I was asked once some time ago to get out the cloth for the altar, but that was stored outside with the other pew blankets... I wonder where they keep their crosses and chalices when they're not in use?
[you really just started chaotically dropping tags right before trial ended]
Ah... [Well, he'll pop back up to his feet, too! Though he doesn't stretch, he looks around the place again.]
It's comforting in its familiarity - I suppose that's the most succinct way of framing it. You don't seem the type to overly-enjoy a stay in a church, but do you have any place that you like to spend your time?

[As if to illustrate, he'll raise a hand and touch the altar to show that his hand just goes right through it. CLOUD ROOM...
Since Claude's looking around, though, he might notice there appears to be the outline of a door on the floor below the altar.]
But yes, it is. This is the church that I frequented when I was alive.
no subject
[ Not surprising. He looks down at the door but doesn't say anything yet. ]
What did you do there?
no subject
[Glancing up toward the high ceiling with fondness!]
It's even lovelier in the daytime, or when the sun is setting. That light coming through the stained glass is beautiful.
no subject
So you weren't employed by the church?
no subject
Goodness, no. I was a teacher - not of scripture, but of your typical scholastic subjects. Math, reading, writing, so on.
no subject
[ Starting to wander over to the door on the floor, peering curiously at it to see if it looks like a trap door. ]
Honestly, you kind of struck me as a maiden that spends all your time in a castle.
no subject
Oh, my. I give off an impression like that? I can't say I've ever even set foot within the castle before, let alone spent most of my time within it.
no subject
That's a good thing, isn't it? All the regality without any of pompousness.
no subject
[His hand just passes through, tragically, but it draws Lucas's attention back over!]
What are you doing down there, dear?
no subject
Oh, just something caught my attention. You know what this is?
no subject
No, I don't... I've never been behind the altar before.
[Reaching out to touch it but his hand passes through, of course.]
Perhaps this is the cellar where the wine is stored?
no subject
[ Glancing at Lucas. Just looks at him. ]
no subject
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not really certain where much of anything is stored here...
no subject
[ Tilting his head. ]

no subject
Well, this place recreates something from memory. It wouldn't be here if you didn't see it.
Maybe you just forgot.
no subject
Is that so? I haven't looked at the church from behind the altar, though... Perhaps my mind just filled in anything that I wasn't already aware of?
no subject
[ Stands back up and stretches out. ]
Why don't you tell me about what you like about this space?
no subject
Ah... [Well, he'll pop back up to his feet, too! Though he doesn't stretch, he looks around the place again.]

no subject
Anyway, he thinks a moment. ]
My bed?
no subject
He laughs though, my god.]
A refreshingly honest answer!
no subject
He smiles at that. ]
Well, there's no need to try and impress anyone.
no subject
True enough, and honesty is a virtue over many others.
