I'm not giving up on this faith; you aren't giving up on me

Characters: Amberley and YOU
Setting: Floor 13
Format: Action
Summary: More coping with the recent event. Amberley's turned to prayer to solve her problems.
Warnings: Amberley's fairly volatile, and she's armed. She might be a holy woman, but she doesn't think much of shooting someone in a church.

Also, the typical warnings for aliens and magic users times 10. There's a serious possibility of death for these particular characters in this particular post, so honestly, if you want to tag in and you don't want your character to die, please let me know.

[ After the event, Amberley won't be found in her room, in the cafeteria, library, or any of her other usual floors. No, for a good while, she'll only be found in the Church located on floor thirteen. She's in the back row, sitting in the far left corner. From far away it will only look like she's reflecting on everything that's happened, but close up, you'll be able to tell that she's praying. Her lips barely move, as she's whispers to herself, her hands patiently folded in her lap.

Honestly, she doesn't look as distraught as some of the other victims of droning. Her hair is in place, and she's wearing a white long dress. The only noticeable change is that she's currently armed. For those of you have met her, she may have lied to you about knowing how to fire a weapon to begin with, so seeing her with one that's clearly her own will be alarming. For those of you who share the same world as her, you'll be wondering why, as an Inquisitor, she's displaying a symbol of her status openly.

But Amberley is beyond caring. In her mind, no one deserves to suffer like this. Even heretics were better of dead without the suffering involved. It's insulting and still disgusts her that she was made to commit heresy. She won't feel comfortable in her own body for a long time and she might never be redeemed in her own eyes or in the Emperor's, but the worst part of it was how fragile and helpless she was made to feel. It's not a feeling that sits well with her. She's used to being in a position of power. Not only that, but the fact that Loken was the one to kill her instead of Ciaphas Cain...

... It's all left her feeling a bit unhinged. ]

"Why would I? The Imperial Truth is of a secular galaxy with no gods, only the Manifest Destiny of humanity as it spreads its arms wide over the cosmos. The Emperor rejects worship, as do his loyal sons, demi-gods in terms of power though they be."

Loken seems similarly confused.
