Ah!

[ her little exclamation of surprise has all the delight of a child discovering something new. vanozza looks off-camera for a moment to someone who remains unseen as if to say, "Look! I did it!" her broad smile settles into something more controlled when she returns to the tablet.

vanozza has her dark hair plaited back. she wears her red silks again, dry now, for she knew she was to address the network. a rosary lies around her neck, the cross tucked into the bosom of her gown. ]

What a curious toy! It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Vanozza. [ her family name she withholds. she knows not who may be listening. ]

As I am sure we are all occupied, I will make this brief: I require a seamstress from whom to commission several gowns. I have one with me that may serve as a template.

A maid, too, to assist me with daily chores. Nothing difficult, I assure you. Matter of payment can be arranged after meeting.

[ her son will be vetting applicants fyi. ]

Lastly, directions to a church. A chapel will be as welcome. [ she only seeks the peace of one. her son is a cardinal; her sins are forgiven. ]

So many youths gathered here. [ she had again looked off-camera, her smile fond, before speaking. as she returns her attention to the tablet, the smile adopts a wry turn. ] Perhaps I should be honored to be an exception.

A toy you might not want to break anytime soon.

[ First someone named Nessuno comes around and now Vanozza. Foreign names, he'll never get them. But they have to be related in some way? ]

Resources around here are hard to come by, you'll find a few churches around, though.

So I have seen. [ helena was awesome enough to give her a map. a map she has not looked at because lol technology how do work. ]

Have you a favorite to visit?

[ ~~nice to see another old person around. he's not alone!~~ ]

No ma'am. Never took myself for much of a religious man.

[ there is no god in his mind, not with all the bullshit that's happened in his life and the lives of others. ]

[ they can start up their own club. no one under age forty allowed on their lawn. ]

The word of God did not move you or did you lose your faith along the way?
