February 13, 2000

**NOTE: I missed the very beginning and stopped archiving a little early, but the you have the "ritual" that's what this archive was for... *grin* ...enjoy.

Alexander Tarquine: ~nods~ yes Father...

Simon Everson: *shakes his head* No daisy *touching her behind the ear* never..

Simon Everson: *arches his eyebrow at the "Rituals part"*

Simon Everson: *hold Daisy's hands and heads out the main room*

Daisy Mae Everson: *smiles at Simon and goes out to the main room*

Finnuala Rosher: *Her eyes rest on the cross of red and gold splintered appearance on her chest, and contemplates the events last night*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~he motions over to Daisy and hands her the wet dove~

Simon Everson: *arches an eyebrow, grits his teeth not to say anything*

Daisy Mae Everson: *glances at Father Quinn briefly... she just can't shake the image of that couple on the altar from her mind*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~motions Jon to light the candels and waves a hand to alexander~

Daisy Mae Everson: *goes over to Father Quinn and takes the dove from him*

Finnuala Rosher: ((Poor Daisy! *L*))

Alexander Tarquine: ~approaches Quinn, putting himself at the Fther's command~

Daisy Mae Everson: (it threw her for a loop i tell ya..)

Jonathon Spader : *Jon moves to light the candles, invoking a silent prayer as he does, building his faith*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~touches the holy water, and it flows red as blood~"..And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary. ..

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~he sprinkles the water on the altar~

Bobby Tarquine : *pulls up outside*

Simon Everson: *makes sure he's near the back*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): *takes a wine cup and pours it around the altar*

Daisy Mae Everson: *blinks as the water changes, but remains quiet, observes and listens... holding the wet dove*

Finnuala Rosher: *Instinctively is on the alert for anything intrusive, demonic or otherwise*

Bobby Tarquine : *Slowly makes his way out of the car and heads for the chapel*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;

Simon Everson: *Just observes..everything*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

Bobby Tarquine : *grips the door handles... his knuckles turning white... takes a deep breath in... then slowly lets it out... opening the door...*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~looks up at Daisy~

Finnuala Rosher: *Faith starts to emanate from her and join with Jonathon's*

Simon Everson: *slowly expands his faith to daisy*

Bobby Tarquine : *notices that they are doing somthing.. quitely enters and stands to the side of the door*

Simon Everson: *Then he sends it all around*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~he has not added his faith yet~

Finnuala Rosher: *Looks to the door and nods calmly to Bobby to be welcome.*

Daisy Mae Everson: *not sure of what she is suppose to do... but she moves closer to the altar with the bird.. looks at Father Quinn...*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~nods to her to show her she's doing it correctly, the looks at alexande(who's not here)r~

Bobby Tarquine : *Doesnb't want to intrude or interupt... just stands and watches*

Jonathon Spader : *after finishing with the candles, Jon will place his hands flat lightly on the altar*

Daisy Mae Everson: *her hands slightly shaking... she set the dove on the altar, she sgently holding it, so it does not flee*

Finnuala Rosher: ((Das verdammt boot hast Alexander vertrappt))

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~gently rest his hand on diasy so she let's go, then motions for jon to move~

Allison Lurker: [[*huggles all and then runs away to come back and huggle some other day *S*]]

Bobby Tarquine : [[ his computer crashed... he'll be back in a few.. unless he is throwing it out the window...]] *Wonders about the bird... but then agian always slept during sunday school*

Jonathon Spader : *Jon will move as per indicated, and make space*

Daisy Mae Everson: *slowly moves her hands away from the dove and stepping back a bit*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~when diasy is out of the way, Justin will nod and chop thru bird and altar both~

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~he blow is quick and powerfully, feather and altar seem to explode out like a bomb, totally destroyed~

Daisy Mae Everson: *flinches, blinks*

Finnuala Rosher: *Blinks and catches her breath momentarily*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): "..I grew tired of it. Tis not a symbol of mine faith, it is just a symbol, and I wilt not see to attone to false Gods. ~scans them all~ Daisy.. Reach into the rubble please.

