Our Lady of Fandom; Wednesday [ 11/29 ]

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Today, Sister Rosette Christophere was pouting. A lot.

First, there was the mere fact that, while it seemed like a good idea at the time, pouring glitter all over a demon lead to a lot of fun during the event, but a lot of very annoying clean up after the fact. Glitter was everywhere, stuck in the aisle runner, clinging to the sides of the pews, and Rosette hadn't ever heard of a vaccuum cleaner yet.

Secondly, there was the whole fact that Chrono had actually used it against her to keep her from going to that opening night party at the Devil's Nest last night. Sure, there were other reasons. Nuns shouldn't go to nightclubs, anyway, especially ones with titles like that. She was injured, and should be resting, not drinking. But it was the glitter that did it. "You owe me," Chrono said, with a glare and a growl. The fact that she did actually end up busting her bandages laughing so hard because he still had the tiara on simply bought him his victory.

Thirdly, and finally, the adventure of the weekend meant that she hadn't been able to get her foodstuffs from the food drive to the orphanages. So she was, awkwardly with her arm but thankfully with a lot of help from Chrono, finishing boxing them up and planning a trip for tomorrow to distribute them. The sign outside the church simply implored for assistance:

Wednesday:
Just because the day is over, doesn't mean the Thanksgiving spirit should be.
Please join us tomorrow for a trip to the mainland to share all the wonderful gifts you have given.


[[ open for all your churchly needs. The trip to the orphanage tomorrow doesn't have to be played out, but I'd be willing to do something for it if anyone was interested. Otherwise, I was figuring we could just handwavey the good cheer, but please come talk to Rosette today if your character might like to come. ]]

Perhaps the nice nun could offer some advice on the current situation with Blair and the stolen fish. River nervously entered the church. "Hello?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette went to wave with her broken arm, forgetting it was broken, so it just ended up with a strange flapping of sling. But her other hand was busy holding down a box lid as Chrono taped it shut. "Hello, River." She smiled lightly.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River smiled back, then noticed Rosette's injury. "Your arm. It's broken."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah, this," Rosette laughed a little nervously, and she would have put her arm behind her head as she did so, but the arm she used for that was currently slinged. "Just a little injury, nothing too bad."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Oh," River said, pausing. "Can I ask you for advise?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Oh, of course, River!" Rosette beamed a little, feeling terribly excited; she lightly took River's hand and lead her toward a pew. "Come on, let's sit and you can tell me all about it. That's part of what I'm supposed to do, y'know. Be an advisor, spiritual or otherwise."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River took a seat and looked sadly at Rosette. "My boyfriend kissed another guy. He felt guilty and apologised, but I got angry and stole his fish. Then I asked a friend if I could kiss him and he agreed. And I realized that kissing Jack was very enjoyable but it didn't change my feelings towards Blair. And Blair still cares about me." She paused. "Should I take the fish back to him?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette was trying hard; she was trying really, really, really hard, but the efforts just made it worse.

She started cracking up, rolling a little with her laugher, hand clutching her injured side. Oh, God, it hurt, but....maaaaaan. "R...really?" she asked, through the pain, the giggling. "You stole his fish?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River nodded. "That really upset him. The fish are important to him. They're called Abercrombie and Fitch. I hope Berthold doesn't eat them."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette looked really puzzled all of a sudden. "Wait a sec, back up, River. I thought Berthold was the octopus you stabbed? Did you not end up killing him after all?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"No, the octopus is Proty. Berthold is the tentacled monster that lives under Buffy's bed," River explained, then added: "He's a very friendly monster. Shy. Likes ice cream."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Oh, of course," Rosette nodded, quite seriously now. How silly of her. "Well, I do think you should give your boyfriend...Blair?" She thought she caught the name in there. "You should give him back his fish. Although I do commend you for taking them; that's brilliant. But, well, if he's sorry for kissing someone else, and you kissed someone else, well, then, that should make you even, but you've got his fish still, so....not so balanced."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Not balanced." River thought for a moment. "Jealousy doesn't make sense."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Well," Rosette shifted a little, as if to get more comfortable, tilting her head at River, "what about it is confusing you?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Emotions are not a fixed value to be distributed among a certain number of people. If I love one person doesn't mean I love someone else less."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette had to take a moment to consider this. She nodded, slowly. "This is true...." But she wasn't quite sure where River was going with it.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"So unless the person love you less, why be angry?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Ohh, just because you're angry with someone doesn't mean you don't love them or that you love them any less," Rosette said, with a shake of her head. She looked at River thoughtfully for a moment. "Do you have any brothers or sisters, River?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"A brother. I love him and he annoys me. But what I meant was that jealousy is only logical if the person loves you less than before."

Perhaps this was a complicated thing to explain.

They'd been planning to make their visit exactly a week ago, but sudden impulsive plans had seemed to bring them across the country instead..
Either way, the twins made their way to the church today, free from classes and any sort of annoying work.

"Sisterr~ We've come for a visit!"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Great!" Rosette said when the twins came in. "Now we can excorsize out that creepy demonic twin double-speech ya' got goin' on. I'll get the holy water."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They stopped dead in their forward waltz. "It's not demonic!" They pouted and crossed their arms over their chests in annoyance. What was so creepy about it?!

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette giggled. "Well, I certainly wouldn't expect you to admit it."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They waved their hands at her dismissively, ignoring her assumed fake threats at the sign of her laughter. "We came by because last week turned unexpectedly busy. We could leave of course, if you think our demonic nature is going to somehow set the church on fire." Hikaru smirked.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Eh, we got smoke alarms," Rosette, too, waved a dismissive hand. Just one, cause that was all she could use. The only reason she knew about the smoke alarms was from when she herself had set them off. "So what happened last week that had you too busy to visit little ol' me?" She batted her big blue eyes at them as she feigned an injured pout.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"We went for our first thanksgiving and travelled to Nevada with a friend for a few days." Kaoru began their forward motion again into the church, noting the glitter on the floor...

"Noticed you weren't here this weekend either. What went on to warrent that?" Hikaru nodded at her unusable hand.

((ooc: be back later~))

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"First Thanksgiving!" Rosette gasped, partially, yes, as a way to avoid their questions. "You're kiddin' me?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Japan doesn't exactly celebrate that holiday."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Well," Rosette said, "maybe they should."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Both paused. "Then you guys should celebrate the emperor's birthday."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Emperor's birthday? Sure, sounds like a great time, I'll celebrate it! Will there be cake?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps. If someone makes some."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Will you make some?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"We can't really cook."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Awww. That's a shame. What're you good for, then?" She grinned.
