[a little after the locations are revealed, shadowheart can be found in the church. she's changed into a change of clothes, and she clearly thinks she's alone. she's got a glass with her that seems like it came from the bar, and she's standing on one of the pews, inspecting one of the axolotl windows up close carefully, running a finger along the glass.
and then she appears to be startled when someone comes in after her.]
Ah, hello! I was just looking for someplace to be alone with my thoughts for a moment.

[HER FIT CHECK. She is so aerodynamic... Very unlike Lucas who now has so many layers that are so flowy.
This is very funny since he also has a glass in his hand that definitely came from the bar, though he moves to place it on another pew before making his way over.]
The church is certainly a good place for that. I do hope that I'm not interrupting you, then...?
[Gazing up at the omnipresent axolotl...]
What unique decor.

[listen. it was either this or heavy armor]
Not at all. I actually found it impossible to meditate in here once I noticed the salamander. So the effort is wasted either way.

Probably not. But some sort of slimy bog creature.
[she'll smile right back.]
You find yourself taken with him? Perhaps I've underestimated the appeal.

Is it cute...?
[but teasing.]
Maybe it's a bit cute. In an unsettling sort of way.
[she shrugs at that.]
Truth be told, this sort of church is not where I would be inclined to pray either way. I was merely curious about it; I want to learn more about the gods of this place.

Unsettling but cute... That does seem to be a fair description.
[THEIR WEIRD MASCOT. But, with just a tiny hint of amusement:] Do you prefer churches that are cloaked in gentle shadow?
[A beat; he looks up toward the empty church front.]
This is quite similar to the church that I spent my time at, so the familiarity is a bit comforting.

Very astute. My lady's domain is the night. Darkness and shadows, secret temples - that is where she is worshipped.
[still, she'll look around as well.]
Salamander and all?

Salamander and all?
It sounds like a fascinating way to pray...
[IN THE DARK. Wild... His Catholicism brand is still very classic in its general aesthetic... But then, with a light laugh:]
I think it would have been even better with the salamander, though I can't say whether it would have attracted more followers or pushed them away in the end.

I have seen fish people at worship. They crowned a pile of guts and gore and named it their god. This would have been better.
You don't have to support the fish people. They wanted to sacrifice us.
I did not care much for them, no. Though blood sacrifice seems to be very in vogue these days.
Sometimes it seems that way. There are many very brutal gods. That's why I wanted to know more of this church. Merely because something is holy does not mean it is worthy of trust.
And the church you spent your time at? What was it like?
It celebrates life, emotion and the connection between people. The actual building was similar to this, without the little creature. Much about this is familiar, really.
[GLANCING AROUND... The way he's about to be so let down to hear he somehow ended up in some other god's afterlife.]
May I ask about yours?

[hmm. sounds lame! but she agrees that it sucks to be in some other afterlife.]
You may. Though secrecy is one of the core virtues - there may be things I cannot speak of.

[IT'S CAVES TIME. Whenever Shadowheart goes to mosey on through and reaches the door set into the wall, she'll open it into... a church! One that's similar and yet slightly different from the one in their neighborhood. This one lacks any cute axolotls which is the biggest crime. The light streaming through the many stained glass windows also appears to be moonlight, so the entire building has a bit of coldness to it in spite of the general welcoming air.
Lucas stands up near the altar, where he's curiously peering at a few items laid out on it. There's a rosary, a silken bag that appears to have something inside of it, and a full chalice. He'll glance up when someone else enters the space, smiling pleasantly.]
Good afternoon. This is quite the incredible place, isn't it?

[oh...]
It is incredible. You made this, just from your memories?
