the last voyages // 4. video. no filter except for t-x.
Some corners of my culture happen to take religion literally.
[ Gaius is using video, and sitting in his cabin. The lights are currently playing up, as they're wont to do, reflecting off all the glass and chrome of his replicated expensive apartment. He has a cigarette, a cup of tea, and little better to do but seek some conversation to defeat nerves and loneliness.
But not lonely enough to go outside. Visibly on edge, but his voice is calm, where the video feed doesn't flutter. ]
As in, there are-- were-- colonials in the universe who would swear up and down the pantheon that we really did travel in a boat down the river Styx in the afterlife. [ ffrrzzzztttt ] easy to make fun of, but they'd be the ones laughing now, I suppose. I'm dead, and look where I ended up.
I suppose they [ ffrrzzzztttt ] ing pass.
I haven't talked religion in-- well. Ever since I've been here. Not something I miss, to be clear, but there's a
discrepancy
that I'd like to explore. So talk [ ffrrzzzztttt ] your beliefs, Bargeites. Earthers, witches, the lot of [ ffrrzzzztttt ] first and last time - I'm trying to get it out of the way and over with.
[ OOC: My terribleness -- posting and running! I will tag back solidly in a couple of hours, may sneak in a couple here and there beforehand. ]

... Is it customary to thank people for conversation in your society? That must get tiresome.
