Really?

Okay, the first hour of this was cute, but really do you know how hard it is to tell your commanding officer you were late to a drill because you had to answer an email? Thanks for the K.P. Duty. What is this anyway, some kind of joke?

I must admit my surprise at how often we seem to get new people here. I'm Father Leo, and relatively new here myself. Let me assure you that you are not here by accident, though... you seem to be less aware than some of the others who have come after me.

I don't believe you're one of mine, but I will do what I can to ease your arrival. Everyone here shares a common thread in that we've had extraordinary pasts. Have you any recollection of what this is for you?

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

Aware of what? My past has been... complicated by things. Family illnesses. Like ancient egyptian diseases people thought long extinct.

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

Ah, no... No, I don't think that would be entirely relevant to the purpose of this place. This would be... quite a bit farther back than that.

Tell me... do you have any interest in ancient civilizations? I assure you the question has relevance.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

I like Lions. I always visit the MGM Grand to look at them. And I like the look of the Luxor. But I really haven't had time to delve into ancient stuff. Drying to go for a medical degree here.

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

We do have a doctor here who might be able to offer guidance there.

Are you with the Egyptians, then?

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

You have my undivided attention about the doctor.

And yeah it seems I am. Sekhmet. The more I think it, the more I kind of feel it fitting.

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

I don't know him well, but he is among the Greeks. He seems to be a good man.

Sekhmet. Welcome. My former name is Quetzalcoatl.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

I'll have to bug him later when I have some more free time. Thanks for the info and the welcome.

I have no idea how to say that. You're gonna have to teach me so I don't like accidentally say it wrong.

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure he'll be delighted, and you're most welcome.

It is a bit of a mouthful, isn't it? Almost as much as my current moniker, Leocadio Milagro Aquino Elizondo. There are reasons I usually just let people call me Leo.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

Wow. Yeah that is a bit of a mouthful. Where are you from that you can make your own acronym? ANd are you are if you rearranged the M and A you'd be LAME?

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

Originally? Guatemala. My family immigrated when I was quite young, and the rest of my childhood I grew up in Arizona. These days, I tend my flock in Omaha, Nebraska.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

Oh you're a four corners person like me. I grew up in Colorado.

So do you have a following as a god? Or uhm as something else?

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

I'm a priest, actually.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

What faith? I might not know about all the other pantheons out there, but I do know there are a ton of different denominations for a priest to fall into.

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

Catholicism.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

Okay, now I kind of know what grounds to address you on and stuff. I was raised to be respectful or at least I try to be. Most days.

So how does that work, you being a god, serving in the faith of another god?
