ATTENTION ALL CITIZENS AND TRAVELLERS

A reminder that curfew is in effect between the hours of 10:00PM and 6:00AM. All outdoors activities during these hours are strictly prohibited, including but not limited to:

• fornication on rooftops.

Please be mindful of the time when playing hide the snake in public spaces.

This has been a courtesy reminder from your loyal City Patrol: keeping an eye on the sky so that you don't have to.

[ ooc; river will be staying anon unless otherwise noted. feel free to threadjack at will! and for the record, this is totally canon. ]

We'll count to ten.

[ ten seconds? ten thrusts? it is a mystery. ]

[daistanbul]

how generous of the city watch

but then that brings up the question of what happens on thresholds and windowsills

[thoughts]

The City Patrol cannot be held accountable for any and all:

a) peeping,
b) leering,
c) general public outrage.

Any reports of disturbance will be followed up with nets and sighing.

thank you so much for putting up with him XD

[daistanbul]

how sweet of you to bring out the nets

are you going to release them into the wilderness afterwards

but you never answered my question

would fornication on a windowsill or in a threshold be prohibited under curfew as neither of them are inside nor outside

everything about this is perfection.

[thoughts]

All body parts must be accounted for inside the building. Violators will be subject to arrest for wayward dangly bits.

[daistanbul]

does it depend on which dangly bit

is a toe of the same value for arrest as an arm or a torso

[thoughts]

We are a non-discriminatory organization. In the practice of equal opportunity, all dangly bits are equally culpable.

[daistanbul]

shame on them for being so dangly

[Somewhere in the city, there is a man cackling.]

so why exactly is the city under curfew anyway

[thoughts]

To keep the ducks in a row. We don't want to lose people.

[daistanbul]

does the city not trust us to account for our own

it seems a little strange that the gods would ask us to fight for them and yet not trust us to take care of ourselves

[thoughts]

It's not the gods. We don't trust each other.

[daistanbul]

that is even stranger in my opinion

how can you fight alongside someone you cannot trust

[thoughts]

Have we won the war yet?

[daistanbul]

no

but i think you should be asking yourself instead whether we have lost the war yet

i am not sure what place you come from but sometimes wars take decades possibly centuries to come to a conclusion

in my world some that started long before my lifetime have yet to finish
