*Virginia sits quietly on one side of the booth, a black mesh screen separating her from the side where the confessor would sit. A wooden crucifix hung above her head.*

Hi, um, I've never done this sort of thing before, but, uh, I know I've sinned alot so... *Thinks: God, why am I doing this?*

"Start at the beginning, or wherever you're comfortable, dear..." Should I have called her "my child"? She's not my child. And I'm not a priest. God, help me through this.

Um, well, okay. *Takes a deep breath* Well, I helped a scientist bring a dead body back to life- I don't know if that was a sin or not. And I let said scientist do things to me, but I didn't really have much choice, since I was his slave, and he'd beat me otherwise. And, once again I'm not sure if it's a sin, but I slept with a girl. And- *Breaks off* I'm sorry, this last part's hard to say. How am I doing so far?

*Virginia is staring blankly at the girl through the mesh screen. Far away, she hear's a high-pitched whine coming steadily closer. She realizes it's screaming. And it's coming from her.* Oh God! *She cuts herself off self-consciously with a gurgling choke and clears her throat.* "Uhhhhhh..." What do you say to that? "Keep going, my dear..."

*Uh-oh. I'm scaring her. Does she really need to hear this next part? I knew this was a mistake.*
Well, I *fighting back tears*, this is really hard for me to say. B-but my brother and I, we were slaves and only had each other to trust in. So we were always really close. And then-
*Takes a deep breath*
Well, one night, he was drunk. I could tell just by looking at him. And-and he had this funny look in his eyes, you know? And I told him to go to bed, go sleep it off. And then-
*Breaks down sobbing*

*Virginia, unable to bear hearing someone so distraught, rushes out of the cubicle into the other half and lays a hand on the sobbing girl's shoulder.* "There there," *she said gently.* "God forgives all sins."

*Magenta tiptoes into the chapel. Dracula would kill her if he ever found out about this, but...she just had to tell someone.*

"What sin, my child?"

"The sin of lust, father. Although I have not acted upon it."

"Tell me of your sin, my child," *he said, gripping the seat of the booth with both hands to keep them from resting in his lap.*

*Claudine's snowy face blushed*
"A friend and I went swimming in the river, and soon a young boy came to join us. Nothing happened, but I gazed upon him with desire. Was that wrong of me?"

"Yes. Five hail Marys, Five Our Fathers," *he said, making the sign of the cross and slamming the door across the screen shut.*
