The cats have come upon the divine mesenger and have dispatched the meessenger and absorbed he message. I prefer not to see it as a war between Bast and Eris, but a partnership, maybe a communion. <BR/><BR/>After all, cats are known for creating their own chaos time-to-time so the message from the original messenger has just been passed on, and may pass on a little further after the digestive tract finishes absorbing more of the message.<BR/><BR/>Another way of guarenteeing a message is to repeat many times, and most everyplace I have seen graced with St. Gulik always has about twenty others you don't see, thus guarenteeing the messgae is not lost completely. <BR/><BR/>A third point is the message is delivered a myriad of ways, the messenger falling out of a cereal box as you pour some for breakfast has to be one of the most effective (and rather disturbing) ways to deliver a message I've seen, and honestly would prefer not to receive again.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967035753670903358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-25578652835882949842007-08-18T04:33:00.000-04:002007-08-18T04:33:00.000-04:00I'm not sure quite why, but the idea of an undead ...I'm not sure quite why, but the idea of an undead cockroach disturbs me greatly.

I haven't been observed by anyone for the past three hours, so I may or may not actually be here. Go figure. <BR/><BR/>I love the idea of a cockroach as a messenger. Also explains why Eris is not the dominant diety in the world today, as most people are not enlightened (myself included) enough to overcome the initial urge of squishing the beloved herald of Eris flat upon first seeing it. <BR/><BR/>Fortuna knows that St Gulik would have a rough shake in my house, as I regularly find unmarked roach corpses mere feet from the newly-bored countenances of my own residing messengers, my cats. I think Bast is waging a silent war on Eris, to be honest. That's the only explanation I can think of. Any way you can think of to bring these two to the table, as I'd really like to hear what St Gulik has to say..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492738918046301265noreply@blogger.com
