Do many of you go to church? I'm not a very religious person but I do find church buildings comforting and I would like to find one that feels right

If anyone knows of any big churches, or ones that are a bit under the weather (any size) could you please let me know?



Also while I'm here I'd like to say that birds are the best

[ this post also comes equipped with many image files worth of photographic evidence. somebody is having a good time at work ]

Text - UN: D33

[It's a good thing you can't see D33 right now, or you would probably see his eyes rolling into the back of his head - one of the only things that can bring about that reaction? Religion.]

You claim that you are not religious and yet you find comfort in churches and other "sanctified" spaces. Why do you suppose that is?

[He's not exactly looking to judge (okay, well maybe just a little), but he is curious to know her answer.]

[wingsit]

In churches yes. I did not say anything about anywhere else. And it's because I lived in one before coming here and while living there I was able to feel safer than I have ever felt before in my life.

[alcheregis]

Ooh, I've heard about churches but I don't think I've ever gone into one since I've been here. Are they really grand?

[wingsit]

I don't know about the ones here I haven't really explored yet but the one I know back home was grand and beautiful yes :)

I go to Church every Sunday. It's just a small Church in Heropa so it's not as grand as the really big ones, but they're nice there. They do a lot of charity work and they were the first Church I could find that treated imPorts the same as anyone else.

I can send you the address if you like.

[wingsit]

[ it is, as always, a vague surprise to remember that imPort status tends to touch you wherever you go here. but reminder aside, this description of the place warms her up - they sound like kind people, there. ]

That would be lovely yes please. Do they let people in during the week? I wouldn't want to intrude on the service when I am not really participating but I would like to be able to visit and maybe to volunteer to help them

I wouldn't consider myself religious either, but I guess I could find them comforting too.

How do you make the images of the birds?

[ The important question here, from Ms. "Fantasy World Has A Lot of Anachronistic Aspects But Not Photographs". ]

[wingsit]

Would you like me to let you know if I find a good one?

Oh! There is a camera on the communicators they gave us. It can take still images of whatever is in front of it as well as videos

[ cute....... can I help...... ]

[hellrisen02]

[You have attracted one (1) priest to your post! He's wearing the collar, anyway; so he must be one.]

[Smiling cheerfully, he gives a wave.] Hey there! What city do you live in? And what denomination? Maybe I can help you find somewhere close to you.

[wingsit]

[ oh, hello there!! the sight of the collar is a welcome reminder of home, but for now there's no sign of the smile on her face if only because video isn't an overly convenient medium when you're a mute girl and have to keep texting anyway so it tends to slip her mind to even bother awhoops ]

Hello and thank you! I'm in Maurtia Falls. Oh I'm sorry I don't actually know, I think we were the only church in the city or at least in the part where I lived

[ the struggles of the underground and not knowing that there are even questions like that to ask ]

Oh gosh I love those birds photos! Did you take those?

[wingsit]

[ !!! bird appreciation! ]

Some of them!! The duck butt and the pigeons were from people who know I like birds but the rest were me taking some photos of the birds at work

[bookkeeper]

I'm not a church guy but I'm familiar with some nuns and priests.

And what's that about the birds? Which birds?

[wingsit]

Really? Here?

All birds!

[ every birb is the best birb ]

[nightmarist]

[A fondness for birds is the quickest way to Ronan's heart. An interest in church is a bonus, whatever the reason.]

there's an old church on my farm

you can visit it if you want

[wingsit]

[ oh!

oh that sounds very nice actually, old church and the idea of it being somewhere more remote than the middle of town ]

Are you sure? I would like to please if it's alright

[ghoulking]

I used to have a bird, a parrot. He could only say "loser" so that's what we ended up calling him.

[wingsit]

Hahahaha oh nooooooo, Loser the parrot
I love them they're so silly

Do you mean a sept?

[ He hasn't questioned any of the religious imagery or practices of this world, actually. He probably should have done that earlier. I mean, if these people aren't drowning people or praying at trees, what are they doing? ]

[wingsit]

[ she's consulting the interwebs and all they're telling her is that a sept is a split of an irish clan???? hm ]

I don't think so? A church is a building where people like to go to be nearer to God so if that is also what a sept is then maybe!

Bird are nice, but I like dogs too.

[ Lies. He thinks dogs are the best, which is why he's just going to send her a video because what is self-control. ]

[wingsit]

[ ????? ????? !!! ! !!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

THIS IS A VERY GOOD DOG

[ spoilers: she loves dogs too ]

I guess birds are cool, but I'm more of a cat person. Look at how badass this one is.

[Attached to the message is a picture of a very cool cat.]

[wingsit]

[ when will people stop killing her with animals ]

Oh no.......... oh no this cat is the coolest and knows it

[namesaquestion]

Huh. So they do have animals like pokemon here.

Hmph. I guess the first two are cute. [Not that it'll stop him from texting everyone from his world with the link to this post.]

[wingsit]

Not number four??? Even with his bottlecap hat?

Pokemon?

[Text]

[versusseeker]

[Birds are animals which are basically Pokémon which are absolutely the best. So, Red is very excited to see them.]

r they urs?

[wingsit]

No but most of them are from the sanctuary where I work. And the little egg with his head in a bottle top needs a bit of extra care and company so I might end up taking him home one day

[ does she need to tell strangers about her bird adoption plans? no. but she lov him and she's excited so ]

[fehus]

what even is that puffball one? he's awesome.

also, can you let me know if someone told you where a church is.

[wingsit]

I think he's a chicken. Can confirm there's a pen full of them and that they're all this fluffy and all the best.

I have had a few responses now, shall I forward you the addresses when I get them? One is in Heropa and the rest are Maurtia Falls if you've got a preference

[aberranthubris]

Those are some fantastic pictures. Did you take them yourself?

[wingsit]

Thank you!! Most of them. The duck butt and pigeons were from other people but the rest I took at work :)
