What do Sororitas do in their spare time? Do they have a social life per se, or do they just stay in their convents? We do know that they're not required to swear an Oath of Celibacy, so... My apologies if I offend anyone, but I can't find any fluff about this.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Well according to the book I've read they usually spend their time praying or doing rites. They do have free time between training and rites where they socialize with fellow Sisters of their order.
They sometimes get dispatched to other orders for training purposes. They have free time on ships and seem to spend that reading or hating witches.
At least in one case a few sisters have been released, temporarily, from their duties to do something else. Visit other places.
I'm not sure they have much time for stuff, they're nuns, teachers and soldiers. Not like they get vacation time. That's Guard talk!

And cosplay? You mean people cosplaying as Sororitas? Or Sororitas cosplaying? In the case of the latter, Im disturbed as to how you came by such a thing...

Well, that thing you're thinking, and you're hinting at waiting for someone to say it. It's not that.
They probably clean their armour, strip their weapons, practice sword fighting, pray, be holy, Skype with their friends in other convents, burn witches, purge heretics and such like. You know, just the usual really.

I doubt there is many high positioned beings in the IOM that get time to relax. Anyway, idleness is the road to heresy and all. All in all, Sorritas are moralists. Moralists hate boredom as it leads to the immoral, such as mental over stimulation as compensation. Puritans never have parties for a reason.
Anyway. I don't understand people thinking that the SOB have sex appeal. Mainly for many of the reasons I have put above.

They are praying, training and preparing their weapons in their free time.
Socializing with others Sisters is of course normal thing to do in meantime.
Now I have a question: Is there any record about Sister wanting to live the Sororitas and live like a normal Human? Is that thing even possible. Automatically Appended Next Post: chyron wrote:As far as Cain's memoirs(Cain's Last Stand) can be accounted as reliable.

BL: No. Why they should be?
IMO as BL do not contradict 'Dex, question is answered.
PS No matter how i dislike Draigo and other mattwardisms , they're in 'dex, so they're canon.
PS 2 I won't be shocked if someday we'll find that AS took some pages from Bene Gesserit and Lahmian bloodline books...they're not limited to Sisters of Battle roles, you know.
