This is August. Leave a message and I'll get back to you. Unless you're a jackass who decided to track down my personal info instead of using the business number, in which case fuck you.

Promise you won't tell anyone?

[drewthetower]

promise

[whiteshroud]

Alright. Remember, you promised.

[He won't send a photo over the phone. Rather, August will get a mental image of a small cross shaped mark on his upper arm- it's either been burned or tattooed into the skin, it's hard to tell. The image shifts after a moment, showing Jun touching the mark and it now glowing at a larger size]

[drewthetower]

[Give him a moment--]

okay one what the fuck

two that is a weird cross and why is it glowing??

three WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT

[whiteshroud]

1 & 2 - I don't know! That's why I said it was strange.

3 - Something like that.

[drewthetower]

what the fuck I want telepathy

anyway uh have you tried googling "christian symbols" or w/e?

[whiteshroud]

You have a bird!

Yeah, but I haven't found anything. Dad's going to check with the churches to see if they know anything.

[drewthetower]

I can poke a few people I know and see if they recognize it, I'll just tell em it's weird graffiti or something

[whiteshroud]

Thanks.

If you don't have it, I can probably rule out the idea it came from the gate. But that means I'm back to square one to what it is.

[drewthetower]

have you asked any of the people from Not Here?

[whiteshroud]

No, I haven't. The Madrigals are still getting settled in and

[...]

I don't want to explain Christianity to Amal.

[drewthetower]

the Madrigals are just from Weird Colombia so they probably wouldn't know

god how do you even explain Christianity to people who aren't from here esp because like

explaining it sounds supernatural!! but 99% of the world don't believe in the supernatural! unless it involves God! but only in the past!!

[whiteshroud]

[ 💧 ] It's just Colombia, August. It's a normal country.

Yeah I have no idea. I imagine it'd be easier to explain the plot of the Nation Souls series to someone whose never played than explaining all that.

[You know, the game with the disney crossovers you can guess which]

[drewthetower]

look Bruno came through the gate I am gonna assume there is something different about their Colombia until proven otherwise

at least NS is all one thing and you might be okay with just Catholicism. but try explaining the Reformation and THAT fuckery

[whiteshroud]

How would you even prove that otherwise? Have you even BEEN to Colombia?

I barely know what went on with the Reformation myself so I'll pass on that.

[drewthetower]

no but

all I know is a monk got pissed at the pope and then the royals realized that hey, if they weren't Catholic they could get more taxes and then everything with Mary I of England and Elizabeth I of England and after that I told the teacher I really didn't care could I do my paper on something actually interesting

[Jun starts typing without really thinking about it]

Martin Luther. He and many others had a lot of criticisms towards church mandates and corruption in the papacy. He wrote up these criticisms in a list with 95 points, and nailed it to the church door- triggering the reformation.

The Reformation actually came to England during Henry VII's rule. He wanted to divorce his Catholic wife but the Pope wouldn't let him, so he started the Church of England that he led. He'd go on to have five more wives, and Mary I and Elizabeth I were his daughters who had differing views on the religious direction their country should take.

[whiteshroud]

[....]

Why do I know that?

[drewthetower]

I'm gonna guess not google?

[whiteshroud]

Of course not google! I'd remember googling it! ╰（‵□′）╯

It just popped in my mind like something I knew, but I don't remember studying it anywhere.

[drewthetower]

blocked it out until right now for some reason maybe??

[whiteshroud]

[...]

Yeah, unless I was Anne Boleyn in a past life, I don't think knowing about Henry VIII's relations with the church would count as so traumatic my brain repressed it.

[drewthetower]

I dunno man I know I blocked out 80% of my high school science classes because the teachers were dicks. it's possible

[whiteshroud]

Well that's unsurprising to hear. [August, not get along with his science teachers? That is the biggest untwist ever]

Look, I'd agree with that reasoning if I wasn't having visions of priests I've never met before and had a glowing cross show up on my arm.

[drewthetower]

hey at least I believe in science. I just don't believe in being a dick to teenagers you're responsible for

[There's a pause between messages.]

yeah okay good point
