Temple Review

added by Alphagor A year ago O

The Animalia website contained multiple videos. Quite a few of them were just funny clips of people embarrassing themselves while trying to impress Animalians as well as Animalians embarrassing themselves. Though plenty of videos were news-related in some way. Some of them are pretty short, such as the one announcing that the Fennecs were planning on having their double wedding during Animalia's Birthday Celebration. Others were longer such as Miles's coverage of the Mictlan Cave or the Quasi-Raccoon Cuties' coverage of the Temple of the Body.

==========

"Hey, everybody! We're the Quasi-Raccoon Cuties and this is the Temple of the Body!" said Tani, standing before the main temple doors, "There's a lot about this place we're going to show you."

"For starters, it's not actually just one building," said Naya, "It's more of a temple complex. There are several buildings, each serving a different purpose."

"And despite what some people online think, it's not a strip club or a brothel," said Date, "We may train geisha here, but it's only as an ancient form of the performing arts."

==========

"The closest thing this Temple has to a place of worship is this place," said Tani, showing a shrine in a somewhat small building housing a golden statue of a monstrous-looking figure with demon-like features. Fortunately, there was a Buddhist priest who was able to explain what it was.

"Wrathful deities are in no ways tied to the sin of anger in Buddhism." he explained, "They are actually enlightened Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or Devas, whose job it is to destroy the obstacles to enlightenment and Nirvana."

"So, which one is this?" asked Tani, "I've never seen him before."

"He is rather new." answered the monk, "In this new age of food being readily available, he's taken up the burden of fighting the demons of gluttony. But because he's so new, he doesn't have an official name yet."

==========

"The different buildings of this complex act as a combination health spa, fitness center, and dojo," said Naya, "Here, we have some fighters showing off the differences between Eastern and Western styles." In a boxing ring were two boxers who were sparring. However, while was using traditional Western pugilism, the other was a Thai kickboxer. It was very obvious which was which considering how the Thai fighter was using his legs. The pugilist probably had more strength, but landing a hit was difficult with the way his opponent moved.

"Of course, some people prefer less violent ways to stay in shape," said Naya, "Yoga is quite popular here, provided one has limbered up. An unprepared body could get a rather painful cramp. But eating well is also an important part so they're also ready to provide healthier food for people who are less careful with their diet."

A passing cat Animalian turned and snapped, "Hey, I do watch what I eat! This body is a temple!" He looked down at his noticeable gut and added, "With a two-car garage."

==========

"And now, let's have a look at the geisha this Temple trains," said Date. She showed several women, human and Animalian, dressed in traditional geisha robes and face paint, pouring tea for each other or playing musical instruments.

"Contrary to popular belief, geisha are not prostitutes or call girls," said Date, "That's not to say they never have sex, but they do not sell sex. A geisha is meant to be a party hostess and professional conversationalist. If you're looking for more adult entertainment, you'll have to look elsewhere. So far, there aren't any nightclubs on Heiya Island and it seems unlikely that there will be." This raised quite a bit of complaints online from less respectful people. Of course, there are plenty of other people ready to throw their complaints back at them.

"So, the Temple of the Body is pretty much what it sounds like," said Date, "While we do respect the body and try to take good care of it, that doesn't mean we worship it or invite others to worship our bodies. Don't worry, there's still plenty of adult entertainment that Animalia provides. You just have to look at the right places for it."
