[ fuck-- ]

kamui im sorry!
please unblock me.

[metafictions]

As long as you ask the city my question. 😄

[horrifictie]

yes yes i will ask.
i dont think the raven knows what porn is anyway
or it likely does not care

[metafictions]

[Wait. Did he believe the fake block? He's not going to correct Harry.]

This is a city of vice. It might. Not that I want you to use my question on that.

[horrifictie]

yes but it is also a bird.
birds are flighty things!
the raven told me they don't know how the lost souls all came here or why.

[metafictions]

So it's a mystery to the city itself, huh? I should have known it wouldn't be so easy... it was worth asking anyway.

[horrifictie]

cities in my experience are not omnipotent
they are their own entity and world spirit concentrated within the area they stretch out to.
the breeze against the trees
the rain that falls from the sky
the shivers crawling up your skin

[metafictions]

[Makes him wonder what the 25th Ward might sound like.]

Could you always hear the city in this way? Any city, even?

[horrifictie]

dont know about *any* city.
i've only been in two cities in my entire life!
but i could hear revachol and now i can hear jigoku-cho

[metafictions]

Right, because you lost your memory...

This is a question for you, not the raven. Does the city seem trustworthy with its answers? Then again, can a city really have the kind of agenda necessary to mislead anyone?

[horrifictie]

i trust it!
maybe it could be lying but i like to believe in people.
which, from experience, is not a great mindset to have as a cop.
but that's ok.

[metafictions]

You're at least a better cop than a lot I've met in the time I've been a detective.

[Which isn't long, but still.]

Besides, it's technically a bird and a spirit, not a person.

[horrifictie]

that is true!
i like birds :)

[metafictions]

Birds are pretty cool. :)

I'll leave you and your new friend to everyone else's questions. Good luck to you both.
