greetings citizens.

behold: the city speaks! it is a raven that appears in my mind's eye, without a voice and yet with speech all the same. cool cryptid shit. im a superstar prophet now.

do you have any questions you want to ask the city? i'll ask them for you. no lame questions and only one a person! cant waste my new friends time with TRIVIAL mortal concerns.

i can!
it speaks to me. it is my new friend.

[identitycrisiscore]

that so.
is it doing alright, then?
can't imagine the curse did it any favors.

...that's not my one question, though, i hope.

[ Yeah, he's not going to argue this. He's seen weird. He's seen this exact type of weird. ]

[horrifictie]

it is ok.
the cursed harmed it greatly
nearly killed it
im sure it is very thankful for your part in cleansing the curse!

[identitycrisiscore]

trust me, i can relate.
i don't need thanks, though.

[ ...That actually brings a good question to mind. ]

that said, i do have to wonder.
is this the first time something like this has happened to it?
it seemed pretty bad.

[horrifictie]

a good question!
i will ask it.
i do not expect a good answer.
cities are full of pain.
from the outside and within, much like people.

[identitycrisiscore]

i'm not either,
but it's a question worth knowing.
you've done this before, then, talking to cities?
can't say i'm acquainted with the concept.

[horrifictie]

yes
the city i came from spoke to me
she was a young girl. the voice of a child.
nowhere as direct as the bird is!

[identitycrisiscore]

[ ...Huh, that's interesting. ]

a young girl, huh?
that paints a pretty distinct picture.
but not very direct? i guess every city would have its mysteries.
what did you do back home, that meant the city talked to you so much?

[horrifictie]

im a cop!
but i dont think thats why i was chosen
i think it's because im a very cool guy

[identitycrisiscore]

[ Honestly? This guy's a little weird. But... the answers he's giving seem to be on the level. ]

a 'cool guy' who just happens to be able to talk to the city, huh?
not that it isn't useful. but how cool are you, really?
i guess if you've worked in a city all your life, you'd learn its ins and outs.
something like that, maybe.
i don't think i understand it, but it is pretty handy.
if nothing else.

[horrifictie]

im VERY cool
im so cool that im disco and that's as cool as cool can get
stop harshing on my swag

[ (he really hopes that lingo isn't outdated...) ]

[identitycrisiscore]

...disco?
i've never heard that one before.
that mean something specific where you come from?

[ Sorry, Harry. But maybe you can salvage this. ]

[horrifictie]

for fucks sake
why do so many people not know about disco in hell!
am i going to need to educate you all?
it's music!
it's partying!
it's a way of life!

[identitycrisiscore]

never heard of it.
sorry to disappoint.

[ No he isn't. ]

if it's a way of life, i'm sure not understanding what makes it cool.

[horrifictie]

that's because you don't get it.
either you get it or you don't and you clearly don't.
i'm going to need to teach you.
no two ways about it.

i shouldn't be doing tags today but i could not let this one go

[identitycrisiscore]

[ ...What. ]

let me get this straight.
you're going to teach me...
about... 'disco'?

lmao

[horrifictie]

you read right!
you and me?
we're going clubbing

[identitycrisiscore]

[ Oh no. Ohhh no. Oh no no no. ]

why do i get the feeling you won't take no for an answer?

[horrifictie]

because you're a smart lad

[identitycrisiscore]

[ He truly hates it here sometimes. ]

alright.
you get one night to convince me.
you figure out what this 'clubbing' is gonna entail.

[horrifictie]

one night is all i need
be ready when i call on you

[identitycrisiscore]

oh, believe me.
i'll keep my schedule open.
i have to see this to believe it.
