Fascist Confederacy

It was dark this eve. Rain drops were gently tapping on window-sills across Holgin. A man wearing a rather tight suit, resembling that of a Roman Catholic Priest's. He was Bishop William Ercke, head of the diocese in Braum Raion. He walked into the shadowy beerhall, lookign aroudn at the White men keeping to themselves for the most part. A man sat on the far end wearing roughly the same outfit waved to him. Father Ercke made his way to the man. "Ah, Father Mayer ho-" Ercke was interrupted.
"No time for formalities, Will."
The two quickly sat down at this. It was unusual for two Bishops to be meeting in a beerhall like this in the first-place, but considering the times, not exactly too uncommon. "Kurt, what is wrong?"
"Il Militis Christi..."
"What?"
"The Knights of Christ..."
"Oh Kurt, getting worked up about that again? Bah, you need a dri-"
Father Mayer stood abruptly, his legs hitting the table as he firmly grasped Father Ercke's collar,"Will, listen to me. These things are true." He noticed his was drawing attention, and released the Bishop. The two sat down again. "Will, I know you didn't believe me six months ago, but I know it's true now. Three nights ago, I was in the presence of the Archbishop of Der Vaterland--Father Schmitt--and as I was sitting their, waiting for him to come into his office. I heard a sudden stirring outside his office and I pushed open his door just a crack. I saw roughly five men in black, cloak like, attire. In the middle of the small group was a man, by his dress he looked like a priest. He was shouting something in Russian, something like 'You Fascist pigs! You'll die like Dhukrotov!'. It struck me, that yes, he was speaking Russian and Russian is a common language in The Confederacy. But his dialect sounden like he came from the plain near the Volga."
"But Kurt, Dhukrotov isn't Fascist... Well, wasn't."
"I know... He wasn't then. But that was three days ago, roughly. I also heard the cloaked men uttering, 'Il Militis Christi L'ha giudicata inadatto per l'esistenza.. Lei sarà il lancio nel Lago di Fuoco dal Nostro Dio di Signore per la sua bestemmia.' (The Knights of Christ have deemed you unfit for existence... You shall be cast into the Lake of Fire by Our Lord God for your blasphemy.). Anyway, the day after that incident, I heard Hecktor Krimisky, a well reknowned Socialist Priest in Soviet Bloc has died under 'mysterious circumstances'. It was deemed a suicide, but we all know, Catholics just don't commit suicide. But, he was found beaten, slashed, and thrown off the roof of a siz story building... And then, two days later, the Soviet Bloc turns Fascist with help from the Czar, May Our Lord God Bless Him."
"Hmm.. You have a point... So, you're saying the Czar, May Our Lord God Bless Him, is evil? Cau-"
"No! I never said that. I love the Czar--May Our Lord God Bless Him--and I would never dissendt against him. Im just saying, I think the rumors are right, and it scares me, to a degree, that The Patriarch has so much control over politics. I know he helped the Czar--May Our Lord God Bless Him--into power; but exactly how much power does The Patriarch have?"
"Well you know, The Patriarch does have some influence on politics and the laws, of course so does Father Redfairm and Father Townley. And, everyone within The Church knows that Father Redfairm has The Phineas Priesthood, and Father Townley has the WKC."
"Yes, yes, I know. But still, imagine it, a world-wide secret society of men capable of killing heretics and people denouncing The State and its Christian ideals. And, what if they ever suspected us of dissention? Like I said, I would never think of doing it, and I'm sure you wouldn't either, but still."
"No, I would never go against the Czar--May Our Lord God Bless Him. It would be betraying God, Country, and the fellow White man. But, anyway, Father Mayer, I really must be going. I told Mary I'd be home an hour ago. She's going to have my head."
"Oh--I'm so sorry, go go. Wouldn't want the Mrs' never cooking her wonderful lemon cream poundcake for me, now would I."
"Haha. No, that would be a tragedy!"
The two men stepped out of the beerhall,"Father Mayer, can I atleast pay for your fair back to Jessup Raion?"
"No, I'll be alright. But thank you none-the-less."
At that, Mayer got into a black cab, aswell did Ercke. Ercke's left first. Mayers pulled to the stoplight. He instructed the driver to take him to the ferry rather than the bridge. He decided he'd admire the wonderful sights for awhile. He'd told his wife he'd gone to meet a friend and wouldn't be back until eleven, it was only nine-thirty, so he decided to take his time.
OOC: Okay, basicly this is an intructory thread to Il Militis Christi. It's secret and semi-closed. If you want in on it, IM me on MSN, TG me, or post here telling me what your overall plan is and I'll see if I can find a spot for you. This will be character roleplay.
