Hmm... Why don't you tell me a little about your home? Maybe I can find a common point to make it make more sense to you.

[ He's been asked to talk about where he's from a few times and he always is unsure what to say. Thinks... ]

It is a place called the Vatican. It is a nation built around the Church and Ministry of Darkness. Most people believe in at least one of them, but the biggest church is Alll-mer's.

[florescences]

Do you believe in any of them?

[ is marcoh religious? ]

The Vatican City I know of is pretty religious and has its own governance where the biggest church rules it.... Is that similar to yours?

[boxcar]

I go to church just about as much as the next person down the road...

[ Which is, in VATICAN FUCKING CITY, not zero. He goes to church a regular amount. ]

I think so? It is like... the home of most churches, if that makes sense? Or that's how people see it, as far as I can tell.

[florescences]

Oh, so... there are many different churches and religions in the Vatican City?

[ she tries to wrap her mind around this. okay. ]

Is the biggest church... the All-mer, you said? Is that one the most powerful?

[boxcar]

There are many gods, yes. The church does not make you worship just one. More is welcome, if you have the commitment for it.

[ Goofy polytheists. ]

Alll-mer is the Ascended One, said to be a human that rose to being a god.

[ whoa a pantheon. how very neat. she doesn't know how fucked up fear and hunger is.

she's thinking.... ]

It's wonderful to have such religious tolerance, but... hmm... I was going to say something about Catholicism, but it doesn't sound like it's in your Vatican City? Unless it is?

[ she puts a hand under her chin. ]

Let's say... it's kind of like if you get married, and your mother-in-law tries to interfere in your household but she shouldn't. It's kind of like that.

[boxcar]

I don't know Catholicism.

[ Says the actual literal Catholic, but it's just fantasied enough... ]

...I'm not sure if I understand...

[ WHAT IS THIS ANALOGY. CATHOLICISM IS THE MOTHER-IN-LAW? ]

[florescences]

[ is he actually catholic that's so funny

HE DOESN'T KNOW CATHOLICISM SO SHE WON'T FINISH THE ANALOGY. also, thank you ]

Your decisions should be controlled by you, right?

[boxcar]

[ Thank fucking god. Also yeah he's just genuinely a regular-ass Catholic dude... ]

...

[ He frowns, but. ]

Yes?

[florescences]

That's what I mean.

[ this explains nothing. ]

[boxcar]

[ He thinks about it. ]

Okay.

[ This isn't any worse than a typical Catholic lesson to be learned. He fills in the blanks for her. ]

I think I get it.

[florescences]

[ does he? does he get it?

elysia claps, pleased. ]

Great! I'm so glad. Your future should be your own.

[boxcar]

I think so, too.

[ That one he is definitely on board about. ]
