Nineteenth Entry [Video]

[reckless_eagle]

[Poland, dressed in his 15th century Sunday best, is in a smallish room bedecked with candles and crosses. Today, it's also decorated with white cloth hangings and flowers everywhere. After all that Lenten fasting, it appears he was able to will his room to have a chapel attached!]

So, um. I know not everyone here is Christian, but... Today's a really important day for those of us who are, and I kinda wanted to share that with people. So like, I wanted to start the day with a reading from Matthew for everyone! And Liet and I have been making tons of sweets and pisanki for today, if anyone wants to come hang out and help us eat them...

But first things first~ [He crosses himself, then picks up a huge, leather-bound Bible with vellum pages, flipping it open to a page he'd marked and beginning to read aloud. His Latin accent is actually pretty good, because he's had a LOT of practice since his baptism over 400 years ago.]

A lesson from the Gospel of Matthew:

Vespere autem sabbati quae lucescit in primam sabbati venit Maria Magdalene et altera Maria videre sepulchrum
et ecce terraemotus factus est magnus angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo et accedens revolvit lapidem et sedebat super eum
erat autem aspectus eius sicut fulgur et vestimentum eius sicut nix
prae timore autem eius exterriti sunt custodes et facti sunt velut mortui
respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus nolite timere vos scio enim quod Iesum qui crucifixus est quaeritis.

Non est hic surrexit enim sicut dixit venite videte locum ubi positus erat Dominus
et cito euntes dicite discipulis eius quia surrexit et ecce praecedit vos in Galilaeam ibi eum videbitis ecce praedixi vobis
et exierunt cito de monumento cum timore et magno gaudio currentes nuntiare discipulis eius
et ecce Iesus occurrit illis dicens havete illae autem accesserunt et tenuerunt pedes eius et adoraverunt eum
tunc ait illis Iesus nolite timere ite nuntiate fratribus meis ut eant in Galilaeam ibi me videbunt.

[He closes the Bible, and holds it up in front of him with a reverent little bow.]

The Gospel of the Lord. Thanks be to God!

[Setting the Bible aside, he gives the camera a happy smile.]

Alleluia, Christ is risen! Happy Easter, everyone ♥

[OOC: I'm... not Catholic, so there are more or less guaranteed to be little errors here. But I tried! And happy Easter to everyone from the mun, too, while I'm OOC note-ing~]

Ah.... reminds me of church back home... kind of. I'm not really religious, but I wouldn't mind coming to hang out, if that's okay with you.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[He nods at the camera]

Yeah, that's cool with me! And I'm sure it's cool with Liet, too. I mean, he hasn't even been Christian that long, so he's not gonna judge~

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

Cool. Where is your guys' room?

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Fifth floor, room 69!

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

Great! I'll be there soon, then.

[And with that, Rose is off and on her way. xD]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[He'll be expecting her!]

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

[It didn't take too long until Rose knocked on the door.]</small?

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[He opens the door, a little shy because she's a stranger]

Like, hi!

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

[Rose smiled to him and waved slightly.]

Hi. Oh, we never did get to introducing ourselves, did we...? I'm Rose Hathaway.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know, we totally didn't! I'm Poland. It's like, nice to meet you, Rose!

feel free to ignore the action and text if I'm wrong. I was assuming it would be xD

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Poland.

[Rose glanced around the room.]

Uhm.. wow... it's so... pink.

XD It's not particularly pink, actually! He's not as big on it as he will be in modern times.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, defs, you too!

[E-Even if you're apparently something scary and soul-eating :<]

Oh, mkay. I remember when they visited his house it was pink so lol!

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

[Nah, she's a good one ;D She wouldn't make you her next meal. Actually, she doesn't even drink blood. Idk how that works out but it does somehow.]

So what do you want to do?

Naaaah, he was just thinking about painting it .D.b

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Ummm... I don't know. Just hang out? I have food. If you eat food.

ohh xD

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

Well, whatever is fine. I'm just bored. Yes, I eat food.

His shirt was also particularly pink in that episode XD

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome.

Here! [He hands her this.]

lawllll

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

[Rose took it, admiring the artwork on it.]

Wow... This is food? It looks more like artwork. It's amazing.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! It's pretty much just a boiled egg, see? Except like, the egg's boiled in dye, and then you scratch patterns through the dye to the shell so they show up white!

[He's blushing a little at the compliment]

I guess I've gotten pretty good at making them. I like, used to make them WAY back when I was a pagan, and I've done it like, every spring since then~

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

It's amazing. I wouldn't have the patiance to make this. I'm not sure if I want to eat it because it looks awesome

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

I'm not really patient at all, but like, it's fun, so I get carried away! Anyway, they won't last forever whether or not you eat them, 'cause they'll get all manky and stuff if you don't, so you might as well~

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

[Rose grinned and nodded]

Ah, I guess that's true.

[She took a bite out of it]

It's really good.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[He smiles]

Like, isn't it? There's also bread and cheese and sweets over on the table.

...Hey, do you like, play chess?

[She wanted something to do, right? Also, fair warning: Poland' view on chess is.... special.]

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

[Rose smiled to him]

I'll have to get some sweets later. Chess...? No, I haven't played it before, but it wouldn't hurt to try. It's kind of like checkers, isn't it?

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Like, what's checkers?

[Not so invented, yet, though the French are sort of getting around to it XD]

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

You don't know what checkers are? Maybe they're more modern then I thought they were

I'm not exactly how to explain it.
