[ it’s this guy again. although he seems considerably less sad than he did the last time he appeared on the network to talk about accidental sympathy with the oracles of the sinless, that may not be the best thing in the world once he begins speaking. he's also wearing small angel wings, visible in the view of the camera—they're definitely fake accessories, however, rather than being a moonblessing or even a more permanent effect of the bracelet. ]

…hello.

[ he's nervous? he's nervous, and his shoulders fidget slightly. he can't look at the camera. ]

There’s been a lot of people asking about churches. [ ah. ] …I am a member of one that recently opened. It is… a re-establishment of the Order I used to belong to in my world before.

[ it isn't a ringing endorsement, but it is the truth. ]

We don’t worship any god. It is an order that focuses on the internal self and what people are capable of. A man named the Archangel is our leader. If you’ve met him… um, anyway, please come by.

[ and included, information about the Order of Malkuth, located in a primo spot on level one. go ahead, join the cult. ]

[That says pretty much everything, doesn't it? So much for questioning things...]

Good to know. [He might have tried to word things in a less judgmental way if he weren't under so much stress himself, but maybe he wouldn't have succeeded anyway. It's not like he's ever tried to talk to someone in a cult before.]

Thank you for telling me.

[ there’s another long pause before dextera responds to that. it takes a lot of courage to come up with his reply, after all. ]

I’m not a fool. I know how this looks and sounds.

[ after their last conversations, of course he would look like another sad victim of a cult, and in a way he is. it’s also what he’s familiar with, and it’s much easier to work within it than outside of it. trying to explain all that to a stranger, though, is asking for trouble. ]

It would be worse if I didn’t.

Is that what you think?

[There's definitely a benefit to knowing, of course. It's a potential step forward. But taking that step, and then turning right back around... if that's what's happening, then it's definitely worse.]

It doesn't matter what I think about it, in the end. Or anybody else. It's about doing what's right.
