#Reverend Mike

[bishop-percival]

Reverend Miriam and her brother Reverend Mike were traveling for a Glornist mission. Mike had been concerned about his sister lately. Leaving the Glornch, let alone leaving the Skullship, had become an increasingly rare occurrence for her. So not wanting her to settle into a hermit lifestyle, Mike brought the matter up with Bishop Percival under the guise that Reverend Miriam was slacking in her duties as priestess to spread the will of Glorn. And much to her dismay, Bishop Pervical agreed and ordered her to serve a mission.

But these two bozos weren’t going to force her out of the Glornch without a deal. Her conditions were that she got to choose which planet to go to, it would be no longer than a couple of days, and she could bring someone with her. Naturally, that someone was the bastard who dared whine about her inactivity; her brother. Mike was reluctant to go mainly because he felt very uneasy about leaving the Glornch in the hands of that violently impulsive, devil-may-care bishop with no priests to keep him in check. He prayed to Glorn the deacons would keep things running smoothly, though he had a feeling that prayer would go unanswered. 

The planet of choice was also an easy decision. For over a year now, every time Miriam tossed a live creature into her potion brews, the mortified face of a certain spiderling always resurfaced to haunt her memory. Indeed, Shamura, the sweet young student they had aboard a while ago, was always in the back of Miriam’s mind, along with their impassioned talks of their home planet and monastery. So why not pay them a visit? Besides, Mike had already been there briefly before to pick them up, so that was a bonus. He liked the idea of visiting as well. The two agreed to maybe lay off the “sow chaos and destruction and pillage holy sites” aspects of Glornist missions a little bit.

And so, there the priests were, speeding toward Locdeom. Once closer to the surface, Mike navigated toward the monastery where he’d picked Shamura up from previously, since that was the only location he was familiar with. However, as they approached the site, they saw that it was wildly different than what he’d seen over a year earlier. The monastery had been reduced to crumbling, ancient-looking ruins, was fenced off, and guarded by armed hooded figures.

Miriam eyed the site apprehensively. “... Are you lost or something? This isn’t the place, is it?”

Mike was in disbelief, cautiously flying the saucer closer. “I-it has to be, but…” He shook his head. “I think we should investigate, but first we should come up with a plan to deal with those guards. Let’s fall back, hide, then lure one of them to us to steal—...”

Miriam wasn’t paying much attention. She saw that the guards had already spotted the foreign object in the sky hovering above them so they were probably on high alert. She didn’t want to wait to enact some convoluted plan. She had a more direct approach in mind. 

Much to Mike’s bewilderment, Miriam pushed the button to open the saucer’s dome, leaned out a little bit and shouted, “HEY! Do you guys know where a little kid named Shamura might be? Spiderling, purple?” She didn’t entirely expect the guards to understand her, but was curious to see their reaction nonetheless.

“W-what are you doing!?” Mike said as he fruitlessly tried to yank Miriam back in. He seemed to have forgotten that despite her reclusive tendencies, his sister was not at all shy.

Teddy received a text from Reverend Mike a few minutes after seven.

[text] Hey. Heads up that Miriam and Percival summoned a ghost last night and that he’s here to stay. His name is Cas and he used to be a deacon. I’m leaving for my mission right now but I’ll get you an anti-possession talisman when I get back. So until then try to get along with him. He can be a pretty decent guy, shouldn’t be too hard. 

[text] If you feel the need to leave tailoring duties early, please do so if it means avoiding Sam.

[text] 👍

[text] Is there anything else I should do?

The Glornch’s congregation had swelled after Bishop Percival beat Commander Peepers. Yet the vast majority of them were only curious onlookers. As the year went by interest dwindled until only a small fraction of watchdogs remained, who were genuinely interested in the Glornch. (Although with how small it was it still experienced significant growth.)

Professor Trismegistus was the first new member. They rushed over immediately after the fight, only to be turned away and given visiting hours. But they were back on Monday!. …Only to fruitlessly camp out at the entrance until visiting hours ended. Then they fruitlessly spent a few more hours trying to break in before deciding to come back on Tuesday.

Why were they so desperate? It was because they were fully prepared to spend the rest of their life chasing after the faint remains of the supernatural, all in hopes of gaining magical power. But who would do all that when they could get close to a wizard and learn his secrets? Or a witch? Or a scholar? Or another scientist who proved that even an otherwise powerless watchdog could summon demons with the right knowledge?

