Sermon One | Accidental | Voice

[There was the sounds of birds chirping, leaves moving in the wind and the sound of someone mumbling to themselves.] This is not good at all- what if the Church thinks I ran away?

[Now the sound of grass rustling as someone is walking around.] But I have wings- so, maybe this is a dream? Maybe some symbolism? What do wings represent? Um. [There is more pacing.] Wings. Wings. Wings.

In the fifth book and the third sermon, Mother Monoya said 'And thusly The Lady felt as if she had wings, and was moving further from the body of the Dei-' [A gasp.] Nonono- Does this mean I am only moving further from the Church? But in the seventh sermon she said 'The Lady knew her spirit could soar and look down on the peoples of the lands, to see the full body of the Deity and learn of em.' So maybe its a sign because I am still ground bound that while I have wings I have the potential to fully learn of the Deity but I am stuck here by my own insecurities. What would Abel say?

What would HE say?

He would say: You're thinking too much about the symbolism, so why don't you just enjoy the idea of fliting around with my birds. But- there has to be a reason why I am dreaming about this. I have never dreamed about wings before. So, I will pretend I am on a journey in my dreamworld in my mind.

Maybe I will learn something and can bring it back to the waking world if I remember it. Which I won't. Because really, who remembers dreams in that much detail? What is this? [Suddenly the journal is picked up. There is a bespectacled man with gray eyes and light blond hair. He narrows his eyes as he looks over the journal and realizes it is recording. Suddenly, the expression quickly changes, from one curiosity, to fear to neutral. Almost blank. Luce can see other people in it, so he knew that he had to be impersonal- be The Judge.]

To whom is using this…device-

['It is a dream right? So, it can’t be witchcraft, right?' He thinks to himself]

I require some information on this locale and perhaps someone could tell me why I have wings.

[Why ponder symbolism when one can simply have it spelled out to him. His mind would be nice and tell him, right? Right!]

I have just arrived, and judging from other notes I have seen, others have just arrived too.

[Luce paused as he tried to think of how to sort this out mentally.]

I know it is improper of me to read into their personal affairs, so perhaps could someone be so polite to tell me the answers to the basic questions:

Who is in charge here?
What am I doing here?
When is this?
Where am I?
and How did I get here?

[Luce pauses for a few more moments, feeling out the next sentence in his mouth.]

Of course, it would be rude of me to ask so much without properly introducing myself, I am The Judge of Sancia.

[After all, Luce is amongst people now. So, he wasn’t Luce. He had a role he had to act out and he would. Oh he wanted to look into those other entries, but if this were a dream they would probably be talking about potatoes and the color orange and how orange could be such an ugly color in many situations. And rude after all, he couldn’t just let people know he was sneaking around reading- and Abel said not to do that unless he was working.]

And I am quite new here.

Japanese? I have never heard of that species before. [This sounds more curious than anything else. He has never heard of this 'Japanese' before.]

But it must be one of those different world things.

Oh, thats right, you must be from another world. Japan is a country, my homeland. Phobos, Deimos, and I are Japanese.

[She smiles, happy to explain]

[He nods at that. Making a note of it.] Sancia is the country I come from. But isn't it odd, that no matter the world it seems, there are humans and there are birds- this world and my world, and your world too.

[A little more of his 'judge' expression drops, into a bit of a confused smile.] Although, it is impossible for me to imagine other worlds. [At least it feels impossible! After all, where would some other world reside? He wonders if her world's Deity ever knew his own. Not that he cares about other worlds Deity, because he can't really think of any other world or such besides his own.]

[Rei politely smiles and nods in agreement. People were people, and birds were birds.]

I felt that way at first, myself. But gradually I got used to it. The journals are a little strange, but give it some time and things will become easier.

I don't trust the journals, I plan on burying mine once I get the chance.

Oh?

[She shakes her head]

That won't get rid of it.

Excuse me?

The organization I told you about, the Malnosso? They'll send your journal back to you.

That is most vile. [He grimaces.] If someone doesn't want to be close to such things, they should not force it.

They do announcements through it, and it acts as a translator or a telephone. Its not necessarily a bad thing to have. They're helpful at communication, as you've seen.

What is a telephone?

Ahh, hmmm.

[She pauses for a moment]

A telephone is a small machine used to talk to people long distances away. Each phone has a number associated with it, and you dial the number to reach a specific telephone.

[and all of that obviously goes over his head.]

Oh, I'm sorry, does your world not have anything like that?

No, we communicate long distances by letter.

Oh my. Does your world have cars or do you still rely on horses?

The latter, sadly. [He has no idea what a car is, but whatever it is has to be better than those demonbeasts.]

Ahh, well...if you don't know then, don't worry about it. I'm fond of horses, but they are more a novelty than practicality back home.

[She shrugs]

Do you like tea?

[Luce shudders a little.] Abel is fond of horses too, I personally am not.

And I do.

Then, lets go to the tea shop and have some. I don't mind the heat, but I'd rather not risk sunstroke.

[She points to the shop and heads in that general direction]

It is a bit muggy. How long have you been here, Rei? [He starts walking in the right direction.]

Since March, so around four months.

[She goes slowly, waiting on him]

Its a fairly temperate place it seems. It does rain often, but thats not unbearable.

That seems to be a long time, do you miss your home?

Somewhat. Having Phobos and Deimos around, and two of my best friends from home as well has made the transition easier.

I see, when did your friends arrive?
