing all those filters there. I'm CERTAINLY not talking about something open! Though... if you ask me how I feel right now, I'd say I could grab my sword and just... do something... very stupid.
I was just thinking about that. Meetings are probably the best way to discuss this sort of thing.

What do you intend to do after they've been defeated?

That'd be finding a way home, I guess. I haven't thought so far. Not until I see what can be done.

Things just... happened all at once, like they do in this dumb place.
[ooc: Also, IDK what plot it is you're talking about in Hikaru's entry, but should I keep Umi out of it? :x;;]
