@Peperoncino
That's right. I just noticed there was a big, weird cube in this Lostbelt, and didn't think anything more of it.
[k]

@Peperoncino
I mean, sure, I considered investigating it and getting rid of it in case it turned out to be something dangerous, since it is so bizarre and all...
[k]

@Peperoncino
But I hadn't the slightest idea how to go about it,[sr]so I decided to just keep an eye on the thing.

(Not to mention Daybit told me[sr]I was better off leaving it alone.)

@Lakshmi
They have weapons now, even if they were hastily assembled, and I've taught them how to fight as best I can.

I see. So if this world were a single entity, the sacred beasts are the white blood cells of its immune system.

@Holmes
Since we can assume this world's god would be the head, the sacred beasts must be its macrophages, created to detect, isolate, and remove any foreign elements...

@Lakshmi
Their karma should determine what they become in their next life. At least, that's what my people believe.
[k]

@Lakshmi
That's what a true Saṃsāra cycle is meant to be.
[k]

@Lakshmi
We cremate dead bodies to free their souls, and ensure they go on to their next life without issue.
[k]

[charaFace I 5]

@Lakshmi
But here...as long as the sacred beasts are around, nobody will be able to hold a proper cremation.

@Lakshmi
If this world has no respect for the journey of the dead, and no hope for those who are left behind...
