[See Rose. See Rose grin at the camera, looking quite pleased with the world at large. She already loves this flood, obviously, as her island was prone to bursting into song at a moment's notice. She's gracing the barge with some Pocahontas.]

You think that  I'm an ignorant pagan
And you've been so many places, I guess it must be so
But still I cannot

[Desmond doesn't find this flood funny. At all. Look, you get a sulky Warden to make up for all those times he was just too nice to live.]

Good to see you seem to be enjoying yourself.

[preachyrose]

[Oh warden. Lighten up! She laughs childishly and gives a small shrug.]

A pity to see that you aren't.

I'm perfectly capable of sharing my feelings without bursting into song. [Especially not... Embarrassing Top 40 hits sung by Canadian pop idols. Sob.]

[preachyrose]

By all means, then. Share.

At least you seem to be having fun. I refuse to come out of my room. I'm going to wait until it passes.

[preachyrose]

I am having fun. It's almost like being home again.

[doctor_j_crane]

Your home is rather musical?

[preachyrose]

We realize the benefits in song. The children sang, the adults sang...and why shouldn't we?

[deepdowndark]

Reading something is making it live. It doesn't imply death. Words create us, define us, bring life and the world.

[preachyrose]

And I would agree. But you must have change in order to survive. And adhering the same way to the same rules will stagnate a culture.

[deepdowndark]

It's a respect for the past, a respect for history. You have to know the Laws from the beginning to end. There are some things which are immutable.

[preachyrose]

I respect the past and the history of my people. But I also realize that things are meant to change. Not the laws, not the rules, but the interpretations of them. If we do not make allowances for the passage of time, then we cannot progress.
