Just Deserts for he who dares

Slightly related to Chapter 9 of Lily_winterwood's excellent fic "God Grant us a Pope who Memes"- in which Trembley opens his mouth and says a few more insinuating things. I always wondered about Agnes' reaction to them. Hope you don't mind- @omgkatsudonplease

(everyone go and read her fic, link below.)

"Sister."

One of her Sisters calls from the Lobby, even the single word insistant and she knows what she will find even before she enters. There he stands, right on the threshold, at the edge of entering, his bags in both hands, sister Catherine before him. She strides across the white marble floor to her Sister's side, not moving her eyes from his face.

"Yes?"

"I have come to attend the Synod, Sister." His eyes blink behind his glasses, the picture of a sweet innocent old man, "I did request Accomodation, by email some weeks ago."

She meets his gaze evenly, never mind their difference in height, "There is no such email on our records, Father." I deleted it the moment it arrived.

He sets down one of his bags - he always did overpack - begins to rummage in his cassock pocket, bringing out his phone "I can show you the message."

"Did you receive a response from us, Father?"

"Ah no, not now I think about it." He stops rummaging, begins to open his mouth

"Then your request has not been logged." she states "As you may be aware, this is a large Synod, and all our quarters have been allocated according to need. I suggest you enquire at your Order's Clergy House, or perhaps the Canadian Embassy would be able to put you up."

"Sister..." his face is a picture- mouth a little open like a silly doll, exactly as he had looked in the Refectory that day "I was once Camerlengo here, I have travelled a very long way to attend this Synod surely something can be done..."

"We have no rooms here, Father Trembley," Oh the silent pleasure to speak that small insiginificant title "I suggest you seek other arrangements, such as those I mentioned."

With impecable timing, Sister Miryem calls from the doors to the stairs. "Sister Agnes, If i might..."

She raises a hand in both acknowledgment and delay. "Una momento, Sorella, una momento." Baely moving her head, she adresses Judith, "Sister, if you would see the Father is escorted out and pointed in the right direction."

"Yes, Sister Agnes." Judith says.

She dips her chin in the silent confirmation to her Sister, then turns on her heel and strides briskly towards the waiting Sister Miryem. Perhaps I should have let him in, wedged an old Conclave cot into a corner and fed him whatever was left from dinners. It would be more fitting than whatever good treatment he will receive at the Clergy House or the Embassy, once he starts leaning on his former rank.

That he dare wrench one of my Sisters away from her work for his schemes, that he dare impinge on the Late Holy Father in such a way, that he then opens his mouth with such whispered implications on the Good Dean and the Holy Father.

No, such a man- if indeed he dare call himself a man in any more than a physical sense- will not darken the doorstep of this Casa.

Lawrence: His Holiness agreed to the trip to the United States? I thought he would be far more resistant.

Bellini: I thought so as well. I guess he understands the diplomatic importance of the trip.

(meanwhile, in the Pope’s office)

Benitez: (putting the final touches on a very pointed homily about the Holy Family fleeing to, and taking refuge in Egypt.)

this is frying me so bad

[omgkatsudonplease]

still not over the stephen colbert thing, the way they're punishing him so much by not only essentially firing him but cancelling the show he loves in its entirety, which means also punishing all 200 people who work for and with him on the show.

it is setting an example. it's saying, "this is what happens when you speak truth to power. we will not only punish you. we'll punish the people around you that you've led and loved. is it worth it now, stephen? would it be worth it, other late night talk show hosts? if you don't keep quiet, we will quiet you". the other late night talk show hosts are not all under paramount (iirc, it's just the daily show), but this sets a precedent that tells them they are all vulnerable.

"it's not a big deal" idk man it really seems like it is

[omgkatsudonplease]

sorry if i'm gonna be quiet for a while. my country recently introduced laws that make it so that in order to use social media to the fullest (not being able to view ns/fw content and in a few cases, not even having access to dms), i HAVE to give the sites my id/face scan.

it goes into effect july 25th. it'll probably effect here too, since this place allows mature content (tho not full on ns/fw)

i'm very distressed about it bc i might end up not even being able to talk to my internet friends. i don't really have any irl ones

if i have to disappear on most socials by then, you know why.

@inneskeeper this seems relevant to your interests

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! SHE DOIBLES DOWN!

The Vanity of Regalia

Can you imagine His Holiness stunting for a new Vanity Fair cover? 😩😩😩ohhh thankfully being THIS beautiful is not a sin 🙏

[omgkatsudonplease]

Do you think he asked his beloved dean of the college of cardinals to put a ring on it during his inauguration

[omgkatsudonplease]

What are the Late Pope's machinations, but setting up Thomas Lawrence and Vincent Benitez on the most complicated blind date in history?

[omgkatsudonplease]

Whenever I think about Benitez in the book is described as small, and frail looking and probably a bit malnourished, I have to imagine that every nonna saw him up on the balcony and was filled with the intense desire to feed the pope.
