More's the pity that this is the first one you've seen, then...
[GAZING TIREDLY AT THE CULTASS STAINED GLASS AND SIGHING.]
But given they're meant to be shelters and places of respite and connection, yes, typically. [And then, with a polite nod:] I don't believe we've spoken yet? My name is Lucas. [Pronounced Frenchly, like Luca.]
Someone thefted the evil bible, both fortunately and unfortunately. Unfortunately mostly in that I've been told it gives people strange visions, so it's really best left tucked away or burned.
Where I'm from, no, not at all. I've never seen anyone explode from their faith or from anything else. [HE'S NOT FROM A CRAZY CANON LIKE THE REST OF THE PEOPLE HERE.] But that apparently happened to someone that she knew...?

Lucas will also go mosey in, though! He's coming to see if the evil bible is still missing, which it probably is. WHO STOLE THE EVIL BIBLE.
Anyway, he's dressed rather simply in black pants and a bit of a poncy white shirt, so he probably looks like he belongs here.]
A church is meant to feel soothing, but this one certainly misses the mark.

Are they? I've never been to one.

Geto. [ don't call him by his first name ] Have you spent a lot of time in this church?
no subject
A bit more than others, perhaps, if only because it's slightly less disconcerting than some of the other buildings here...
[The mortuary with its scratchy coffin lids or the barn that might have BUGS IN IT.]
no subject
Even with the demon bible?

Visions? [ head tilt ] Like what?
no subject
You would have to ask the madam with long hair and a ballgown, as she's the one who mentioned it to me. I've yet to experience any visions, myself.

I'm afraid not, as she and I ended up quite wrapped up in a very interesting discussion about gods and poor souls whose faith led them to explode.
no subject
... Explode? Is that a thing where you're from?

... Okay. [ sure ] There are definitely some interesting stories around here. Have you met the cowboy?
no subject
The monsieur who insisted on stripping near-naked and trying to tear his poster down enough times to cover his hands in cuts?
[He doesn't know what a cowboy is. He does, however, remember Hill of the Boot having cowboying on his poster.]
no subject
Yeah, he's from space. [ taps his chin ] This could all be the work of aliens.
