[Guess what time it is, Vatheon?]

[INTROSPECTIVE PHILOSOPHY TIME WITH JACOB, OF COURSE. Seriously, what were you thinking it was going to be.]

[Today, Jacob seems to be finishing up the last details of a illustration he's sewing onto a piece of cloth. He looks up from his work, a questioning glance in his eyes.]

What protects you, people of Vatheon?

A homie's peeps all do, of course.

[cause he is a believer, yes. But what he believes in most of all is his friends' abilities to turn him into a better troll. That's what friends are for.]

[nos_servabit]

[A smile when he hears what Gamzee says.] That's certainly very true. A person's friends can drag him out of any difficult situation if they put their mind to it.

[faygot]

[He nods happily]

What all got a motherfucker bros for if not to all be making him into the best fuckin' motherfucker he can all be? You all gotta trust your peeps to know what be best for ya.

[nos_servabit]

Exactly. Sometimes there are times when you can't decide things on your own. And that is where your friends come in.

[demoniacals]

Oh? And who's to say that there's anyone 'protecting' me?

[... Fffffff moral compass what's that-]

[nos_servabit]

I was just asking. But no matter what, somebody almost always has someone looking after them.

[demoniacals]

Ah, but that means that there are also exceptions to that.

[nos_servabit]

Yes, but those people who go by themselves in life often fail when they come across something they can't do by themselves.

I protect me. And... so do some people, I guess.

[A smile.]

Sometimes there are things we can't protect ourselves from. So, who are these other people who protect you?

[Video]

[aurathread]

Um... Subaru does, and so does Bear and Blackrose and BT. Sora and Helba and Crim too, I guess. None of them are here, though.

...

So, you just have yourself to protect you? Nobody here will be your guardian?

[twiceinhabited]

[Protect...]

Their faith allow that symbol to protect them.

[Yeah, not answering his question. Yet.]

[nos_servabit]

Yes, if you see it that way.

[twiceinhabited]

Having it can give people strength.

[Or in some case, let them literally empower a god with prayer.

There's a thoughtful pause, as she consider the question for herself. What protects her?]

[nos_servabit]

It certainly can. Sometimes a symbol is much more than what it looks likes. There's a certain power to symbols, I agree.

[This hits close to home right now. Guilt issues, hello! For the moment, Mitsuhide just sounds thoughtful.]

...there is one who says he is my strength. He watches over me, and guides me through dark times.

[nos_servabit]

I see. Is he a god, or a good friend?

[wavesoakedlegs]

A friend, an ally, a lover. He is fully human, with the same weaknesses of all mortal men.

[nos_servabit]

I see. Sometimes such people can even be more powerful than gods when it comes to guarding those they love. I'm glad you have someone like that.
