13th_crusader[†]Habakkuk 1:2-4
O Lord, how long shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save!
Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold injustice? Why dost Thou tolerate wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.
Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice doth not prevail: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.[†]
[☨]Upon his knees, nearly prostrate, the archbishop sits upon the remains of the foyer. As the Holy Spirit would have it, the flames were dowsed and those inside were whisked to safety by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The threshold was charred, the back window was shattered, and the back pews, carpet, and tapestries were blackened, yet there was nothing that could not be saved and refurbished. Escaping by the skin of their necks was the only thing he was grateful for--Whilst the other 90% of himself was seething at the lack of judgment.
In Maxwell's quavering hand was fisted the 30 silver coins he had used to pay the Pope's ransom. He snarled as the livid hatred boiled up in him and tossed the shimmering coinage into the middle of the temple.[☨]
There is no justice, Lord! None! I do not believe a single solitary soul can even fathom it in this misbegotten place!

Madam Lilith... Might I request an audience with you?

... I leave for two weeks and the church is gone? what's this mess.
Date: 2010-07-04 06:28 pm (UTC)She looks positively mortified, seeing as how two weeks ago this place was...well, in tact.]
...What happened? [She murmurs to herself as she takes in the damage, not exactly wanting to interrupt Maxwell's tantrum, as it were.]
It's still there, just the foyer was burned 8)
Date: 2010-07-04 10:10 pm (UTC)Ah? You did not hear, Signorina? The church was attacked by a nasty little would-be viking.
Iscariot's efforts against him allowed this house to remain relatively intact.

Date: 2010-07-04 10:22 pm (UTC)She nearly jumps from the sudden voice, turning quickly to regard the ma behind her. Offering that ever-nervous smile, she shakes her head, hands clasping together in front of her.]
N-no, I didn'... [She wasn't going to mention she'd been camping out in her coffin for the past two weeks.]
A-at least th'majority of th'church is still t'gether. ...No one was hurt, righ'?
/pats yer silly head <3
Date: 2010-07-04 11:02 pm (UTC)Stepping just past the foyer, things looked rather scatheless save for the hole in the window at the back. Anderson had broken and fixed it once before, he could surely do it again.]
Not a single casualty I'm proud to say.
[There was that 'Buttero' he landed on, but who cares about that? He probably deserved to have a sign from heaven crash down upon him.]
We will reequip and restore just as we always have against such violent heretics. We cannot have them think they've shaken our faith; that's what they want.
