Our Lady of Fandom; Wednesday [04/18 ]

Everything in the church had been cleaned twice over, the banners were dusted, Saint Joe's eyepatch was straightened, and all the booze had been hidden (and the still room locked). Rosette was even wearing the habit without the slits and without the armor corset ~~that suddenly appeared in book three~~. Chrono's shoes were shined.

But there was no Remington. Not yet. Rosette, finding trying to seem all proper absolutely exhausting, dropped into a pew with a groan. "Geeeeez, what's taking him so long?" she whined. "It isn't like he's got that far to go, only eighty years!" She thunked her head on the back of the pew; Chrono gave it soft, comforting pats.

Well, hadn't that been one hell of a trip.

Remington was looking forward to see how Rosette and Chrono were doing, as well as the state of the church she was running on her own. Once he arrived, he walked in and down the walkway slowly, looking around to observe the church. Then, he paused halfway there, staring down where he spotted the duo at the pew with a large grin on his face.

"Sister Rosette," Remington began, greeting her in a formal voice. "It's good to see you again."

Eeep! At the sound of that ~~crappy British accent~~ voice, Rosette jumped a little. "Oh! F..Father Remington, hi!" She very ungracefully managed to get herself out of the pew, beaming like an idiot, face already flushed and her heart practically jumping up into her throat. "You made it! Great! Long trip, huh? Should I get you something? Tea? Coffee? To help you relax a little? Have a seat! You must be tired. Eighty whole years and all that, hahaha...."

Oh, maaaaan. Rosette, when she stopped for a breath, could only sigh. He was even more handsome than she remembered...! It had been a while...

Remington chuckled, holding up a hand. "Don't worry, Rosette, right now I am fine," he assured. "We'll get to the resting when necessary. For now, I'm here to check up on you."

"Oh, right, that," Rosette chuckled nervously, still trying to keep her oh-so-winning smile of charm and grace that she was sure Remington just couldn't resist. "Well, here we are then, Our Lady of Fandom." Her hand sort of made a motion around herself to indicate the space. "Pretty basic church. Belltower, alter, confessionals, tabernacle, Steve, so on, so forth."

"Mmmmm." Remington glanced around again, this time paying more attention to detail. "I see. So far it looks as if you've been doing a fine job. Have things been running as smoothly as they look?"

Another laugh, beaming smile up at him. He was so tall and just....important seeming. Rosette sighed a little before continuing. "Of course they have! It's a very nice little community. Nothing really happens much; bunch of old ladies that come in a lot, but it's pretty quiet. Rather silly of them to send you, because it was really not needed. Oh! Not, uh, to say, um, that I mind! It's very nice to see you again! How are things back home? Going well, yeah? Hehehe."

The whole time, Rosette's eyes may have darted around a little to spot Chrono and make sure he wasn't make expression that might contradict her words, like rolling his eyes or shaking his head or something.

"Is it?" Remington asked, turning his eyes back toward Rosette. "It's not every day we send a member of the Order off on their own. It's important to see how they're doing." He playfully added mentally, Especially someone like you, Rosette. "Everything has been running as normal. Sister Kate has been doing a fine job keeping everything in order."

"Sister Kate! Bet she's actually seeming somewhat sane these days with me out of the place, right? Har har." Grinning cheesily, Rosette made to nudge her shoulder into Remington jokingly, then decided not to, bounced a little idly, and her eyes drifted around a little. Mmm, yeah, not...awkward...at all. Nope. Hum hum.

"...So...."

So cuuuuuuuute. Siiiigh. Rosette idly wondered if they had selected Remington to come check up on her or if he'd volunteered because he'd missed her. Had to be the second one. How could he not miss her, right?

"She won't admit it, but I'm sure she misses you around," Remington said through a chuckle. "You realize, it's just too quiet now. So," he echoed, facing up towards where Chrono was. "Have you been well, too?"

"Fine," Chrono said, simply, being oh-so-helpful.

Rosette was too busy swooning, which she'd deny, and wondering if Remington missed her being around, too, which just made Chrono shake his head, really rather wishing he didn't have to try to make small talk with Ewan because of Rosette's little crush on him.

That, however, didn't seem to bother Remington. "Aside from the church," he said, folding his arms behind his back. "Tell me about this little town. I've only came directly here once I arrived."

"Well," Rosette drew herself up to make herself look important to match her very intelligent tone, "Like I said, it's quiet, with the exception of the occational, minor little invation of silly things like trolls and such, which, of course, are of no consequence. You have the town, which isn't anything much, because really the key focus of the island is the high school. Several students have taken a bit of an interest in the church. We even have a little choir girl who comes and sings some time, and, see this thing? I call him Steve. He was donated to the church by one of the shop owners in town. Very nice community, does things like that." Rosette nodded. She was certain Remington would be impressed.

Invasion of trolls? This made Remington raise an eyebrow; but, coming from a place where demons occasionally run around causing trouble, he didn't question their existance. "It does seem like a very quaint area," he said. "I take it you've been enjoying your time here?"

"I have," Rosette nodded. "But...it...does get really hard sometimes. You know I just want to get out there and find Joshua, but I'm almost done, right? Just gotta make it through some of the summer, and my year will be up, right? No more wasting time with this technical bullsh-- errr, um, techinicalities."

He nodded. "That's correct," Remington replied. "I know how badly you want to find your brother, but, as of right now, you need to be a little more prepared." He set a hand on Rosette's shoulder. "Even if this seems pointless, it will be worth it."

Rosette sighed. "...Yeah," she responded quietly, trying not to be too put off because half of her was almost hoping this whole thing would be Remington waltzing in here, announcing that she could even leave to go find Joshua right that second if she wanted to. Which she would. In a heartbeat. Her eyes fell away for a moment before flitting back up toward Remington. "How do we even know he's still okay, though? It's been so long since we found out..."

"We don't, unfortunately," Remington replied honestly. "Aion and his circle are no ordinary demons that are easy to keep a track of. He does no good, but he's smart, which makes it rather hard for us to stay on his trail."

Which wasn't what Rosette wanted to hear, at all, even though she knew she should have expected it. She was quiet, staring angrilly off toward a corner of the church. Why couldn't they just let her go? What if it was too late?

She drew in a deep breath. Late for what? They didn't even really know what they were doing with Joshua, not really. Just...

"Azmaria? How is she?" And, trying to lighten the mood again, "Can she carry a tray of tea without tripping over her own feet yet?"

Remington patted her shoulder before recoiling his hand back behind his back. He knew she didn't, but that was absolutely nothing he was going to lie about. With some luck on their side, Remington knew they-- she, rather-- would manage to get Joshua back. Even if he knew Rosette was far from being the most proper, perfect nun, her determination was enough to make up for that.

"Azmaria is as fine as ever," Remington answered with another grin. "She's taken up the choir while you are here, but she's anxious for your return."

"I miss 'er," Rosette sighed, "but it's good to know that she's doing good and she misses me, too..." She sucked in another breath. "So, how long you gonna stay here to check up on things?" She had to strategize on how long she'd have to try to make things run like Fandom was normal and all that...

"Not too long," Remington said. "The longest will be until Sunday. I'm sure by then I'll have a good enough report done."

"Report?" Rosette gawked, and forgot about an external filter ot her thoughts. "That's, like..." Quick counting on her fingers. "Five days! You sure it's a report and not a book you're writing?"
