Our Lady of Fandom; Saturday [ 03/10 ]

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

The room at the bottom of the stairs had started flooding, it seemed, halfway through the night, which meant that Rosette and Chrono hadn't become fully aware of it until it had seeped into their beds and left them waking up to a quickly rising level of water. What followed was rather chaotic: Rosette was in desperate need to save the small stash of booze under her bed, but Chrono seemed insistant that it could be spared while they got to higher ground.

Which didn't seem to help, especially since any attempts to keep the water from flooding into the church were thwarted (believe it or not, a bowl and a cup wasn't working fast enough to bail it out...especially since they had no where to put the water once they'd scooped it).

Well, it looked like she and Chrono were going to hang out on the ledge where the statue of the eyepatched Saint Joseph the Worker stood. The water was nearly over Chrono's poor head, but he was a little short. Rosette sighed. This wouldn't be bad at all if it were maybe warmer...

Somehow, she'd also managed to get outside and change the sign, though.

Saturday
Special on Baptisms


[[ open for all your churchly needs, but, woe, I got suckered into a nine hour shift today and won't be available until later tonight. Mod Chrono if you really need anything (except you, Lucifer *shake fist*), but if you don't mind SP, neither do I~ =D ]]

John showed up in his wonderful boat-o-matic (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1491926.html?view=67184598#t67184598). "Ahoooooy Roseeeeette!" he called.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Ahoy!" Rosette responded back, waving from where she sat on one side of Saint Joe. "Hope that thing's doesn't go too deep; you'll have to watch out tops of the pews!" She chuckled as she gave the makeshift boat another look. "Surprised you made it all the way over here in that thing."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Hey! If you keep disparaging the craftsmanship of my boat, I'll not invite you back to Sparky's for dry beds and showers." One of the paddle hands may have flicked Rosette off. No, clearly just her imagination.

"And b'sides, it's the spare bathtub, not the good bathtub."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette inspected the boat and John a moment before responding. "...Hot showers?" she asked, because clarification in this case was very important.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Of course! In that nice big bathtub. The claw-foot one?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

After dealing with the flooded church all day, a hot shower sounded divine. "Hot dog!" Rosette said, excitedly, and then regretted it because her stomach rumbled; she hadn't had anything to eat, either, because their food supply was also floodinated. She climbed to her feet. "And it's such perfect sailing weather, too. Too bad ol' Joe here can't come." She leaned on the statue; she'd grown rather fond of it, having been sitting next to him all day.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John looked at the statue. "If you're thinking of bringing him along..." he looked at his paddle-boat-o-matic, "we're gonna need a bigger boat."

He had heard the stomach rumble. "We have food?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette smirked and peered around the statue at Chrono. "Nah, I think we can leave him here, don't you?"

And then she turned to John. "Food is good, too...."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"We have ways to cook food?" John grinned. Rosette was totally gonna crash at Sparky's!

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," Rosette grinned. "A-sailing we will go, then!" And, to show how ready she was for a psuedo-sea adventure, she snatched off St. Joe's eyepatch and affixxed it onto her own eye. "So ready now."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Awesome! We may have to cut through the park. I heard there's something going on there."

John's too caught up in the happy to ask if Rosette brought everything she'd need. Or ask Chrono. Speaking of Chrono...

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Rosette asked, looking at the boat thoughtfully and wondering how to manage thing, and it was okay about asking she'd brought everything she'd need, because everything she'd need was underwater, so the answer would be no. "What would be happening there?"

And then she looked at John expectantly, because, yeah, she was gonna need some help getting into the boat without falling right on her butt. Or face. Or into the water.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John held out his hand, as any gallant gentleman would, to help Rosette step over the edge into his boat. Wow...those side slits go reeeeeeally far.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

That they did. Rosette beamed as she took his offered hand to help her up, even if she might not really...

Just as she was thinking that, her toe caught on the edge of the boat and she tripped forward into John.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John was not exactly paying attention to where Rosette's feet were going (gee, wonder why?)... which is why he failed to catch Rosette in a dignified and graceful manner.

