Shelley the Cultivator


SHAY: Ah, a cultivator. Um, what's a cultivator?

SHELLEY: We grow things.

SHAY: I see. Like trees, plants?

SHELLEY: Humans, suns.

SHAY: Interesting. Are there a lot of you?

SHELLEY: Quite a few. It's a common profession. God is definitely interested in growth.

SHAY: I would assume so. May I ask what is typically involved in cultivating?

SHELLEY: A lot of water.

SHAY: Regular, normal water?

SHELLEY: That too, but there's also something called divine water.

SHAY: You mean holy water?

SHELLEY: Well, I guess that would be the way your world would describe it. We tend to look at it as God's Blood.

SHAY: Running through everything...

SHELLEY: Now you're getting it.

SHAY: So where do you get the “water” from?

SHELLEY: It’s built in.

SHAY: To what?

SHELLEY: To us.

SHAY: So when you sign up for the job, you're somehow “altered” so that you're able to cultivate?

SHELLEY: That's one way of looking at it.

SHAY: I'm assuming you guys are pretty busy.

SHELLEY: We're always working, yes.

SHAY: May I ask why you do this?

SHELLEY: Why wouldn't we do it?

SHAY: I mean, why are you called to this job in particular?

SHELLEY: Bringing life to where there was none, is especially satisfying. You humans understand that.

SHAY: Some of us do. Thank you so much for your time.

SHELLEY: Let me know if you ever need anything.

SHAY: I'll be sure to let you know.
