Space Jesus. Maybe there's somebody like that where he's from. We don't know.

[arclightning]

[ Mako squints at him.

He really

He wants Vyng to be wrong but on the other hand, he really doesn't know that Shiro doesn't... have someone like that. ]

I... guess we could ask him.

[spiritwalks]

Hey, it can't hurt.

[It absolutely could hurt Shiro's brain, but what Vyng doesn't know can't possibly hurt him until later.]

Do you wanna do it? Or should I?

[arclightning]

You do it—I mean, he's probably too busy to answer, and it doesn't really matter.

[ Buuut Mako is just scooting a little closer on the sand so he can hear Shiro's answer. Thank you, Vyng, now he really wants to know. ]

[spiritwalks]

Alright, pal. Leave it to me.

[He fishes for his Omni and shoots off a video message:]

Hey, buddy! You got a second? Mako and I have a question for you.

[shiro2hero]

[It won't take him more than a few moments to respond. But it's in voice, rather than video.]

Hey, Vyng, Mako. What's up guys?

[The sound of the waves in the background. His shift with the Wakers.]

[spiritwalks]

Jesus fucking Christ. That's what.



[What is context.....]

[shiro2hero]

What.

[arclightning]

[ Mako chimes in quietly and seriously over Vyng's shoulder: ]

Do you not have that in space?

[spiritwalks]

[Helpfully:]

Jesus fucking Space-Christ.

[shiro2hero]

N... No. No, we have... the curse...

You do know that's what it is. Right? It's a swear.

[spiritwalks]

Uh, yeah. We Cheese-is-fucking-Christ know that.

But who the hell are they?

[arclightning]

People keep mentioning it. Or saying it. We were curious. Our worlds don't have anything like it.

[shiro2hero]

Guys, it's just. A curse.

A fancy set of swear words. Using a religious figure.

[spiritwalks]

[Okay, he'll bite. Vyng doesn't mind sounding stupid.]

A religious figure?

[shiro2hero]

... Yeah. That's. The first bit.

Why are you asking me?

[arclightning]

[ A small cough. Mako's cheeks are flaring blue, and he shoots Vyng a sort of obscure, should-we-be-doing this sort of look. ]

...you seemed like you would know.

[shiro2hero]

I... know it's a curse.

That's. All I have for you guys.

[spiritwalks]

[If he notices Mako's discomfort, he doesn't call attention to it. It's just a curse, and they're all adults here. Right? Kind of?]

So which one's religious? Jesus or Christ?

[shiro2hero]

[Shiro's voice is abruptly muffled. As someone has let his head drop onto some surface.]

... both. It's one person.

[arclightning]

It's an Earth thing, right? Jesus Christ is, I mean. That's why everyone from Earth uses it.

[shiro2hero]

That's... really complicated.

It is from Earth. But only some people use it.

[spiritwalks]

So it's another way of saying "go fuck yourself".

[shiro2hero]

Not... really?

More like just... an explicative.
