Before Mass

[shotapope]

[The Church is empty as the drone congregation is long gone. feel free to sit down or speak with others.]

[ofroyalred]

[THREE GUESSES AS TO WHO IS AN OVER-ACHIEVING HONOR STUDENT AND THE FIRST TWO DON'T COUNT

By that I mean

She's sitting right there, third row, near the center. And has been there. For a while. Punctual, attentive, right there.]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Someone is in the back, in the second-to-last pew, diagonally across from the pulpit. Ilsa doesn't carry a rosary, but she is sitting in a meditative pose. ]

[Bazett, as she has promised, has come to Alessandro's Mass. She sits down in the center. Usually, she would sit in the back, but she is curious as to what Alessandro's Mass will entail and thus sits closer so she can listen better.]

During Mass

[shotapope]

[It is time, Alessandro, dressed in his Papal robes comes out. He stops before the alter to cross himself before stepping up to speak to everyone at the podium. He looks like he's going to be sick, but he's holding up fairly well for those who know him.]

G-Gloria Patri, et Filio, et S-Spiritui Sancto. S-Sicut erat in p-principio, et nunc, et s-semper, et in s-Saecula saeculorum. Amen.

[He wouldn't do the entire thing in Latin like it normally was done. But it felt awkward not to speak the prayers in the formal language of the Church.]

Th-thank you everyone... for j-joining me this e-evening.... I w-will try and do m-my best....

W-we have all come here to a p-place full of hardship. B-but I'm sure as l-long as we have each other and l-look out for o-one another we c-can pull through....

[He wasn't really sure what else to say.G-God will always l-look out for us, and e-even though it gets hard and w-we wonder why He w-won't intervene, it d-does not mean He d-doesn't care. I-it is not our p-place to question H-His will, it m-may

[Bazett frowns a little bit as she listens. The content is good, as expected for a Pope, but his method of delivery is a little off. She will sit back and wait for him to continue on.]

( Spain is listening attentively-- or, at least, as much as he can. He's noticed the stammering and how uncomfortable the boy seems and Spain takes a moment to look around at the others to see how they are reacting.

He will lean over to Bazett who is next to him to whisper, )

Does he look ill to you too?

[answerer_sword]

[She just glares at him. It is rude to talk during Mass, especially since Alessandro seems to be trying so hard. However, upon closer examination, the boy does seem to be more pale than usual.]

Just a little.

[She whispers back.]

Euchrist (please post)

[shotapope]

[Ready for your Jesus flesh and blood? Well Alessandro is ready to give them out and bless you. He looks sicker than he did earlier however.]

After Mass (Let me post this too LJ)

[shotapope]

[Mass is over! Alessandro probably fainted several times during it... not a very awe inspiring religious figure, but he genuinely tried his best! Mingle, speak to him, run home now that your duty has been fulfilled, it's all up to you.]

[pasodoble]

( Spain will go to speak to Alessandro! He'll try to catch him before he leaves or faints again. )

Ah, one moment, I wanted to thank you for tonight: Gracias.

[shotapope]

[He looks like he went through a great trial, but otherwise seems happy.]

I should be the one th-thanking you. Th-thank you for c-coming tonight.

[pasodoble]

You don't have to; I come regularly. Compared to the usual services, this one was refreshing.

( Drone services are even more boring than regular ones 8( )
