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. ]

Even once is still. Gross. They should just...stay inside. In the bedroom.

Oh. Right. I don't really go up to the roofs anyway. But you'd think they would figure that it isn't....the most private. Hopefully this stops them.

[thoughts]

Hoping. It's also meant to discourage any other rooftop sex fiends in the area. Not sure it's working.

[littlesurvivor]

I think it might be more having the opposite effect. Paying attention to it like this gives more people the idea if they weren't considering or doing it already. Unfortunately.

Inverse suggestion. Tell someone not to yawn and there's a 93% likelihood of yawning. Our prison is going to get crowded.

[littlesurvivor]

I'd hope not. I just wasn't sure what this sort of thing was called. Inverse suggestion. Right. I just hope it doesn't mean the patrol get stuck dealing with more of this sort of thing. They're not there to arrest people for that.

[thoughts]

We're not, but it happens anyway. People don't like rules.

[littlesurvivor]

Rules are in place for a reason. Not just to annoy us. It's for our safety. Against Thiazi. Even I understand that much and try respect that. This is hardly the time for that.

[ river smiles a little at that. ]

i agree. it's the only reason i'm on the patrol. i don't like rules. these are good ones. annoying, but good.

[littlesurvivor]

Exactly. The gods are just trying to do their best in keeping us and everyone else safe during all this. Besides, everyone needs to sleep. So I don't see what's so bad about having a curfew.

[thoughts]

people are jerks.

[littlesurvivor]

Some people. Not all of them. Most probably are actually trying to stick to the rules. It's the few that aren't that cause problems.

[thoughts]

[ that's fair. ]

we're problem children too. but for a reason. usually. we might be jerks.

[littlesurvivor]

I try not to be a problem. but I know people can be assholes. Just like to think I'm not necessarily one of them.

[thoughts]

if you're trying, then you aren't. the problem is not caring. most people don't.
