    “No, I’m scared, I’m seriously scared....I can’t come back down and you can’t make me. Honestly? Maybe I’ll just live here for the rest of my life, please. I cannot come down!” Her eyes were shut as she positioned her head up towards the ceiling hopelessly begging the higher power to help her out of this one. How did Grace even get into a situation like this? It was easy and simple---Adele had invited Grace over to her studio as they were going to learn a few moves. The first half was easy, a simple turn, moving to the beat and so on forth, until the pole came into the mixture. It started off easy until Grace got carried away climbing it as if she was a professional, leaving her in the position she was in now. Stuck at the top of the pole -- scared to come down. 

    Grace adored Adele, she always had a way of bringing out a different side to her. Sometimes she felt like a rebel when the two would hang out with one another. Grace’s way of being a rebel often involved her not shelving and instead sneaking to the bathroom to read for thirty minutes. It was different with Adele, she brought out the confident side of her. The side that she herself did not know she had till Adele came into her life. She wasn’t complaining she felt comfortable around her even if sometimes she landed herself in situations like this. 

    Peeking down at Adele with one eye, she quickly shut it shaking her head. “Nope, it’s official I’m living my life up here from now on. If anyone needs me, just let them know I’m here minding my own business, but I don’t have to worry about that because no one will need me. This is perfect. Honestly!” She gulped loudly. Dramatic much? She often got pretty dramatic in situations like these but she couldn’t help it, she got that side from her mother and she hated it.

Jerome was new to Royal so he was making a point of finding his way around the town. There was so much to see. He found himself in the local park. He had been strolling around for a little while when he decided to take a break. Sitting down, he grabbed his bottle of water and sipped it as he watched people walk past. He leaned back and took in the view.

Benvenuti a Firenze || Maria & Adele

Where: Florence, Italy When: October 15, 2017 Closed: @davisadele

Maria stepped out of the airport, shielding her eyes from the bright Tuscan sun and surveyed the bustling city in front of her. Somewhere here in this city lay a grail, the Trepanum Blade, if she wasn’t mistaken. God, she hoped she wasn’t mistaken. It all made sense, but it wouldn’t be the first time things had made sense to her and had still been wrong. She’d spent the first several hours of the fourteen hour trip from Los Angeles going over her notes again. (The latter part of the trip was spent, blessedly, getting some much needed sleep) Renee and Leviathan were headed to China, might be there already if they used less human methods of travel, but Maria hadn’t wanted an angelic escort to take them. It felt too conspicuous. 

She glanced over her shoulder at Adele and offered what she hoped was a reassuring smile. “So...welcome to Florence. Or, should I say benvenuti a Firenze... I figure the city has changed a bit since Donato and his family lived here, but hopefully that won’t matter too much. Uh, I didn’t rent us a car...I figure a taxi can get us close? But we’re probably going to be doing a lot of walking. Or maybe we can get one of those scooters,” she trailed off and shrugged. 

“Sorry. I’m a little anxious and rambly. Uh, I sort of don’t know where to start looking... I was hoping you’d have an idea? But if not, our best bet is maybe a library or historical archive? See if there are records of him and his family and where they lived?”

new kid on the block~ adele & zack

When: April 2017 Where: Church of Saints Status: closed >> @davisadele

It had only been a few weeks since Zack’s life took a detour. For the most part, he’d settled into running Smooth Moves. He was still on the fence as to whether it would be better for him to hire a manager to run the day-to-day stuff so he could focus solely on the business side of things. But he figured he’d give it a few more weeks before he made a decision.

And he’d grown used to living in his benefactor’s apartment but he still felt like a tourist just visiting. The place was still full of Jairus’ things, not that Zack minded. Truth be told, it made him feel a step closer to the man he never got to meet. The only downside was that he hadn’t been able to bring himself to look through all of Jairus’s things without feeling like an intruder.

Slipping into his new role as a member of the Board had been the easiest adjustment to make. He embraced the much-needed familiarity each and every time he stepped into the Church of Saints. The walls were different as were the faces within them, but the warmth he felt standing inside was the same as it ever was. The Church of Saints had been in Zack’s life as far back as he could remember. Sunday school. Christmas plays. Youth group retreats. You name it, he did it. But it wasn’t until he got older that he got anything real from it – a sense of purpose. The older he got, the more he realized that he was part of something much bigger than himself, that everyone was. Everyone had a part to play and his was helping people.

Wearing the mantle of Chastity brought on a cocktail of emotion he had yet to fully come to terms with: honor, pride, joy, anxiety, hope, determination, confusion. It was a heady mix but it was easily drowned out by an overwhelming need to contribute to the congregation. Ideas of how to do just that were already brimming in his mind. Back in Kansas, he’d been heavily involved in youth outreach and had even started a basketball league for the kids in the neighborhood.

Zack headed toward Zoe’s office to see if something like that was already established here and if not, if she would be opposed to him introducing it.  He still wasn’t sure what his role on the Board was exactly or the extent of Zoe’s expectations for him. She’d explained it to him but theory and practice were two different beasts.

Skirting the edge of the hall, he made room for a group of kids exiting a nearby room. He listened to their excited chatter and returned the smiles that some of them flashed at him. After it seemed like the last kid had trickled out, Zack approached the room and tentatively poked his head in, curious as to what the kids had just been doing. Recognition sparked at the sight of the lone person who remained. Adele.

“Looks like I missed the party,” he mused as he leaned his shoulder up against the door frame.
