cafeteria | mid afternoon | wednesday | 25 november

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

Apparently, there was a holiday tomorrow. From what Jonas had gathered from the books he'd read, it revolved around a lot of food, togetherness and was descended from a shared meal by two very different groups long ago.

Needless to say, Jonas had never celebrated Thanksgiving in the Community. Besides ceremonies for Days of Birth, nothing had really been celebrated so Jonas found these specially singled out days as half a curiosity and half enjoyment.

And, while today wasn't the holiday, Jonas found himself in the cafeteria, idly picking at his food (mashed potatoes had a very strange texture) and paging through a book on various holidays. Christmas would, undoubtedly, be the next thing he looked up that. That holiday just seemed...complicated.

[open, sure!]

"You sound like you like them." Didi wasn't quite so certain.

"Why shouldn't I?" He smiled at Didi. "I am Fremen. The Great Makers are a physical embodiment of God to us."

He might not believe this literally, but it was part of the mythology of the desert.

"So the worms are a form of God," Didi repeated, bemused. "That's ... kind of a neat idea."

"Neat?" Leto looked amused, but Didi's reaction was nicer than he expected from people here when mentioning something like that.

[and now I have to go!]
