Some questioning of the Pope in the Popemobile indicated that the future king
was expected at the beach house barbecue.
Some Protestants marking 'their' territory on lamp posts were arrested and
taken to the Church of Seamentology (for auditing purposes only).
Two men arrested earlier at the local conveniences were already at the Church.
They gave their names as Georgeous Michael and Fred.E 'madame' Curie.
They explained that the long time spent inside, was due to the building
spinning about it's axis pinning them to the wall. A likely story.

They were only inducting him into the witness protection program, but due to
a lack in funding there are no safe houses, a few crypts at the local
cemetry are available though.

They were devoured by a number of sharks, unfortunately Greg the white pointer
choked on some offcuts as he arrived second to the feast.

After her 'interrogation' by the local gendarmes, she felt her chance of
potential sainthood falling by the wayside. The pyre was already lit, king
junior if found by the Republicans might end up on it. Those royals were
always trying to grab the headlines. Joan thought of crashing the hay cart
in the sub-harbour tunnel, but that was centuries away from being built,
and local playboy Dodo L.Fathead was otherwise engaged at the Church of
Seamentology. So Joan made a beeline for the flames. The pyre was on the
Popemobiles most likely route to the party as well.

Destiny ! The Pope gives an off-the-cuff sainthood to the still crackling
embers of Joan, while moving at a cracking pace.
