Well. Information surfing through Google can lead you to quite the unexpected places. There isn't anything about journalism here at all. It'll have to do, and besides I could use a distraction from time to time. Deadlines are much too stressful.

Carmine Zuigiber is my name, but please, just call me Red or Scarlett, people of DramaDramaDuck. That last name can be a tongue twister. Tell me, what do you think about Revelations?

Revelations? As in the book of?

Nice to meet you Scarlett.

Yes, sir, the Book of Revelations as related to St. John.

Pleasure to meet you, Doctor.

Most call me Otacon.

I'm not quite versed in the books actually.

You are a man of science so it's to be expected. How do you think the world will end? Nuclear war? Natural disaster?

I have not read the book in question, but its counterpart in the Old Book of Om is a poor literary specimen.

The Old Book of Om? I've never heard of that. You don't mind giving more information, do you?

Omniansm is one of the fastest growing religions on my world and, although it underwent a major schism to put a halt to its zenophobic tenets some considerable time ago, many older zealots still pay reverance to the old testament of Om. It is heavy on smiting and prophets in deserts.

Hm. Sounds exactly like the Old Testament in ours.

Into journalism now, are we?

Arms dealing was getting far too boring. How are you?

It's been too long, Pollution. You should send more letters.

I guess after doing it for as long as you have it would. I'm quite well, thanks! And yourself?

[Locked]

I send plenty of letters! Things have just been....um, kind of hectic lately.

[/Locked]

It seems like only yesterday I got into it. It was a good run. I'm well. Going through the Middle East at the moment for an exclusive. Very hush-hush.

But there have been no oil spills, no massive fish kills! You can't be that busy.

Everyone knows Revelations was written simply as a metaphor illustrating the ultimate justice being served to the wicked; the righteous and devout live on while the oppressors perish in a lake of flame.

Hello, Red.

Just a metaphor? I like to think it's more literal than that.

Hello yourself.

In your world, perhaps, but not in my own. It is the works of frightened Christians who thought they would die alongside their faith in times long past.

I am Apollo.

Trust me, I know about tongue-twister names. Mine's Zelgadis Graywords. Pleased to meet you, Red.

I can't say I've read it, honestly. I don't believe that particular holy book exists in my world.

You have me beat there, Zelgadis. It's a pleasure to meet you as well.

You should when you have the time. It's fascinating, really. Theologians have been trying to decipher the text for years and still aren't sure what it means. Perhaps you and those in your world could help.

Most people have decided that it's easier to call me Zel. Even if I cared strongly one way or the other, I doubt I'd be able to stop them.

Hm... I don't know. Some things that have happened in my world recently have soured me on religion. ~~Never mind what they've done to a friend of mine who's actually a priestess.~~
