[video]

[When the video comes on it's pointed to the ground, then turns to a dog. A little dog, like some sort of fluffy little thing that just pants as it stares at the camera.

It inches forward. A voice is heard, extremely level and composed.]
Do not.

[The dog inches forward again. The voice behind the camera remains the same.] I am taping your crimes, do you really have no shame?

[Apparently not, because the dog yaps once then starts chewing on the fairly expensive looking shoe of the camera man. The camera man sighs as a weird, distorted snort is heard behind him. He reaches down and lifts up the dog, who seems extremely pleased and starts licking his fingers.]

'So he brought the people down to the water. And the Lord said to Gideon, "You shall separate everyone who laps the water with his tongue as a dog laps, as well as everyone who kneels to drink."' [The dog keeps licking. The camera man sighs.] You don't care, I see. Very well. It isn't your place in the tapestry of fate to care.

But for the time being it is mine to make sure you do not cause harm to yourself or my shoes. [The dog wiggles out of his grip and fucks off. He sighs and shuts off the camera before giving any useful information.]

[Judges 7:5, huh.]

I don't know that that little guy is one of God's finer instruments, but hey, you never know what a little training can do.

[Duo glances to the username of this post- a new one. Not a name he recognizes in any way. Interesting...] I'd say there are probably some dogs out there who understand the meaning of verse better than some humans do, though.

[Into is a... strong word. He can dig it.] This world resembles a good majority, I would say, of many imPort's worlds in a large number of aspects- much of the geography, science, culture... But there are, of course, outliers. Some come from Earths that don't resemble this one too much.

[And others yet weren't from Earths at all, but Duo was never one to give out the good freebies so early.]

Ahhhh, few of mankind's customs cling on more tenaciously than that of the march of Catholicism, huh? [Pucci gets a humorous chuckle.] Through every new frontier, even alternate universes.

Eh. Sorta.

[It's complicated, and you're kinda weird, my guy. Not going to be more specific than that just yet.]

...I think that if that's what you're getting from religion, you're missing the point of it. As for why it's stuck around so long, you might be closer to the truth... ["Gravity", huh. What a strange way to put it- ritual did have a certain power to it, though. He pauses thoughtfully.] Do I believe in Fate? Hard not to, around here.

Haha, it's not that, exactly. It's just ...complicated. [Half-truths.]

[Speaking of.]
...Not exactly the kind of 'gravity' I'm familiar with. [Hah.] But an interesting point of view. Something along the lines of charisma, right? Taking the saying that people 'gravitate' towards someone to heart.

[It was, legitimately, interesting. As the carrier of a rather ...unique mindset himself, he could hardly critique, but... He could also says that he had met such people before. Those that drew people together with their confidence, or the purity of their way of living. It wasn't a wrong way of thinking.]

I don't think it's offensive at all. But you'll quickly learn that Fate is the reason we're all here. Or Fates, as the case may be.

Yeah, something something acceptance, I got the idea. Anyway, is there something specific you're curious about? The pamphlets they give out here give a decent idea of things, but there's plenty of community information on the network, too.

[Oh. Well this got weird fast. Not that he's going to, yanno, let in on that--] ...I guess you got a point, charisma without a purpose to turn it towards is sort of a waste. [But what's your endgame, guy? Something to think about...]

Yup, that's the ones. Lachesis is the cruel mistress you get to thank for being here.

She was the Porter itself. Whether she is now is debatable; she hasn't been heard from a in a long time. Someone else will have to give you the details of how and why she disappeared, the last time. I wasn't around for it.

[More half-truths; he'd heard all the stories, and more or less knew the details from start to finish. But the more he talks to this guy, the more he sees his other conversations, the more he's cloaking his intentions.]

[He was a charitable guy- to those that deserved it.]


I've met plenty that thought they did. [And some that shouldn't have had it, but did.]

...Got that right.

Forgive me for presuming; plan to take up the oaths again, or continue your, ah-- dogsitting?

Not too different from what I'm used to, if that helps any. Of course, everyone's worlds vary. But Catholicism and all its merriment has seemed pretty consistent across the universes I've found it to have adherents in, previously.

...Guess we'll run into each other, then. Glad to have a brother in arms, so to speak.

[No he's not]
