To Whom It May Concern,

Based on the current cycle of the moon, Easter ought to fall on the 7th Sunday from today, which would make tomorrow Ash Wednesday. I do not expect that a great many here share in these traditions, being that we are refugees of countless lands. I wish only to ask if any have attempted to establish the faiths of our home lands here in this new one, if there exist places of worship outside of the temples of Olympia and Wyver.

With sincerest thanks,

U.F.

There are a few hours yet for feasting and celebration if you so choose.

will it be enough to arrange the parade and pass out the beads? I need a full scale get down or the whole experience is just inauthentic

[almaredemptoris]

If you set your sights on only the excesses of Mardi Gras, then you miss the point, stranger.

[summertimeblues]

It's the best part though

ever make it down to New Orleans for the holiday? That's a celebration worth having

America would be quite a long way to travel. Or would have been a long way, I should say. I take it you have little interest in Lenten traditions then.

in my deep past i had parents and a congregation to hassle me into it. I live free now and I'll have my sugar and my smokes when I want.

And I'm gonna make a wild guess here but I need your participation, tell what you think of when you hear the word: toaster

Our concepts of freedom merely differ. [Then he does not understand Richie's objective, but he answers nonetheless.] One who toasts food, I suppose.

that's fair shakes. someone else already mentioned making a church out of the simulator rooms, that's probably the safest bet you'll have. These people wouldn't take kindly to a bunch of outsiders making their own place of worship when they were so very gracious to clothe and feed our homeless asses. They're all devout as the Pope. Catholicism might get shot down as heresy.

[Ah...]

In that case I'm very happy you've adapted to the magic talking box so quickly. Welcome to the future. A toaster is a revolution in bread consumption, please seek assistance with one immediately. You'll thank me later.

There is reason in your speech. I have been fortunate to live all my life in a country in which the vast majority share my faith in the Catholic church. I haven't considered another perspective simply because the need has never arisen. The technology in this city is astounding, it is true. I have little need for much of it, however. A simpler life suits me.
