.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.]

Spare me. You'll have forgotten you even had these idiot ideas by the time we hit the next town.

A Johnny roughed up Leia.

We shoulda stopped when Morgan got hurt.

So you don't think that maybe the decision to stay or go ought to be Morgan's? Or Leia's, or the girls in general?

...

Have you been talking to that preacher in town? All this sin talk is new on me.

I have been talking to Morgan. She's out if I am.

Yeah, I have. But it doesn't take an idiot to know that my line of work ain't the work of saints.

She's out because you are, you mean.

And what about the rest of us, huh? The girls are half the show. I don't anticipate us doing a whole lot besides go under if you all pack up and leave.

[Man why does everyone care about money so much than Kirk does. Leap without looking, people. It's fun.]

Then we should all go. Set up our own freak town. Nobody've have to be laughed at for money or give up their dignity for someone else.

A freak town. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a sideshow attraction at all. I bet nobody at all would undertake half a day's drive to go and marvel at a freak town. Are you drunk?

No. Not at the moment.

I just. I want us all to be safe and to stop having to put up with this shit.

But shit happens no matter what line of work you're in. It's not like you can just leave the carnival and suddenly you'll be living the high life.

I don't need a high life, don't really deserve it. I need my girls to be safe.
