Nearly forgot to post this drawing I made of the Black Prophet in a priest outfit. I know he's more puritan than catholic (he literally lives in a place called Puritan Street) but like. I dunno, the catholic priest outfits look dope.
At the farthest edge of the forest near the party, the White Prophet had been throwing up in the bushes after drinking the party's lemonade, and the Black Prophet stood idly by to look after him and sniffed the glass the White Prophet drank from.
BP: Someone spiked the lemonade.
WP: Blegh... How could you be so sure?
BP: The glass smells like alcohol.
WP: Do you think someone would do that at a party...? Just... Just pour some booze into the lemonade everyone drinks from?
BP: Yes.
WP: But why??
BP: Some people think it's a "fun practical joke" to do at parties when nobody is looking, especially at a no-alchohol event.
WP: That's not a very nice prank.
BP: Exactly, it's not, it usually just ends up with people like you vomiting or saying or doing things they'll absolutely regret, not to even mention the hangovers...
WP: How do you know all this stuff anyway, Mr. Misery?
BP: ... Well, I must confess an old sin of mine.
WP: A sin to YOU, perhaps. I don't believe in sins!
BP: ... Yeah, sure. Anyway, I used to go to alot of parties, be abhorrently frivolous, and I would even encourage behavior like this, thinking it was just a harmless thing that would last a day or two...
WP: Hah! You? Mr. Resting Bitch Face? Professor Monotonous Teacher Voice? The guy who tells people to shut up and work their whole lives? A party animal? You never cease to amaze me, Tristan. Cam an, if you were such a party popper what made you into a party pooper?
BP: I realized my way of living was wasteful at best when the Comet nearly struck the Earth and almost killed it! I realized that if it really did hit, I would've died without having accomplished a single thing of worth! I would've died a clown and if there were an afterlife, would I have been happy with how I lived...? Probably not... and I didn't want people to have that same realization I had, so I became a prophet who preached about work and duty in the hopes to create a better future and make people feel like they accomplished something before they kicked the bucket.
WP: ...
The White Prophet wobbled upright and then sat next to the Black Prophet, adjusting his own sleeve.
WP: Funny. I used to be a working farmgirl on the countryside-
BP: Farmgirl?
WP: Well, yeah, I used to be a girl until that Comet came and gave me a second epiphany right after the one I was going to talk about- I forgot I never mentioned that... Are you... Weirded out, or anything?
BP: ... I've heard stranger things coming from textbooks, I suppose I'm fine with that. You can continue with what you were saying, Fremont.
WP: Okay thank you, uhm... So I worked on the countryside with my family, we were a small few but had a very big farm so it was work day in and day out, we didn't have fun at all, it was dirty and slimy and not in the fun foresty way. I was miserable there, it was routine with constant inconvenience that ruined it, and then the Comet decimated our farm with its heat. When it didn't kill us I realized that that life... It didn't feel nice or fulfilling, Life was meant to be enjoyed, didn't it? Those rakes and tractors and plows weren't intended to be part of our lives, life is a gift and we should enjoy it while we can, nature was made to take care of the rest! I wanted to be free and love life and love myself like I didn't before! And I wanted others to feel the same! I wanted to spread my newfound and joyous wisdom with everyone because what is life worth living if not to be enjoyed!
BP: But why is there life if it doesn't have a purpose for this green Earth we stand on? That simply can't be-
WP: Now now, remember what Moominmamma said!
BP: Ugh, alright, fine... It is such a strange coincidence, though, how could we come to such different conclusions from the same event?
WP: Oh you know, life has a way... Oh, goodness, I think I have a headache coming on...
BP: Alright, easy there. Come on, let's get you some water and sleep.
