Our Lady of Fandom; Tuesday [11/ 28 ] -- Late Morning on...

Whoo hoo! They did it! their daring and perilous escape had been successful, and a nun in an arm-sling and a demon with a coffee burn waltzed back into the church.

"Ahhhh, it's good to be home! But, maaaan, Chrono, you sure sucked back there. Terrible performance, terrible, I say."

"Hey, you got out, didn't you?" He decided not to mention that they were going to let her out, anyway. She probably wouldn't listen to her. He was just happy to have things finally return relatively back to normal.

Once she found out that she didn't have class today, Nadia headed into town to the church. She didn't know if the nun would still be in the clinic, but her friend might be around in the church, at least. She was worried that if she went back to the clinic so soon, they'd insist on putting her back into one of the exam rooms or something.

Okay, so she was completely winded by the time she got to the church and shivering all over again, despite the mild weather, but she was still fine dammit, except for not being able to move her arm, and that was the immobilizer's fault.

"Hello?

Things had gotten dusty in here while they were away, so when Nadia came in, Rosette was futily reaching up to dust off a statue base with her left arm, slinged arm held lightly out for balance. She dropped onto her heels and smiled at her.

"Nadia, feeling okay, I take it?" she asked, tucking the feather duster in the sling (this thing was pretty convenient...) and drifting down the aisle to go see her.

Nadia nodded, but had to cough a few times before speaking again. "Better, yeah. I wanted to come say thank you. For helping to come get me."

"Oh, hey, it's no problem," Rosette smiled brightly. "What kind of nun would I be if I didn't? Besides, my guns were getting too outta use. I'm just glad everything worked out okay."

Yeah, like Nadia was going to buy that Rosette was a nun. Really now. "Right. Um. Still. You got hurt trying to help me. I don't know how to repay that."

"Eh, this little thing?" Rosette lifted the arm in the sling a little. "S'nothing, trust me. You're okay, right? That's all that matters."

Nadia smiled slightly, touching her own sling, which didn't allow nearly the same range of movement since it was to keep her shoulder still. "We practically match."

Rosette chuckled a little. "That we do. I got some glitter downstairs; maybe we can decorate 'em and start a fashion trend."

Nadia's smile grew. Rosette might not be a nun, but she was kind of fun. "That might be nice."

"You want I should go get it?" Rosette grinned, cocking her head toward the basement door. "It'll only take me a second to go yell at Chrono and have him do it."

"Chrono. That's your friend?" Nadia should probably apologize to him, too, and if he came up here with glitter, she woulnd't have to go look for him. "Yeah. I'd like that."

"Yeah," Rosette smiled. She held up her free hand to indicate height as she said, "Little purple haired guy," then raised the hand to her mouth as she yelled. "Oi! Chrono! Go get the glitter!"

Chrono's head poked out from a row of pews, where he had been dusting under...yes, under...them. "Please don't tell me you're going to use that glitter for what I think you are."

Rosette just beamed at him; he shook his head, started making to toward the basement door. "You're so weird, Rosette."

She chuckled. "He's probably gonna take his sweet time."

Nadia nodded slightly. "He was really worried about you, you know, when you were hurt."

After Rosette's expression softened slowly, into a small smile, she dropped her head a bit, and nodded. It seemed an almost humbling expression. "Yeah," she said softly. "I know...."

"Have you known him very long?"

"We met," Rosette said, with a small laugh and a sudden nostolgic gleam in her eyes, "when I was younger. Can't remember if I was eleven or twelve, sometime around there. So not very long, really, but sometimes it feels like I've known forever..."

"I'm glad you have a friend like that, then. He seems like a nice guy."

"Yeah, I'm pretty lucky to have him..."

Chrono returned from the basement at that moment, carrying a small plastic tub. "I wasn't sure what colours you wanted," he said as he walked over to them, "so I just brought the whole arts box."

"Thanks, Chrono," Rosette grinned at him brighter than she would have if she and Nadia hadn't just had that conversation, and ruffled his hair. She turned to Nadia. "Well? Let's have a seat and get to work."

"Sure. Sounds like fun. And, um, thanks, Chrono. For helping to come rescue me."

Chrono smiled as he sat down with Rosette, setting the tub in front of him on the floor and carefully taking of the lid. He continued smiling at Nadia while Rosette already started riffling through the supplies with her good hand. "Oh, it's not problem at all," he said. "I'm be honest with you; it was all Rosette's idea. I was actually quite against it, as that man...don't think I ever caught his name, really, but I'm sure you know who I mean, the Hispanic gentleman...well, he seemed to have things quite under control, but Rosette was determined on going, and I couldn't very well have let her gone by herself. She'd've gotten herself killed."

