Just as I told those lovely Animus folks--isn't there something in some human religion or another about a giant boat? An ark? Maybe we ought to get to building one of those, lest we be washed away for our "sins". This is enough like--what was it again, in the same religion? Oh yes. Purgatory. Never really was as good at human culture as he was ( Read more... )

don't really give a shit 'bout humans, guess who's still waiting for the doctor, my suit better not get ruined

[This conversation is a lot weirder now that she knows... angels.]

Noah.

The man's name was Noah.

Yes, that was it! Lucky fellow, getting chosen to live and all that.

He had to watch the entire world drown and wash away.

Do you really think he's all that lucky?

[Video] soundsofdrums June 20 2011, 16:54:47 UTC

He had his family with him, didn't he? I doubt he minded much past that.

The story of Noah's Ark.

... How is what like Purgatory? [Not.. that Anna knows what Purgatory is actually like, but whatever.]

voice soundsofdrums June 19 2011, 22:28:34 UTC

This world, from the little I've read.

voice gotbackupagain June 19 2011, 22:31:02 UTC

I don't think this place is anything like Purgatory.

voice soundsofdrums June 19 2011, 22:32:39 UTC

Stuck in a dull place with the only way out being a mysterious, higher being who determines when we're ready? Sounds enough like it to me.

Noah.

He complained too much.

Purgatory is nothing like you think.

[video] soundsofdrums June 19 2011, 22:30:41 UTC

Oh, so he's real?

Then tell me. What is it like?

[video] expunger June 19 2011, 22:55:32 UTC

He was. He died several thousand years ago, in our time.

[She pauses, takes a thoughtful breath.] I have not been there but I bore witness to its creation. In my world it's the afterlife for non-human souls. A dreary, dark, flat place devoid of divine presence. Or anything interesting, I imagine.

Good thing that I'm not in your world, then. Otherwise, I could sue for discrimination.

I hope the rain does not last so long that we will need a ship like Noah's, Lord Saxon.

[She's a little water-logged, but not quite looking like a drowned rat.]

How are you faring, aside from our current predicament? I trust you have been well?

[Video] soundsofdrums June 19 2011, 22:47:59 UTC

Well enough, considering the circumstances. And yourself?

[Video] capuletnomore June 19 2011, 22:59:38 UTC

I could wish for a more solid roof over our heads, but other than a little wet, I am well.

[Video] soundsofdrums June 19 2011, 23:10:14 UTC

Good to hear! If the pattern keeps up, we'll just have to try not drowning for a week.

A giant boat?

[Video] soundsofdrums June 19 2011, 23:09:41 UTC

Yes. We could all get together on it, have a nice little party, and sing songs until the rain stops.

[Video] kyasdaughter June 19 2011, 23:14:26 UTC

I really don't know if that's a good idea. [But she seems to be humoring him.] You're on high ground though, right?

[Video] soundsofdrums June 20 2011, 00:08:09 UTC

High enough ground. And I think that it's a brilliant idea.
