Sermon #1 - text

[Just a simple little post from username 'Bluemarine', but it's posted for everyone to see and the option to reply in any format you like is there, should you feel like it. Somebody sure has the burning desire to ask everyone a question (or piss off as many people as they can, depending).]

How many of you believe in an afterlife? Or...What I should ask is; how many of you understand that you're slaves to fate and destiny, no matter how unhappy yours might be?

You're welcome to try and change my mind on that front, if you think you have the intellect.

Alright, alright. I'll stop teasing you. I'm genuinely curious, however; what would you do if you were dragged, kicking and screaming by the sounds of it, into a new existence where you were forced to abide by fate's rule?

leave, i guess. but if you really want to pretend there are rules about this kind of thing, proverbial gun to my head, then... i'd live with it, but not because somebody like you wanted me to. why do you get to decide?

Why would it be me directly deciding? Say that this new world...Was shaped by something divine. Something born of love. A true Heaven. You could see everything that was ever going to happen to you, your path in life, and you would be able to prepare for it and see the good that would come after the bad, and you could know that this was the work of this new God.

It's a hypothetical, of course. And human adaptation is far more impressive than we give it credit for, so you'd likely have no other option than to live with it as reality intended you to. Thank you for obliging my curiosity.

If I can interrupt. What is the nature of the 'lunatic' bound to you?

Scales so beautifully evoke the between hope and despair! And I completely agree, the world isn't a place that can accommodate to someone if they aren't marked from birth.

So you want to see just how far you can go by purposefully poking at a subject that's not only controversial across all religions and societies, but something that also almost anyone could relate to. Which implies that your own beliefs are likely an extreme that would be considered "taboo", at least where you're from...

Wonderful! I look forward to seeing how it goes.

hold on, you can't drop divine life plans and just walk away from it like that. do people really need to see everything that's going to happen beforehand? we're not living in a movie.

and adapting isn't a bad thing. you could do that here though, instead of a next world. just saying.

[SORRY DUDE TF2 IS DUMB AS HELL but so was that one time White Snake just pulled out a gun]

Well. It was sorta killing me slowly, so it was hard to sightsee. But it's a lot of lava, giant skulls, spiky architecture... usual stuff you'd probably figure. There's a talking book too.

Yup.

You happen to meet a talking book with an Italian accent down there?

No, just a lot of demons. You know how it is.

You may.

As for the nature of how we are bound to one another, he is a route that I did not take and I am route that he wished to take.

Weird enough, I didn't see a lot of demons. Just the book.

To be fair, my other face was attempting to carve up the demons for sport. It may be that they just don't show up when a person is trying to read and chat up fine literature.

[WHITESNAKE IS BEAUTIFUL AND SENTIENT AND fucking annoying sometimes. Oh well, it just Be Like That Sometimes when your canon's a shitshow.]

So not dead, but in hell...But you mentioned an escort mission of sorts, so I suppose it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

Interesting! A typical view of hell, plus a talking book. The rest I'd expect, naturally, but the book has my curiosity most of all. I don't suppose you'd have much information on it, given the whole 'dying slowly' thing.

Do they? Perhaps. If it was the way of life in this new world, then people would be born with it, and it would seem no stranger than the wheel being formed as a triangle.

Hypothetically.

I'm not saying that a new world is needed, nor that I plan on leaving here; if I'm here, in this world, then it's where I need to be (: What, you think you're talking with someone capable of reshaping reality, but instead of doing that, they're shooting the breeze online? Goodness, I'm flattered.

Interesting. But not of my concern. Thank you for your honesty.

oh. huh. yeah, i guess.

[how DARE you make sense!!]

i thought hypothetically was implied for all of this. nobody who goes online to argue about fate can be that serious.

Is love taboo? My beliefs are only for everyone's happiness, but they do rile people up all the same...I suppose it must be, then.

I hope that I can share some good news with you in the future! May your scales weigh exactly as they should.

Sorry about that! I think my bracelet went strange for a moment there; it looks like it got hacked, I think it's called? I'll have to look into that...

If I might say so, however, you seem like a fascinating sort of person; to be bound into two routes, instead of one, and to be able to see each other's spans so intimately...That must either be difficult or incredibly satisfying for at least one of you. Especially if you experience cycles differently!

[Look, he has to make sense in between the, uh. The weird shit. The 'I have my husband's bone in my pocket' shit.]

Of course! LOL sorry, it's hard to be certain online. I was a little worried I was sounding a little...More impressive than I really am. My taste in hats is impeccable, but I'm not exactly a world-breaker.

I'm really glad that we could talk properly after the way our conversation started. Thank you again for humouring me; I'm aware that it's a difficult subject to talk about, but I'm curious all the same, and you've helped me greatly.

[it's okay I love White Snake
there it goes again on its own
going down the only road its ever known]

That's about right. We "escorted" our party, you could say... then spent the rest of the time just getting the hell out ourselves. No pun intended.

Nah, I could talk about the book. Besides the fact it wouldn't stop talking back. It's called the Bombinomicon, and it's got a real knack for blowing stuff up.

I can get that. The book wasn't exactly pleasant company, but it seemed to kinda steal the show over demons.

Someone had a thought that they wished to have answered. It is not within my nature to stifle one's desire to gain more knowledge.

I cannot say either one of us is satisfied. We are able to intimately see the routes taken. We're able to see how many of them ended. But we do not know which one is the "right" path to have taken.

Still, you flatter me. What we are doing is no different than what everyone else is doing, and what everyone else has done. To keep moving forward, to hopefully find the path that is best, is that not why everyone keeps going?

[some people grow green babies to cope etc]

has anyone ever told you how passive-aggressive you are?

[Or is that just how it looks online? Take a breath, my guy.]

to be fair, you did ask a ton of people if they're cool with being slaves to fate even if their lives suck, so no shit it was going to be difficult.

Did you happen to catch the book's name?

I suppose it's funny that I'm about to say what I am, considering my weapon is actually called "Destiny's Embrace", but...

As far as I've been able to figure out, what those words mean is, no one's responsible for their actions, our choices mean nothing, and everything was ordained by an outside force beyond our control, so we may as well lie down and do nothing for the rest of our lives because "fate" already has everything set up anyway, so why bother?

Yeah, not accepting that.

[In her defense, the last person she ever met who talked about fate and destiny at all was, well... Xehanort.]
