Sermon|Humontis

[tuo]

Adam grinned and shook his head. "Nope, I cant imagine how crazy someone would have to be to think that."

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp just smiled widely and accepted their food when it was brought, giving Drake the greater looking portion. She nibbled on a fried potato slice. "I'm told the vegetables and fruits here are the very finest. Then again, how does one improve on a potato?" She shrugged and took another bite. "Hot food is good food, I say. Well, my dears, after you've gotten your fill, do you think we should begin our sermon?"

[tuo]

Adam enjoyed trying a few things there that may not be very common back in the temple. "Mm..this is pretty good..I think the potatoes here really is better somehow.."

Drake worked on consuming his food while thinking. "Sounds good to me. But neither of us are familer with how these sermon's work outside the temple.."

[Kender Bard]

"You two will probably just stand around and look pretty while backing me up," Dreamwarp supplied, grinning into her mug. "Unless you feel confident about the ways of chaos to do a little preaching yourself. Adam might; all that scholarly goodness paid off. Well, we'll see. It's always best to wing these sorts of things. You be on your best behavior Drake." She let a hand slide towards his, touching just briefly; a little sign of affection, to take away the insult of her words.

[tuo]

Drake shrugged and took another bite of his food. "Yeah all right..i'll just step on some bugs while you talk or something.."

Adam nodded. "I'll help if I can but i'll try to keep from interupting you."

[Kender Bard]

"Thank you, boys," she all but purred. "Ready to go?"

[tuo]

Adam finished his drink and gave the rest of his plate to a random person nearby. "Ready!"

Drake chuckled and finished his own food and drink. "Now's a good a time as any."

[Kender Bard]

The person looked at the plate in considerable confusion. Dreamwarp giggled, leading the boys out. She pat Adam gently, and murmured her praise before taking the two into a somewhat open section that looked as good as any.

Wish I had a box, she thought idly, but figured she'd just have to make do her own way. Touching her sign and mumbling, she then spread her palms upward and shot two showy flames into the air to get the attention of others. "Ladies and gentlemen!" She waited until people were looking before billowing her cloak dramatically. "Do you ever stop and wonder at how easy it is to get into a rut in life? Get up, do your work, eat, go to bed. Get up, do your work, go to bed. The circle goes on and on, and there seems to be no end. What point is there to this life, I ask you? Life is but a fleeting moment in the tapestry of time! Should we not savor every second? Live life to the fullest! Embrace the good, the bad, the strange, the normal! Give yourselves to chaos!!"

She nudged Adam gently and whispered, "Got anything to add?"

[tuo]

Before Adam could respond, a man nearby calls out to Dreamwarp. "And just what is wrong with scheduling your life huh? I like knowing what i'm going to be doing at any given time."

[Kender Bard]

"Don't you like surprises sir?" Dreamwarp returned, stepping closer towards him in her sultry walk. "Have you never felt the giddy anticipation of wonder just before opening a present? Or felt the thrill of delight at finding some unexpected fortune? Bad surprises, too, can be a heady thing. Though they bring dire consequences, there is always a moment of rush. Your breath shortens, your heart beats faster. These are the moments that make life interesting, don't they?"

[tuo]

Drake eyed the man curiously, wondering how this will turn out.

The man looked back at Dreamwarp and snorted. "There isnt much point to stuff like that if you dont know if you'll be able to earn enough to keep yourself and your family fed."

[Kender Bard]

Ah. A family man. They were hard to deal with. The life of a Fluxian priest was generally a solitary one just because of that reason. There were ways of converting those with families, such as this man, but those tactics were best reserved for if you knew the person more intimately. She gave a bow to him. "You are right, sir," she conceded. "I can see that you've already selected your path in life, what with a wife and kids and all that. Soahc bless you, but what about yonder youth?" She pointed to a young man whom she would guess did not have the moral obligations this man did. "His life is just beginning. What an adventure it could be!"

[adris]

The boy looked about him, already experiencing surprise enough to be picked out of the bunch. He also didn't personally mind it being by her, he had heard a lot of these living on the mountain but none of them were delivered by a woman of such... caliber. Once he found enough footing to figure he should be responding now he did.

"Well, yes, I mean I was going to become a jem cutter like my father. Most of us follow in our parents footsteps you know? It makes education easier... I think."

That is what he had always been told, and it made sense then that every time a citizen died they have raised one to replace them. It was good for the money system. And it wasn't like they were forcing him to do that, it just always seemed like a good idea.

[Kender Bard]

"Your mind is a wonderful thing child," she purred silkily. "Look at the Minds in Sensatia; they think of new things all the time. Their only true rivals are us, in Flux! We think of new things every moment. The wonderful feeling of your mind racing, spinning out thoughts as fantastic and horrific as possible is intoxicating. The Forces gave us minds capable of so much, so why not use them? One could spend hours alone in a room with only his thoughts to entertain him and he would be getting his money's worth, as it were. Education means learning, not mimicry! Use that amazing mind that Soahc and Thouth thought to gift us with. Break out of the molds of the castes thrust upon you! I am a living example! My mother was but a poor woman living in the streets of Maelstrom. It is through the gift that Soahc gave us all, that of reacting in new ways to change, that allowed me to get to where I am today, living a comfortable and thrilling life in Flux. Why not take that first step to joining us?"

[adris]

The boy knew what she was saying, and she was obviously talented at selling whatever point that presented itself. Not to mention that she had a voice that one just loved to listen to, no matter what it was she was actually saying. There was a lot of things that held him back though.

"That sounds great and all, but here at Humontis the forces are all powerful of course, but they are guided by the hand of the Earth mother. There are leanings, and all six points of the world are important... but, ummm... "

He didn't want to seem rude, she had come all the way from Flux itself it seemed. His words were the ones that came from his priests during every temple gathering. Though... he could stay with the earth mother with consideration leaning towards Soahc. He was quite impressionable, especially when it comes to Dreamwarp or any lady like her to be honest.