Simon Everson: *arches an eyebrow, cause that's new*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): From Distruction comes true rebirth.. and life ..~softly~But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at Father Quinn and then does as he asked... she reaches into the rubble*

Jonathon Spader : *Jon stands stock still, his eyes not even blinking*

Bobby Tarquine : *Is to lathargic(?)... barely closes his eyes... dove... was that the bird moses sent out?*

Simon Everson: *cross his arms over his chest*

Daisy Mae Everson: *she brings her hand out of the rubble, in which is the dove... calm amd alive...*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~looks down at Jon's sword, totally clean and shiny. He kisses the hilt and places it over where the altar was~

Finnuala Rosher: *Finds this quite unexpected..*

Simon Everson: *blinks*

Daisy Mae Everson: *her eyes shine with a renewed light, as she looks at the dove*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): "what is destroyed can be rebuilt, what is lost can be found and what is use for sin, can be made whole thru the product of faith and the power and struggle of those that believe in HIM and HIS works. Let nothing stop thee when it comes to HIS Works, false Idols be damned. Thou know the Shining Path...

Bobby Tarquine : *Eyes just now finishing closeing*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Finnuala Rosher: *Between the Father's words, she notes Bobby's state of relaxation with approval*

Simon Everson: *glances at Daisy, then Justin*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): "..Daisy, Thou shall Build a new altar. One of HIS purpose, not to pray to. ~Smiles~ I am sure Jon will help thee with suplies..

Jonathon Spader : *Nods in agreement to both FJQ, and Daisy*

Simon Everson: *relaxes, only a touch*

Daisy Mae Everson: *as she hold the bird...she hears Father Quinn speak... she doesn'tspeak herself and she is yet to move*

Daisy Mae Everson: *nods to Father Quinn*

Finnuala Rosher: *While her usage of the Lysol to kill all the pagan sex germs may have cleansed the physical aspect of the Altar, she finds this acceptable too.*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~glances about again and get;s the cloth that LL Churchs have behind the curtians uses it to clean up the clear water on the floor~

Daisy Mae Everson: (*L* @ Finn)

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): (G@finn, expends 1 miracle)

Simon Everson: *walks up behind Daisy and kisses her neck*

Daisy Mae Everson: (ooo and daisy when present cool)

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~takes the rag to the back for clean up and wash~

Bobby Tarquine : *opens his eyes and watches... still quite...*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~brushes some feathers out of his cloak~

Finnuala Rosher: *The Faith suffuses the area as she remains in that spot, just letting the realization of what occurred sink in*

Daisy Mae Everson: *looks at Simon and smiles, her eyes a bit misty, still holding the dove*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~finally, he let's his faith flow over them~And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN. ~ Said while making the sign of the Cross by moving the right hand from the forehead to the chest, to the left shoulder, then to the right shoulder. ~

Simon Everson: *hugs her from behind* You have a little present there.

Jonathon Spader : *and to follow woth the father, crossing himself as well* Amen.

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~turns sharply and looks at Bobby, only reguardining him for a brief second~

Daisy Mae Everson: Amen...

Simon Everson: *as if a song* Aaaammmeeenn."

Finnuala Rosher: *Reflects the crossing with thoughts of her own echoing in her mind.*

Finnuala Rosher: *Quietly* Amen.

Daisy Mae Everson: *nods to Simon, still in awe of what just happened* I do...

Bobby Tarquine : *Catches Quinns look, nodding sharply.*

Alexander Tarquine: [[ ~ponders replacing his computer soon~ ]]

Finnuala Rosher: ((Welcome back Alexander))

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): My soul is the infant searching for the comfort of warm milk. My soul is the bodiless searching for temple. My soul yearns for rest from life's weary roads. I lift my soul to thee, Oh Father. Pull me close to thee, dearest Lord, and comfort this infant. Hold my hand, and let me know thou art here. In the depths of my being, I remember thy comfort, just as I remember the comfort of the womb. It was there, in darkness, that I first knew thee, for thou called my name. Here I am, Lord. Older and broken. Comfort me.

Bobby Tarquine : *His mouth barely moves... but no words come out*

Simon Everson: *softly* something for the children?

Daisy Mae Everson: Simon> *softly* i should release the dove, yes? *she is not actually keeping the bird from flying away if it wants to*

Simon Everson: *Thinks the padre is in good health *

Simon Everson: *(waves at alex) "Do what you you want Daisy..

