Rikku has a question! [voice post]

[knowshermachina]

When the recording starts, there isn't much sound beyond waves hitting against the side of a metal ship, and the faint sound of breathing. But this doesn't go on for very long before Rikku starts to talk.

I was wondering, what do people here think about 'religion'? It's 'cause I was talking to Yunie about it the other day, and we're never, ever

That....kinda sounds like a weird religion, no lie.

I dunno, I'm not really that religious, I guess. My mom was raised Catholic, which is one of the religions we have here, but Daddy wasn't and they never really, like, made me go to church or anything.

And I, like, know some gods, but I don't really worship them? Since I don't think they're still around on my world, just their own.

[voice]

[knowshermachina]

I think it's weird too!

Oh right, someone told me there are Gods on the community! I haven't met any of them.

What's 'Catholic'?

[know_sacrifice]

I just, like, have trouble believing that this Yevon whoever doesn't want you guys using machines--uh, Machina.

They're nice! Or, well, some of 'em are nice, and some of 'em just like to screw with people.

Catholicism is one of the religions that worship Jesus, who's, like, the son of God? And they're really uptight about, like, everything in the Bible, and can get really pissy when people try and tell 'em they're worshipping wrong.

[knowshermachina]

I don't believe he would either! Plus, we're always finding stuff, weapons and machina technology that we could use to FIGHT Sin. But they never cooperate, and their aren't enough Al Bhed to do it on our own.

Oh. That...most of that went over my head, really. 'cept the part about getting annoyed when you tell them they're doing it wrong. We have that same problem here.

[know_sacrifice]

Okay, that? That just sounds like a friggin' waste.

Whoops, sorry about that. I'd, like. Try to explain more, but I don't really know that much about it myself. Just the general stuff that everyone here knows.

[voice] These are all supposed to be voice! :P

[knowshermachina]

There are...supposedly there's something going on with the Crusaders now, they might be willing to use some Machina. I don't know. Dad wouldn't tell me much about it.

It's alright. I guess you wouldn't really understand Yevon stuff if I got into any real details.

Oh, I'm Rikku, by the way! I don't think we've met?

Haha, noted~!

[know_sacrifice]

Ooh, that would be good! Right? Who're the Crusaders?

Haha, nope, probably not.

I'm Mikaela! You were the one asking about the Cybertronians a while back, right?

[voice]

[knowshermachina]

They're an arm of the Yevon church. They try to defend the towns when Sin attacks, but...they mostly just die a lot. Sin is hundreds and hundreds of feet tall, and they're...well, they're not.

Oh! I did talk to you then, didn't I? I'm sorry. I've had a crazy time keeping track of everyone here.

[know_sacrifice]

Oooh, yeah. I can imagine the carnage.

It's all right! I don't think I know, like, a quarter of the people on here. There's so many.

[voice]

[knowshermachina]

Yeah. It's...it's usually pretty bad.

She sounds kind of distant for a moment.

But anyway! There are tons of people, yeah? I've talked to maybe a handful? A couple are even from ym world! Even if Gippel keeps lying about being from the future.

How long have you been here?

[know_sacrifice]

Yeah...

Tons and tons, haha. Ooh, are there? There's people from my world here too, though not any of 'em who say they're from the future... That's kind weird.

Oh, god, I dunno. Like, a year and a half?

[knowshermachina]

Well, see, I know he's off doing something with the crusaders, but he kept telling me that happened two Years ago. Which is crazy.

Oh wow, that's a long time! It doesn't get boring or anything?

[know_sacrifice]

Well... maybe not so much, in this place. I mean, I've met Cybertronians from, like. Four different worlds. Maybe he's on a different version of your world?

Well, sometimes. But, like, the viruses and stuff keep it interesting, and there's always new people, you know?

[knowshermachina]

Maybe. But I doubt it! I still don't get the 'multiple worlds' thing. So two of mine is even crazier!

Someone mentioned viruses before...They sound kind of fun!

[know_sacrifice]

It's wild, isn't it? All the different universes with Cybertrons are, like, different enough that we don't get confused. It'd be way too weird if there was, like, a duplicate, or whatever!

They are! Some of them. Some are just weird, though, and sometimes they can be, like. Scary.

[knowshermachina]

I'm kind of excited about viruses! I mean, I was reading about some of the ones that happened, and they sound fascinating!
