Midnight Mass in NYC

What: Midnight Mass
When: Midnight, well, slightly after, 12/25
Where: St. Patrick's Cathedral, NYC
Rating: TBD, but this IS a church
Lorna still was adjusting to being out of the box they had kept her in. She was thankful that she hadn't missed either of the two major High Holy Days, though All Souls and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception were out of her hands. They hadn't been all that concerned about pandering to her religious wants and more concerned with running their endless tests.
She was nervous out on her own, even - perhaps especially - with all those people around her. The church was done up beautifully, the smell of the flowers almost covering up the smell of sweat of all those people in one place. Lorna looked around, she wasn't comfortable on her own normally, and it was doubly the case when she was half expecting someone from the facility to jump out and grab her from behind, even here at mass.
It showed in how she glanced over her shoulder, or jumped at the occasional cough behind her. Even though it was tasteless, especially today, Lorna was seriously considering ducking out after communion. Maybe it was just rattled nerves from everything, but she felt like just turning around and running off.
Merry Christmas indeed. At least she was out of the box. And if push came to shove and someone tried something, there was a lot of metal in New York City. But she didn't want that. She just wanted, tonight, to go to mass. And more than anything, she wished she was home with her parents.
