...[What good's this gonna do? But either way, he listens. Hey, his parents taught him right.]

...'S real nice, man. Good, uh, sentiment, anyway.

accusedjonah May 28 2011, 07:06:52 UTC

I... It... Sometimes, it helps.

I-- I thought it...

[Confidence? He lacks it.]

justalildrink May 28 2011, 07:08:50 UTC

Hey. Don't you worry. Y'know, you gotta take what you can here, to be happy and all, right? With the fog and all, especially. So people should at least... y'know. Like the sentiment. Even if it's not so much their thing. Right?

accusedjonah May 28 2011, 07:14:54 UTC

[He might have actually chuckled. But it's weak. And... perhaps not reassuring, considering what comes next.]

To be happy... yes...

I'm not a Christian, but I appreciate the sentiment. Spirituality always helps during rough times.

accusedjonah May 28 2011, 17:01:07 UTC

Th-thank you. I... h-had-- had hoped it... might... provide some comfort.

leavinggod May 29 2011, 02:49:45 UTC

I'm sure that it will for some out there.

accusedjonah May 29 2011, 18:37:02 UTC

Th-thank you.

[She really should stop answering the phone when pissed off.]

At least you acknowledge that some of us don't follow the Roman's god. Maybe your best suited to find another way to console your flock.

accusedjonah May 28 2011, 17:02:01 UTC

I-- Y-yes, ma'am... I-- I'm-- I'm sorry. I-- I didn't-- I didn't mean to...

I'm sorry.

awhitephantom May 29 2011, 02:53:45 UTC

[This is a first, you make her feel slightly guilty.]

Why are you apologizing?

accusedjonah May 29 2011, 18:33:46 UTC

I-- I meant no offence, ma'am... I... I'm sorry.

I've never understood the draw of Christianity.

accusedjonah May 29 2011, 18:37:53 UTC

I... I was raised i-in the Anglican Church. I... I confess... I've never-- never seen the draw of... of anything else.

"Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light."

Psalm twenty-three. That's a little grim.

accusedjonah May 29 2011, 18:41:14 UTC

Psalm twenty-three... Yes...

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Verse four.

I... I thought of it... [recited it, even] when I-- I first arrived.

I... am not familiar with th-the other... though. What-- what you quoted. [From his tone, he's trying to figure it out, though.]

theotokos May 29 2011, 19:07:05 UTC

I remember that during the last church service I went to. [A funeral. She's not going to get into details.]

It's the Prayer to Saint Francis of Assi.

accusedjonah May 29 2011, 19:16:43 UTC

O-oh.

Catholic, then?
