No servers appeared for the afternoon Proclamation of the Cross and Mass of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts, so I soloed it. Minor complications, but I made it through alive, easily enough since the first final boss isn’t till tomorrow.
I did not, however attempt a speed run; reverence is paramount.
(We did have our choir and readers, so I wasn’t entirely left to my own devices. But some awkwardness did ensue; for instance, in carrying the cross, I had to carry also the base into which it would be placed, so I was one-handing the cross (my right arm got pretty sore), or I suppose you could say I was double-wielding a cross and a base (both bludgeoning weapons), or wielding the cross while holding the base up as a shield.
