When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

I've had a go of every alcoholic drink that's ever been made. If you're asking for comparisons, I'd say it's somewhere between ancient Egypt and that point where people were drinking crushed up cocoa beans in a nut.

So not good.

Some places have actually passable alcohol, though, so there's that.

[geonomy]

That's ever been made, really? [How does one even do that??] Wow, did you like... find some kind of secret Egyptian stash somewhere?

[onlyanapple]

No. I was there. I'm immortal. Been around since the Beginning.

Though I wouldn't recommend an Egyptian stash all the same. Their booze was dire.

[geonomy]

You were there?

[The immortal thing, he's not too surprised by. He's met too many weird things to be surprised by much of anything else anymore. But he was there since the beginning?]

Whoa - dude! [He's stopped walking at this point, totally in awe by this.] Were you there when the Big Bang occurred? Is it true that the stars were much brighter back than they are now? What did the dinosaurs look like? [He has SO MANY QUESTIONS.]

[onlyanapple]

[Wow, Allen. Did you pick an actual excitable puppy to date? Crowley raises one eyebrow behind his shades. ]

The stars were brighter, but that's what happens when there's no... y'know [he waves his hand vaguely at the sky] light pollution.

As for the rest, you're clearly of a scientific bent, so you're probably not going to like me telling you there was no Big Bang, nor dinosaurs, actually. There was a single Creator who did it all. [One finger points upwards/] The Big G.

In my world, anyway. Things might be different elsewhere, but don't let Him know I said that or I'd be in for a world of smiting.

[geonomy]

[....................... WELL that's disappointing, but hey, there had to be worlds where all those gods the people back at his home worshiped actually did exist! Because hey, there were definitely dinosaurs on his world, they have evidence and everything, and the Big Bang was definitely a thing. So no, everything Clay knows and loves is not shattering to the ground.]

Huh. Definitely different on mine, though I'll - uh, keep it a secret from Him? [Man, this is weird.] So the world was really created in seven days where you live?

[onlyanapple]

Hm. He started it 9:15 on Sunday the 21th of October 4004 B.C. He was pretty chuffed with it. Probably what made Lucifer so pissy, middle child syndrome, and all that.

[geonomy]

[Okay yeah there is NO WAY his world is that young, so this is definitely a case of a different worlds with different gods and sorts thing.

But this is definitely way different than what he usually hears, and he can't help being morbidly fascinated.]

So, wait, the whole... you know, the whole origin thing was just a case of sibling rivalry? And I thought there were just two guys?

[onlyanapple]

Of course it was. And there were lots of angels in heaven, when He made the Earth and then Adam and Eve.

...Lilith, too, I guess, but we don't talk about her.

Anyway, Lucifer got grumpy because the BIg Guy loved the Earth and the little mud monkeys on it more than HIM. He causes a shit storm, everything gets fucked up, bam. There's Hell.

[geonomy]

[Lilith? He doesn't think he's heard of that name... then again, he's not exactly into the whole religion thing, so he never looked too deep into it.

Clay pauses after that explanation, then gives a slow nod. Wow.]

Huh. That's waaaay different from what gets yelled at us by the extra devout people.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley gives a soft, dismissive snort, curling his lip. ]

Yeah, well. What humanity knows about what they so devoutly follow and what is actually true are two very different things.
