Is there anyone here experienced in construction?

[Private to Abel Nightroad//Unhackable]

Father Nightroad, I need to talk to you about the church. Ky Kiske told me he spoke with you on the matter before leaving.

A word about the shelter, Tony.

Can it wait? I have a wedding reception to go to.

Well, if you want. I thought it would be a good idea to clear the air, but the when doesn't matter so much to me...

The air seems pretty clear from where I'm standing. Maybe a bit frosty, but damn clear.

Only natural this time of year. We've another week until Spring. Can't say I've been feeling the chill, though.

I don't see why you'd be put out by this. The job of managing the church as a church has now been returned to people who truly desire it, and you may continue to manage the shelter as you have been. No previously established rules of the shelter will be changed. However, I will endeavor to create a separate building for the shelter, one better equipped to its needs. And when it is complete, I will give you the keys in exchange for the set of church keys you currently possess.

Everyone will have what they want.

This may come as a shock to you, lady, but I don't actually trust you to keep your word.

... English isn't my first language, but I can't see what in that comment resembles a trick or a trap. It's a straightforward trade at the time of completion. I did not say: "Here, give me your keys while you hold this package bomb."

I mean about keeping the other one of you nuns off the grounds. Or didn't Ky even mention that part?

Keeping my partner away from church? No, that was not brought up in the discussion.

private//unhackable

[darkest0knight]

Figures.

...Well, how's this? Keep her away until we can separate Church and State the shelter from the church completely, and then you guys can do whatever you want over there. Have an orgy or whatever. Knock yourselves out.

Disrespectful little--

What's the problem, Tony, afraid she's going to come shoot you~? She won't be able. The new wards prevent people from entering with intent to harm others on the property.

I think she gives the church and the shelter a bad image. And Ky pretty much agreed, in that case.

private//unhackable

[sister_samurai]

An opinion he did not share with me. In fact, she did not enter our conversation whatsoever. My instruction was to keep my set of keys to myself, which I promised.

It's funny... I recall a conversation in regards to telling Walter Dornez to stay away, which you refused to agree to. A beast who ground my father's ashes into his boots and called him trash. "Not unless we need the help," you said. "There are wards," you said.

This may come as a shock to you, Mister, but I don't care about your feelings anymore than you care about mine.

I will not encourage Heinkel to volunteer. Indeed, I'll do one better for you than you did for me and promise that I will never ask her to come, even in the event we need the extra hands. But if she wishes to attend Mass on Sundays, I will not forbid it.

From what Walter's told me about what your stupid sect did to London, I'm not so sure he didn't deserve it.

I don't know how you got away with getting the job at the chapel without confessing your history to Ky, but she's a psycho fanatic and I'm not letting her into the shelter. Period.

FATHER ANDERSON IS A GOOD MAN!!! He spent his life destroying undead filth that'd suck towns dry and leave nothing but flesh-eating ghouls behind!! He made me and a lot of other children feel safe and loved for the first time in our lives!!

Oh, but of course you hang around with Walter Dornez, Alucard, Cirucci Thunderwitch, and God knows what other homicidal monsters, yet act so outraged with me and mine for having killed. What consistent, logical morality you have! Take a good look in the mirror one day, Tony Foster, and you'll find there's a hypocrite staring back at you!

Always, it has been I who must work with you, and never you who will work with me. And always, it has been your shelter, and only yours, to claim and order, regardless of how much organization I have done, how much I've contributed, how many hours I have personally put into it! Who's kept the shelter running during the multiple times you've gotten yourself incapacitated since its opening? I HAVE!!!

But now that Ky has so gracefully corrected his mistaken initial arrangement, you have no right to dictate to me anymore. Period.

From this point forward, shelter hours are from 6 PM to 10 AM everyday except for Sunday, when guests are expected to rise and begin clearing out for the day at 8 AM. This is more than enough time for dinner, sleep, and breakfast, and it is common for shelters in the normal world to expect guests to go elsewhere for the day. During the other hours of the day, the church will serve its religious function, during which time any Catholic who wishes to visit may do so.

The rule against violence on church grounds rule will still apply to everyone, regardless of the hour. Anyone threatening to become violent or displaying other aggressive behaviors on the premises will be asked to leave right away, no matter who they are.
