Hello...Deities. Hi. I'm Rory Williams.

I'm not sure if you or the City brought me here, but I might as well say that I'm new, so I don't have much firsthand knowledge, but I'm doing my best anyway. There's been a lot of stuff going on for a while, before I even got here, and some of it that just started around when I arrived. There was a clock that used to tick, apparently, and there aren't usually this many monsters about, and there have been other things, like the barrier going down and the carousel animals coming to life. So I have two questions.

First thing...do you lot know---I mean, can you stop this? Can you fix it? Because it's...sort of getting out of hand.

And if not that, then...do you at least...can you tell us why this is happening at all...cos....it'd be really helpful, knowing that.

...

...cheers.

He says "cheers."

I don't know if you're more like Mexico or Chiclitz (however he spelled it) right now. Or Gwenhidwy. Or one of those--whatever.

He says "cheers."

Well, um...thanking in advance, to be polite... I'm sorry, I don't understand the references. Are you a deity?

You'd...rather not be? No...that's me reading into that, sorry. Look....can you answer either of my questions? I'd really appreciate it.

Wouldn't you rather have the satisfaction of learning these things for yourself rather than have me give you all the answers?

Of course you would.

Alright, learn it for myself, right, naturally. But why not fix things? Why don't you?

Date: 2011-05-10 01:29 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
Because...you're in charge here? And you live here as well, so you have a vested interest in making sure the place doesn't fall apart.

From: [identity profile] laszlo-jamf.livejournal.com
Plausible reasoning.

But how do you know we're in charge here? How do you know that we live here? How do you know we won't pull up stakes?

After all, I wasn't here until I was dumped here. Bear it in mind, bear it away.

Why don't you go do something rather than keep talking to me?

Date: 2011-05-10 02:10 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
I'm doing both. Not at once, but me talking to you doesn't mean I'm not going to do something. Call me an idiot for thinking you might be able to help. That's...not an invitation, by the way.

So...you were dropped here the same as anyone else?

Date: 2011-05-10 02:18 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] laszlo-jamf.livejournal.com
Damn.

You think we have that much in common? I was transferred here.

From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
I'm just trying to work things out. If you'd say anything directly, this would go much faster. You were transferred. Which means you have more power than an average citizen. Or at least more knowledge, that you've decided not to share with anybody. You don't think that you might have some sort of level of responsibility to help out, like anyone else here?

From: [identity profile] laszlo-jamf.livejournal.com
I "help out" more than you could even begin to realize.

Date: 2011-05-10 02:36 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
Alright, I can't! I don't know! Why do you have to be secretive about it?

Date: 2011-05-10 03:06 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] laszlo-jamf.livejournal.com
Because, quite simply, I don't feel like telling you these things.

Date: 2011-05-10 03:17 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] laszlo-jamf.livejournal.com
I've been wrong before--it's not often, but it happens--but you look like you're of roughly average intelligence. Maybe you can figure it out without my help if you really, really put your mind to it. Click those neurons.

Anyway, isn't my telling you all the answers cheating? Why should I tell you?

Date: 2011-05-10 03:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
Oh, thanks.

I don't... Okay. Not all the answers, then. Just a hint. A hint as to what I can do to fix this.

From: [identity profile] laszlo-jamf.livejournal.com
And you're the one who wants to go from being a nurse to a doctor.

Here's a hint: diagnose and treat. What symptoms are presenting? What's the history? What treatments have already been tried? What worked? What failed? What observations can be drawn from that? Use your brain.

Or else I might be tempted to take it and keep it in a jar as a specimen. I mean, really.

Date: 2011-05-11 04:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
If it's that useless, do you really want it as a specimen?

But alright, yeah, I get it. Work it out myself. Cheers again.

I'm just trying to get a few answers...though it's not exactly working.

He'd better not be literal about keeping your brain in a jar.

Date: 2011-05-10 08:12 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
I....think he's the sort who's probably completely literal about that. He'd probably let you keep my body, if that helps. [Which is meant to be a joke.]

Date: 2011-05-10 08:13 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com
Well, in that case. [Which is her accepting the diversion. She thinks you're up to something, though.]

From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
Just promise to visit my brain, sometimes. I'm sure floating in a jar becomes quite boring.

From: [identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com
Sure thing. I might even bring your body 'round.

So what's this all about then?

Date: 2011-05-11 12:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
Well...I thought maybe asking nicely would work, and the deities might get rid of all the monsters again, and things might go back to sort of normal. Anyone I asked said they hadn't even bothered asking the deities so I figured: Why not?

Date: 2011-05-11 01:26 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com
That would've been nice. Too easy, but nice, yeah.

Date: 2011-05-11 04:36 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitsforever.livejournal.com
I know. I didn't expect much. I only thought it fair to give the 'heartless dictators' a chance.

Date: 2011-05-12 05:54 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com
You're sweet, Rory Williams.

Fine line between that and daft, I suppose.
