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.

[inheavenslight]

I never knew birds had an opinion on their homes.

[breezing]

Everyone has opinions!

[inheavenslight]

I've never talked to a bird and assumed they didn't.

After all, they do eat worms.

[breezing]

Have you ever tried eating a worm?

[inheavenslight]

No. Because I don't like how they look.

[breezing]

Well, if you haven't tried eating it you're not allowed to have opinions 'bout it.

[inheavenslight]

Worms roll around in everyone's filth!

[breezing]

So do potatoes.

[inheavenslight]

Potatoes do not eat the filth, and you wash them off before hand. [YOU DO NOT BRING POTATOES INTO THIS ARGUMENT MISSY]

[breezing]

You could wash your worm off beforehand. And anyway, lots of animals that people eat eat worms, so there! [ YES SHE DOES ]

[inheavenslight]

Potatoes do not have internal organs.

[breezing]

Nope, but they consume the ground that consumes us, y'know. Everything is part of the same cycle!

[inheavenslight]

Yes, but they don't wiggle. Or have like 9 hearts.

[breezing]

They have lots of eyes, though!

[ Aaaaaaaaand she bursts into laughter. Yep. ]

[inheavenslight]

What? They do?

[breezing]

Those're what you call the little buds on the outside.

[ ...turns out you pick up gardening humour when you grow up on an island where you grow most of your own food. ]

[inheavenslight]

...I did not know that.

[breezing]

It'dve been funnier if you did, I guess! My family grows a loooooot of food back home.

[inheavenslight]

Thats what Abel did before he came to work for the Church. What kind of things did you grow?

[breezing]

Mostly vegetables, but some fruits! Air nomads - I'm an air nomad - are vegetarians, 'cause of our beliefs.

[inheavenslight]

See, only one month a year Abel and I have to be vegetarians.

[breezing]

Why's that? [ Genuine interest, which isn't at all rare from her. She's curious about everything. ]

[inheavenslight]

Its because everything works in seasons, the Deity gives us food, but we shouldn't wear it out. So we give em a month to rest for that product and to re-realize its importance.

[breezing]

I heard a little bit about the Deity. What's he - [ a pause, and she corrects herself, cheerfully ] what's em like?

[inheavenslight]

You want to know more? [He actually sounds HAPPY at this.]
