...He felt a twinge of fear for his immortal soul.

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

... Why, what is this place?

[He looks up at the sky]

Father, have I sinned so greatly that I've been sent to spend eternity in this unknown place?

(( ooc: This is Priest Luxord. Enjoy =P))

(...okay. weird)

I take it you're Catholic?

(Riku is some sort of Protestant. Nondenominational is most likely.)

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

[He shifts his gaze to the boy.]

That would be correct, young man.

[high0f75.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, I'm a Christian.

(oh. right. where he is)

This is the dressing room. There are other versions of people here.

(points at nearby Riku)

See?

[does a serious doubletake there, jawdrop and all]

--son of a preacher man, I presume?

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

[A nod.] What is your name, young man?

[... What in God's name is this place?]

...A clone?

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

A Catholic Priest.

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

That's a new one. So-- [grins] --did you know that you're not the only you here? --and that those ones are drinking, gambling, perverted, and otherwise lawless men?

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

...!

[Shakes head.] Those poor unfortunate souls...

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[blinks, then laughs--not having expected the other take him so seriously]

--not a party boy? Shame. You don't know what you're missing.

[waves a hand] Regardless, you don't looked to thrilled about arrival here. --not the place you wanted to be?

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

I used to be.

I should be at the church now. The young boy there has provided me with some information on this place [Motions to Riku], but I would like to know more.

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

Consider me your roadmap then. I'd give you my usual 'Welcome to Hell' bit, but I doubt you'd appreciate it. So in that case, welcome to the dressing room, father. You got a name?

[twilightavarice.livejournal.com]

[watches with an amused look.]

Some kind of holy man, then? What a joke. Whatever pulls people in here must have some crazy sense of humor.

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

I believe God has given me a mission here.

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

I would definitely not appreciate it. Thank you.

I'm Luxord. And what should I call you?

[twilightavarice.livejournal.com]

Is that it? [shakes his head] Well, whatever floats your boat, man. What kind of "mission" could you have in a dump like this anyway?

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

I do not yet know, young man. Perhaps I'll be the one who will manage to free us all from this place.

[twilightavarice.livejournal.com]

Well if you manage to, do give me a heads up, holy man.

[high0f75.livejournal.com]

Riku.

(he shakes his head)

No. A different version.
The last time I checked, cloning wasn't THAT good.

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

I'm Axel, resident madman around here--using the term loosely at least. [he gives a shrug.

It's going to take a while to stop thinking of his time-stopper as a man of the cloth, but he'll manage.]

So where're you hailing from anyway? --anywhere close to Chicago? --or are we talking one of those otherworldly deals?

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Riku.

Hm. You mean to tell me that there are many other worlds ou there, and these people come from them?

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

[Hey, he laughs a bit at that.] I think I might be a madman myself. People here seem to know another me that I definitely can't relate to.

I am actually from England.

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

I will be sure to inform all of you.

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[he chuckles and shakes his head] --always with the England... I bet you've got a stiffy for tea and card games too.

--at least, in the non-competitive sense.

[gambleroffaith.livejournal.com]

Of course. Sometimes I play Solitaire, it's good for relaxation.

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[A Solitaire-playing Luxord? Now that was just a crime.]

Well, if you're ever up for something a little less...well...solitary, I've got a good game for you. Hell, I bet my roommate would be up for it too.
