I come outta my prayer dazed. Sometimes the Lord is clear as a bell an' sometimes... well, sometimes he jus' leaves you with more questions. I go walkin' back in the direction o' the family and see SeaTac there. SeaTac. The soldier. After that visi…

Openin' my brain. (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 4, 1. Total: 7) Exp+1

This is the kind o' situation where I need the Lord's advice. I'm at a loss without Him right now. Things are bleak, and the folks I would normally turn to are suffering or occupied. I find a quiet space, sit down, and commune with the Lord. What …
-
No one big thing, per se, SeaTac, but I grew up in a church that was the exact opposite o' the one that I run. Similar structure- leader overseein' everythin', but the kind o' leader that that takes more than he gives and uses his followers trust in…

Let's see Dog do Hot.

Fortunes roll! (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 2, 3. Total: 6)

SeaTac knows me better. I get highlighted by Vignette.

I laugh. "You ain't wrong, Val. Folks gotta eat n' drink. But a lot o' folks in my line o' work tend to shun those who serve spiritous beverages. And we both know some o' the stuff that goes on under yer roof. I mean, just look o'er my shoulder at t…

I ain't a good dancer, but I can hold my own. Not like all these rowdy kids out here, but I can make due. Val is, of course, better, ze's nice and keepin' me from embarassin' myself. "This is a sight, eh? Not sure a preacher is s'posed to be danci…

I turn to QuePasa as Valentine suggests this. "Mind waitin' one minute, friend. Can't turn zir down for a dance, can I?"
-
I nod to QuePasa. I think it's time to head home. Turning to Valentine I say "Of course, Val. I don't mean to you or what you do. Never would be my intention at all. You provide more than a service fer folks, and fer that, we all owe you. But I do t…

"I ain't against bread and circuses, Val. The Lord done blessed bread, and I enjoy some good entertainment like anyone else. But that phrase, bread and circuses... what it represents was the Romans- they're were wicked rulers when the Lord walked th…
-
Of course. The Arrows. Should probably tread lightly, here. Or, perhaps not? "Val, we're just talkin' about justice, here. Dog here wants t' know how you force God's hand to let you know who's just and right. Way I see it, friend, you can't force G…
-
I chuckle at this Dog person's comment. "Dog, my friend, that absolutely counts. Frankly, I'd say most of us are just repeatin' stuff we heard, tryin' to sound smart n' interestin' fer other folks. I'm Gates, by the way, this is my friend QuePasa. …
-
"Well, friend, that's a really good question." I think about what SeaTac asked, hard, for a second. "I truly believe, sir, that outcomes matter. One can take a hard action, but if it makes the world better, like by reducin' other folks sufferin', …
-
I think about the conversation that QuePasa and SeaTac are havin'. She's tryin' to find somethin' wrong in how he's talkin' because she's tryin' to kill that part o' herself. "Y'ain't wrong, QuePasa. It's a hard world. So SeaTac's got the right of …
-
I laugh out loud at that last one. "If I ever've walked through the rain and not got all wet it's because I was holdin' an umbrella. That's how these things, go, though. Some folks tend to accumulate stories around 'em like pipes gatherin' rust an…
-
I regard SeaTac as he tells me all this. "Sure, friend, I'll have a drop o' whisky. And I think I heard a little bit in the past about yer solderin'. Can't rightly remember where, but word gets around. How'd you get into that sort o' thing?"
-
"Good to meet you all. So what, can I ask, are ya trainin' Joey in?"
-
I take my leave of Vignette thinking about the situation she's in. Poor thing. Must be rough to have to... My thoughts are interrupted as I nearly bump into a rough lookin' fella. "Sorry about that, friend. I was a bit lost in thought. You're Sea…
-
I mull that one over. "Well, weasly lookin' fella warin' a robe. New here, I think. No one had seen him before. Don't know that I want anythin' befallin' him, but if you kept an eye out, that would certainly be helpful. Now if you'll excuse me, I m…
-
"Well, Vignette, that is, indeed, a tough nut to crack. On the one hand, the Lord said 'for what will it profit one to gain the whole world, but lose their soul.' What I take that to mean is that it ain't no good to gain anythin' iff'n it means corr…
-
I try not to let Vignette's question register too much on my face. Course I worry about that. "I ain't one to defend the Admiral, Vignette, but I do trust yer judgement. You got a way o' knowin' people, and if you think maybe he's innocent, well,…
-
I raise an eyebrow at Vignette. "Things not lookin' up for the admiral, eh? I'm not one to pry, but I wouldn't mind hearing the details of that." I pause, glancing at Cujo again. Don't rightly know Cujo. Seems quiet. I wonder what's up? "As fer th…
-
I smile broadly as Vignette says this. "Yeah, that's why I wanted to come by and say hi, Vignette. That kid was hurtin' and you did right by him. Like you said, not sure he's ever gonna forgive you, per se, but we gave him more than enough to think …
-
I smile at QuePasa's sourpuss face. Course, I didn't really need to convince her. I jus' said I was going to go check out this here gathering I heard about, say "hi" to a few folks, and she insisted on comin'. I'm significantly older than her, but I…
-
I draw the family back to me and put a hand on FortyFour's big shoulder. "Like I was sayin', folks. We got choices to make about how to make this place we live a lil' better. We best start makin' 'em for folks like that push us too far."
-
I shake my head at Rain's comments. "My friends and I would have been happy to show you what we get outta livin'. Sure it's rough, but there's moments o' beauty that make it worth it. What is church but makin' one o' those moments. But you don't ge…

Well, looks like this guy's gonna give me a good head-knockin'. Hopefully Ghost'll be able to get it stitched up. Well, what would life be if we didn't get a good knock in the head now-and-then. The whole family moves in but just a little too late. …
