[open to Investigators] Roll call and IC welcome/infopost

[howexciting]

Is everyone all right? I think-- cazzo!-- I think a roll call is in order. Leonardo da Vinci, present.

We seem to have found ourselves in the Afterlife, or some form of it. But where precisely, I don't know. Angels and demons in the same place... it's unheard of, in the stories of my time.

For those new Travelers, welcome to your first Jaunt. I am sorry it is not more hospitable... if anyone needs better clothes or any supplies, I would be happy to assist, if only I can manage to disperse this crowd-- Dio mio, this crowd! This is ridiculous!

... please, if anyone has found a quiet spot where I may hide, tell me? I am having a bit of trouble, here.

But the D'Angeline know a different sort of damnation than than the Caerdicci, do they not?

[protect_and_serve]

That is... a matter of some debate. But your religion is not that of the Caerdicci I have known.

[howexciting]

... no, I'm afraid it's far more restrictive, even from what little I've heard, though it does share at least one similarity.

[protect_and_serve]

What is that?

[howexciting]

They are both very strict on sodomites, insisting that not only is one to be thrown in jail for it, but that one will go to Hell for such things. Dante once wrote of Hell, and placed sodomites in the same Circle as murderers, usurers, blasphemers... and those who commit suicide.

Dante. Is he a theologian? A priest?

[howexciting]

He is no priest, no, but a layman. He is a renowned poet from Firenze, a hundred and fifty years ago. However... all in my time can be theologians, if they study enough.

Maybe it's different in your time, Maestro. But in mine, the pictures poets sketch aren't taken for truth, but strong feeling.
