When I was young, it was imperative that I was to go to confession every holiday. Christmas, Easter, saints' feasts, even Halloween. The priest was always impatient with kids, would command the same of me every time: six Hail Marys and personal apologies to everyone I had wronged (talk about an intimidating thought

What did you do wrong this time?

You probably should get that thing a leash. Or a muzzle. Maybe both.

[failedstampede]

Haha, thankfully it's nothing I've done, per se. But sometimes you need to clean out your mind, and confession does help with that. Albeit in the most terrifying, awkward way.

But Enzio's my pride and joy, you know. He does the things I wouldn't do, it's kind of refreshing watching him. I can't say the priest's tripling of the Hail Mary orders after that one incident was very fun, though.

[conflagrazione]

If it's about...

At least the leash. It won't be good to Vongola's image if you manage to wind up in jail because of that thing.

[failedstampede]

You worry too much.

Can't say it'd be good for the Cavallone family, either, if they lost their boss to jail. But Enzio's a refined turtle; he only bites people who deserve it. So you're safe, of course.

Could be worse. Could be six Hail Marys, two Our Fathers and an Apostle's Creed. Lost count how many times I got that .

...What you should do is don't bring your turtle to visit.

[failedstampede]

!!! What--! I got that once, too! I was asking for it, though; you'd think I'd have the common sense not to confess the real secrets. ....So, did you do them? Everything the priest told you to?

(You went to confession back then, too?)

....Enzio says hello.

[xanxus]

Well yeah. Said them as fast as I could, mumbled through the creed...the only one I didn't do when when I was ordered to do an entire rosary. Good times.

(And yeah, I went. We're Italian kids. We all went. Don't now, of course.)

...I say nothing.

[failedstampede]

...Sorry for laughing, that's just -- wow. And here I thought I was pathetic for doing absolutely all that was ordered -- what the hell would you get that so often for, though? Did you start speaking in tongues a couple times or something?

(Would you ever consider doing it again?)

...Enzio says 'chomps-at-Dino's-hair-in-lovelorn-strife.'

[hibarisama]

That man up there knows you're around. He's going to flip if he hears anymore of your confessions - you don't know where to start, but when you do, can't put a fullstop to it all. That's how many sins you've committed through all your life - countless. He'll plan an early death for you.

[failedstampede]

..........

Why don't you name a few of them, then? Since you're so sure.

[hibarisama]

Your manners aren't very intact today.

[failedstampede]

N -- my manners...?! I'm just asking where on earth you got that idea from.

[prince_reaper]

...The priest kicked me out saying that the Lord God could only forgive a murderer if I meant it. ._..
That and about two rounds of the rosary every night. Stopped now though, but rosaries make pretty necklaces.
I couldn't apologize to the person I wronged though *snickers* ushishishis!

would that person happen to be boss?

[failedstampede]

Hahaha -- well, yeah, an unspoken rule of confession is that you have to mean it. Rosaries do make good fashion statements, even on murderers' necks.

Him too. A few people.

[prince_reaper]

...hm, oh yeah. O_o Mafia men who wear rosaries amuse me. *snickers* Tiaras are better, but then they can't wear them since they're not princes. *snickers again*

O_o I guess Enzio enjoyed meeting boss, huh? Who else? o.O

[failedstampede]

If I told you I sometimes wear one (with good reason!), you would probably laugh, wouldn't you? Aw well, I laugh at myself after the fact. I think you've gotta have a certain disposition to look good in a tiara, anyway. It's a very delicate circumstance, tiara-wearing.

He's obsessed, it's almost scary. ...Shhhh, it's not worth talking about.

[china_pin]

M-ma says confession's a waste of time, but if it's to repent your sins, maybe I should go. *sad and nervous*

[failedstampede]

Hey now... Tell me what's wrong and I'll absolve your sins instead of some stranger behind a screen -- reassure you, at least, you didn't do anything wrong, as I have an idea who this concerns. *patpat*

[china_pin]

;o; Oh, Dino-san, I messed up really bad. :'( *uses a small, defeated voice*

[failedstampede]

*!! don't be sadddd!!* No, you didn't. But tell me what happened, at least in a nutshell.