Daisy Mae Everson: *watches the dove* It does seem to be afraid of me.

Jonathon Spader : ~quietly singing~ Here I am Lord, it is I Lord, I have heard you calling in the night. I will go Lord, where you Lead me, I will hold your people in my heart.

Daisy Mae Everson: (...does not...)

Finnuala Rosher: *Walks toward Bobby*

Simon Everson: *Still holding Daisy from behind, projecting his fait towards her* No Daisy Mae, no one is afraid of you.. You are a Dove.

Finnuala Rosher: Bobby> Are you well tonight?

Alexander Tarquine: ~watches with silent awe~

Bobby Tarquine : *Doesn't watch Finn... doesn' really watch anything*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~brushes off a spare feather and makes sure the chapel is clean. Of blood and water and the like, thinks Alexander should be doing this~

Finnuala Rosher: ((Is afraid of Daisy))

Bobby Tarquine : *nods* yea... i'm fine... you?

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~figures at alexander will be out of it for a while too~

Daisy Mae Everson: A gift for the children... *looks at Simon, he can see in her eyes her faith is stronger then ever*

Simon Everson: (finns afraid of water *L*_)-listens quietly to Jon songs-

Finnuala Rosher: Bobby> Better than most occasions, actually. It's been a restful week. We spoke recently. How do you feel about what we discussed? Is it getting better?

Bobby Tarquine : Yea it is... *licks the back of his teeth with his tounge* Good. Good. Rest is always nice...

Alexander Tarquine: [[ ~chuckles as he catches up~ ]] ~well begin to clean up the mess and make sure its spic and span~

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~after finishing , he stands and nods to Jon.Smiles at Daisy and simon, then heads to the kitchen to clean his hands~

Daisy Mae Everson: *leans into Simon, feeling more calm then she has in a while... her very soul rejoices in this... miracle*

Finnuala Rosher: ((*Thwapp Simon* That's Tyne. And Daisy is scary not because she's scary, but because she's the last bastion of normalcy we have and once she's fully transformed, we lose more contact with normal lives.. Its what she represents and the loss of that which is scary))

Simon Everson: ((*touches his nose* point why simon hates when Quinn does these.. *waves hand* things. Simon guards Daisy's normaly as were as body *Huggs Daisy*))

Finnuala Rosher: Bobby> And the rest? Is it getting more tolerable?

Bobby Tarquine : [[ i'm not normal? *tears* ]] *Smiles... a plastic smile*

Simon Everson: [were=well]

Jonathon Spader : ((What do you mean Daisy is the only "Normal" one? *S* Spader is normal.*G*))

Alexander Tarquine: ~cleans~

Daisy Mae Everson: (*huggles*... it is amazing she is still the way she is...)

Alexander Tarquine: [[ ~G~ is technicly normal... kinda ]]

Finnuala Rosher: Bobby> I thought as much. But remember what I said. In time, it does truly get better.

Jonathon Spader : *Jon moves to help remove the rubble from the old altar*

Bobby Tarquine : Of course... After time we all get used to things... start to bear them... it's partof life...

Daisy Mae Everson: (I do believe daisy is the only one with out any "special" powers)

Simon Everson: [*L* daisy's going to learn Latin..(THAT's as fast as simon's going to go, figures that should take her a while]

Daisy Mae Everson: (besides her glacier melting kiss..*chuckle*)

Jonathon Spader : ((Daisy has plenty of "specialness" about her))

Finnuala Rosher: Bobby> We can do more than that. We can use knowledge.

Daisy Mae Everson: (she's been studying latin for the last year)

Bobby Tarquine : Yes of course... *nods*

Justin R. Quinn (Beatific): ~ooc: Evil Laugh~!!!! ~he makes sure the chapel is clean and looks over Alexander~ Thou looks like hell. Thy apparence art to be immucualte in mine presence Squire. Thou art a refelction of me and mine. A man doth not have to be clean to serve HIM ,but he doth have to have a clean constance to be able to serve.

Daisy Mae Everson: (like her parties... "Daisy Mail")

Finnuala Rosher: *Looks around for Father Quinn and guesses he must have gone to the back room*
