[He won't stare for that long, at least - just a moment... Because he's just like. MURDERER?????? He does not know he's in a murdergame and there will be so many murderers soon.]
I've taken a peek inside, but nothing happened, really... I don't know what sort of visions happen, but it's likely best not to try and find out, don't you think?
[THE BIBLE IS HERE AND IS APPARENTLY MOVING A LITTLE. Lucas will follow in after but he's looking at this evil moving bible with a great deal of displeasure.]
[AVENTURINE PLEASE. He watches this happen but he's not surprised that nothing happens because the cursed contents are on the inside of the evil bible, not the outside.]
[He's free of the influence of the evil bible... Or maybe it's because two of them are here...]
How strange. But not a terrible strangeness! You shouldn't tempt fate like this when you already have the misfortune of being chosen for a ritualistic sacrifice in the first place.
There's a little sound of surprise at that, though, and he glances down at himself but he cannot see something on his own collar.]
Oh... Has something appeared? [HE HATES THIS ACTUALLY. WHAT IF HIS OWN ALSO SAYS MURDERER FOR SOME REASON AND THEN HE'LL LOOK LIKE A DOOF FOR STARING AT AVENTURINE'S.] ...I suppose you can ask, if you have questions. I ought to have asked you the same, earlier.
[Said in a note of gentle apology, even though he feels like Aventurine was okay with him not saying anything.]

Visions, huh? [ Why is he feeling even more curious now... ] You haven't given it a try?
no subject

no subject
I'm assuming it works by taking the Bible away from the church?
[ Strolls into the church i don't even know if the Bible is still here or not. ]
no subject
It was like this when it was returned...
no subject
He just assumes this is normal from a curse Bible and he... picks it up.
Nothing happens? ]
no subject
Are you truly so curious?
no subject
[ Waves it around a bit... Flips through its pages... It doesn't seem very cursed. ]
And now, we'll see what all the excitement's been about.
[ Walks out of the Church with it? ]
no subject
You should be at least a little wary of a supposedly demonic book that can curse people with visions...
[BUT HE'LL FOLLOW AVENTURINE BACK OUT!! HE GUESSES!! Since he needs to be on standby in case he explodes or something.]
no subject
I don't see anything. I don't hear anything, either.

[Holding his hand out for the BIBLE!!!!]
no subject
[ Subscribing to the theory of WHAT MORE COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN. But he'll hand Lucas the Bible. ]
Going to take it back inside?
no subject
[He'll take the book though, tucking it under his arm.]
At this point, I feel like I should throw it into the fire to stop people from stealing it.
no subject
Worth a try.
no subject
You didn't think that over for even a moment... My dear, I really am going to worry about you if this is how you intend to spend your time here.
no subject
Hey, you were the one to suggest it!
no subject
[A normal fire, on the other hand!]
no subject
[ It would just come from demonic runes. ]
no subject
Hm... Or, we could simply start a fire elsewhere without involving the pyre?
[STOP TRYING TO BURN THE EVIL BIBLE.
Oh yeah, while he's contemplating this, a word finally projects over the collar of his fancy white shirt. It just says Nadia.]
no subject
But Aventurine's gaze flits over to the collar of Lucas' shirt, and then there's a moment's pause before he has to ask, ]
Would you rather I ignore the words that come across you?
no subject
There's a little sound of surprise at that, though, and he glances down at himself but he cannot see something on his own collar.]
Oh... Has something appeared? [HE HATES THIS ACTUALLY. WHAT IF HIS OWN ALSO SAYS MURDERER FOR SOME REASON AND THEN HE'LL LOOK LIKE A DOOF FOR STARING AT AVENTURINE'S.] ...I suppose you can ask, if you have questions. I ought to have asked you the same, earlier.
[Said in a note of gentle apology, even though he feels like Aventurine was okay with him not saying anything.]
no subject
But since he has permission... ]
You've got "Nadia" on your collar there. [ Points. ] I'm assuming a name?
no subject
Oh! [OH HIS NADIA. He places a hand against his collar, a bit reflexively.] It is, yes. Nadia is my little sister.
no subject
Aventurine freezes, suddenly self-conscious of the possibility of something similar appearing on his own body, but he quickly recovers. ]
Is she... okay?
no subject
Aventurine can now live in fear knowing that he may be next... There's a little bit of thinness in his smile, but:]
She's doing better.
no subject
What happened to her? If you don't mind me asking, of course.
