[Horst is standing in a room with no defining features, you're WELCOME, Johannes.]

Come one, come all!

I never thought I'd want to say that again. I'll need to come up with a better catchphrase before I open the yet-to-be-named Night Club Extraordinaire.

Anywho, I'm off. Keep your chins up, the week's almost over.

[TEXT]

Usagi, I believe I've figured this out. Here is the real picture, as promised:

[OFFLINE:]

Horst has left breakfast/dinner for Johannes on one of the work benches. There are no guarantees as to how it will taste.

[Luckily the mention of the church is a hint for Horst]

Oh I see where you're going with this! Every fifth drink, you get a free baptism to wash off all the sins.

[text]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Something like that. Though, I'd best start blessing more holy water, if you're opening so soon.

[text]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I expect many thanks for the business I send your way!

Should I call you Minister, or Father? Pope? I never did learn religious terms.

[text]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

If you're uncomfortable with 'Father', just 'Yuca' will be fine. It was kind of a new position for me before I got here anyway, so it's not that big of a deal if you don't want to view me in that light.

[text]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Depending on how sober I am at any given moment, I'll probably use both. Or give you a nickname, I feel I should give you a heads up.

What denomination are you?

[text]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

That's fine with me. Whatever makes you the most comfortable.

Originally Catholic, but one doesn't have to follow any specific doctrine to seek me out for guidance.

[text]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

How late do you take...er, whatever you call people?

[text]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

We call them people too, Horst.

Anyone at any time. It isn't some kind of elite club, it's a unity and support through love.

[text // Private to Yuca]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Really? I'd just call them marks. [He's teasing. Stupid text.]

Right... What are the coordinates?

[text // Private]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

For the church? It's [x,y], but I'm not there right now.

If you'd like to come by my house though, Rain has just gone off to bed, so I could afford a cup of tea or two. I can't say how good I'll be at actually 'talking', but.

[text // Private]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I understand. I'm only able to leave my brother at night, but it's really nothing important.

Well I only have one question, but it can wait until it's convenient for you.

[text // Private]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Now is fine, if you like? If you'd rather wait until I can actually speak, this event should be over in a day or two.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

[text // Private]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

No, it can wait. The event's rather pain in the arse enough, eh?

...Thank you.

[text // Private]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

It is. This is one of the more annoying ones, I think.

You're welcome.

[text // Private]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping to see one more like the moose...event. I've never seen one up close.

[text // Private]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

They were quite... large.

Larger than I expected them to be, anyway.

[text // Private]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Large enough to ride in style, I'd bet. Of course, I've heard they're testy little buggers.

[text // Private]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

If you like... moose, I suppose!

Do cars exist in your world?

[text // Private]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Cars? Unless you mean the ones pulled by locomotive, no.

[text // Private]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Like a train? We had a few of those, if I remember correctly. Not very comfortable to ride in, though.

[text // Private]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I lived in one for six months before coming here, and sometimes I think I still feel my bones rattling. Why do you ask?

[text // Private]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I was just curious. It's interesting to find out about the various technologies from the different worlds. One of my friends here doesn't know of any technology greater than a horse-drawn carriage, another was someone who puts machines together.

[text // Private]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

But what of your world, Father?

[text // Private]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I didn't know much of the machines in my world, other than the ones used to make war.

[text // Private]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Possibly because all machines are used in some way to wage war...but I take it there is a lot of bloodshed where you're from?
