Tuesday
Alamo Day!

True, it wasn't a religious holiday. But it was a great excuse to ressurrect the cowboy costume from Halloween and run around with Chrono in an epic Nerf gun battle around the church. And that's what really mattered, after all.

River quietly slipped into the church and dodged a Nerf dart. "Hello?" she called out.

Rosette peeked her head out from behind a pew, gun ready and aimed, but she pulled back when she saw who it was and smile. "Oh, River!" She stood and tilted her cowboy hat. "Howdy."

Chrono appeared from behind another pew on the other side of the church, a dart stuck in his hair, brushing off the front of his shirt. He needed to be cleaning under the pews better.

River smiled. The hat suited Rosette and reminded River of the hats worn on various border moons.

"Need singing?" She asked and without waiting for a reply she began to dance a country dance up and down the aisle, singing a folk tune while dancing.

"Could always use singing around here," Rosette said with a smile, after watching River for a bit and moving toward one of the front pews, closer tot he center aisle, and slumped into a seat. She tossed her cowboy boots up on the one in front of her and reloaded her Nerf gun.

River stopped, and slumped down in one of the pews too. "No choir still?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"'Fraid not," Rosette said with a soft smile. "Granted, wouldn't do much good, though, to have a choir and no congregation to sing to. I'd enjoy it, but it'd also probably make me feel homesick, and it's just a little selfish to have a choir just for my entertainment..."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Not just for you. Choir for the choir. If they enjoy singing." River lay down on the pew. "Does God exist?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette blinked at the girl lying in the pew, and shook her head, a reflection of her first, immediate answer. "Oof, River," she said, possibly by way of answering the question for both River and herself, "that's quite a jump in conversation."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Yes." River acknowledged that it was. "Just wondered." She fell silent.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Well," Rosette said after a moment, after struggling with herself for a bit as to whether outright lie and assure the girl that, yes, there was, or to try and explain that, concievably, there was one. Chrono's existence in itself, as something created to work against the creation of God, proved that there must be one. Lucifer, Aziraphale. Their existance also testified to the existence of something like God. But all that was never proof enough for Rosette. She could believe in demons because she knew demons. They were a part of her life, without a shadow of a doubt. God, on the other hand....

"...Do you think there is?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River frowned. "Not sure. Don't think angels and demons are proof enough either. They could be misinformed."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Now there was a novel concept; that beings such as Lucifer and Aziraphale could all be under the influence of one great, elaborate ruse. Smirking sardonically, Rosette closed one eye and aimed her gun toward the cross hanging above the alter. She made a soft, shooting sound, but did not pull the trigger, only brought the gun back up and rolled her head a little toward River.

"They say the main thing about God is that you have to have faith that He exists," she offered. "Not proof, just faith. So maybe faith is the real God."

...Pity she didn't have any. Not any more, anyway.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Don't have faith either," River replied. "Seems comforting. But it's gone." She smiled at Rosette. "But some people I trust."

John entered in the morning, getting out in the rain before it got too bad.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Out of regular rain and into a rain of Nerf darts as both Rosette and Chrono fired a successtion of shots at him from their respective sides of the church.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John ducked behind a convenient pew, using the Chow Yun Fat version of ducking which involves flying tackle to the side, wishing that he had dual wielded pistols.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette grinned, rolling her eyes at the maneuver before charging forward toward the hiding spot, Nerf guns a-blazin', almost losing her cowboy hat and rather forgetting how little support and coverage this cowboy costume allowed.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I'm unarmed! You wanna fight, make it fair-er!" John popped his head up, and... ogled.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"All's fair in love and Nerf war, John," Rosette grinned and shot him right in the face. Despite the clear warning on the gun that you shouldn't do that. Rosette was a rebel.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John ducked. He may or may not look like a unicorn. However, he did have an abundance of ammo, which he threw at Rosette as he popped back up over the pew.

"Do I need to go to Sparky's and get my stash?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette giggled, lifting up a rather bare leg in a poor attempt to block the missles. "Depends. Would you be returning with vod---" And then her cowboy boot stopped on the floor. "Dammit! I forgot! I can't have vodka."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Well, why not?" John was totally appreciative of the footstompy. He started winging a few more darts at her, one at a time.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"It's Lent," Rosette pouted as she blocked each one with her hand and one with her gun. "And I gave up alcohol."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John stopped. "You poor, poor thing. When can you get back on the wagon?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette drew in a deep breath. "Come Easter, we gotta have the biggest kegger ever. Except I don't really like beer, but a sucking the still dry in the back of Sparky's for old time's sake sounds nice."
