And if I believe you [OPEN]
Who: Nicholas D. Wolfwood and YOU
What: Wolfwood gets a [nondenominational but it's also definitely Catholic] church
When: Throughout January after the event
Where: The Grove
Warnings: N/A will edit if needed
[A new building has appeared in the South part of the Grove.
It's small. It's exterior seems dilapidated and old despite its newness, and- at least for the first day it's around- every window is shattered and decrepit looking. This is the building that Wolfwood had asked Heimr to build for him, and honestly he was not expecting it to look this bad. It's actually kindof impressive. Like, dude, you have...magic, how could you not have made it look less shitty than this-
But, well. If anybody is wondering what it is, the shape of its steeple and the fact its topped with a little cross would clue anyone in who has familiarity with such iconography that this is, in fact, a Church. A Church that has little by way of entertainment to offer guests, but should you wander inside...
It's just as run down as the outside, though mostly because there's plant life growing everywhere. It's structurally sound otherwise, mostly, and it's clear given how some of the vines have been torn away recently that someone is trying to clean it up. It's...depending on when you find it, either empty, or there's Elsword watching you from the rafters because Wolfwood hasn't figured out how to remove him yet. He may just live here now.
Other than that though, there are books that you can pull from behind the pews to read. Bibles- "Bibles"- that don't seem to conform to any religion so much as it talks about a strange sort of religious order surrounding "Plants", so that probably isn't suspicious at all.
At the head of the sanctuary is a pulpit where a pastor might presumably give a sermon, and off to the side of it is a confessional box. The confessional box has a piece of notebook paper taped to it that reads "5 shells for 15 minutes. Confess all of your sins. -W"
The pulpit itself, if this building's owner wasn't clear enough, has a little plaque on it that reads, as if sarcastically: Saint Nicholas]

I let the deer call me that because I don't want to fight her, you on the other hand...
[Don't test him!!]
You don't know me, not as much as you claim to.
no subject
[Armed. Dangerous. ...fascinated by cheese. These are the facets of a garg.]
I do not know the "new" you. I did know the old you.
no subject
I'll keep that in mind.
[He does remember this guy's cheese obsession. Maybe if they spar, Wolfwood will load his pockets with cheddar and throw it to distract him. Hm.]
Yeah. But you also just said I haven't really changed.
no subject
These thoughts can exist simultaneously. You haven't changed, but you are also different. I suppose it might be difficult to understand when you haven't lived as long as I have? You were still a bit grouchy, even if it was very cute back then, but you didn't carry this...
[His tail flicks, and he frowns.]
...sadness to you. You all came back here sad.
no subject
[He shrugs his shoulders.]
I'd be more surprised if people didn't come back sad.
no subject
...did no one get to reincarnate into a happier world than this one? Even the twins are different — they still argue like they used to, but it feels wrong now.
no subject
Dunno what version of those two you think you used to know, but right now? You're lucky that they aren't tearing each other apart. They would be, if Knives had full access to his powers.
no subject
[oh my god]
Between you and me, Little Wolf, [stop] he used to be the outgoing child. He used to love this world and everyone in it.
no subject
[It is the worst fucking thing, he knows.]
...I have a real hard time believing that. Like, I wouldn't even believe it if he told me himself.
no subject
[He flips his other wrist. The drama is necessary, thank you.]
But, more seriously, if all I knew was a little shit who stabbed walls and named himself after cutlery, I would have a difficult time believing it as well.
no subject
[Wolfwood rolls his eyes. Nai, stabbing things? Say it ain't sooooo.]
But...it sounds like we know different Knives'. And to be frank, I feel like I barely know him at all. In my world, all he's ever been is...
[The reason his life is miserable-]
...ruthless. A tyrant.
no subject
[Zahliya tries not to let it show on his face, but he is very, hopelessly miserable about this.]
Happiness must be difficult to achieve, no?
no subject
He sighs, leaning back against the side of the church building.]
...it's harder than you think, even when you have everything you think you want. I dunno what my life was like here, but...I can promise you it was probably better than how it is now.
no subject
[Zahliya voice: murder is okay]
no subject
...that thing can be stabbed?
no subject
[...]
I simply have not encountered the false God in a stabbable form yet, or at all, but I am working on it.
no subject
And you ain't afraid of it gettin' you if you try that?
no subject
I'm pretty sure I can just stab it.
