[Action]

[If one is out and about in the main city of Genessia, there's a good chance that they will bump into a man standing on a soap box, wearing a white robe and with gold trim. A middle-aged man, with white hair and a short beard. He's shouting at the top of his lungs and a rather large group of people have assembled.]

Gather round children! I have seen something amazing with my own eyes! Our god walks among us and has revealed himself to me! He has shown me the truth of his glory, and it was an experience that changed everything I knew about life!

He can provide us what we all desire the most! The innermost workings of our hearts are laid bare before Him! Soon, he will descend upon this world, and will bless the faithful, and strike down the wicked! Give yourself to the god that walks among us, and you too can share in the glory that is our merciful god!

[Kefka watched on from the shadows, pleased with the performance of the spell. He was worried it wouldn't work on a native of a world free of the Warring Triad's influence. He had to stifle the giggle that would've given his alleyway vantage point.]

[OOC: Replies will most likely come from the preacher unless otherwise specified.]

Ah, an honest-to-goodness street preacher. Ted had been hoping for one of these. Still, were the chances good that he meant what Ted thought? Only one way to find out. Ted struggled to be heard amongst the throng of people.

"Good morning, man of the cloth! Tell me more about your god!"

A lot seemed to be matching up...! Except the part about wrath being an essential quality of the trinity. Still, it was a different world. Maybe people knew the omnipotence differently, there was certainly cause enough for wrath in Genessia.

"I see! What would your god have us do as we wait for his return? What are his commandments?"

Similarities, failing! One last chance...

"Is that all then? Does he desire worship as well?"

Ted was saddened. And yet, the fire from the preacher was a tad infectious, and he couldn't help but imitate his style, if only for a moment.

"Foul hierophant, leading the people astray! Your god is false, for he lacks that one essential quality, without which you are sounding brass! Repent, and cease your blasphemies!"

Well, that made him feel better. Heel turn, pivot, then walk away.

Yipe! Ted jumped. "It's-it's not his power I doubt, nor his temper. But I'm pledged to another, as you should be." Much less haughtily, Ted would try to creep out of this horrifying situation.

[Well this is a new experience.

She's just pausing to listen for a moment, then she shakes her head as though something was funny about this.]


No thanks, I've already got my god and he's enough of a handful.

(can't resist)

[That aforementioned god may or may not be the young man weeping softly outside of a shop where he applied for work, was accepted, but offered 10 an hour instead of 8.]

It should've been eight... Why couldn't it have been eight? Oh, the humanity!

[O-okay, he'll just pick himself up off the ground and give himself a pep-talk then!

How pathetic can a guy get, sniffling while dusting off his pants leg. GAWD.]


A normal shift is eight hours, right? Perhaps I can live with that, if it's eight hours I could do anything..!

[WAIT DON'T LEAVE WITHOUT HIM]

Coming!

[That sure lit a fire under his backside, because all at once Kid has no problems catching up with her. And his attention still manages to wander.]

...What's this? A street performer?
soundmind: (Default)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-12-06 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Preacher, more like. He's talking about some god of his or whatever.

[She smiles wryly, clapping Kid on the shoulder.]

And I was just thinking, don't need that--I've got you!

[personal profile] symmetrophile 2014-12-06 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He promptly puts a finger against his lips, uttering lowly:]

Preachers, proselytizers... I don't need that kind of attention.

[Like zipping around on a flying skateboard wearing a long black cloak and a skull mask is much more subtle!]

Hmm. I wasn't aware of any gods worshiped by the native population, however.
soundmind: (Talk ► blah blah blah words)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-12-06 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
You're right, you bring attention to yourself in a different sort of way.

[Like not knowing when to keep his goddamned (not literally) mouth shut.]

The natives don't really talk to us at all, this is a first. I mean, if this guy's a native anyway, but the foreign population of Genessia doesn't strike me as much for preaching.

[personal profile] symmetrophile 2014-12-06 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Looking at this preacher, I can't help but be reminded...

[He pulls himself out of his speculative reverie, but not in time to wonder what Maka meant by bringing attention to himself in other ways.]

Come to think of it, I never bothered to look for the usual trappings of institutionalized religion. Places of worship, statues, that sort of thing.

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-12-06 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...curiosity and investigating to learn is fine, but try to be careful about it. There were people that viewed Asura as god, after all, who's to say this one's god isn't the same way? Or any others out there...

[personal profile] symmetrophile 2014-12-07 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, that is food for thought. Albeit a mental meal with a rather bitter taste.]

Asura was undeserving, however determined to assume such power.

[His frown persists.]

However, you raise a fine point. Shall we look into this, avoid getting involved, or simply keep tabs on the situation if it should prove suspicious?
soundmind: (Smile ► Where we met)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-12-14 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I don't care what we do as long as neither of us is doing it alone.

