Well, that's new.

I think I might be the first person to get hate mail in ancient Minoan.

I especially appreciate the handy-dandy translations on the side. Never woulda known what they were without them. Thanks, White. If you're really here, I'm so gonna kill you. For real, this time.

Most of mine are in Polish. The rest are like, in Latin.

...Mostly the ones with the hardcore blasphemy. Ugh.

[manticorean]

Jeez, who'd you piss off that would chew you out in Latin? Then again, I ain't one to talk.

[reckless_eagle]

...Well, I'd say "the Vatican", but like, most of them SO aren't saying very priestly things.

[manticorean]

Oh. Well, at least a bunch of old guys in dresses and funny hats can't really put up much of a fight, right? Unless they're loaded with heavy artillery under their robes.

[reckless_eagle]

I totally wouldn't fight with Vatican, anyway! I don't know what I would have done to make him angry in the first place, I've always been a good Catholic!

[manticorean]

"Vatican" is a person?

Oh. Wait. Right. The whole "personified country" thing. He should be an interesting one. I'd like to see what he's got to say about the Blue Lady.

[reckless_eagle]

"The Blue Lady"?

[...All that's coming to Poland's mind is that blue is the color of the Blessed Virgin.]

[manticorean]

I think you guys call her Mary. We never learned her name when we were kids.

[reckless_eagle]

Oh, Mary! Vatican thinks she's totally cool.

[manticorean]

Yeah... can't really say the same, myself.

[reckless_eagle]

...Like, how come?

[manticorean]

She let me down.

Well... not me. My brother. It wasn't her fault, really, but I can't look at her without flinching a bit.

A lot of people lose faith, when bad shit goes down. But like, it's way important to remember that God is there even when it's rough! Even Christ worried that he'd been abandoned, on the cross.

[manticorean]

Maybe, but I'm betting Christ didn't have to kill a brother who went on a misguided killing spree.

[reckless_eagle]

He like, took on the weight of all the sins of mankind, even though he was sinless, and for all his trouble the people of his time hated him and betrayed him. I think he's got more room to complain than like... y'know, like, anyone.

...I am sorry, though. That sounds way rough.

[manticorean]

... nobody ever said a messiah's life is supposed to be easy.

It's cool. I just wish it didn't have to end like that.
