[ooc: backdate to this morning.]

I did not put this on. I cannot get it off.

What tricks are we now being subjected to?

what does it mean

pretty though

some sort of metaphor?

Put what on? Another costume? I haven't been affected.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

This hourglass...

[hisbutler_bound]

Hourglass. Where? Tell me. Did It do this to you?

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

On my neck, like some sort of necklace.

It did, I would assume, seeing as I woke up with it on.

[hisbutler_bound]

[If Juliet can feel it, his aura just flared somewhere in Edensphere.]

Oh? You better not be harmed.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[Very, very faintly.]

Yes. Just there.

I am unharmed. I'm just curious as to the purpose of these.

[hisbutler_bound]

And you do not know what it means? Seems others have it as well.

Hourglasses are often timers, are they not? But I wonder perhaps if it is a metaphor as you said.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

How many of us? This feels oddly specific.

Yes...meaning time, but by extension life and death.

[hisbutler_bound]

I am not sure. I've only seen those that have responded to you, and others.

Life and death. I will not appreciate you in danger, Juliet.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

Right now...[pause, scanning entries] six, if I'm not mistaken.

It would be so wonderfully ironic, though.

[hisbutler_bound]

Six. I wonder if Rabbit has one too.

Ironic, that someone else counts your remaining time, or something else?

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

We shall have to see.

Well, it all hinges on what this is a countdown to.

[hisbutler_bound]

I suppose so, though I believe I shall try to find him immediately regardless.

And how long you have if anything happens at all.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

Do tell me when you do.

Hmm. It seems that they have mentioned these.

[hisbutler_bound]

As you wish, Juliet.

They have? I am not aware.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

Check back for the entry relating to the ticker tape parade. The replies to Gene. They mentioned hourglasses.

[hisbutler_bound]

[There's a pause while he checks back]

I see it now.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

Do you think we'll end up like Fugue when these run out?

[hisbutler_bound]

Memoryless and lost?

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[inkblot]

he's alive?

[hisbutler_bound]

I greeted him more than a week ago. He doesn't remember anything. Just his name is Fugue, and a familiar sense that he's been here before.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

I see.

What I meant was killed, though losing my memories again would be its own death.

[hisbutler_bound]

Juliet. If it comforts you, I can kidnap whoever you like to be with you when the final sand drops, if it ever reaches the end.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

That's kind of you, but there's no need to do that.

[hisbutler_bound]

Even Stoneface if you need to get close enough to the flower shop.
