Sgrios Mass Hosted by Bo 2008-11-23
Start Recording…
Boann: It will make sense to Sgrians, appreciated by Sgrians,
Boann: and comprehended by Sgrians.
Boann: If you don’t understand them, appreciate them, or it
Boann: doesn’t make sense to you, you may not be Sgrian.
Boann: The door is always open at the back of the temple if you
Boann: wish to leave.
Boann: We don’t trap you. You come by your own will.
Boann: You’ve been warned.
Boann: *raps her staff on the ground three times* Silence!
Boann: Let us pray.
Boann: *bows head reverently*
Flipside: *bows head*
Malphas: *lowers head*
Elphame: *bows her head gently*
Boann: Destroyer, Father of Plagues, He who shall not be named…
Boann: Let Your all consuming eventuality strike within the
Boann: hearts and souls of those gathered here.
Boann: The final times are Yours and Yours alone. For this
Boann: understanding, we thank You. For in this, we may
Boann: truly live a life, rather than telling lies to
Boann: mask our own doom.
Boann: There are no second chances.
Boann: Ia Sgrios.
Chou: Ia
Elphame: Ia Uggae
Malphas: Ia
Boann: A most interesting thing happened shortly before mass.
Boann: I was called to mediate a sale of property.
Boann: The items in sale aren’t of note. What is of note was
Boann: that after it was all done, I was offered and given
Boann: a gift of a warranty bag.
Boann: So here it is.
Boann: *holds up a green sack*
Boann: What do we need with them?
Boann: Most people say for protection.
Boann: So you don’t die when you have them? No you still
Boann: die.
Boann: But here is where it gets ugly.
Boann: The warranty bag is heresy upon this fellowship.
Boann: What happens when you die in battle and you don’t have one?
Boann: As has been happening since before I was sparked…
Boann: We lose. We lose a lot.
Boann: If we had something that was perishable, it left when you
Boann: died.
Boann: Sgrios takes His share.
Boann: Your other things drop below your destroyed body.
Boann: And if you are so lucky to be thrown back into life, you
Boann: are naked and must retrieve your things.
Boann: But what now?
Boann: What now is that we have these…. bags.
Boann: This things that prevent us from ever feeling the pains
Boann: of death.
Boann: The lesson learned, the hard way.
Boann: A reminder that you should deposit that 30 million in coins
Boann: you are carrying before you hunt.
Boann: A reminder that maybe you should bank something of high
Boann: value in case you die and pillagers get to your body
Boann: before you.
Boann: It reminds you that death hurts.
Boann: All of these are lost.
Boann: Taken away.
Boann: An afront against Sgrios Himself.
Boann: The destruction caused to you is in effect, nullified.
Boann: And where does that leave you?
Boann: Just as sloppy as you were before.
Boann: Because you’ll be happy to go again with your warranty
Boann: bag you’ll use next time.
Boann: “Tee-Hee”ing and skipping along.
Boann: Knowing there is no real danger for you…. what could
Boann: you possibly worry about and try to be better for?
Boann: It makes you lack luster and mediocre at best.
Boann: Because then “what does it matter”?
Boann: You won’t fight very hard because you have nothing
Boann: to protect or defend.
Boann: A bard once said… “Without the threat of death, there is
Boann: no reason to live at all”
Boann: No truer words have been sung.
Boann: So this brings us to… why do some Sgrians use them and
Boann: others do not?
Boann: It really is a good reason.
Boann: To me, it is heresy.
Boann: But to others, such as Malphas, it is not.
Boann: Isn’t that so, Malph?
Malphas: damn right. Sgrios has no use for our pathetic trinkets
Boann: Ah, see. A sound reason indeed.
Boann: In all things, our end will come.
Boann: When our spark is passed into the chaos, when Sgrios no
Boann: longer returns it to our body…. in that… no bag
Boann: will save you.
Boann: Our only dogma is that we have no dogma. Ia Van.
Elphame: Ia Van
Malphas: Ia
Chou: Ia
Boann: Let us pray…
Chou: *bows head
Boann: *bows head*
Malphas: *lowers head*
Elphame: *tilts her eyes to the floor*
Boann: Let the pains wrack our bodies from each and every death
Boann: we are allowed to experience.
Boann: Take Your fill of our life.
Boann: We cannot hold any concept of when we shall die, but
Boann: we thank You for each and every day we are allowed to
Boann: live. Ours is too short.
Boann: Let us remember to make it something worth remembering
Boann: when we are long gone
Boann: Ia
Malphas: Ia
Elphame: Ia Sgrios.
Flipside: Ia
Baratrox: la~
Chou: Ia
Boann: Come and experience Him.
Boann: ((”Mass is cast”))
