[ re: Dear God, I wish to thank you for allowing me into your domain, for gifting myself and my loved ones with many comforts and pleasures, and for helping us in our journey for a second chance. I wonder if you would hear a humble pagan's request? Where I am from, snakes are a sacred animal, and are themselves the path to redemption and rebirth. It would bring great joy to my heart if there were more snakes in Heaven. If there is anything I may do to please you, that you may grant this, I will gladly do it. ]
I see Anders has been giving out my number. Hello Euphausia. Might I inquire what the snakes are for?
[ is this a worship thing, or does she just want to have a snake friend. ]
Thank you for answering! In my homeland, there is a sacred place called the Orbwise Path, a cave where the holy serpents dwell. We go there to offer our prayers and the remains of our loved ones, that they may be reborn. But I suppose we do not get to keep the remains of those who fall here... So the snakes would only be able to offer spiritual comfort. Also I believe that Mr Majima would like them very much, and I wish to honour him as a cherished friend.

That's new.
Does the type of snake matter for this ritual/spiritual comfort?
no subject
Usually they would need to be large enough to swallow a person's body, as that is our funerary tradition.
[ i am sorry to inform you that they are horrible ball snakes and they look like this ]
no subject
I see.
I do not think allowing large man-eating snakes is a wise idea at the moment, considering.
Would a smaller one suffice?
no subject
Oh...
I understand.
A small one would do much to raise spirits, yes!
I do love all kinds of snakes, even if they may not be the holy beasts of the Path.

Anything else?
[ we will deliver a snake to your reporting tomorrow, i suppose. ]
