Sermon Two | Text

[inheavenslight]

I have been here for a week, and so far I have learned the following things:

1.) Nothing here makes sense.
2.) Animals are not supposed to talk, and they do. I think I prefer birds when they didn't have conversations outside my window.
3.) Everyone seems to carry their witchbook around, people should lock them up someplace.
4.) There are a lot of strange folks here with odd ways.
5.) What is there to do besides sit around?
6.) Why am I even writing this in here? Note to self: invest in a journal.

Birds are calming. Ikki says I am now part of the art club.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

Okay, so you like art. That's a start.

You should go outside more often, too. There's gotta be some things you like doing!

[Besides boring sermons or feeding birds anyway.]

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

I never went outside much at home.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

You never went outside? Why not?

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

Not much, because the Church didn't need me out there.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

That's dumb.

You should go out whenever you want to go out, not because someone needs you out there.

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

No, it makes sense for my duty. I should not become biased.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

Biased?

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

My Duty is to be the Judge of the land.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

Duty or not, isn't that just closing yourself off?

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

They want me to be closed off, so I can focus on higher things.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

Yeah? Like what?

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

The Deity.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

Uh-huh. So what's your Deity like?

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

The Deity is what all life comes from. A being of pure good, all evil in the land comes from humans, and sadly em has to suffer for it.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

And that's why you don't go outside?

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

To make sure that I don't...get biased. Like if it turns out I think Bakers are amazing, and one steals something for their business.

I should treat them like a thief. But if I knew how important said object was, I would give leniency. Which would be unfair.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

[He... probably doesn't want to hear about what Eiko's been doing since before meeting Zidane and the others, then.]

Is that because you're a judge?

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

The Judge. I am the only one in my land.

[No he wouldn't. He would assume the worse. Abel has been trying to introduce him to grays.]

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

Uh-huh. So what do you do as a judge? [pause] Or... as the Judge, or something.

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

I Judge those who go against the faith of the Sancia.

[voice]

[tiearibbon]

Okay.

But you just said you're closed off from the outside world. Which means you close yourself off from other people. How can you really judge others if you don't even know anything about the people you're judging?

Re: [voice]

[inheavenslight]

I know the laws, and I know what is inside a person.

[voice] > [accidental video]

[tiearibbon]

But you can't just--

[Whoops, as she's ranting at the journal her hand accidentally brushes through something on the page and... wow, what just happened? WHAT DID SHE DO.]

Huh? What did I just press?

Re: [voice] > [accidental video]

[inheavenslight]

[STARE. JUST STARE.]
