Sermon Two | Text

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.

But its true, if it is my time. That means it is my time, and I can go into my next life- where hopefully I did well enough to move up.

I guess that's one reason to accept such a thing.

So it isn't that you believe in fate necessarily as much as you're not afraid to face your death if it comes to it?

Correct. Because, my next life will hopefully be better than this one.

You don't like your current life?

There are things I wish I could change, but I simply can't.

If it's not too personal my I ask like what?

In my next life, I hope not to be someone else's sin. [The way he says that, it is something very personal. Abel. He frowns a little.]

[A very serious phoenix frown, deadpan joking gone.]

People don't carry on the sins of their parents.

I don't have parents. I'm actually a foundling.

"Foundling?"

I was found as a child. So the Church took me in.

Then what makes you think you're a someone else's sin?

I'd rather not say. I'm sorry, Mr. Bird.

That's okay, but I still don't think it's possible.

Being born is never a sin.

Its not my birth, I cause someone else to sin. Someone who deserves the best in the world, is willing to risk it all for me.

Just by living?

They love me when they shouldn't. [And he loves them back.] So, I hope in my next life, I can be something they can love.

Much as I really hate to admit it, no one's unlovable matey.

[Even Blackbeard. Granted, Marco hates him, but he was his brother once. He just wants to kill him a thousand times over now.]

So I don't think it's a sin. [Though honestly, Marco just wouldn't care if it was... because this is why he's a pirate.]

I'm supposed to be. [He says this like he is talking about the weather.] Yet. Someone loves me, and I love them back. And I know its wrong.

Why would you be unlovable? Did you do something unforgivable?

The Church has told me to never say.

Well, I'm sorry but I disagree with them.

Even people who do unforgivable things still have parts of them that people could love. Even mass murderers. I can't forgive slavers, but I don't think loving family even if they're fucked up can ever be wrong.

Sometimes the only good thing about someone is that they love someone else enough to stand by them even if they disagree with them.

Maybe, one day I'll tell you the whole story, Mr. Bird.

I'll be looking forward to it, matey.

Maybe I'll tell you a story about lovable monsters in return.

That would be quite nice.
