[Action - Good Spirits, early evening]

[Every society, no matter where you go, has a way to get drunk.

Ginia muses on the thought with a faint smile as she sits in Good Spirits, sipping at a milkshake with a few shots of Baileys in it. It's been a strange, long day that's ended with being shot and bleeding out on a run and beginning anew in a strange village with wings. Worse was a lingering feeling she knew the village, somehow, in some strange way. It was impossible, she was sure she would have remembered being here. But the feeling was enough to get her back on her feet, into a clothing store for a fresh set of clothes, to the item store to pick up some supplies, and to Good Spirits.

She sits at a table toward the side, alternating between watching people as they come in and reading the guide provided in the journal. It's an interesting thing, the guide, and she takes her time memorizing information.

Later in the evening, she ventures out with some questions on the journal.]

[Written]

It's an interesting thing, the journals. Written messages, audio messages, being able to address everyone as a whole, talk to individuals, send private messages, never runs out of pages, and looks like any regular sort of book. Tidy bit of technology, or magic I suppose. I like the guide too, very well-written and informative, my thanks to the author.

Anything else a New Feather should know about? The little local sorts of things. Legends, stories, suggested dishes to try at the restaurants, the dos and don'ts, those sorts of things. Give me your best. I have time.

By the Church? Of course. Abel makes sure of it. [For other people, they might have gotten suspicious. Luce on the other hand sees it as an honest question.]

[Ginia makes a mental note to talk to Abel later even as she mentally kicks herself for getting involved in someone else's business.]

What do you do as Judge?

The Judge of the Faith of Sancia. [He says his full title.] I do exactly as it says, the church has laws it has to follow, and I ensure they are followed. [After all, it isn't too hard to fall into line. He should know, he does it.]

Such as decide if something was purposeful or not. [Although at times, the Church decides and said he did. But its the church, it knows better than he does.]

How do you decide if something purposeful? Off certain guidelines set by the Church?

Correct, [and his own abilities, but- he was told to keep those underwraps. after all, who am I to question it.

What do you do with the things that aren't purposeful?

It depends on the crime, I think the three most common are execution, torture or a fine.

[That execution and torture are listed before fines disturbs Ginia. She expected it on some level, having read up on her world's history, but it doesn't make it any less disturbing.]

What sort of things warrant executions or torture?

Murders, rapes, kidnappings: usually those get the executions sometimes there are others. Torture has things like heresy, theft, producing an image of a holy figure...

[Murders and rapes and kidnappings. She can understand that and can't argue against it either. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, but Ginia can't deny tracking down and eliminating scum was a large part of her life.]

Producing an image of a holy figure? Like artwork?

Correct, such as of a priest or trying to draw the deity.

How is that worthy of torture?

You're not supposed to do the images, it is repeated often in the art circles.

Is any kind of artwork allowed? Or plays or songs?

Not of the holy figures, [Luce says this easily, yet firmly, as if stressing it to a child.] Because that would do things like make people think of the Deity with a sex or make people not think in a past life they might have been part of the church's hierarchy because they don't look a certain way.

[Ginia considers his words, seeing the logic behind it, though torture still seems a little extreme. But then again, she's not from a world where theocracy rules.]

I suppose that makes sense. For a moment I was afraid all artwork was banned. That would have been tragic.

Oh no, just ones directly of holy figures. Most artwork is landscapes though, because many others are also concerned with the life-death-rebirth possible bias.

How about music or plays?

[She pauses, then adds on to her message with a sheepish smile.]

And I'm sorry for all the questions, but I find this utterly fascinating.

I don't know much about those two from experience, it is alright to have music- as long as it doesn't describe how the holy figures look. And plays, again- no showing of holy figures. [He nods]

It is alright, I love talking about Sancia.

I can tell you love your home very much.

I do, it is the best place to ever be. I wish I could show it to you.

A kind offer to make. [It surprises her slightly he would offer that. Then again, she's the cynic that wouldn't want anyone to see her world.

Faintly, she remembers something in the back of her mind, another distant promise to see another world. Romania, a castle. It's all that sticks out.]

[If Luce was using his abilities he would question the sudden castle, but he wasn't as he smiled.] Sancia is the best place, a role for everyone, the economy is good, lots of fields.

What's the weather like? Hot summers and snowy winters?

Very hot summers and very snowy winters, I live in the Central City so we get a little bit of both. Lots of rain in the spring, which is when people tend to vacation.