[And that sappy line is followed by the offering of her fist for a fist bump, you know how to do these by now, don't you Kid?]

Meisters have to stick together, don't they?

[personal profile] symmetrophile 2014-12-14 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
The same goes for friends, perhaps especially here.

[Far from home, so far neither of them could have a chance of even detecting the wavelengths of well-known souls who have not found themselves exiled here with them.

Kid's familiar with the gesture, indeed, but it still takes all his effort to not insist that bumping fists should be repeated for the left hand as well.]

[ A god (well, sort of god) that's not the one the preacher is talking about watches from a slight distance. There's a snake coiled over his shoulders. A smaller one is winding around his fingers.

His gaze, rather than being turned at the speaker, is angled toward the shadows. There is no fooling someone like Bei Dou, who can easily tell where people are, what their thoughts are, and what they might be. He's not Overseer of Death without a reason. ]


How...enlightening.

[ Bei Dou sounds much more bored than people usually should be. ]
xuwu: (12_Hey Grim Reaper)

[personal profile] xuwu 2014-12-09 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Now, there is no need for that, is there? Although he does enjoy being challenged, if only because it was so pathetically embarrassing for those who tried to go against him, who could create life that ruled over death, and best anyone in battle.

His head tips to the side just a fraction, expression not changing. ]


Of course, Gods does not need other Gods. Do they now? So it is hardly of importance, however false it may be.
xuwu: (12_Hey Grim Reaper)

[personal profile] xuwu 2014-12-23 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Really now. What use is there to keep up the pretense when he's been seen through? ]

Now that's just pure ignorance. [ He pets a snake that suddenly appears out of nowhere. ] Don't you think?
xuwu: (07_A clean long cut on every)

[personal profile] xuwu 2014-12-29 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A mirthless and a little cruel chuckle is covered with one bandaged hand. ]

Saying that right in the face of one is the height of rudeness.
xuwu: (12_Hey Grim Reaper)

Oh, but I, in fact, do.

[Yuuki had been doing the usual, or as usual as she could now that they had been one member down since the young girl had gone. She had decided to just wonder through town and see what there was to offer. That was until the guy on the soapbox started to talk.]

God? Really?

[It was obvious she didn't exactly believe such a thing because why would a God want to bring people here only to take them away again. That just didn't seem right at all.]

I think I'll pass on giving myself to them.
kindprincess: (Default)

[personal profile] kindprincess 2014-12-09 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She crosses her arms over her chest, she still didn't seem that convinced.]

And what wrath may I ask might that be? ,small>[Didn't stop her from playing along however to see what would be said and to see if the guy was truthful or just insane.]
kindprincess: (Default)

[personal profile] kindprincess 2014-12-13 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[She quietly watched for a moment or two. It was rather impressive she had to admit, but never the less how was she to know if ti really was the guys 'god' and not just his own abilities. She knew there was no way to be certain about that.]

God is a very... interesting person, I guess. but sadly I'm still not interested. Sorry.
kindprincess: (Default)

[personal profile] kindprincess 2014-12-17 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
And I'll see it when the time comes.

[That's as much as she could really say about it honestly as she puts her hands to her sides.]

When the time comes of course.

[Fai just decided to sit back and just looked slightly amused at what was going on. In all honesty he didn't believe in gods except for one case and that was because he had seen them so hearing this was just hilarious in his mind. Gods wouldn't bring them here for no reason, they wouldn't do the things he has seen in his life. But even so in other worlds they either existed or people believed in such things.]

But if God existed wouldn't he show himself to everyone instead of just one person?
behindthefakesmile: (pic#8096949)

[personal profile] behindthefakesmile 2014-12-13 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'm pretty sure I'll be put under heretic because I'm finding it hard to believe.

[Unless he had evidence in front of him and not just words, then he won't believe any of it. Then again even if that was the case he wouldn't care anyway.]
behindthefakesmile: (pic#7850563)

[personal profile] behindthefakesmile 2014-12-18 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fai didn't look overly impressed.]

Sadly that honestly proves nothing. It proves you can do magic, nothing special about that. I can do magic after all does that make me a god? Not really.

[It didn't prove anything in his mind but then again how does one prove such a thing anyway,]
behindthefakesmile: (pic#8278110)

[personal profile] behindthefakesmile 2014-12-30 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just shrugs.]

I know magic to know what it is. But that is not the way to prove something exists when you have no way to prove it is not your own abilities.

[ needless to say, Marde Guille has been keeping tabs on two important topics, Fairy Tail, and Kefka. He's heard stories about the man and he remembered the brief engagement they had in the past. OF course, what the creature was capable of, Marde Guille did not know. Kefka was at least not human, thus making getting along with Marde Guille rather reasonable.

Kefka and him share some similarities at least. From the darkness, he watched. ]
