85th Devotion: Catching up

[favoritetraitor]

It seems the most recent curse bypassed me, but my resources have spoken of a Shadow City? I'm interested in hearing about people's experiences with this other place.

[Private to Saya]
Saya, I've noticed that you haven't been at the apartment much since last weekend. Is something wrong?


[ARTEMIS FILTER]
Unfortunately we've lost a few valued members of our organization. While I understand that this is inevitable in this City, it still makes things a bit trying. I believe it's time for us to be more proactive in our research, especially with the threat that any one of us might be gone tomorrow.

Please note that Mr. Temple, and Mr. Kuran are no longer with us. Both of these men seemed to have the knowledge that they were no longer going to be here... which can only make me wonder why some are whisked away without a word, and others have time to prepare. Perhaps we should start taking note of such disappearances to see if there's a pattern.

Given how often people seem to leave we would not be short of test subjects, at the very least.

[prodigalvampire]

What do you want to know about it? I just spent a whole day there.

Shadow City? Ohh, the City does have some interesting, hidden depths!

Nothing is wrong. I've just felt... cooped up lately. That's all.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

That's quite true. Perhaps we should take another head count at those in our organization. Some of our members haven't checked in in awhile...

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Whatever you would care to share, would be fine.

Interesting is an appropriate word. I feel as if I hardly know this place at all with how quickly things change.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... would you like to talk about it?

[private]

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

The City changes constantly, its citizens too - makes you wonder how stable it is, doesn't it.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I don't have the ability to see or access it.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

No? That's rather strange... any thoughts on why this would be so?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Nor do the majority. Which makes it rather normal.

I can occasionally sense something of the Shadows, but nothing more.

[prodigalvampire]

There's this...fog in the air...and it get's difficult to breath.

[letxequalnull.livejournal.com]

It could hardly go amiss.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Did you see any other inhabitants while you were there? Either others from the City or any other beings?

[prodigalvampire]

Only people from the City. No one new.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Would you be willing to come by ARTEMIS' offices to give your account to one of our archivists?

[prodigalvampire]

What do I get out of it?

[jiyuna_togabito]

Is that what they're calling it?

[private voice]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Well, it was what one person referred to it as. I'm not aware of it having a formal name.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

How goes your own research lately, Mr. Xemnas? Any progress?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Was your experience so valuable that you would wish to be paid for recounting it?

[private]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd say it's not stable at all~. I suppose that's part of what makes living here so interesting.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I suppose this will have to remain one of the mysteries then. It's a pity that I missed that one, it seemed rather interesting. But I suppose I've been busy, so it's no matter.

Private; 1/2
