2nd Confession [Action][Future-dated a little]

[notabluesbro]

[His back feels like shit.

...Maybe an exaggeration, but it still stood—something about the nakedness of his back was driving him insane. And that probably ruined vertebrae? It made him feel awkward and stiff at the shoulders all day prior. Strange how some things are even physically etched into your make-up over time. Forget the mental aspect of it, there's something a little more parasitic about that damn cross.

Behold, Luceti, he's emerging from the Smithy looking a lot more like himself: black suit, sure. Cigarette dangling on his lips, yes. Bitchin' Sunglasses, check. But now he's holding that ginormous cross like a shiny new present all for him. Untouched, it seems. Good. He didn't plan on showing it off any freaking time soon, but... still, he felt like he had to carry it—

Wait, what was he planning on doing with the damn thing? Carry it around the village?

Siiiiigh. Wolfwood, come on, think a little. Just shape up and get used to it...

...

He slings it over his shoulder like usual and automatically regrets this move.]

SON-OF-A-BITCH!!

[O-oh, those wings, those piss-ass wingsssss D'X

...

Yeah, good morning, Luceti.]

[You'll also catching him walking back toward Vash's place with said cross, looking a little less like he's about to kill a small furry creature. Don't mind him too, much... He's just, uh, avoiding forests because holy shit did you hear about the giant wolf?]

That's... a really big cross. Are you a ...preacher? **She was searching for the right term there**

[notabluesbro]

Wow, pretty and smart! That's right, miss, I'm a preacherman; this here is... well, a tool of the trade, so to speak. I've had it since I was a young boy. Some things can be a little trickier to part with than others, hn?

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

**Minako gawks at the huge cross, but, blushing a bit as it's hard to miss such a compliment. She really isn't that smart but... context clues and all!**

But that cross is so big! Are you planning on putting that on top of your own church when you... get your own? Or did it come from your old church? **Really, what is that thing? It's not a weapon after all~**

[notabluesbro]

[Ohohohoho, clearly it's a 'weapon for the Lord', Minako.]

[But he smiles and rubs his chin.]

Well, I had a church back home, but it was mostly an orphanage—and to make money for it, I had to go around as a traveling preacher and make some hard cash. This guy here was pretty handy for that, I'll admit...

[He smiles like usual. Not too hard to act casually about the thing, at this point. It's even a perfected art.]

You don't have a church here? Well, I'm not too sure how much good me making one would be... This place is already pretty darn spiritual without my help.

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's sweet of you! I'm sure they appreciated it.

Well, there's not a church here but... I'm sure there's people that would still go. I mean, there are native spirits here but, it's not godlike or anything.

[notabluesbro]

I so hope so, too.

Native spirits, huh? What're those like?

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

Personally, I'm not too familiar with them, but they can teach magic to people, if they try to learn.

[notabluesbro]

Huuuh, that sounds interesting... Though, I don't think it's much in my forte. What kind of stuff do they teach?

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

Elemental magic, from what I get. The fire spirits teach fire, water for water, the light spirits for healing. It's kinda basic. I think like, somewhere in the journal there's a better explanation. Or one of the adults in charge of the welcome center knows.

[notabluesbro]

Ahaaa, the journal—I forget how helpful it can be. We didn't really have much in the way of technology, back home. At least, none like this. It was hard enough keeping electricity functioning...

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, well actually, we just got all the fancy stuff not long ago. When I got here, we didn't have anything like it. But I don't think the journal is really technology. It's mostly magical

[notabluesbro]

I'm definitely not used to magic, either. The things we used to get stuff done back home would've just been guns and fists.

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

That sounds pretty dangerous actualy...

[notabluesbro]

Oh no, it was very dangerous. It's a wonder I even made it through all those years there!

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

If it's like that, you must be someone really strong... or skilled at dodging bullets

[notabluesbro]

Hahaha, well, it's probably the latter! You won't believe what kind of reflexes you gain over time.

How about you? Not much for magic yourself, miss?

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

Well... I get by on my own ability. I suppose it's something like magic.

[notabluesbro]

[He tilts his head just so.]

'Something like magic'?

[AKA "Surely you'll tell me more than just that, right?"]

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

Yup! It's something kind of like it. Not entirely, but you can think of it along the same lines

[notabluesbro]

Mmmhm, I gotcha'! It's good to know there are so many people here who can take care of themselves! You're a good fighter?

[love-me-venus.livejournal.com]

Eheh... I get by when I have too.

[notabluesbro]

Well, if you ever need any extra help, I'd be glad to assist! It's a dangerous world here, after all.

[With that, he hefts the cross a little, standing tall now that his back was feeling less achy. It did feel rewarding to have all that weight on his back, which was strange... since he'd always wanted to get rid of it.]
