Simeon the Stylite

Gyrovague

whatever sounds good!


Oblate

Sure why not come by! Nothing formal, you won't be interrupting, you can take your shoes off or leave them on at the door, whatever you're more comfortable with!


Eremite

Oh! Are you sure? I'm. not sure if that would be amazing. Will you be bringing society with you?


Camaldolese

You can come over but not if you want to hang out


Cenobites

Yes!! And please feel free to bring any of your worldly goods with you, if you want, that would not even be a problem for me


Dominicans

No offense but I have a lot to contemplate right now and I am not sure how your coming over is going to help with that!!


Stylite

Do NOT come over!!! At MOST you can send something up in a bucket. like a single grape or a very important question you would like me to ask God. do NOT send up too many grapes in the bucket. ONE at a time only. and if you are influenced by my good example to climb up a pillar of your own do NOT build your pillar right next to mine. move your pillar where i can't see it


Corrodian

Come by any time!!


Trappists

Please do not come over, it is so important for you not to be here actually, and tomorrow is a very busy day of not talking to you also


Carmelites

Maybe! Let's see how we feel later and check back in then?


Beguines

Absolutely I would love that!!! Come over come over come over!!


Anchorite

No!!! Unless you have some Communion with you. do you have any Communion with you? then you can come by, but just leave it by the door and don't wait around


Immured anchorite

No!!! Do not come over, someone's in here!! Someone is already in here!
