Fortitudo Dei

Alcohol is vile.

It impairs a person's judgment of right and wrong. A pious, devoted husband is transformed into an adulterous and lazy slob under its influence. Young, virtuous ladies can also be ruined under the spell of the demon in the bottle. Any person of good and just morals would think twice before partaking. The Prohibition has been so beneficial to those with a weaker sense of morals.

I wonder what manner of person would revel in the illegal consumption of alcohol, especially when their soul is at stake.

Ah, I think I see a pattern now.

The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first. Well. That was meant to happen but obviously not in the same way.

What will you do, little lambs? Chase the lion or lay at his side?

Hm. The garden of the chapel is blooming nicely. Carnation, clover, columbine, hyacinth, iris, jasmine, lily, pansy, rose, violet...I can't help but think that I've missed one.

[ooc; Note, mah peeps at last have a con crit page of their very own. OMG visit if you like. Handle with care. ♥]

Ah, are we all ourselves once more?

Some of you had made such a terrific improvement. While others had gone to the extreme. That was an interesting romp into the possibility of extremes. What now? A sigh of relief? Perhaps a sense of longing for what could have been.

A complete transformation is always possibility, for better or for worst. Take care for the decisions you make can lead to an entirely unexpected path.

Come out, I know you are there! Show yourself.

I want to see the face of the audacious person who spills blood on holy ground. Oh you may hide, yes hide all that you like. You, the lowest of low, can slink away to whatever corner or crevice this City has to offer but you cannot evade the eyes of God.

Lilith... Of all, why you...

Is this the price to be paid for claiming mastery over that which God has made?

Only He can save you from eternal death. Consider this a baptism. You shall live through this horror and lead a life of faith and strength because of Him.

Peculiar day, City. Of course it doesn't escape me that today is April Fool's Day. It isn't beyond you to celebrate it as a holiday. And what a disorganized, un-uniformed fashion.

Several of you are unchanged while others are carrying on in the most ridiculous of fashion. Even for a curse the results vary greatly.

The deities want to make a point that we are times prisoners, our John Constantine for example is literally captive. How do you fair, John?

And you, Tony?

Private to Lilith;

I haven't seen much of the man with his blasphemous new church. I trust you are well in all respects.

Gender, does it truly matter, City? Yes, do change form.

It may do a few of you some aesthetic benefit, however the health and quality of your soul remains.

Sexual impulses...I suppose that is another topic entirely, isn't it?

Has a portion of Los Angeles been poured into this wretched place? I would say so by the looks of it. You are welcomed to come to the chapel, I dearly hope you are prudent enough to respect the rules therein else we will have a problem.

A John Constantine has come about in exchange for another magician. What will the City lose of so many are welcomed I wonder.

God already knows all secrets.
