It doesn't matter where you put me or what you do for me, or who you have me talk to. They're all still fools who don't understand how the game is played.

I bet right now, right now if I asked to take anyone's picture they'd let me.

The work continues, no matter where I am.

[But maybe this dimension will yield different results?


Charlie Dan Jacobs's expression never changes. It never wavers. There's no pain, just a distinct sense of finality and he spreads his hands.]

...You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

[There's something very mocking in his tone] Give me my rings and I will continue to do your works.

[ Interesting. A man of God. Gisèle keeps her distance from him, posture closed off, not wanting to get too close if he's got a crucifix. But he intrigues her. ]

Ah, oui? And what would happen if you take my picture?

[thelightningman]

Not just any picture, a picture in lightning.

[He draws a curtain back (what, you didn't see it before?) revealing a massive photo-board and an image - an image of a woman carved in electricity. It's Detailed, elegant, beautiful.

He smiles.

The downside is that it uses a special sort of electricity. A sort not normally tapped into or found. A sort that's dangerous, that can unlock parts of the mind best left unlocked and help people to see things they'd never traditionally see.

Through the mists. Through the thinnies.]

Keepsake. To remember our meeting. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another.

[Another verse. But he neglected the rest of it. especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.]

[ Gisèle is impressed, though she doesn't exactly remember giving her permission for the portrait. She steps closer, wanting to examine it but still give the man a wide berth. ]

Encourage? Encourage to do what?

[thelightningman]

To be friendly, joyful, have fun. Certainly in a place like this. [He'll hope for handsome. It's been slim pickings today despite the lightning man's sales.]

Or perhaps just to be supportive. In such a place we need the support of one another.

[aucou]

[ She hums thoughtfully, finger tapping her chin as she examines the portrait. ]

Hmm. Support is helpful, that is true, but not so easily given, sometimes.

[ Or too easily given, at other times. ]

[thelightningman]

Do you feel that way? Like it's never given to you?

[He begins packing his equipment]

Non. Pas du tout. It is more true to say that I do not seek it.
