It is also said, that the reservoirs are emptied every year (presumably at Christmas?). And we don’t see mass disappearances every year.
[spoiler]It was previously mentioned, that love stories are getting worse in quantity and quality and moving the city would help with that. How all this is tied into with the mass extinction event is not entirely clear.
Why does the Bazaar need Lacre in the first place? The Master’s are interested in love stories to help alleviate whatever is ailing their employer and/or Bazaar. Or maybe to slightly appease Mr.Eaten, who would like his accounting to be done and over, thank you very much.
Lacre is sorrow. Sorrow that in enough quantities will destroy a soul. Love stories either help deal with it, or this sorrow is a byproduct of them. But why would the Master’s need full reservoirs of Lacre? Full and not empty? Wouldn’t you like to get read of it, not have more? It all looks strangely backwards to me.[/spoiler]
edit: Eh, how do I make a spoiler? Never done them. Do I need a spoiler for what I wrote? It IS mostly speculative.
edit2: Aha, I see. I was trying to do <spoiler></spoiler>
