Monday
Confessions.

Rosette was in a good mood, so she may have been humming, singing, kicking her feet a little as she sat in her side of the confessional, wondering if maybe the trend would keep up and she'd get another wayward teen in sexual overdrive like herself to entertain her today. While she waited, she was snipping away at paper, making chains of paper hearts in pink, red, and white to adorn the church with on Wednesday.

The good mood might be because she was also finishing off that bottle of scotch Shuichi brought for her. Just a guess.

Ami had not been in a church in... a very long time. Her mother never had made her go rather inviting her to come along and so she was not a frequent visitor. In fact she had been to the Shinto temple more recently. But, her thoughts were slightly jumbled and so here she was.

Chrono glanced up from his work cleaning the candlesticks as someone walked in. A Japanese girl, a different one than the last one; definately not the Sinner. That...made him relax significantly. He set the candlestick down and nodded to her. "Hello; may I help you with anything?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hi. I just... you know" She pointed to the confession booth with her chin. She was nervous and really did not expect anyone here except the sister.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Oh! Right!" Chrono nodded. "Sister Rosette's already in there, so just go on in."

Ami nodded gratefully and went into the booth in a manner that was almost but not wholly like scurrying.

Confessional Thread -- NFB

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette, tongue lightly sticking out, was just finishing up one of those tricky curves at the tops of the hearts when she heard the door open and tried not to let out a sound of excitement. Yay, confession! Yay, dirt on someone, although chances were she wouldn't know who it was and, besides, she wouldn't say anything anyway. She was the world's worst nun, true, but she wasn't that bad. Straightening her shoulders in a very official manner, Rosette set aside her papers and scissors and cleared her throat.

"Hello, my child," she said, in her best church official sort of voice. "I take it you have come to confess your sins today?"

Aziraphale appreciated the irony of making a trip down to the church on confession day. He didn't approach the confessional, but rather took a seat in a pew near the back of the sanctuary and sat quietly, staring at the floor.

How was he supposed to reconcile what he was planning on doing that night, with the fact that his purpose was supposed to be to defend to barrier between the mortal world and Below?

Chrono took note of the angel, as well as his immediate move to a reverie, and let him be. If he needed anything, Chrono figured he's let him know, or if he needed Rosette, he knew where to find him. Angels just made him nervous if Rosette wasn't around, although, with Aziraphale, it was an entirely different sort of nervousness than with the other angel.


[[ same here. :) ]]

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

After a little while, Aziraphale noticed Chrono and looked up with a rueful smile. He supposed that talking to someone about his troubles would be the most logical move, although the angel had a tendency to listen more than to talk.

Still...as odd as it seemed, maybe a confession would help. He wondered, though, if it would be fair to put that burden on Rosette.

With a deep sigh, he finally rose and made his way to the confessional, and sank into the seat.

Confessional Thread -- NFB

When Rosette heard another enter the confessional, she wondered if she should pinch herself or go ask Lucifer that maybe he should check and see if his domain just froze over, because there was a second confessional. Either people were being more sinful, or people were feeling more of a need to absolve themselves. She drew in a breath and prepared the dry greeting, "God is ready to hear your sins and grant you forgiveness, my child."

It was hard not to scoff as she said it. She was still waiting for Him to hear her...

"I don't suppose you know HIS views on things that aren't precisely sins, but that you know you shouldn't be doing regardless," Aziraphale murmured, with a wry chuckle. "I'm not certain you can absolve me, my dear, but I hoped you might be willing to hear me anyway."

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

Rosette sat up a little straighter as she recognized Aziraphale's voice. What the hell was he doing here? She already felt utterly useless when it came to confessions, even more so when it was an angel who apparantly had something to say.. "Yeah, definately can't do any of that myself. Listening, though, I can do. Especially in the off chance that someone else might be listening, too."

And she didn't mean the squirrels, either.

After the confessional, Ami sat down on one of the pews and, closing her eyes prayed for a while. It HAD been a long time. It was also probably a bad thing that she was contemplating finding a Shinto temple somewhere just to get all her obligations done.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Wade wasn't one for the confessional. Mostly because he'd have to be in there for an insanely long time if he wanted to confess all of his sins. Hell, he wasn't even sure if he could list them all.

But he was going to give it a shot. Maybe. After the gay Englishman angel and the nubile Asian chick left, he went to the confession booth thingamajig.

"Bless me sister for I have sinned. A lot. Especially when I'm around attractive nuns."

Good Lord, what the hell was in the water today that made everyone all abs---

Heyyyy. Rosette recognized that voice; grinning wryly, she wondered if this one was a serious confession or if it would dwindle down into how those last few times John tried confessing.

Not dirty.

"Can't really blame you for that one," she commented. "I'd swear, that attractive nun is just askin' to be sinned around, the harlot. Still, pennance for such is pretty simple. Offerings of pie, cake, and/or booze at the alter."

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"So everytime I get my sin on around the nun, I should leave bribes up at the alter." Wade paused. "You're gonna need a bigger alter."

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"I'll put it on the list of things to do," Rosette grinned. "So, I gotta ask: this a serious confession" --as if there could be such a thing with her-- "or you just stop in to say hi while I'm chained to this little box?"

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Mostly to say hi," Wade admitted. "I could try to confess stuff, but that could take a while."

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette shrugged a little. "You could always do a little bit at a time. I hear that lightens the load a little bit, if you believe in that sort of stuff."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John showed up (after ducking out of Sparky's) with a package under his arm. Er, coat, rather, since cold as all get-out and Surfer Weather JOhn don't mix.

He waited for the confessional to be free (seriously, it needs a Take-A-Number wheel or something, and entered.

"Bless me, Father, for I have chocolate."

Confessional Thread -- NFB

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Definately something in the water today. But Rosette grinned at yet another recognizable and probably not in the slightest bit serious voice.

"First off, fifty Hail Mary's for even insinuating I'm a guy; secondly, add on another forty for the fact that the chocolate is over there and not over here. Who's bright idea was it to put this screen here..."

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Gee, Father, you've changed. Glad to know that sex reassignment surgery's a success. And the chocolate's right here. Doesn't this screen slide up or pivot or shimmy or soemthing? Seeekrit passage?"

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Rosette banged a little on the screen. "It's pretty solid. Very big on the whole anonyminity and confidentiality with things like this, the church is. Meanwhile, on the clergy side of thing, it makes for a great game of trying to figure out who's who. So, what sins you've got to confess today? Besides holding chocolate randoms from a nun, which, might I add, is almost as bad of an offence as tickling one."

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Hrm. Haven't doen the tickly nun thing in a while. i should do that. I dunno. Just bummed, needed soemone to talk to. ANd poof! Instant captive audience!" John may or may not be grinning, but he certainly sighs.

Re: Confessional Thread -- NFB

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Cheaper than therepy, too," Rosette nodded, with a small, encouraging sort of smile that she hoped was creeping into her voice since she knew he couldn't see it. She leaned a little on the dividing wall. "What's up, John?"
