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!]

If you'll have me in attendance then certainly I'll bring you some when I come! I wouldn't wish to presume that you're not ordained, but I know from experience how much more smoothly a service goes when you've someone to assist!

[bythe_books]

Naw, I mean, I would? But my brother assists. He's sort of my other half, right, so it wouldn't do to shove him aside like that.

'Specially 'cause I can't. I mean literally. I can't.

SEE WHAT HE'S DOING HERE?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Oh I quite understand! Certainly I could never expect you to reject your brother! But still, I'm very pleased that you'd feel comfortable with me being there to join you, at the least.

What time should I bring the wine to your service?

Aw, see, like, I don't have a problem with that? I know you're a good bloke, o heavenly... brother [YES SAM IS GOOD AT FAKE RELIGION TALK], but this is sorta a... private service? Some of the other freaks get a little self conscious around 'norms'.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THIS CONVERSATION STARTED, Prefect sounds genuinely incredulous.] The same Freaks who make their living being looked at by 'norms'?

[bythe_books]

[SAM SOUNDS GENUINELY OFFENDED. He's not... but he sounds it.] Oi! When it comes to worshiping the lord, we're OFF DUTY! You wouldn't expect our dancers to show up at your service without their knickers, right? They ain't on the job when those lights go off. It's the same for us! [SO. OFFENDED.]

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Two can play at that game, Sam. Prefect's reply is downright wounded!] Are you implying sir, that I, a man of the cloth, would wish to attend a religious service, in order to gawk at your comrades, rather than sacrifice the dollar it would cost me to do so in a fair and gainful way?

[WOUNNNNDED, SAM. YOU OFFENDED A PREACHER!]

have freak2 (instead of freak1b) to back you up.

He's not implyin' that at all. He's sayin that it ain't hypocrisy to want to have some time to ourselves after bein' stared at all day.

Sometimes, this kind of service is the only thing we get to ourselves. Feels kinda' unfair to impose yourself upon it, you know, as much as I'm sure you're a good priest. It ain't about you gawking, just having a bit of time to ourselves.
