A cursed City and an... uncursed City?

This is a strange situation. I guess I can do naught but do my usual patrols and help where I can. At least it is not one of the more hugely damaging curses, though some of the personality changes of those in the cursed City are rather unsettling, to say the least. Makes me very glad indeed I was not one of the cursed this time...

This one is curious about whether messages pass between the two, and you are outside. Let it know if you can see this comment?

Unsettling? In what way~? ♥

I can certainly see it...

Amanda-san? The way you refer to yourself... hmm. Well, many are very out of character... for example, the good acting with a wicked streak, the chaste acting in a promiscuous manner, those who hated alcohol now drinking it as if addicted. It is quite disturbing, in many cases.

Hm. Good.

Yes, it is Amanda. You are not the first to mention the way this one refers to itself like that is of note. Share your reasoning with this one?

Interesting. ♥ But isn’t that the way mirrors are supposed to work? Think of one city as inside a mirror and the other on the outside, and the pieces fit.

There are a few things, but mostly is your way of referring to yourself as 'it.' Most would use 'I' and 'me' when talking about themselves.

For example, you said 'it is Amanda.' People expect 'I am Amanda.'

'It' is usually to refer to objects, not living beings...

Perhaps you are correct. A mirror world, then, and those trapped there are reflected so that they are 'reversed' in some manner.

“I” and “me” do not read as well, this one thinks. Also, it has heard that only humans use those two words and does not feel it needs to use a speech pattern that suggests it is not what it is. Why lie or imply a lie about what one is proud of?

Of course~ But who is the mirror and who is the mirrored? To me, you are in the mirror. ♥

Only humans? You are not human, Amanda-san? So that is what has changed for you.

I am pretty sure I am not in the mirror. I am still me, as much I ever was, and I can see my beloved and I know she has not changed. On your side, there are many I know who are acting very different. But perhaps there is no true way of knowing for sure.

Hahaha~♥ This one is not; this one is a monster. You sound so surprised that it is not— This one wonders why…

It could say the same thing about how it feels about itself. Your side has people who ask funny questions, though.

In my memories, you are a human, most definitely a human, whom I have known quite a while though much of that time you forgot.

Funny questions? Like what, Amanda-san?
[info]electronicly wrote:

This one does not understand how it would be possible to know this one and believe it is a human, but it does know it has seen you before.

“You are not human, Amanda-san?” is an example of one that could be seen without even having to leave the current page.

Such, perhaps, is the nature of how the City works, especially right now.

To me, it is not a funny question, because my memories show me you as a human. From your perspective, though, I guess it is one.

This’s a good show at least. This one does not like to be bored.

It would not know your memories, so maybe~

So it has been confirmed at least three times already that there is some cursed other world.

I'm elated to know that I and my companions have not gone crazy.

I don't like the idea of not being able to do anything about it, though.
[info]silk_in_ebony wrote:
May. 12th, 2008 06:54 pm (UTC)
Indeed. There is no question that such is the case. So no, definitely not crazy. And that post by one of the deities earlier...

Same... there must be a way. All the strange things happening to those on the other side... there must be some kind of way of getting those trapped there back here.

Yes, yes. I'm quite eager to find out how. One of my more laid-back Captains is stuck there. It seems he just wants to wait it out.

But I have an itch and I must scratch it, so to speak.

Thank goodness you are not there.
[info]silk_in_ebony wrote:

Perhaps waiting will revert things to normal eventually, but I cannot simply depend on that happening.

I understand.

Same for you. I am most grateful for that: the 'mirror' City seems to reverse aspects of a person. It troubles me to think of what it might have done to myself.

Yes. Any action you decide to take, please let me know. I'd like to be at your side doing my own part should anything rise in opposition. Presently I'm trying to figure out if there is a way in.

Does it?! That would explain why an associate of mine isn't like herself. Thank you, Mitsuhide-san.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!!!! THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE HERE!!!! OH THE PAIN OF LOSING SUCH GOOD LOOKS IN THE WORLD HURTS MY SOUL.

I shall be certain to do so, Yumichika-san. And in return, if you find a way, do let me know so I might assist there as I can.

Indeed. All kinds of reversals are in effect. No thanks are needed.

...it might have messed up my hair... oh heavens... that would be unbearable...


[ooc: I am laughing so so hard right now. XD]

Affirmative.

Terribly unbearable... Quick, let's not think of it! Think of beautiful, comforting things like me!

Thank you.

It is indeed not a thought to dwell on. I shall be certain to sweep it from my mind!


[ooc: I made that one all by myself for such occasions. xD One curse day, I will find an excuse for him to go bald. He won't leave his room... or come out from under the covers for that matter. :D]

Mitsuhide, my love, is everything alright where you are?

This curse is strange and worrying . . .

It is, Megumi, though I am keepng my patrols up. There are far less people on the streets... perhaps as much as half of the population here seems gone to the 'mirror' City.

I see . . .

It is so eerie that we can speak to the people who have been sent to this other "version" of the City and yet we don't know where they are, or how to find them . . . but at the same time, it is better than having no communication at all . . .

Though the people I've spoken to in this "mirror" City are behaving differently, like you said . . . Ken-san's there, and he isn't himself at all . . .

It's all very discomfiting . . .

It's like a reflection of themselves, Megumi... and in a reflection, everything is reversed, isn't it? Although in the people, only certain aspects of their personality seem to have been reversed in such a manner.

I am certain there must be a way to free them from that place...

Yes, you're right . . . No wonder Ken-san's been forgoing his usual honorifics . . . It could be worse, though . . . far worse.

I'm glad that that is the only part of him that was affected.

And . . . I'm glad that you and I are both still here.

Mmm.

I hope so . . . I wonder if we will just wake and find them here again, or if they have to find a way back here, or if we need to find them . . . I hope we know with a certainty what to do, how to go about it, and soon.

Much worse. For some, it seems, their morality is reversed, which is... very bad in the case of people like Kenshin-san...

Me too, love... very much so...

Well, whatever it is, I will endeavour to find out and help as I can. Will try not to stay out too late, but I will likely be home later than usual.

Indeed. Two version of the City, one the mirror of the other... and as you know, in the mirror, all is reversed. So, aspects of people's personalities are getting reversed...

I could not agree more. I am certain there must be a way to rescue them from there...
