014 ☺ Video ☺ Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?

[The feed is dark, silent and empty until a hand strikes a match; the communicator is propped up to focus on three unlit votive candles on the chapel altar, Mark's voice narrating from offscreen.]

We've all been through some horrible things lately, things I'm sure we'd rather forget. But there are some things in Silent Hill that are worth remembering.

Zev Bellringer deserves to be remembered. [He touches the match to the wick of the first candle.] Dr. King Schultz deserves to be remembered. [He lights the second candle, blowing out the match after he does.] They were both our crewmates, fellow passengers who touched us, inmate and warden alike. Not all of us were close to them, but none of us are unaffected by their absence.

Everyone in Silent Hill deserves to be remembered, especially those we had to leave behind. [He lights the third candle off the second and places them in their neat, sturdy little row.]

Where I come from it's customary to honor those we've lost with a moment of silence and reflection. Please join me, if you'd like to.

[The feed records nothing but the three little candles burning in the darkness and silence for a full minute before cutting off.]

[OOC: Someone tell him about Kael'thas]

Not for you, maybe. And given that this 'as nowt to do with any religion that's ever touched you or Zev, is it actually necessary to consider it an insult?

Religion is religion. It's a tool at best, when one knows how to use it, but never good. How could it not be?

I'm not XD

[Iris is visibly distracted now by something else on the network.]

...Oh bugger. Look, this isn't even religion, you pillock. This is a religion-shaped building on the bloody Barge, shaped this way to comfort the ones that take comfort from it. And that comfort's a real thing for a lot of people. I know you can argue till the heat death of the universe, sweetheart, but I'm needed. Take a deep breath. Find your comfort your way and let other people find it in theirs. I'll catch you later.

[Their comfort doesn't come before her memory, he wants to say, but considering that she apparently has to go, that seems pointless.]
