[Roxas pops up on the network, a green and yellow scarf around his neck with his Dedenne peeking out of his coat. Neither will complain about the cold. This is a first for both of them. The backdrop is clearly Ecruteak.]

So when's it supposed to start snowing again? Does anyone know?

[Vivi squeaks the same question. He wants to play in more snow!]

Oh yeah... do they have a Pokémon Santa here? It's Christmas this month, and I've never seen a Santa before other than the weird ones that are ringing bells. And if it's a person instead, isn't Santa supposed to ride around on a sled pulled by reindeer? Stantler are like reindeer, so I guess he'd have those here... how does he deliver all those presents in one night? Is there more than one Santa?

[These are pressing questions, people. Please enlighten the blond and his tiny squeak.]

That... sounds like what people do here with Legendary Pokémon. Are they gods, too? Or just super powerful?

[a_sin_for_him]

By some definitions, they could certainly be considered gods.

I don't consider them gods, but I'm of the mind that whatever great force governs the universe is beyond our comprehension. Anything that lives on the same level as us, is constrained to one dimension, interacts with us in ways we can conceive and understand.... To me, that's simply a very powerful being. Not God.

[All this god talk just makes him think of one thing:]

So do I have to believe in a god?

[a_sin_for_him]

No, of course not. Plenty of people don't.

[seasaltkey]

If I don't, won't the people who do not like me?

[a_sin_for_him]

Only foolish people you wouldn't want as your friends anyway.

I believe in a god. I don't care one way or another what anyone else believes, what does it have to do with me?

[seasaltkey]

[That's good to know.]

So it shouldn't matter what other people believe, as long as they don't judge you for what you believe in... that makes a lot of sense.

[a_sin_for_him]

No, it shouldn't matter at all. Whether someone believes in a god or gods, or which ones, is a personal matter. It can certainly be interesting to discuss and debate, but purely from an academic standpoint.

[He nods and gives Lust a smile.]

Thanks. I learned a lot!
