Voice - PUBLIC TO ALLL!

[buywithme]

My children, I know that we are all very excited by the coming of the Carnival to our little town, and rightly so! For god takes joy in the joy of his children, and sorrow in their loneliness, and there is much to do at such an event without wandering into the clutches of the Devil.

But, Brothers and Sisters, as you go, go with caution, and as you go, go too with your god! And be not tempted by the sin that is brought to our town by such a place, keep your spirit lifted and your soul and body pure and you will be delivered into his great kingdom yet! For the Devil dresses up! He dances and sways his hips and chatters nonsense streams to draw the coin from your purse and your feet to the path of his ways, and the reward that you will take for following his path is that of damnation eternal! So as you walk amongst those brightly lit stalls, beware, and recall the word of your Lord our God:

"You may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God."

Children, guard that inheritance, so that I might see you again some day at his throne.

[THROAT CLEAR]

I will be holding prayer three times a day from now until the carnival leaves, at nine am, one pm, and five pm. I would like to welcome any of those travellers who seek the light of our lord to attend, and I would be more than happy to guide you towards his glory.


[OOC BIT: Prefect's actually relatively new in town! He was raised by a super religious family in a SIMILAR TINY TOWN, shipped off to a seminary for a bunch of years, and finally ditched here about a year ago, after he was ordained as a priest. His full name is Ezekiel Samuel Prefect (LOL IKR?).

AFTER HE GOT HERE, it took like, TWO MONTHS for Sveta Sophie, to seduce the pants offa him, and they've been having their terrible secret affair ever since.

I'M GOING OUT FOR A BIT NOW, but I'll be back PRETTY EARLY TONIGHT, so feel free to tag or spam people coming to church/just to see him/whatever!]

Aw...we're not as bad as all that, really.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Daughter, I know that you ain't willed t'ward wickedness, but the devil tempts us all at times, especially in times such as these.

Walk with god, and all will be well.

[whattasteisthis.livejournal.com]

Amen, Father.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

And may the Lord be with you, Son.

Are you planning on visiting the carnival yourself?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Three times a day?

We are surely blessed to have you show us such...devotion.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Or more? I could... That is to say, daughter, I wish to be there for my flock whenever they need me.

Three times a day is a bare minimum of how much time I can devote to your needs.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

Now, now, preacher. I'm already a God-fearing Christian, so no need to guide me anywhere.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[BIGGEST SMILE]

Then I'll see you in church today, Maam?

SPAM - I'm gonna presume howie's his in-town-these-are-the-sinners man. Or something.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

[Howie, your resident church lurker and verger-type-man, is fretting about this carnival. A lot. A real, real lot. He's currently lighting some candles for evening prayer.

OH. And he has a Southern drawl now. Because he always has stupid accents.]

I do worry about this carnival, Reverend. I do believe they're bringing nothing but the Devil and all the trouble that follows Him to this town. We will be damned if we do not resist those temptations. You are right to remind everyone, but I fear they won't listen.

SPAM - I LOVE IT! HI HOWIE

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect folded his hands behind his back, listening as Howie fretted about the coming of the carnival. He gave a sage nod.]

My child there is only so much that we can do. The Devil will tempt, but the force of God and his love is great, and he will overcome. If they walk the path of the wicked, then we must hold the line on path back to righteousness for them.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

There's nothing evil about dancing, preacher. We have to make a living too, you know.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

No, Sister, the evil is in the mind of man. Your dancing is merely the temptation which leads him to it.

Sister, have you considered other forms of gainful employment?

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

You make it sound like we're some manner of alien! I've found a home here, where we look out for one another, what better tribute to God could we be?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I certainly don't intend too, my son. But there are rules for how we answer to the Lords grace. Let the bible guide your care for each other, and for those who patronize you, and you will do well.

[charmedandperky.livejournal.com]

I'll drink to that!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, please do so in moderation.

[cisskabob]

It can't be all bad, can it?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

No, no, not all bad, just, if you go, be sure to mind your virtue. There are men who would take advantage of a young lady like you.

[JUST LIKE YOUR POOR SHAMEFUL MOTHER BEFORE YOU.]

[girlenoughforu.livejournal.com]

Are you sure it's all right, preacher? [TREMULOUS VOICE SOB.]

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I hear that your brother's going to be taking you up there, Mindy? Well, you just keep an extra special watch on him and be sure to cry right out if you see him start to slip into the arms of sin, and I know that he loves you so much he'll do the same for you!

You'll both be fine, I'm sure!

Town doctor

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Would it not be better if they didn't go at all, Father?

Town doctor

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

It would indeed be best if they could turn their faces away from temptation entirely, but as I fear we are far from the perfect world. If I can dissuade them at least from drink, from the temptation of the flesh, and from gambling, then perhaps whether or not they ride the big wheel ain't quite so important.

Kirk... is sort of hitting on Prefect lolll

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

You gonna pray for us, Preacher?

THIS... kinda sounds like he's reciprocating, but HE'S JUST TRYING TO GET YOU TO CHURCH.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Certainly, Brother. If you're sure I can't move you to come and pray for yourself?

[bythe_books]

You're a charitable man, right, minister?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I certainly try to be. Why do you ask?

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

Amen, father.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

And the Lord be with you, my dear Brother.

[youcandielater.livejournal.com]

Don't urge your Flock to take part in these shenanigans, Reverend. You're their Shepherd and without your holy hand to guide them as the Lord sees fit, they'll surely fall to the Devil, the whole lot of them.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Rest assured, I've no intention of abandoning them to the Devil, As I doubt I could keep them from going entirely, I think that to ensure they carry the word of god in their hearts and their souls when they go about, is the best safeguard that I can give them.

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

"Stick with God, He'll make sure you don't have any fun."

Fine sales pitch there, Father.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

There are plenty of fun things to do at the Carnival that the Lord sees no harm in. I only urge people to be able to make the distinction between which are and which are not harmless.

[i-cantakeit.livejournal.com]

Oh Father, you always speak so well. Amen and God bless you.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Why thank you Emily. May the Lord be with you.

[AKA: THANKS FOR NOT GETTING ALL PISSED OFF WITH ME LIKE MISATO DID!]

[subtlescience]

Well, you've certainly show me the error of my ways.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

The Lord shows man his errors, I only walk in his light.
