.004 - Jesus got to him

[Carnival Filter]

You ever think, that the end of the day, we're just hurting ourselves?

We don't just live in sin. We make it, we invite it into our home and then we wonder why it turns around and bites the hand that's feeding it. We deserve better.

[Private to Father Prefect]

You listen to confessions or something?

[ooc: Preacher Prefect has been preaching at Kirk very convincingly. And with Angie and John leaving, plus Shinzon creeping on Leia, it's just adding fuel to the thinking storm in Jim's head. And when Kirk thinks, crazy impulsive ideas always come popping out.

What you need to know about Carnie Kirk: He and Morgan bark the cooch, most of whom he's related to, Jim himself has, uh... not been exactly faithful to his marriage, either actually selling himself on the sly or just fucking around with the other people in the carnival for funsies. It's cool to assume he and your character have had an affair.]

I'm not saying move in with them. But we ain't exactly making things easier for ourselves either.

[Her reasons for being here have been pretty mysterious for the past decade, so. Private time.]

You ever have stones thrown at you?

No. I haven't.

I have. For telling the truth. They don't like when things are different, James. We're not being sinful for living our lives.

Then let's just make a freak down in the middle of fuck nowhere and stop inviting those crazy people who attack us into our lives.

[Usually the mind reading only works when she's touching someone, but a decade's a decade, she knows him well enough by now.] What happened?

Johnny attacked Leia tonight.

Christ. She all right?

Yeah. I got him out before he could do any real damage.

Good.

[After a pause]

You're not thinking of leaving, are you?

I want my girls to be safe. If leaving means that, then I'm not thinking twice about it.

[And another pause] You could probably get ahead of us when we leave, go to the next town first. They wouldn't know you're some of ours.

I couldn't stand around and watch you folk take whatever the next town full of crazies dealt you.

James, what they deal us is better than what most of us would get alone. If you don't think the girls are safe, you have to take them somewhere that is.

Wherever we end up, you've got a place in our home. Don't forget that.

That's sweet, but I can't go 'round hiding. And you wouldn't be safe if I didn't.

You could be an eccentric cousin.

And what should I say when my ears stick out, hm? Got in a fight with a rice picker?

Knife fight with a Jew?

I don't want people thinking I lost a fight.

They should see the Jew.

Guess that's a thought.
