Post the Seventh: The Hurrying Holidays

[He's picked up and put down the phone a few times before actualling deciding to ask this question]

I know it is most unlikely but would anyone know a store that might sell a Menorah?

For those who are unaware, a menorah is a nine branched candelabrum that holds special significance to those of the Jewish religion.

You're jewish?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[brbpouncingyou.livejournal.com]

Cool.

Dunno if you'll find anything, though.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to think that myself.

[brbpouncingyou.livejournal.com]

But I'm thinking the drones'll be more sympathetic towards you. World War II did just get resolved around five to ten years ago, didn't it?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

.....oh....

[just a moment. He's just staring at the phone for a second as the realization that he's in the past finally sinks in. And the fact that only years ago....]

...Yes. Though I would not be surprised if the drones were antisemetic.

[brbpouncingyou.livejournal.com]

Possibly. But a lot of people were sympathetic.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

....that is true.

[still rather shaken]

[findingponies.livejournal.com]

Are you, like, totally Jewish?

I have, like, no idea! But, like, good luck!

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

...yes, as a mater of fact I am.

...

Thank you for the good wishes.

[findingponies.livejournal.com]

Well that's, like, totally cool.

Like, no problem.

I have not seen anywhere that objects of Judaism may be purchased.

I have not even seen a Synagogue.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Yes I noticed a lack of one as well.

I was rather hopeing that there might have been a small shop that I over looked on my exploration of the town.

[arturia-pen.livejournal.com]

This place seems to create holiday-specific objects and events...so perhaps something will appear closer to the correct time?

Though I can't imagine the powers that be would be sensitive to each individual's faith.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Though I will not be surprised if we get things to Christmas and not any other religious holiday.

[arturia-pen.livejournal.com]

That is what I am assuming will happen.

...however...Christmas seems to have...lost it's meaning nowadays.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

...yes. It has rather.

[Long pause on the phone. Giriko is anything but religious, and is a proud heretic, but... Judaism does mean a little something to him, being a golem-maker. It's a rare little moment of connection for him, is all.]

...

... Oi, did you search the house? We had candles and holders and shit in the kitchen, only way to get anything done in this shithole is improvisation, anyway.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, that does sound like a rather good idea.
Thank you, I'll have to have a look around.

[legberjack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Oi, bastard! You didn't get any ideas from me, you know!! You understand?!

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

...[There is a pause and then a light chuckle.]

Yes, Of course not.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

You would think that the store would also cater towards Judaism as well, at least to some small degree.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Yes you would think. However it seems this isn't the case.

What's a Menorah?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

It is a nine branched candleholder that is prominent in the clebration of the Jewish holiday Hunukkah.

[mini-meatbun.livejournal.com]

What's "Jewish" mean?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

It's the name of a religion.
