Raz swung his legs in small arcs under the ledge, looking at Cori out of the corner of his eye.
"Well I don't think you are," he affirmed.
"Yeah, might as well. It'll get hot up here soon, and then the crows will think we're bizarre meat being hung out to dry or something," he explained clumsily.
"I kind of want to jump" he added, peering over the edge into the tangled brush of the church property. He didn't know how serious he was. It would probably mean him dying, but that...didn't really add or subtract to being serious at this point.

Cori thanked him for the compliment in some bizarre tongue then peered over the edge with him. The ground was fairly far away. She wondered if anyone had ever committed suicide from a church spire before... it was pretty ironic -and- soul-damning, after all.
"You could do that," she confirmed.
Then she swung her legs out and twisted around and got so that she was clinging off the edge, feet stuck firmly in two toeholds. With this accomplished, she was ready to climb back down to the window, but paused a moment to look up at Raz to see what he would do.
OOC - Your cords and things are by the front door. I'd call my house when you're on the way just make sure my gramma's inside and not like taking a walk, but she knows you're coming around 3.

Raz stood up and waited while Cori lowered herself down. He just kept staring at the ground below, wondering abstractedly about pain and thorns and crushing sounds and whether or not Cori would scream.
But he shrugged, and turned, and started to climb down after Cori. He started humming a happy tune he had heard in another time, another life. A time when what he just contemplated would've been suicidal instead of interesting.

OOC - I really like that post! Anyways, I guess they're going back into the window and then down and out somehow? Maybe they could just climb the whole way down. *ponders*
Cori slinked back in through the window, hitting the floor with her boots and the accompanying ringing noise. She looked around the curved stairwell as she waited for Raz, wondering what souls haunted these halls and if maybe there was someone else there. It would be nearly impossible to tell until a few steps away from them.
What kind of pain would clinging, religious psychos inflict on unfortunate teens that had walked into their/god's space?

Raz waited for Cori to get in the window and then flung himself in after her. He passed her and started walking down the stairs, still humming, hands now in pockets.
"Hooo!" he called out when he was down the stairs one flight, listening to his voice reverberate and gently clang off the bells. He laughed at the ridiculous noise, not thinking about being quiet. He figured everyone in the church was probably dead by now anyway, and if they weren't, well, maybe hearing a "ghost" would scare them to death.

Cori blinked after him. Apparently her hypothesis about religious killers haunting the halls was incorrect. And hey, if she was right, somehow, the loud boy prancing down the stairway in front of her would surely be the first to go.
Soon enough they'd reached the bottom of the stairs and the tiny, pressing walls had spread out into a cavernous expanse of mahogany pews and stained glass. The stillness of the room was pristine, a bible decorating a stand here, a body decorating a cross there...
Cori had stopped beside Raz, staring out at the bloodied figure that had flung itself over the cross. Or perhaps someone else had places it there... it was almost artful, the way it's arm draped over the horizontal part....
OOC: Email me when you post, please! Also, I'll be running an errand for Blue Sky soon, actually to bethesda (lol) so I won't be back on till like 1 or 1:30, I think. <3s

(OOC - lol)
Raz was surprised that the church still felt...well...churchy. He and Cori stood side by side, gazing up at the semi-crucified body. It somehow made it all the more churchy, Raz found.
"Someone or something must have cleared the other bodies out. There were some more here last week," Raz said casually but quietly.
"I'd be kinda pissed if I was a believer thought this whole thing was the rapture or something, and then didn't get taken up. I wonder if that dude did that to himself or not," he said, pointing.
The morning light was still pretty faint, and it cast washed out shadows through the stained glass and onto the ground around them. Rainbows. Beauty. Man-made, of course, but still something.

Cori raised an eyebrow, wondering why someone would do something like that do their own body. Maybe thoughts of salvation, immortality, made such things possible... you know, like those mothers that lift refrigerators off their trapped children...
Did she just mumble 'refrigerators' out loud?

She studied the body a bit more, ignoring Raz's statement of the item she'd mumbled. God, he was weird. Wouldn't a normal person just ask what she was talking about?
Re: Atheists in God's Hizouse « Reply #41 on Jul 11, 2007, 12:38pm »
"Biscuit."
And then Raz walked down the center aisle and slowly spread his arms out, walking towards the front. He noticed a few shoes on the ground, footless and sad.
"BISCUIT!" he shouted upwards, and heard a faint moan from not too far away, somewhere low and on the left.

Cori watched him move down the middle of the church, his arms making his own body into a cross. Then the yell of 'biscuit' bounced through the space, coming back as more than just an echo. It sounded like the 'cuit' part, accentuated by a moan from the side. Some unfortunate, barely alive survivor? A priest getting off on some choirboy? A ghost?
