Secrets don't seem to fare well in this City, do they? I ate a few of these hearts without really thinking about it-- curse compulsion, I suppose-- and I'd really rather I hadn't.

Perhaps we ought to treat this as an opportunity; not to gossip or, er, to use what secrets you may learn against their keepers, but to build some understanding of ( Read more... )

I decided to be a good Catholic today and resist the temptation to eat them.

mr_phale February 13 2009, 01:27:25 UTC

I wish I'd realized what they were before I did; I do hate to invade others' privacy.

caf_pow_girl February 13 2009, 01:28:54 UTC

How many did you eat?

mr_phale February 13 2009, 01:37:02 UTC

Three, in quick succession, before I realized my mistake.

In the City? Asking for compassion?

mr_phale February 13 2009, 03:52:33 UTC

Asking and offering.

In terms of taste, you aren't missing much, my dear.

That's what those hearts were for? Secrets?! I-Oh, oh, that's awful. And there were so many hearts this morning...Oh, no.

I'm starting to think it was a good thing I didn't eat any today...

mr_phale February 13 2009, 05:24:14 UTC

It's probably for the best, yes... Some of them seem to be, er, relatively harmless... but from what I've seen on the Network, others are more... distressing.

lessthanmyth February 13 2009, 05:36:49 UTC

I wouldn't doubt it. I mean, there's a reason some things are secrets, and some of them can't be good. There's just so many secrets and I can't imagine what it'd be like to have someone find out something so personal through a tiny piece of candy.

mr_phale February 13 2009, 06:42:02 UTC

Distressing, I'm certain... but, ah, that's characteristic of the City; it encourages honesty and subsequent embarrassment on a regular basis.

I agree with not using the hearts against their owners. It's the logical thing to do.

mr_phale February 13 2009, 19:40:36 UTC

One cannot trust in logic here, sadly.

horrible_protag February 16 2009, 05:23:45 UTC

How true that is beginning to seem.

I am Captain Hammer, incidentally. Your name?

mr_phale February 16 2009, 19:50:13 UTC

A.Z. Phale; a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

All these captains.. Er.. If I may ask, what is it you're the captain of?
