O My God: Henceforth I Resolve to Strive Earnestly to be Patient and Gentle
WHO: Father Francis Mulcahy
WHERE: House 24/the Church; the Inn
WHEN: March 5-6
OPEN TO: Everyone
WARNINGS: None, though that may change
( House 24, March 5 )
It's something he's been meaning to do for awhile, and now that the weather's starting to turn (it's undoubtedly the tail-end of winter, rough and raw in its own way, but the ice is slowly melting and the breeze seems a little less cutting), he's finally getting around to it. A scrap of wood board salvaged from the storehouse, likely from one of the destroyed buildings he's noticed in the village - a lump of wood charcoal from the fire - a little time - and there's a sign leaning against the balustrade of the porch on the makeshift church where Mulcahy has made his residence.
If you need to talk about anything, please come in. The door's always open, day or night. Absolute discretion, no judgement.
The words are then repeated in Latin, then slightly broken Korean, and then very broken French even though he's not yet heard it spoken in the village. It's not a large sign, but it will do, although he's probably going to have to redo it if there's a heavy, blowing rain as it might get washed clean. He's also got a much smaller one (Open door and willing ear at the church) to prop up on the mantle in the Inn. But in his opinion, it's high time he's started contributing more in a way that will hopefully make a real difference, and if people don't know he's always available when needed, they won't come. Even if it's only one or two, it will be worth it.
( The Inn, March 6 )
The next day, Mulcahy comes to the Inn to perform his usual round of chores and helping with any meal preparation along with any other little odd jobs that need doing, but this day he's also got a few other goals in mind. When they're both not busy enough to be able to talk for a bit, even if they continue working, he's specifically looking for Kate Kelly to ask her a few questions. And once lunch rolls around and people start trickling in from wherever they were working (or weren't, whatever the case may be), Mulcahy's going to find people who aren't too preoccupied with other things and walk over to their table, pulling out a chair nearby and sitting down with a polite smile.
"Hello - I was wondering if I could ask you a question?"

House
He leans forwards and studies the priest. He had worried about him last time, he had seemed so uncomfortable.
Inn
"Yeah, sure. What's your question?"
House 24
Still, the sign on his house does catch his attention. Partly because he hadn't been aware that there'd been anyone else in the village who's familiar with French, but more immediately because he can't help but wince a little internally at just how broken it is.
On the other hand, if Mulcahy wanted to catch people's attention, he's certainly done so, and so it is that a brief moment later, Jean-Luc is knocking politely on the door of the house.
