Nineteenth Entry [Video]
[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~]

Yeah, for sure! We like, spent a lot of yesterday cooking. Easter's like, one of the most important feast days~
no subject
[He giggles a little.]
Who were you cooking with?
no subject
Oh... Liet. My, um, my best friend.
[He is sure that that warm, blushy feeling is just 'cause they're talking about Lithuania :|b]
Beeep! Forbidden love-dar ping
[Ahh, embarrassed about it, was he? He had a feeling it was more than that.]
Noooo, what are you talking about? ;)
[Fffff, blushing, why won't it stop ;;;;]
That forbidden love, the one right there! *points*
What I don't see it ;;; Lies and deceit!
Well, um, like... You might know him as "Lithuania", that's his whole name. Liet's just my nickname for him, from the word his people have for him, and no one else really calls him that...
We've known each other forever, and we've always had pretty close trade and hung out and stuff. Um, he's the kingdom--well, Grand Duchy-- right next door to me at home, so we've always had some stuff in common. Like, we both grow tons of grain, and we're both into raising horses, and stuff.
[The nervous fidgeting with his hair that he usually does when talking to strangers face to face is turning out not to be a great plan; the feeling of his hair being tugged even just a bit makes something twist in him a little, which he tries to ignore.]
He's like, a good cook, and a great ally on the battlefield, and super nice and patient and all. So like... yeah...
I'm onto you!
>_>
[He gets up and does so, lingering over near the window in the hopes that the fresh air will clear his head a bit] A-Anyway, yeah, like I said, he's my best friend! Our trade is strong and we have a pretty awesome military alliance and our royal houses are linked and everything.
Re: >_>
I see.
[He wasn't sure how those things translated into emotions for a country, but it seemed like it mus be a good thing.]
The food is really quite goo, is it traditional for the holy day?
no subject
Yeah, totally! The priests didn't used to let me do the decorated egg thing, 'cause like, I used to make them for the feast of spring when I was a little kid and hadn't learned about Christianity, but they lifted the ban a couple of hundred years ago and said it's okay as long as it's properly blessed! I'm glad, 'cause they're way fun to make.
no subject
[He pauses to examine one.]
It must take a delicate hand to do this.
no subject
no subject
[He eyes the other man to see if there is any improvement.]
no subject
[There WAS slight improvement, until he notices Yujinn eying him, and the awkward blushy-ness gets cranked back up to 11!]
no subject
[He reaches out to touch his forehead, the man seems feverish...]
no subject
Y-Yeah, I'm totally fine! Um, can you--can you not touch me?
no subject
...
You seem ill, perhaps you should lie down? [He sounds concerned.]
no subject
Ummm... Yeah. Yeah, that totally must be it! I like, hate to be a bad host and stuff, but could we maybe hang out some other time instead? I... should totally rest.
no subject
It's no problem, I will leave you to rest.
no subject
Okay! It was cool meeting you, let's hang out some other time!
[NO GTFO PLZ SO I CAN PRAY AWAY THE EVIL THOUGHTS ;;;]
