I got new glasses today.

[annie-lehane]

I think you should stick with glasses.

[laurel-mitchell]

Thank you? I'm Laurel, by the way, are you new?

[laurel-mitchell]

I got new glasses today.

What do you think?

[laurel-mitchell]

My parents sent me flowers.

[jonah-between-your-legs-blog]

Made the days with God even better. 

[laurel-mitchell]

I'm sure. So have you been, Jonah? Keeping up with your prayers?

[laurel-mitchell]

My parents sent me flowers.

[mychildishfantasies]

I’ve been here for a week or two. I’m Crissandra.

[laurel-mitchell]

Then I'm surprised we haven't met! It's nice to meet you, Crissandra. What a lovely name. How are you liking Brookhaven so far?

[laurel-mitchell]

My parents sent me flowers.

[jonah-between-your-legs-blog]

They are beautiful, remind me of the flowers that sat along the stairs at church. 

[laurel-mitchell]

Oh my goodness, your church must have been so beautiful. We always had fake flowers in ours.

[laurel-mitchell]

My parents sent me flowers.

[mychildishfantasies]

They’re lovely.

[laurel-mitchell]

Thank you! Are you new? I'm Laurel.

[laurel-mitchell]

My parents sent me flowers.

Aren't they beautiful?

I'm not sure if this makes me more or less homesick.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

That sounds nice. I’d love to.

[laurel-mitchell]

Meet me there after dinner?

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

I just might take you up on that offer. It would be the first time I’ve prayed in…thirteen years.

[laurel-mitchell]

Really? I'm praying tonight by the lake if you'd like to come.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

You’re kind, but you don’t really know what sins I’ve stockpiled over the years.

[laurel-mitchell]

God forgives all sins, Nathan. You should try praying sometime, you could come pray with me, even.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh, it is. There are a lot of people out there who would love to see me fall through a chasm into Hell’s fiery depths.

I’m glad none of them are here right now to tell you all of the reasons why.

[laurel-mitchell]

Whatever reasons they have, God will forgive your sins.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

Thank you, that’s very nice of you to say.

I’m glad you think so. Some people would beg to differ.

[laurel-mitchell]

Of course. I pray for anyone who needs it.

I'm sure that isn't true.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh, no…I’m not exactly the religious type…

[laurel-mitchell]

[pauses] I'll pray for you.

You seem too nice to go to Hell.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

What? Oh, no, I meant like, actual people’s voices.

[laurel-mitchell]

Oh my. Do you pray for them?

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

Sometimes listening is the most difficult part. When you have a million voices telling you that you’re alone and helpless, God’s voice doesn’t always ring clear, you know?

[laurel-mitchell]

Oh goodness, I'm sorry, you're like that Lacey girl? You hear voices?

How insensitive of me. I'm so sorry.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

Well, I mean, it’s understandable that people around here could feel lost or not believe. It’s been pretty hard for most of them…us.

[laurel-mitchell]

But people at Brookhaven are exactly the people that need to find God, so he can help them through. God is always here to help, Nathan. We just have to listen for him.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh shit, what did I just walk into.

[nathan--grimm]

Oh. *nods* Well, God’s a smart man.

[laurel-mitchell]

[beams] Yes, He is.

It's good to find people here that agree, my prayer list for those who have been swayed by Satan's lust at Brookhaven has gotten quite long.
