something sprung a leak
sorry about that

maybe that will drown them

but the place looked dirty anyway

might as well clean it

it's dark, too dark to see

it's very hard to get a plumber in here

Thanks. But you do realize that now certain people will believe you're answering the Devil's provocations.

Also the city's already been flooded once. It's getting redundant.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

why

but not flooded enough

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Because he burnt woods and asked for water. And here you go. Didn't you notice?

Good. If you could try and be thorough where it matters, it'll be even better.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we don't notice the scurrying of insects

when does it matter?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[Raven chuckles a bit a that.] Now I'll love to see his face when you tell him that. Do you have bug spray?

When it helps us get out of here.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

fountains of it
only to stun
and pull the little legs off

there's no helping that
it can't be helped

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

That's always best to be prepared, hmm?

Why so? Don't tell me you've already given up on that.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we're always prepared
for something

not given up
but how can insects help

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

But not for anything?

Some insects can be useful.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

anything is something

some are edible

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily.

...Yeah, well, that's not exactly what I meant but still.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

anything is nothing?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Or everything.

One track mind, aren't you?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

anything is everything is nothing?

we have a lot of tracks
they get tangled

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[A small smirk.] Or something?

I see. Who's brilliant idea was all this water by the way? Was that yours Thalatte or was it the fish's?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

...


is there a difference

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

It could. It'd be interesting to know.

Aren't you proud of this idea? Whoever idea it was?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

that's how ideas go

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

But you're not quite sure who got it first, is that it?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

someone might've mentioned it

but there's committees
things get dragged around

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

That almost makes you sound like an organized community.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

It usually implies having a leader who coordinates things and arbitrates debates. Do you have one?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

possibly

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Orchids? [She pauses.] "She" is your leader. Because she's the most powerful? Who is she? Why doesn't 'God' say anything?
