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!]

[And she showed up, soon, hat over her head that she took off as soon as she entered the church. Her shoes echoed a bit as she walked through the rows of pews pensively. She had a bowel in one hand and was focused at the moment on not dropping it.]

SPAM!

[Ezekiel perked up considerably at the sound of someone entering the church.]

Sophie?

[He walked out from the vestibule quickly, a smile gracing his face as he saw her there.]

SPAM!

[Her steps quickened considerably as she walked over and met him, putting the bowl between them. Looking up to him sweetly, she grinned.]

Who else would it be? This is from my mama.

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect put both hands on the bowl, accepting it from her carefully, as he met her eyes.]

I'm certainly not expecting anyone else. You'll have to thank her for me.

[He paused for a moment, then smiled, a little flirtatiously.]

And... I believe you mentioned bringing something for me which you prepared yourself?

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[When she was no longer burdened by the bowl, she stepped back and glanced to the door.] I did.

[She pulled a small cloth pouch from a pocket and opened it, revealing chocolate covered peanuts.] Mama found a chocolate bar and I thought it would make a nice...treat. [She slipped her fingers in to pick one.]

Of course...only if you want any.

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Oho, Prefect likes chocolate, and he really likes Sophie, so he moves back to set the bowl on a small table to the side of the church, before turning back to face her.]

You know I can't say no to anything you offer me.

[SERIOUSLY. HE'S TRIED.]

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[Because her chocolate is so much better. She leaned against the pulpit, looking out to the empty church. The small bag was set there for the moment and she was idly helping herself.]

Well, come and get it. [She stood up straighter, addressing an imaginary crowd.]

Brothers and sisters of God. Turn away from sin, or you shall find yourself in a pit of hellfire and damnation. The devil's goal is simple- to persuade you that he doesn't exist. But he does! In the hearts of the wicked, he exists. [She descended into a fit of giggles.]

What do you think? Could I be a good preacher? If I was a boy and all?

SPAM! - IMAGINE PRIESTLY

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[He moves through the church towards her, his smile fading ever so slightly as she begins her impression of a godly man. He walks to her side, until they're close, less than a foot apart.]

You'd be far better if it sounded like you meant it. You know that when I say those things I ain't lying, Sophie. It ain't a joke.

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[She turned around and gave him a bit of a sad look. It was entirely to try and get herself out of trouble.] I didn't say you were lyin'.

Zeke...my mama and papa raised me right. I know God and I know the devil. I go to church and fear God, just like I'm suppose to. You ain't got nothing to fear for my soul.

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[He's a sucker for those sad looks. Ezekiel leans forward and presses a little kiss onto her forehead.] Sometimes I fear for both our souls... But no, you're right, I know your heart, Sophie, and I know that if God knows you infinitely more than I know you, there is no way he could refrain from needing you in heaven with him.

[Yeah, he's a melodramatic little so and so.]

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[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.

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[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.

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

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!

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

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.]

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[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.

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[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!]

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[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?

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[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.]

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[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.]

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[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?

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[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.

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[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.

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[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?

SPAM!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[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.

SPAM!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[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.]
