[When you are an angel who has yet to entirely catch up with human invention, many things are completely mysterious to you. Like teapots, or telenovelas, or comic books. Angels didn't need stuff like that, but Cheriour decided that if he is going to be here, he is going to learn all he can about these things.]

Um, hello. Yes. I have some important questions. You see, I found some things in the city, and I want to know what exactly what their purpose is. I'm not terribly well informed on inventions, and people are the best source of information, so, erm, here I go.

First of all, umbrellas. What a strange name. Um-brell-las. Brelly-ums. Erm, what do they do? Are they weapons? Because I stabbed a chair in the tower with one, it's pretty sharp...but why do you need the cloth for it? I don't get it.

Second, what do you do with those weird blowing things that you often find in bathrooms? The ones that spew hot air in your face. Are they used for cooking? Like, if you hold one over food, it gets it hot. But why would you cook in a bathroom...?

And last but not least, please elucidate the meaning of this very odd thing I found on the bathtub yesterday.

[There's a squeaking noise.]

What is the purpose of having a small yellow rubber duck?

Why do you say "he"?

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

Because that is how we refer to Him. He is a He.

[parslunae.livejournal.com]

One who passes on Breath...yes?

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

Breath? As in life? Well, he gives life, and Death takes it away...

Unless breath means something else in your culture.

[parslunae.livejournal.com]

One who passes on their Breath is the one who contributes to the creation of life. Not the one who carries it.

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

Ah. Yes, then he would be the one who would pass on Breath in our world.

[parslunae.livejournal.com]

To everyone?

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

To everyone who was and ever will be born.

[parslunae.livejournal.com]

How is such a thing possible?

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

It is with Him. He's all-powerful.

[parslunae.livejournal.com]

There are no limitations upon god?

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

None that I know of.

I am sorry...I do not think now will be the time that I am able to readily accept such a notion.

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

That's okay! Like I said, take your time. It's not an easy concept.

[parslunae.livejournal.com]

I...will. This requires much dwelling upon.

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

[A pat on the head.]

I'm here if you have any questions, okay? Remember that.

No, I was just...surprised. Thank you for this kindness.

Um...no problem! You're very welcome, young Yllit.

[parslunae.livejournal.com]
