[Silk is seated, presumably, in front of his computer; a large red 'T' is emblazoned on the plain black shirt he generally wears in lieu of proper augur's robes. He does not begin to speak immediately, contemplating his image on the screen, stroking at his cheek thoughtfully.]This curse, although it encourages a kind of honesty most

VOICE; WHY MUST HE ALWAYS BE TL;DR LOLOLOL

[marsattacked]

Are you sure the T doesn't stand for Tricky? I find it really hard to see you as anything close to a Thief or a Traitor as possible. Even wth your explanation of it all.

Wait, if we're talking about negative qualities being epitomized by the letters, then what does mine-- Oh. [Pause] So it's not Radical, huh.

[Voice] || he believes in being fully honest and explicit about everything ahahaha.

Although theft is wrong, many thieves are good men at heart. What one does isn't the same as what one is, and Pas loves all men and women, regardless of their misdeeds. Besides, I hardly think I'm tricky-- I do my best to be honest, unless I have no other choice.

That's merely what I've inferred from others' comments-- I could be wrong. I'd rather be marked as a theodidact than a traitor, after all. You are something of an extreme personality but I'd hardly number that as a negative trait.

[Voice] || hahahaha he's just so <3<3

Hearing you say that makes me feel a little better about myself. [Shifting as she moves around with her voice communicator; she only says this because she's a thief herself] But I agree. Sometimes things do need to be done out of necessity, isn't that right.

I'd much rather be Radical than what I'm thinking my letter stands for. Considering half the people on the network are jumping around making claims it stands for a sin, yeaaah, I doubt mine means Radical anymore, but thanks, Silk.

I think if your T means either Traitor or Thief, you had your reasons.We shouldn't be judged for something we might've been forced to do under situational circumstances.

The law judges, but only to keep citizens safe; in a moral sense, no man has the right to judge another. That is reserved from the gods, whose eyes do not see as mortal eyes do. Only Pas knows his Plan. We must do our best to behave well and do no wrong; but we can be forgiven as well, provided we ask the gods for their grace.

I am sure that, whatever you have done, you've had good reasons. Bad deeds do not make a bad person, and I feel no doubt as to the quality of your character. If you ever wish to be shriven, Veronica, let me know.

I need to learn more about references from your world just to double-check I know who's who. [A small laugh from her side, she's busy getting something out of the fridge.]

Not so much what I've done, but what's been done to me. Woah, did you just say shriven? You guys do confessions? Really?

[Voice]

[silk_for_calde]

It can be complicated, I'm sure. [Soft laugh] I have been trying to learn about Earth's religion, and-- well. Not only are there a number of gods, there are a number of pantheons as well. I only manage to remember them by trying to find parallels to ours.

I see. I-- well. Yes, we do; it's part of an augur's duty, to shrive individuals and offer them forgiveness in the name of all the gods. Generally meritorious acts are committed by the shriven person as well, on the augur's advice.

The Greek is the worst and most brutal, I just gotta get that out there. Have you managed to find a lot of similarities in it?

[Pause] I don't know about talking about it right away or anything. But -- it's nice to know if I ever do want to, I have you to talk to it about.

[Voice]

[silk_for_calde]

I'm finding the Greek fascinating. The structure is not dissimilar in some ways, and some of the symbolism, though it's not always used in the same way. Our Echidna, for example, is depicted as serpent-maned, though she is the queen of the gods, not a monster like Medusa. And some of the names, mostly of minor gods and goddesses.

I would not push you to speak if you aren't comfortable; but I am here, as an augur and as a friend, if you ever need to.
