Ah, finally. For a moment, I was worried I might need to exorcize the printer.

I'm Father Leo... Can anyone explain please what I've stumbled upon?

Really? That's...rather close by. No. NO!

Anyway, so how open minded are you exactly, Father?

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

And where are you located, Ebony?

As for my mind... Well, certainly more open about things than the bishop would like of me. But, you know how the saying goes: Minds are like parachutes. They only function when open.

Kansas City, Missouri.

Well then, that will help things certainly. This is a community for a special group of people. Do you believe in past lives, Father?

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

Ah, all right. Just a few hours' drive from here.

...oh. I see. That. This is the part where I spread my wings and reveal that I'm Quetzalcoatl returned to earth, am I right?

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

Well, that was an easy reveal. We get such a mix of awareness levels here. I try not to just dump it all on people.

Yes that's exactly it.

I was born with wings. The name came later.

So, who all is in my company here? Is this a Weekly World News reunion, by chance?

I think I actually made that publication during the Equinox last year. The picture is terribly grainy though.

If you're Quetzalcoatl, then you're the first Mayan to arrive so far. I'm Lilith of the Judeo-Christians. There's also Goliath and Queen Esther. If you like, I can rattle off everyone in all the pantheons, but it'll be a bit of a list.

...Lilith, the first wife of Adam? Not sure how to take that, all things considered. I'm going with "in stride" for now.

Well. Quite the mix, then, I'm guessing. And probably a distinct lack of Big Foot and Bat Boy.

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

Yes, though I prefer to think of myself as the first successful divorcee.

No, you won't be finding any urban legends here.

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

And considering the circumstances of that particular instance, it will never cease to puzzle me why the Church frowns on divorce the way it does.

Ah, that's too bad. Bat Boy's actually a nice guy.

Catholicism has always been very anti-woman. Apparently, we're just terrifying if we have freedom and individuality. No offense intended to you particularly, of course.

Are you serious or just teasing me?

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

There are a number of issues that I think the Church needs to re-examine now that the context of the world has changed.

No, no, I actually met him once. Some sort of comparison exposition or something. I had tabloid paparazzi following me around for quite a few years of my childhood. Ironically, that was the time when I didn't have my wings on display. I didn't learn how to bring them back until I was nine.

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

How did you manage to become a priest with such an open mind?

I'm sorry that they did that to you. It's not right to hound a child because they're different.

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

Many years of thinking for myself while being taught, and encouraging others to do the same.

Honestly, there were people around so often that it just seemed normal to me growing up. Being asked questions is a great opportunity to try to change the way someone sees the world.
