At this point, a group of people walks out from the inner sanctum.

"You here to pray for victory, too?" asks Wakka.

"Us? Pray?" mocks the one in front. "Who needs to pray? The Luca Goers always win!"

Theo waits patiently for the interaction to complete, because he thinks he's probably lacking too much context to understand much of it.

Except for it apparently being, probably, some sorts of sports thing. That sounds like a sports thing.

"Oh, yeah? Then why are you here?" Wakka asks.

One of the other guys answers: "We've been praying for some competition this year!"

"So, what's your goal this time?" asks main guy. "You gonna 'do your best' again? Ha! It's too bad your best isn't good enough! Why even bother showing up?"

(Kaede rolls her eyes.)

Theo politely refrains. He is, instead, after looking them over a bit, totally ignoring them and looking around the temple.

"Well, this time, we play to win!"

"Oooh! Play away! Just remember even kids can play, boys," says main guy—

—he pauses to finally notice Theo and blink in surprise—

—then shakes his head and walks off with his teammates. 

(The temple has statues and fire inside spheres that somehow still burns and stone pillars and people and is very pretty.)

Pretty temple. Theo prefers other styles of architecture, though.

He doesn't respond to the confusion of 'main guy'.

Kaede looks like she's biting her tongue on some choice remarks about this interaction.

"We should go."

Theo is willing to follow!

… Does anybody have any questions for him or is he going to, like, die of boredom and lack-of-knowing-what-to-explain-first?

Kaede does!

"So in your world, anyone can summon those, er, three things, and there are five worlds in total, three for your powered things, one where 'mortals' live, and one where they go when they die... Did I miss anything?"

"Nope, pretty sure that's the main stuff – daeva's the collective word. There are concordances, though, between the non-mortal-worlds, think I said that, and we can be summoned to the mortal world but not to limbo or other non-mortal-worlds with appropriate circles and typically with bindings, and we're indestructible – limboites included."

He pauses to think, then says, "Oh, uh. At least some ex-summoners become daeva instead of limboites – I'm not sure on the particular skew or if it's all of them, but I've met a couple of angels who used to be summoners."

She stops walking. "Dooooes that mean I'm gonna go to your afterlife if I die because that was not in the plans."

"The plans?"

She looks around and says, "I can explain later in a less public place."

Lulu sighs.

"No idea!" he says. "I have never heard of people in Limbo who are from here, or in fact anywhere with spherecorders and Sin, just people from Earth like usual, and I've never spoken to a daeva who's gone to a non-Earth and non-moon place, nor one who's from there, so yeah, you might go to our afterlife but this whole situation continues to be unprecedented as far as I know."

"Okay, that's... better, I suppose."

"… Better? Because it might not sidetrack your mysterious plans, or because this actually explains why I can't explain things as well as you expect?"

She waves her hand. "Wakka doesn't like it when I talk about that."

Wakka is in fact apparently studiously ignoring this, making his way to a statue and kneeling before it. He starts gesturing at it in a repeated motion of spreading his arms out and then bringing them together as if they were holding an invisible ball in front of his chest. "Lord Ohalland, guide our feet and give us strength," he says.

"I mean, okay, but he's over there and I'm not sure if this means I need to be worried…? Because this place kinda creepily reminds me of some stuff?"

"Except I should go pray, too," she says—

—and her visage changes, like she's someone else entirely wearing the same skin. She kneels beside Wakka, and starts praying, as well. More silently than he does, but still.

… Well that was, uh, vaguely creepy.