Which is how he ended up with a crotch full of nun face and a double handful of nun boobs.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette's first impression was to blush, staring slightly with wide, shocked eyes. A lot. Not so much for her position or the groping, but for the fact that she'd actually fallen. A second later, though, taking into consideration the position and the groping, her head ducked slightly and she burst out laughing. Her hands groped at John's arms to get a good hold so she could pull herself up, but the amusement was getting to her and, every time she tried, she just started laughing harder.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John was laughing too. "Hey! There's no laughing at my crotch!" Just to emphasise his point, he gave a minor squeeze as he tried to help her up.

The laughing so hard that muscles didn't listen did not help.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette had managed, clumbsily, giggly, to get up, thanks to finally getting a hold of his arms and using John to help, but his words only made it worse. She snorted slightly, "I...I can't help it," she giggled. "But at least now I know your girl problem from the other day is over."

That...couldn't really be said without a blush, though, and she quickly diverted her attention to something she was much more familiar with. Her chest. "You miss having boobs this badly, huh?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Hey. Just because you have boobs and I'm grabbing 'em doesn't mean I miss mine. I said that out loud, didn't I?". He stuck his tongue out at her. "ANd thanks for noticing that I'm a guy again."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Kinda hard not to," Rosette muttered, the wry tone contrasting instantly with the blush still in her cheeks. "Anyway," she said with a deep breath, "let's see how sea worthy this thing is, huh?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John takes that as a huge compliment. So does Littlejohn.

"Sure!" He stops. "Aren't we forgetting something?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette's head tilted. "What?"

Behind her, Chrono cleared his throat.

"Oh, right. Well, Chrono, get it."

Chrono inspected the boat. "Don't know if there's room. I say we commandeer it and throw John off."

"Oooh! I've always wanted to commandeer a boat!" She grinned at John, vaguely threatening.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John crossed his arms. "I'm the skipper of this vessel. It doesn't go anywhere without me." The paddle hands flicked Chrono off. "No mutiny on my bounty, hyarrr."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Chrono was wondering if those paddle hands just flicked him off.

Rosette scratched her head a little. "Can it handle all three of us?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I don't htink so. It's not a huge tub, and with all the clank parts, it's... kinda full up." John does, however, get an idea as he sees an old metal washtub float by. It's an evil idea.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Rosette also spotted the washtub, watching it as she floated by, and, perhaps, the same evil idea tugged her lips into a grin. She smirked at John, lifted her chin slightly. "Where's the rope?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

He grinned and pointed behind her. "Think it'll work?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"How could it not?" Rosette asked, grinning and nodding toward the floating washtub for John to go get it while she got the rope.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

JOhn fished the tub over to the BEst Boat Evaaar and tried hard to keep from grinning like that. "Perfect! Seaworthy and comfortable."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"I am not riding in that thing!" Chrono didn't look to pleased about the personal accomidations.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm captain of the ship"--the paddlehands saluted him--"so I must remain in and captain the ship. So... that leaves you two to figure it out. Unless you want to sit on the outrigger." John pointed to the stabilizer, made of empty 5 gallon water jugs and attached to the main hull with two by twos.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Well, clearly," Rosette reasoned, "the first mate has to ride with the captain, and then the cabin boy gets shafted and has to ride in the out...boat...thing. So it all depends, John, who's your first mate?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Hrm. Decisions, decisions. That all depends on who's more seaworthy and equipped with their own flotation devices and more experienced period with nautical terms and sailology." John was totally staying neutral on this. Despite oglation and grabbation of Rosettes boobs to the contrary.

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Sailology isn't even a word," Chrono pointed out.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"You lose points for antagonizing the captain."

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"I win?" Rosette asked, smiling at John cutely. Not that she had any doubt that he'd pick her over Chrono.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I suppose? You're already in the boat." ...cuuuutesmiiiiiile...

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

Realizing that things were degenerating into the two of them just cutely smiling at each other, Chrono sighed and went over to the little metal washtub and carefully took his place inside of it.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

JOhn kinda didn't notice until the boat started paddling off. "right then," he said, tying the line off. "Set sail for Sparky's!"
