[ with the current week's effects, caelus has some people he'd rather run into more than others. his neck sports in frank, black ink, receptacle. he stands outside the church, reading the dirt message that claims the god bible hath been cursed. ]
[YALL WITH YOUR TATTOOS Lucas frowns very lightly on spotting it, doing that sort of sideglance of someone whose eye is naturally drawn somewhere they know it should not linger. Since he's covered almost head to toe, there's no ink on skin, but rather a projection of the words over the fabric covering the back of a hand: god's favorite chewtoy.
Frowning down at the dirt, though...]
I do wish whoever's made a sport of stealing it and returning it would stop.
[ lucas has a moment of safety before caelus lifts his gaze and immediately seeks out text. what? are we supposed to play polite like we don't want to know everyone's business? sounds like a waste of time when he already plainly asked lucas about the contents of his swamp box. ]
You think it was the same person each chewtoy--time? Each time?
[He's playing polite, at least!!! Damn. There are so many nosy people in this bar...]
I'd think that a reasonable guess, but the people here can be a bit unreasonable, all things considered.
[He's smiling but it has the energy of the :ben: emoji as he turns to face Caelus a little more fully. He folds his hands in front of himself, the gesture delicate.]
[ caelus had broadly assumed it was a case of the village bible being passed from willing soul to soul. now it's cursed. and also might be a single bible thief. ]
[ much as he super de duper would like to. so far lucas has been someone caelus quite enjoys latching onto. can't shift that into a full on pester. a delicate balance must be maintained. ]
[He's out here just trying to live his life and god keeps grinding him to a pulp.
anyway i aki genuinely can't remember if Lucas ever refers to the fantasy Catholic deity with pronouns so i'm celebrating pride month]
I follow the tenets that God teaches and walk the path laid out before me, yes. [A beat, and then:] You wouldn't happen to be from Robin's home, would you?
[ i'm sorry but also i'm laughing so i'm not that sorry ]
That's a hard one to answer. I visited her world, but, uh, the whole time I thought she was dead. She and someone else have said we met but I don't remember that happening yet.
[WHAT'S WITH PEOPLE HERE AND THEIR MEMORY PROBLEMS ALSO WHY DID HE THINK ROBIN WAS DEAD HELLO. He's so concerned and it reflects in his expression for a moment.]
I was only curious since she speaks of paths often, in relation to faith.

You really are the curious sort.

You don't have to tell me.

no subject
He IS A HATER, THOUGH!!!! Or, more accurately:]
There wouldn't be much to say, regardless. It's a statement that I disagree with.
[Maybe god loves to test him but it's fine...]

....... Is it the bible god?
[ he lasted 6 seconds ]
no subject
I would imagine so? The biblical god is the only god that I'm aware of... Rather, the only one in my own home, compared to those here.
no subject
You follow THEIR path?

[ an air of 'I'm reciting this' when caelus speaks of the aeon. he's had to learn a lot about space religion since he was made conscious. ]
I should read a bible that isn't cursed.
[ DO NOT LET THIS BOY DISCOVER CHRISTIANITY ]
no subject
But I'll see if I can find one that isn't full of cursed scrawlings, if you're curious.
[YEAH TIME TO LEARN ABOUT CATHOLICISM.]

I was helping some 'geniuses'-- [ self-proclaimed, can you hear it in his voice? ] --research Aeons. They might want to know about this god, too.
no subject
Mm... What purpose is the research for?