"Would not have," Rosette said, sticking her tongue out at him as she found the blue glitter. "You came because you and I are a team, and you can't break a team up like that."

Nadia nodded. "Well, things might have gone a lot differently if you guys weren't there. So I wanted to come say thank you, and that I'm very sorry that Rosette got hurt because she came to help me. If there's anything you guys need, let me know."

Rosette looked at Nadia, brows slightly furrowed. "Y'know," she said, after a moment, "I think there is something you could do for me, Nadia."

Nadia looked up from where she was putting silver and purple sparkles on her immobilizer. "Sure, what is it?"

"Y'can stop all this yakkin' and babbling and the 'I'm sorry's and feeling guilty," Rosette said, shaking out some blue glitter as she scolded her, " S'not like you made us go; we came because we wanted to and I know I'm really glad that I did. I'm sure if you weren't being all kidnapped, you would have fought tooth and nail to have us not get involved, but, then again, if you weren't, then we wouldn't need to go, so, okay, maybe that point is moot. But, don't ever waste your time with feeling bad about stuff that's already happened, because it doesn't do any good. Instead, you should just put that energy into being glad that everything worked out okay and that you have so many people who care enough to help. I don't feel bad about anything that happened, so why should you?"

Nadia just kind of stared at her slack jawed for a moment.

"Oh, um. Okay."

Rosette nodded firmly, having said what needed to be said.

Chrono, almost as if embarrassed for Rosette, chuckled nervously, his face all red. Oh, man. Classic Rosette speech. He was getting to kind of miss those.

Nadia focused in on making a glittery butterfly on her sling, but was smiling slightly.

Walter always yelled at her for taking that kind of responsibility, too.

After finishing off her sling with some accents of gold glitter (it matched her habit now!), Rosette looked up, and looked at her companions a bit thoughtfully. "You know, Nadia. Something isn't right here..."

Nadia frowned, looking between Rosette's sling and her own, wondering what it could be.

Flags?

Boykissy?

"What?"

"A great injustice is occuring," Rosette said, "as there is someone, in this very church, no less, who is depressingly without glitter!"

Chrono's eyes snapped up. "Wha? No....no...no, Rosette, don't even--"

But she popped off the cap of another bottle of glitter and declared "GLITTER FIGHT!" before Chrono could even finish, tossing a spray of pink glitter at him from the bottle with a giggle. Pink looked nice in Chrono's pretty purple hair.

Nadia gaped again.

Absolutely no way was this woman a real nun.

Maybe she was crazy and just THOUGHT she was a nun?

Then she shrugged it off, grabbed a tube of green glitter and jumped into the fight.

"Ack!" Chrono flailed as more waves of glitter covered him. "No fair!"

Rosette had to stop because she was laughing too hard, clutching her side, which hurt especially as much because of the bullet wound there. "Oh my God," she gasped between laughs. "And you can't tell anyone about this, either, Chrono, 'cause they'll all think you're a wuss because you got glitter-killed by two women in arm slings, hehehe."

Nadia had done okay with the not giggling until that, and ended up in a coughing fit.

So she just kind of gestured vaguely towards Rosette, then towards Chrono, and made odd half-laugh noises until she caught her breath.

Then she abruptly adapted a deadly serious expression and looked right at Chrono.

"You look very pretty."

Rosette tried to bury her snickers behind her hands, glowing pink as she saw Nadia's serious expression and tried to adopt it. She wasn't doing so well as she added, "You could...you could be a princess, Chrono." THe giggled couldn't be stopped after that.

"Great," Chrono said, rolling his eyes and blowing a puff of pink and green sprinkles out of his hair. "Do I get a pretty tiara, too?"

Nadia's lips twitched about enough that one might think she were having a seizure.

"Yes!" she finally squeaked, then doubled over and giggled until she coughed until she thought she might pass out.

Chrono sighed while the two of them were about ready to end up right back in the clinic from laughing too hard, reached into the crafts tub, quickly cut up a piece of cardboard paper and promptly settled it on his head. "Ta-daaaaa."

Rosette roared, rolling onto her side. "Oh my Goooooood," she gasped, wiping the tears in her eyes. She felt like her side bandage was gonna bust open. This was great.

Nadia made soft wheezing noises, her hands clamped over her mouth.

"No more!" she finally managed. "Don't--wanna-die. . . ."
