[taravata]

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Something on your mind, Preacher?

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

Angel cosplay?

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

So your weakness is the bible?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

[ Harshly. ]

Don't call me that.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

All right.

Something on your mind?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

[ THE LONGEST MOST UNCOMFORTABLE PAUSE. ]

Speakin' another language, Tamaki.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

What's this got to do about my weaknesses? I'll tell you. Nothin'.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Nothing I mean to think about.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

But it's still something.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Seems like it's the friggin' curse of the day. [he knows because he showed up cursed.]

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't be any of your business, even if it was.

[ Pins and needles. Ben is just the friendliest guy. ]

[taravata.livejournal.com]

And your interested. In my business.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

Just curious. Seeing as it turned up here and all.

YOU'RE*

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Don't got the appetite for stricture usually.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Dude, I wasn't judging. Just asking.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

[ He holds a breath, pausing, then pulls back on his defensive attitude ]

Don't know what this got to do anything.

[ Liar. ]

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

... I don't think I remember the chapter.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Me neither.

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

Just quoting, then?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Ain't my words. I never meant to say 'em.

[A beat. ]

Don't mean anything.

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

[ you make it very hard to give you any plausible deniability, Ben. ]

I wouldn't say that--I remember the book it's from. But it does seem a bit random.

[ pause ]

It's a nice line, at least.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

[ He's not the best at lying, this Ben Hawkins. ]

Even with the Satan part?

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

Well--he's offering light.

I figured ;)

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

If that's true, then that makes this even stranger.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

Ah! Sorry, sorry... cosplay! Costuming like a fictional character, or someone of myth. It's very fashionable with today's youth.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Hell if I know.

It's a bible verse. One of the Corinthians I think but last time I really read the bible, it was Revelations.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Place makes you do cray things. Does crazy things to you. You know that.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's it. The devil's real big on dressing up.

[ His ignorance is actually quite... heartwarming. In a weird way. It must be nice, living in such innocence. ]

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Corinthians 11:14.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Could be a trick. Says he's offerin' light, but all he really means to do is snare you, get you eating out of his palm.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is. But that doesn't mean the light wasn't real.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[ What else would you be doing, Mr. Nameless man. ]

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Once it was. Now it ain't.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

I guess it doesn't mean anything, then.

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

I guess that depends on what your qualifications are.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

The hell you mean by that?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

You'll go crazy. Tryin' to look for meaning in every nook and cranny.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

Is that experience talking?

Or am I just trying to look for meaning in every nook and cranny again?

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

So what's it got to do with you?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

What do you think?

private

[taravata.livejournal.com]

The usher's a man of the goddamn cloth, goin' around taking advantage of folks, corrupting them. Making them think he's gonna save them or some bunk.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

I think it might just be both at the same time.

Re: private

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Anything you can do to expose him?
