Bonjour!

[m_bienvenu]

I awoke this morning to two incredible shocks. Firstly, I was alive! Secondly, I was not blind! I thanked the good God, and ran, still in my bed-dress, to the foot of the steps, shouting for my sister and Madam Magloire. Neither answered, though it was quite late enough to expect them awake, and impatient to share my miraculous transformation with

/Typist: *stunned silence* *not even fangirling* *just... lots and lots of stunnedly silent love*

(That's incredible, you've managed to shut her up!)
Welcome, monsiegneur (I believe that is the correct form of address, but I never did spend much time in France, so I apologize if I'm wrong), to a place in desperate need of your goodness and presumed non-angstiness.

[m_bienvenu]

Thank you mon frere, you may call me whatever you wish. Though the inhabitants of my see called me "Bienvenu". It makes the titles sound better, I think.

I am grateful to be needed. God bless you!

apologies for twice commenting - Mlle. Typist is still teaching me the use of this odd tableau.

Hello and welcome. While I am not a religious man, I think I can say with confidence that you will find work to do here. I will be sure to come up with an especially impressive excuse for missing any sermons.

[m_bienvenu]

Thank you! As I said, I am the Bishop of Digne-les-Bains no longer, so I believe I shall leave the official celebrations and sermons for others. though I do wield a mightily convertive theological conversation.

God bless! *grin*

[visiblemystery]

I am sure you do, but I am told I am very persuasive myself. I am sure you will forgive me for saying that I find the lures of hedonism much stronger than those of religion.

Ah! I should be amazed to hear of it if he does, and somewhat alarmed as well.

*drops to his knees with head bowed*

Monseigneur...*near speechless* Welcome.

[m_bienvenu]

Stand, stand, mon frere! I may be a short man, but I am hardly the king of Persia. *smiles, helps you up* ... *recognizes you*
Monsieur L'argent! I am surprised to meet you again! You look well - How does Providence find you?

[not24601]

Very well, sir, very well indeed.

[m_bienvenu]

Good, good! *smiles in an I-done-good sorta way* May God bless you, and keep you.

*misses his silver plates. Shall have to go confess that.*

[eagle_of_words]

Welcome, my good sir. Good luck.

[m_bienvenu]

Thank you, thank you! I hardly expected this welcome... Luck, sir? I shall merely trust in the Lord. Whatever sort of misfortune could one come across in such a community as this? Ha ha ha...

/typist note: those were some famous last words, there...

[eagle_of_words]

You do that, Monsignor. I can only hope he's stronger than desperatefans. *grin*

[Typist]Ohhhhhhh, dear. You poor man, M. Bishop.[/typist]

[the_shooter]

I am afraid I'm not religious myself, but my typist is again twisting my arm to welcome you.

*bows respectfully*

Typist: Oh, welcome, Monsignor. We are delighted to have you among us. *is nearly crying with joy*

[m_bienvenu]

Thank you, et votre Typist, aussi, for the gracious welcome. May God grant you his peace and forgiveness!

[the_shooter]

Typist: Too bad you aren't real. We could have elected you pope.

[m_bienvenu]

typist: Monsiegneur Bienvenu would never take the papacy. He'd get nothing done! ...funnily enough, I'm reading *at this very second* about 'subsidiarity' and the Catholic church - that is, keeping the good people in the community, and letting the politicians rise high enough that they're harmless. *geek*
