Of course, Elder - my men and I may not be able to make it to Church depending on sightings of rift demons, but we will give prayer at the very least.

[impure_pope]

Sometimes duty compels us to be where we ought not, but God hears our prayers nonetheless. Be safe, my son.

Thank you for your sentiment, Sir. Just curious will the Church be sending a representative to the Winter Court?

[impure_pope]

I have not quite made an official decision yet. On a related note, will your men be able to hold without you for a few days?

[So not filtered]

Hey, last time I showed up at a church, there was a lot of screaming, and efforts at hurling holy water my way, and then burning, and cries of why heaven has forsaken us, blah blah blah... Should I give it another go? I'm not sure we HAVE another church for me to pop up at.

Also, just out of curiosity, could you possibly list the most blasphemous objects or substances possible for desecration? I didn't have points to burn in Knowledge(religion).

[impure_pope]

Foul blasphemous creature. That you would hold a sacred object is enough of an affront, but to use it in such a manner? Despicable.

Know, creature, that my Templar are on the watch. Enjoy your accursed life, for it shant be yours to bear much longer.

[force_and_style]

Whoa. Back up. Your choice of words is offensive and inappropriate, and I demand you rectify this at once!

You mean to say unlife. Because my life life ran out a while back. Big difference.

You never answered the question, by the way.

[impure_pope]

You are in no position to make commands, creature. Your thin attempt to gain information on where to attack will do you no good here.

Of course, your Holiness. So long as no troubles arise, as usual, my men and myself shall be there.

[impure_pope]

Hmm... I should expect no less.

On that note, what are your thoughts on his Majesty's proclamation?

[ Filtered ]

[bastaaaaaards]

He appears pleased, which is very good, but his idea for peace... well. As wonderful as that would be, I think you and I both know that peace will never truly be obtainable.

Speaking of peace... tell me, do you plan to be by his Majesty's side during Winter Court? Surely he will want you there to ensure he is in God's favor.

[impure_pope]

Ever practical, Lady Hellsing. Though it saddens me to say, I must agree with your assessment. Therefore we must strive even harder to make his Majesty's wonderful dream a reality.

Regarding Winter Court, my first thought is Ky Kiske. However, as we are not limited to those we may take, I would also like you to accompany our group. The Hellsing family's piety has never been in doubt, and the support of such a fabled clan would do much in encouraging the Kingdoms that his Majesty's words are not false hopes.

I won't be attending.

[Filtered]

[impure_pope]

Hmmm... Major Kaiba is it? You have been rather lax in your attendance. God does not look favorably upon those who cannot show up to worship, young man.

[Filtered]

[whiterosenkreuz]

Colonel.

I do not hold any stock in what the others call 'God'.

They can believe what they like, but I don't have any interest in stories and folk tales.

[impure_pope]

To say such things to the pope himself is a sign of either courage or foolishness. Out of respect, I will assume the former, and recommend to your liege that he keep better grip of his dogs. Yapping heresies is not something I tolerate.

[verybooksmart]

I wouldn't miss the Mass for anything, Father. Is there anything I may do to help?

[impure_pope]

Hmm...

[Delacroix runs his hand across one of the windowsills and raises it, a heavy white film of dust coating it]

Tell me, Sister Aulin, what do you see here?

[verybooksmart]

A dusty windowsill?

[impure_pope]

Very good, sister Aulin. Now, realizing of course that very soon we will have many visitors of the very highest class in our Cathedral, I would think someone should do something about that, wouldn't you?
