Entry 530; Day 1033
[Filtered from Known DELILAH Members || Unhackable]
It seems I do this most every time that one of them appears or reappears in the City: I hear of the arrival, I send out a warning, and then I retreat into whatever sort of guarded place I can find. I keep off the Network and I do nothing more than waste my time.
For instance, this past weekend, the sun did not rise. Now, I have seen the sun fail to rise on several occasions in the City--there have been festivals and parties as a part of it and there have been ordeals like this most recent curse.
In fact, I think I've seen that very curse that struck this past weekend before at least once. But it's worth remarking on: there were any number of people throwing fire or electricity from their fingertips or bringing tables and chairs to life or lifting massive objects or flying without wings and then having to pay a penance for whatever it was that they'd done above their normal capabilities. I'm quite sure I've seen that set of circumstances before, though I hope no one had to break his fingers in exchange for some supernatural ability. I heard, during the earlier instance of this curse, that someone had to do just that.
But that's hardly my point. The very sun failed to rise, which says something about this place or those who claim to be in charge of its keeping, and I couldn't quite seem to make mention of it. I know it was rather hard to miss that detail, that we were in the dark for two days, and the Network was full enough of remarks on it. But if I grow too accustomed to how peculiar this place is, I wonder what that might really mean. Perhaps I have finally gone mad when I don't think two days of uninterrupted darkness are worth mentioning, not when I have other concerns to occupy my mind.
It's rather pathetic of me to warn you away from someone and his accomplices and to vow that I'll stand against him, only to hide myself away again. It's what I do with curses, of course. But I don't think it works quite so well in this other instance.
And shall I blame the City or myself?
I have errands to attend to and the cafe will want my seeing to it as well.

If he doesn't, you can still see. For now, he only knows of Jezebel, Cassian, and Alexis. Better keep your secrets if you're one of Alexis's bffls!] chee

Yes, what of it?

Well, you seem genuinely worried and... maybe uncomfortable? Are you okay?

I'm perfectly fine. I should only like to make others aware of potential dangers in the City.
