.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.]

Shit, I don't know. You just got me thinking the other day. 'Bout making an honest living and getting my girls out of this life. Cause I deserve it but they don't.

Private : Prefect is SO MOVED :C

I--

Brother, If you need any help, the Church doesn't have a lot of money, but if you sincerely wish to change your life then there is no easy way to do it. I've seventy dollars in the church accounts, It's yours, if you'll take it.

Private - THIS IS SO TOUCHING :C

I can't take your money, preacher.

Jim, please let me do this for you. The money belongs to the church, it could only go towards a good cause, and I can't think of any better cause than you starting a new life.

It won't get us totally there but it'll help.

Thanks, preacher.

I got prayers this afternoon at one, you can come by after, if that suits you? Pick the money up?

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I can manage that.

Private INTO SPAM!

I'll see you soon then.

[No one came to prayers that day. Prefect stood - his face still bruised and scabbed from his fight with Neil - at the front of the church for fourty minutes, praying alone.

He couldn't blame them, really. He was their shepherd, and if he wandered from the flock, then there was no reason why they should do otherwise. When the time for prayers was over, he wandered to the vestibule, and got out the church's funds, counting out the money he'd promised the other man, as he waited for Kirk to arrive.]
