[Charon's Palm]

What did I tell you?  "The shape is the id of the city?"

Well, I am its superego.

It would suit you if I were a mad god; a raving AI; a Wounded King: that would make your life a lot easier.  

I may choose to adopt those mannerisms from time to time; I am but mad north-north-west.

You see, you're my failsafe.

Atemporality is a curse as well as boon.  

Every time you reached an outcome that was unacceptable and stepped back, what happened?  Subtle shifts, reconfigurations, people in different places.  

There is never a perfect solution: you can drive yourself mad just thinking about it.

So...I have stopped.

Soon, we will be able to leave Shand and Nix to their petty arguments and deal directly with each other.
