007 ✿ Audio

[Audio today! She has no reason to use video, unless someone really wants a look at the glass slipper she received at the Lux opening.]

I know this is a pointless question, but I was wondering if anyone had magic in their world that's casted by singing? Well - singing and thought, but it's the singing that's important! And I don't mean just speaking normally, that's stupid and barbaric. I mean actual melodies that create magic.

[She's still skeptical about Rapunzel's idea, but it couldn't hurt. Besides, it would be kind of interesting if other nonhumans could cast magic in that way.]

There's something else too, and this is really important! Does anyone know the meaning of receiving a glass shoe? It's a high heel and it looks expensive, but I only got one.... Not very practical, right? [She sounds a little unsure since she thinks she has a vague idea, but she's still very confused.] But I'd still really appreciate any help with this!

... Oh, and does anyone know what 'heaven' is?

Not just an afterlife -- the concept of heaven is standard even with non believers.

Non... believers? People who don't believe in heaven? [Slightly confused? Yes.]

Magic and gods aren't real where I come from, but for a lot of people, the idea that there's nothing waiting for us after death is too hard to accept, so we've got a lot of religions.

Oh! So... do they all have a heaven, or do they have different ideas of what happens when you die?

Let's see ... I think Heaven's for the Western religions -- Christianity, Judaism and Islam. They're not really practiced in Japan, so I don't know a lot about them! In Buddhism, you are reincarnated, learning from each life until you attain perfect understanding and enter a state like Heaven -- that's kind of a transformation though rather than a place.
