[ a nod ]

Then I'll try looking around more. I have enough time to spare, at least.

[holyspirits]

Thanks, Koharu. [ there is genuine gratitude in their emotions. ]

Despite what I just said, have you been over to Candy Land yet?

[cupidsammo]

—Oh, yeah! I looked around a little, mostly ate the cotton candy...

[holyspirits]

[ a pause. ]

Surprised that shit wasn't stale. But that's a good thing. It's worth enjoying.

[cupidsammo]

Ahaha... I couldn't help it. It looked so fluffy!

[holyspirits]

That's how they get you. Like going to the movies and knowing popcorn's way overpriced, but it smells good enough you still fork over the ten bucks for it. [ that aside. ] I actually haven't been over there for a while. Maybe I'll head back to look myself.

[cupidsammo]

It's nice if you like candy, I suppose! But I think I might go visit the beach again.

[holyspirits]

The beach is one of the better places in this pocket. If I'm not in Twin Peaks, I'm usually there. I don't blame people for going back.

[cupidsammo]

Right? I love it there! I've never seen a beach so quiet, so it makes it really peaceful.

[holyspirits]

It's a little warmer than the beaches I've seen, but I never went to many before either. Sometimes it's nice to just go and listen to the waves.

[cupidsammo]

[ a nod ]

That's what I like to do, too. Or wade through the water for a little while.

[holyspirits]

At least it's calm enough you won't get washed away. That has to count for something, right?

[cupidsammo]

Is that something people usually worry about...?

[holyspirits]

You've never seen the riptides out in the ocean before?

[cupidsammo]

Oh. No no, I know they're out there, but it's not usually on my mind...

[holyspirits]

[ the emotional feedback is a weird, blank sort of thing. ]

Probably for the best. Beaches are meant to be enjoyed instead of thinking about stuff like that.

[cupidsammo]

[ huh ]

Maybe if you go surfing or diving often... I don't normally go in too deep.

[holyspirits]

I've never tried neither. But maybe I would've wanted to one day. There's probably an island somewhere in Heaven that's nothing but ocean though, so maybe I'll take a look when this project's over.

[cupidsammo]

I guess there's that one spot where you can walk into the ocean, but it's not the same as swimming.

[holyspirits]

Over in Oz, right? I... haven't actually been down there. The ocean, not Oz itself. But I don't think it counts the same either.

[cupidsammo]

Nah...

So you'll be able to travel around in heaven once we go home?

[holyspirits]

Yeah. I was able to before, but I settled here to help set up for the project. I can go to the different islands around here now, but I usually stick close since you're all here.

[cupidsammo]

Oh, that's good. What made you decide to come to help out?

[holyspirits]

Heard about God's project and I wanted to be a part of it. I don't... there's a lot of things God's done, or hasn't done, for me, but this was something I agreed with. It was something I wanted to see for myself, so I thought maybe being extra hands and eyes wasn't the worst thing.

[cupidsammo]

[ nod, nod ]

So, this is something that's pretty unheard of in heaven?
