"Rome would never harm Luke Wadding. I've been there, and have studied with some of the fathers who are now teaching at the college at St. Isadore's. So let me tell you how the Romans feel toward Father Luke Wadding. When they see him, they don't hail him by any of his titles; to them he's not 'Guardian of the College' or 'Procurator' or 'Reverend Father'. He's just Padre Luca.

St. Angie running for political office would cause the death of democracy, because every single candidate would drop out and when we’d go to vote, the only category on the ballot would be for Dictator of YOUR LIFE and the only voting option would be Dame St. Angie Jolie. You’d have to vote in blood, of course...Hillary Clinton just shredded the presidential acceptance speech she’s had on file for years and is going to make her way to Scrunchies ‘R Us to ask for an application. Chris Christie just resigned and got a job working in a bridge toll booth.

And everyone’s moving out of the White House to make way for President Dame St. Angie Jolie and her family. But Joe Biden can stay, because First Husband Brad Pitt needs a tokin’ partner."

Back when she was a princess before the war, Arika-sama used to associate with the common people without any regard for her position. And everyone loved her for it. I was lucky enough to see her up close myself, just the once. I remember wondering if this is what angels are like.
