Monday
Confessions.

Rosette was proud of herself; she was doing very well keeping up with Lent. But she was also realizing how much of her time was taken with drinking and eating, and was feeling rather bored and restless and...

Thankfully, it was Monday, and that meant she could sleep in the confessional. Hooray, Mondays!

Laura entered the church, a slip of paper gripped in one hand. She approached the candles at the altar, kneeling before them. Her lips moved in a quiet prayer to the Gods. Swallowing back against the tightness that threatened her throat, she eased the slip of paper into the flame. It caught in a flash of white-orange; she dropped it into one of the votive holders, watching as it was reduced to ash.

She remained kneeling at the altar for a few moments, thankful for the peace...something sorely lacking since her return from the Galactica.

Chrono quietly, but respectfully, ceased his work around the church to watch the woman out of the corner of his eye; it was too rare but always nice to see someone with some actual devotion come in here for a change...

After a few more moments of quiet reflection, Roslin stood, turning. She spotted Chrono and offered a smile. "Hello," she said with a nod.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Chrono nodded back. "Hello. I'm sorry if I interupted your prayers at all. It's just...nice to see the church get a bit of proper use, is all."

[hera-rises.livejournal.com]

"You're no interruption. Devotions to the Gods tend to be short, sweet, and to the point." She gave a rueful smile. "Unless you've really screwed up."

Laura paused. "The temple doesn't get a lot of 'proper use'?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Uh, no, not really," Chrono chuckled a little bit, nervously tapping his fingers together in front of him. A small blush was surfacing on his cheeks as he remembered that he himself was quite guilty of this, even more so than Rosette, so he wasn't going to bother with details. "Let's just say it isn't a very devout community, this one."

At this, Laura had to chuckle. "Somehow, that doesn't surprise me." She gave a rueful smile. "On the other hand, facing death somehow brings it all into perspective. As dangerous as this island can be, maybe I should be surprised."

Chrono gave a small nod, feeling that perhaps the comment had a little bit of immediate bearing to the woman. "I'm sorry for your loss...or near loss, at any rate."

John entered quietly, wondering if today was actually MOnday, and if Rosette was actually available. He noticed that there were a few people already there, mostly the Blue Hair crowd.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

And purple haired. Chrono lifted his chin in some sort of acknowledgment of John's presence. "She's in the confessional," he told him. "Which, you know, is supposed to be used for confessing."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I always have confessions." JOhn doesn't even have a smile for Chrono. "She's not gonna like it. Or me."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Chrono arched an eyebrow at John, and then shrugged, and went back to reorganizing the hymnals. It wasn't any of his business, and, hell, if John needed Rosette, he knew where to find her. John, really, was the least of his problems with her these days, anyway.

John entered the confessional. "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned," he said, wtihout a trace of mirth.

A sleepy groan emerged from the other side of the screen as Rosette rubbed her eyes a little. She had just about managed to fall asleep. She yawned and gave a sigh. "G'mornin' John. What's up?"

"You, blondie." He forced a smile. "Um. I hadn't seen you in a while. And I had... some things to talk about."

Rosette grinned a little and leaned her head on the screen, which was being very effective at the moment of blocking any rays of emo emitting from the other side of the confessional. "Well, you know I'm always here to listen, even if you are interupting my nap."

"Okay." He smiles despite himself. "See, there's this girl. She's kinda taken. Hell, she's like married or something, so I don't ahve a chance. But she's cool. Cute. Good peoples. But since she's taken... I... have kinda been looking. And I found someone, but she's not as into it, and there's not the same connection and all. So I killed a buncha aliens over the weekend."

Billy slipped in as quietly as he could and took a seat in the back. He wasn't sure this was a good idea.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

After giving the boy a moment, Chrono nodded to him and said. "The Sister is doing confessions today; if you need her, that's where to find her. If there's anything else, let me know and I'll try to assist you. If there's nothing, I'm sorry to interupt you."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." Billy said, heading over to the booth. There he paused. "Uhm, which, uh, which side...?" he asked helplessly.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Chrono bit his lip to keep from smirking a little at that and nodded. "The right."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Hey Billy'd never even set foot in a church before. He thanked Chrono and stepped into the confessional. He sat down. How did this work?

"Hello?"

Rosette shifted a little disdainfully in her seat to have another nap interupted, rubbed her eyes a little, and let out the usual drawl, "Hello, my child, have you come to confess your sins today?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Uhm...sort of? I uh, this island doesn't have a shrink, and, this was the only thing I could think of."

"Ahhh, so you're among the looking for cheap, free therepy lot, are you?" Rosette grinned a little. "Which I can definately do. Much better than all that confession stuff, anyway. But I think I am qualified to warn you that I'm pretty crazy, so I don't know how much of a help I'll be, but I can try."
