[Quadraginta duo]
After spending a good three hours at the Body Shop - granted, for about two hours of the three he was taking photos with enamoured women or signing something for them - but when he was finally done, he made deliveries to each of the other Sins at their usual residences, and Infidelity in NYC. They each received a hamper of shower gels, shampoos/conditioners, body lotions for the women and aftershave for the men, and various other bits and pieces.

In addition, he has penned a small instruction booklet for Wrath titled 'How to Shower'.

Envy gets a handwritten note as well. It's the first line of O Sole Mio; 'Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole.'

Hellhounds leave more than a bitter taste in the mouth.

	You are certainly not alone in such thinking. What precisely you believe they leave, however, is possibly a variant on the theme. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No, it was very civil. Nothing knocked over. I have spent some time with them in the past, though. They can be very loyal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patiens 2010-10-26 07:07 am UTC (link)
	Obviously. If they're going about sniffing at Virtues and Sins and all manner of the Christians alike. If they are going to carry out something which is in flagrant violation of our dignities, then it must require loyalty. Or brass-plated balls, one of the two. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unusual. Most of you seem to assume you can manage without us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_superbia_ 2010-10-26 07:37 am UTC (link)
	To assume to know anything about those you know nothing about - in some circumstances I believe that is a sin. Life is about balance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patiens 2010-10-26 07:39 am UTC (link)
	Are you speaking of me, or of your siblings? For I do not presume to think I know anything that I have not observed myself, Pride. I do have a habit of waiting to acquire information. Life is. But we are not alive, nor are we dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_superbia_ 2010-10-26 07:43 am UTC (link)
	I am very much alive. You need only to open your eyes to confirm it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We're a part of life, we aren't living it. For all the talk of Halloween costumes and cake baking and trappings and trails of human existence, we are not. I am Patience and I will never be anything other than who and what I am. If there is balance, I am in it, I do not possess it.

But our 'living' as you call it comes from the mortal balance, the humanity's possession of all of us in equal measure. Our influence causes our living and our living, our influence. And I will not abide one setting himself above the others without that balance.

	This is why you are a virtue and we are sins, my dear. If you have yet to figure that out, I'm afraid any further discussion would be little more than an asinine endeavour. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patiens 2010-10-26 07:56 am UTC (link)
	To figure out which? First you are a proponent of balance, and now you are not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_superbia_ 2010-10-26 08:00 am UTC (link)
	Proponent is such a strong word. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patiens 2010-10-26 08:04 am UTC (link)
	And then what would you call it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_superbia_ 2010-10-26 08:07 am UTC (link)
	It was a mere observation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patiens 2010-10-26 08:11 am UTC (link)
	That life is a balance, but that because I am a virtue, I do not like it when that balance is skewed by one who believes themselves to be above others. That we ought possess only what He has given to us (dignity here) and that we rightly possess elements of one another. That is your observation, as I can see it laid out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_superbia_ 2010-10-26 08:17 am UTC (link)
	That is your observation of my observation. Who am I, lowly, insignificant I, to confirm or deny what is laid out before your eyes? You are a living, breathing individual like everyone else. Embrace it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patiens 2010-10-26 08:20 am UTC (link)
	You are you. Pride. I believe it is of your nature -- has that changed, now? I am what He made me. But He never made me human. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
