"Naw, ain't'ad nothin' 'long'ose lines...y'got any idea what it means?"
"Pretty much figure that if people choose whatever the Tower wants, we're fucked," I say frankly, sipping my beer. It gets better the further down the glass I get. "I think the blue city is what Excolo could be with the help of my goddess," I say. "Nanshe, she wants this to be a peaceful place. Good crops, safety for the vulnerable, all that. Nothing fancy. Just good, you know?" I smile a bit. "I hope we can figure out how to get it."
"Oh, yeah, I c'n do'at. Don't get me wrong, sell m'share'a coloured water t'th'farmgirls 'n dry grass t'th'boys't wanna li'l perk in'eir pants..."
I laugh at that.
"Most of the boys in town could do with less perk, I reckon, but I know what you mean."
Syl tears off a bit of meat, and I watch her sprinkle something on it. A second later flies are all over it, and I stare at it.
"Buggeration, that's quite something," I say. "And also, may I add, pretty bloody gross," I say, watching them devour the meat and then sod off. "Did you conjure them, or summon them?" I say, curious. I mean, it's still pretty impressive (and nasty) if she can summon flies, but even more impressive (and gross) if she can create them out of thin air. Think overall I preferred Kaeli's flower trick. This town is fucking mental.
"Yeah," I say sadly. "Figured that much myself. Had a couple of visions, but they didn't make much sense. Will have to try fasting again soon." I stare at the burger ruefully.

"Didn't getta chance t'see much, t'be honest....jes' 'nough t'know th'whole town's innit's shadow, 'n th'Lot too."
