avanti_90: "The weirdest thing to celebrate"
* * *
"'The Day of Black Death?' You're seriously celebrating a plague?" Salli asked as they watched the parade. Her much delayed Grand Tour had begun again. Which is why she and Alinadar found themselves on the Wazagan homeworld, gaping as wazagans dragged themselves down the street wearing painted on boils and seeping sores, moaning dramatically.
"Oh, yes!" their guide said. "Over ten thousand people died in it."
"And that's celebrated because...?"
"We realized our old gods had abandoned us, and the human missionaries' teachings of the One True God were correct." The guide paused, then added. "The antibiotics didn't hurt either."