Professor Trismegistus quickly became a dedicated member of the Glornch despite their questionable faith in Glorn. Once they were initiated— and given access to the library— they passionately threw themselves into studying magic. And when they weren’t doing that they were rushing towards any supernatural occurrences they could find.

That is why they had to speak to Mike before he left: Because he was both the most knowledgable about the Glornch’s going ons and the most powerful member who was unlikely to brush them off. Fortunately, they happened to spot him right as he was pulling suitcases out of his room.

“Ah! Reverend Mike! It's so good to see you!” Professor Trismegistus yelled and waved as they trotted up to him. “Would you like help with your luggage?”

They made no attempt to conceal their ulterior motives. Yet they had a hunch that he won’t mind.

(prev) [text] Mike, don’t you remember what I did to the Blade of Dragon’s Breath? Who said I won’t? [text] I’ll send you my findings later Bert. [text] Hide the metal from me lol [text] How has your research gone?

[Bert] Ah… I haven’t found much that would be useful to us yet.

[Bert] A lot of it is just… Failed experiments.

[Bert] I wish I could say I’ve done more to help our cause, but… I’ve been quite busy. And reading through this isn’t the most fun.

[Mike] I can help read through some stuff.

[Bert] No.

[text] How do you destroy a soul?

[text] Become a necromancer. Or a demon. Otherwise, there are a couple rituals out there. Most of them are pretty advanced and risky, though.

(Previous) [text] …If you don’t think he’ll be a liability, sure. [text] In other totally unrelated news, I will be sending Amy off on her month-long study abroad as part of her ordination soon.

[text] Ideally he’d stay at a distance while I keep their attention on me.

[text] Would you like to help?

[text] I’m sure Amy’s excited.

(Previous) Mike was glad yet unsurprised that Tris was keen enough to pick up on what he was hinting at. He gave a low effort wave and a “see ya” as the doors closed. He continued his way up and to the Glornch’s main entrance to say his farewells to his sister and Bishop Percival, who were waiting for him there. While in the elevator, Mike made it a point to text Teddy to warn him that the Glornch had a ghost and that when he got back he’d give him an anti-possession talisman. Mike was glad to have Cas back, but… not so much as a ghost. Ghosts presented some unique security risks. And the fact that Miriam and Percival were able to do such a thing was a little worrying for a number of reasons. But Mike shook his head, not wanting these worries to weigh on his mind right now. He wanted to focus on his mission. The hallway that Professor Trismegistus was in was quiet, but it wasn’t empty. Indeed, the ghost deacon Cas was lurking about, following and examining this stranger as they searched for him. He was excited to introduce himself to them, but of course being the trickster he was, he wasn’t just going to reveal himself and say hi. He had to do something silly. He would’ve liked to possess one of the deacons who were sleeping in, but unfortunately it seemed that someone maintained a pretty good salt barrier around the quarters to keep miscellaneous spirits out, which also barred Cas. Next, he wondered if he could possess this new person. But they seemed healthy and alert enough, so probably not. Then, Cas thought of an interesting idea: what would happen if he possessed their glass? And so he attempted it, successfully. Tris’ glass suddenly felt cold to the touch. Unfortunately, all Cas could really do as this particular object was jiggle, so he jiggled with all his might.

At first Professor Trismegistus assumed that their glass was slipping off and reached to correct them. But then they dodged their hands in an improbable jerky motion.

“Cheers!” They yelled while pumping their fists in the air. “The ghost is real!”

They laughed in delight as the spirit wiggled their glass. Yet it didn’t take long until their boundless enthusiasm started to run dry. Their giggling was replaced by an exponentially growing set of frustrated groans and curses.

Finally, Professor Trismegistus clenched their fists and yelled, with a stomp for emphasis, “ENOUGH!” They wrestled for control of their glass while squeezing their eye shut in exertion.

“Is that the best you can do!? Look at these sprinklers!” Tris made a sweeping gesture towards the ceiling. Then they flung their hands towards the walls. “Look at these candles! Look at these creepy paintings!”

Then they pulled their sleeve back. “And what’s the use of wearing an analog watch when it doesn’t go wild in the midst of supernatural phenomenon!? There’s all these options and you just-! You just make it so my eye can’t focus on anything cool!”

Once Professor Trismegistus got it all out they let out a deep, long-suffering sigh and grabbed their glass in a vice grip. “Such a boring ghost...”
