[ Lukius has been around for a bit, settling himself into Luceti, and while he's spent a lot time lurking on the journals today's his first attempt at actually posting to them. He starts simple enough with a written post, feeling slightly sheepish about the questions. ]

How many of you have a Church or similar in your worlds? Can you tell me about them?

[ He's more than a little curious about the way things are run outside of Areulla, especially considering how well that seemed to go over for them. A few moments after, he switches to voice. ]

If there are others from Areulla here, those who are friends with Caius should know he's arrived safely.

[ And this is hesitation. ]

[ filtered from rommy — but it's a measly 20% or so ]

A young girl named Rommy has also arrived here from my world. She ... may appear harmless, but I'd like for all of you to keep in mind she's not what she seems.

That is all.

She used to be a friend and an associate. I don't mean to cause her trouble as long as she doesn't cause it for herself.

[ That's all. ]

Very considerate of you. [A touch softer tone, if you look for it.]

I would answer your question if I had experience with any kind of church.

I don't know if I'd say that. [ He's not guiltless about calling her out on the journals, necessary as he feels it is. ]

So worlds exist where it holds no influence at all, or doesn't exist. [ A pause. ] Do you have no widely spread beliefs at all, or ... ?

To warn others despite your own feelings is something close to consideration, if not quite that.

[A moment to consider the question.] If they are, it's never anything that's concerned itself with my affairs. There are legends and stories from ancient times, but that's simple folklore.

It must be nice living in a world without that.

[ From his perspective. And it takes him a while to ask, but ... ]

Is discrimination prevalent regardless?

[temzan]

I wouldn't know the difference.

[Now that makes her silent. Not so much from her personal experience, but...Ba'ul.]

Yes. There is.

[ Silence is worrisome, and the reply moreso, but he's no leader in Luceti and he doesn't feel he's got grounds to press on it. ]

I see. [ Lighter, more on a pleasant tone. ] Thank you, miss.

[For which she's grateful. It's not the best conversation to have with a stranger.]

If there is anything I can answer instead, I would be pleased to help...

Oh. I haven't gotten your name.

[Voice | Equally filtered]

[refused]

[ Which is understandable and Lukius expects it. ]

I don't think I've got any other questions at the moment. [ ... ] Lukius. And yours?

Judith.

Am I right to guess you've just arrived here as well?

[Voice | Equally filtered]

[refused]

Not necessarily just arrived, but ... I haven't been here for too long, either. Not even a month, I'm sure.

[Voice | Equally filtered]

[temzan]

Then it sounds like we arrived around the same time.

What makes you curious about churches?
