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!]

[And she's a sucker for that dark and broody type. So she gives him a bit of a smile and wraps her arms around his neck, giving him a proper kiss.]

Then come to the carnival with me. [She presses herself closer against him.]

And make sure you keep me from temptation.

[As Sophie pushes her body against his own, Prefect takes a sharp breath of air. Everything about her is electrifying to him.]

I--

[Oh, he really, really shouldn't.]

Not to keep you from it, Sophie. I will come to keep others from seeing the temptation within you.

But you will come? [She reaches up to run her fingers through his hair and gleefully gives him another kiss as a reward.]

I'm so glad!

Okay, for you, I'll come. [He can't help but grin at knowing that he's the cause for her happiness. Ezekiel leans in to kiss her back deeply, wanting to leave her breathless.]

[His words were perfect. She was completely in love with everything that he said, every way that he made her feel. She was so swept up in it all. When she pulled away from the kiss, she clung to him, her knees weak.]

Zeke, you know just what to say to make me melt.

[Oh, he likes the sound of that! Scooping his hand around her back to support her, he gently slides his free hand down the side of her face,]

Then let me melt with you.

[That didn't make sense... FORTUNATELY HE CAN JUST BEND HER OVER AND KISS HER AND HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE SO ROMANTIC THAT SHE DOESN'T NOTICE!]

[He's so totally romantic that she doesn't notice a thing. This is her life.]

Zeke...[She puts a finger against his lips and tries to pull away after a moment. Not that she wants to but...she feels like she should.]

Should we?

[He bites his lip, slightly, studying her mouth. She looks so beautiful like this...]

Yes.

[He leans in to try and kiss her again, more softly, this time.]

[And faaaaaaade out....]

...

[Only to faaaaade back in. Sophie finished dressing quickly and, sitting on the floor, leaned back against the pulpit, staring up at the altar. Her lips are moving in a prayer, but she's not actually saying anything. Rebellious girl still has Christian guilt.]

[Behind her, Prefect is standing a little way away from the altar. He doesn't want to look at her right now because he knows where his mind will go, and right now... he can't. It isn't fair on her.]

[Carefully, he lowers a crucifix around his neck, then lets out a soft sigh.]

This evening, do you still wish for me to accompany you?

[She looks over, eyes wide, and nods once.] Of course, Zeke. I'd like that. [Look away. After a moment or two of wrestling with that guilt, she manages to stow it away and stands up. Taking what was left of the peanuts, she walks over to him and presses the bag into his hand, trying to force him to pay attention to her.]

You didn't have any.

[It works, he looks at her, feeling the bag pressed into his hand, and it happens instantly. Underneath the grating guilt and fear of what he's done, there's another wave of attraction. Of arousal. He gives her a careful, half smile.]

Thank you.

[This said, he carefully picks open the bag, and plucks out one of the chocolates, to pop it into his mouth. He closes his eyes, his expression one of obvious (and slightly milked) enjoyment.]

Mmmm, delicious.

[She gives him that blissfully happy, doe eyed look and shrugs once, glad that he's enjoying it, at least. She really didn't like the guilt that came along with all of this. Yes, she liked the silent, broody part of him, but she was too young, too naive to really understand the implications behind it. So, because she did not understand it, she didn't think it mattered too much.]

I told you they would be.

[She hesitates for a moment before asking her next question.] Are you really gonna try and convert them all?

[Ezekiel looks down a little shyly, before glancing back up to her and giving a slight nod.]

Well, I can't force nobody to join the church if they choose not too, but I've a responsibility to guide them to the Lord. If a sinner dies tomorrow and he burns in hell because I did not reach out to guide him towards the light? Then that blackens my soul with it.

[Sophie bit her lip in thought.] I ain't sayin' that you gotta let them burn, Zeke.

But what people are sayin' around town is that the way they live is bad. And I don't see nothin' wrong with it. So why you gotta convert 'em at all? [Of course, she didn't actually believe the stories about alcohol and naked women.]

[Ezekiel knitted his brows, his expression troubled.] It ain't just travellin' and games, Sophie. There's dark things up there that money's exchanged over, handled outside the light of the Lord.

Besides, [He gives a shrug,] Anyone who lives without the forgiveness of the Lord is destined for the fires. I've gotta at least try an' save them from that.

[Well, she didn't like to hear that.] You don't mean...alcohol and...[She couldn't even bring herself to say the word. It was too shameful. To pay for such things? Certainly not.]

Well, all the more reason for you to come and protect me.

[Prefect nodded.] So estranged from the Lord are they that such things are common to them. [Then, at her next comment, he smiled, and reached out to gently place his hands on her shoulders.]

And protect you I shall. What time should I meet you?

[She laughed, feeling in better spirits now.]

One hour. I need to get dressed and tell Rex. [Up on her toes again, she met his lips with a passionate kiss, though she pulled away almost as quickly.]
