It's odd to watch the weather grow cold here. It was winter when I left Viron-- although admittedly an unseasonably warm winter-- and summer when I arrived here. Have I lost half a year, or gained it? Certainly it's unusual to have to ask such a question ( Read more... )

I probably wouldn't be able to understand any of it. What's Christmas like where you're from?

silk_for_calde December 4 2008, 04:26:56 UTC

Actually, we don't have it. Nor most of the holidays people have referred to in the City, really.

doujin_dork December 4 2008, 04:28:28 UTC

Ah- really?

So . . . this would be your first Christmas, then?

silk_for_calde December 4 2008, 04:59:40 UTC

Indeed, it will be. Though curiously, it marks a day when I received a great gift from the Outsider; I would have celebrated it anyway, were it not a holy day, here.

doujin_dork December 4 2008, 05:42:46 UTC

It's really great! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

doujin_dork December 4 2008, 05:43:05 UTC

What kind of gift?

silk_for_calde December 4 2008, 06:38:54 UTC

I'm rather looking forward to it. I enjoyed Halloween and Thanksgiving immensely.

The Outsider-- a god of my whorl, if I have not mentioned-- spoke to me on the twenty-fifth of Nemesis, as we call the month.

doujin_dork December 4 2008, 08:10:34 UTC

Mm, that's good.

Ah- Really? That's really impressive! What did they say?

silk_for_calde December 4 2008, 21:36:48 UTC

It was... as though the world had stopped, and in the time past time, I heard his voice. That he had always been speaking to me, but that I finally heard it.

He told me to save my manteion; among a great many things. But in a sense my task may be the most important among them.

doujin_dork December 4 2008, 21:39:31 UTC

Woah! That's pretty impressive!

What's a manteion? Did you finish the task, then?

silk_for_calde December 4 2008, 23:34:37 UTC

It was an indescribable honor.

A manteion is-- I cannot remember the nearest word, if there is one. As an augur it is where I reside, where I offer sermons and sacrifices to the gods. A man was looking to buy it-- had bought it already, in fact-- for the price of the taxes we owed to the Juzgado.

I haven't yet accomplished my task; I ended up here in the midst of everything.

[Aaaaand that description probably just made everything worse, because what?!] Ah, well, I'm sure you'll do fine when you go back home.
