Fourteenth Manifesto

[proudambassador]

So this week, we are supposed to run around half-naked and jump into water?

I think I will not be participating in this, hm? I do not want to scar so many people at once. Do ask the good man who had my body. No, no, I think the Great Maker would quite understand my reluctance to be a part of such a thing, yes? Be it given to us by the spirits here or not.

Instead, I will remain fully dressed. I do this for myself as much as for all of you, out of the goodness of my heart. You should thank me, yes? This way, you still get to keep all of your women, and the white of my skin does not strike blind the entire population.

Sir? If you must use a salutation, Ambassador will do. I do not command, hm? But my friends, they call me Londo, yes? And one can never have too many friends.

I will enjoy it. One way or another. If only to thank the Great Maker that it is no longer storming and that my house has not left me again.

Londo it is, then. I'm Allelujah.

Something like that is worth celebrating.

It is good to meet you, Allelujah. That is a phrase used by Earthers in worship, is it not? I have heard it, a time or two.

A roof. Such a little thing, and yet, it is so important.

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the phrase used.

The most important thing in the whole building, or in any kind of shelter.

So your parents, they were happy to have you, yes?

Yes. It is what keeps you dry, or from having things fall onto you.

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

I think so. Sadly, I don't remember those years.

Indeed.

No? I am most sorry. Family, they are an important thing. Even if you grow farther away from them with time, they are still there. The one event, it created new families, yes? Was something there that you could continue? It is a good feeling, belonging.

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

It's very important. Yes, the event - and this place itself - gave me a family, and a place to belong.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Then with them, new memories can be made, yes? A place to belong is an even more rare thing than a family. It is not to be looked down on.
