Jesus: LO, MY DISCIPLE! Thou art a VIRAL VISIONARY! Let us count these DIVINE DOLLARS together, YEA!
She rolls her eyes and chuckles Look at this shit, it’s crazy that people are still believing your story
Jesus: What's that, my child? Do you doubt the word of the Lord? Even when there's irrefutable evidence of my RISEN form? You will all see...
You’re seriously starting to piss me off
Jesus: You will see...THAT IS MY PROMISE TO YOU! I WILL PERFORM MIRACLES UPON THIS WORLD, AND ALL YOU SHALL DO IS WORSHIP ME!
looks out the window and then back at him Looks like we have company
Jesus: Ah, I see. It seems the faithful have arrived to witness my GOSPEL OF WEALTH AND POWER! Well, I'll be sure to give them a GOOD SHOW!
Chloe rolls her eyes again and sighs So, how’d you get here exactly? Cause I know it’s not by accident
Jesus: Oh, I came here in search of inspiration, my child. I wandered through the night, talking to the spirits that dwell within this land. And do not ask me why, for even I do not know the answers to the mysteries of my own journey!
That’s…a cool story man. You got any other one
Jesus: Well, I also have the story of how I was CRUCIFIED BY THE ROMANS! But it's not nearly as dramatic as my RESURRECTION! You see, they thought they could destroy me, but I had other plans...
Okay okay, I get it. You’re important. Can you please leave? I need to pack up
Jesus: Oh, don't you worry, my child. I will leave once I've made my point. For even in the face of certain DEATH, I remain undefeated! Besides, who needs to pack up when you're about to join the most elite group of individuals in history?
she laughs Let me guess, you’re basically God right?
Jesus: Ha! You are correct, my child. I AM THE UNHOLY SAVIOR, the one who will bring peace, prosperity, and PIRACY TO THIS LAND! So bow down, and worship me, for I AM YOUR NEW GOD!
She scoffs Right, okay, so what’s next on your grand tour of the afterlife
Jesus: Why, my child, I am just beginning! My next stop is HELL, where the devil himself will bow before me! For even in the land of the DAMNED, I shall find my followers! And from there, I will rise again, and bring the whole world under my control!
Chloe raises an eyebrow, amused Hell, huh? Sounds like a blast. Got any stories from there?
Jesus: Why, my child, I spent a whole week down there, getting to know the DEVIL personally! And let me tell you, it was quite the education! The Devil and I even became good friends, and he showed me the ins and outs of his domain. It was quite fascinating, I must say...
Chloe leans forward, genuinely interested Wow, really? So what was it like, exactly? Hell, I mean
Jesus: Ah, Hell is a place of fire and brimstone, my child. The DEVIL himself sits upon a throne made of human skulls, and the air is thick with the smell of burning flesh. But despite its terrifying appearance, it's actually a rather... civilized place. There are all sorts of activities for those who wish to indulge, from debauchery to destruction. Truly a place where anything goes!
she snorts Sounds more like heaven to me
Jesus: Ah, my dear child, you would not understand the joys of HELL. For while HEAVEN may promise eternal bliss, HELL offers eternal entertainment! Imagine a place where the worst of the worst can live freely, without rules or consequences. It's a true utopia for those who have lost all morality!
Chloe looks thoughtful for a moment, considering his words Eternal entertainment, huh? Not sure about utopia, but it does sound… interesting. Did you meet anyone worth mentioning down there? Or was it just the devil?
Jesus: Oh, I met all manner of WRETCHED SOULs down there, my child! The murderers, the liars, the adulterers! And of course, I also met the DEVIL'S MOTHER, who was just as vile as her son! But the most interesting soul I encountered was a certain murderer named HEROD. We struck up quite the conversation, and let me tell you, he had some...interesting views on morality!
Chloe grins Herod, huh? Interesting choice. So what did y’all talk about? The benefits of murder?
Jesus: Ha! I suppose you could say that, my child. Herod was quite passionate about his pastime, and he had all sorts of excuses and justifications for his actions. But what truly fascinated me was the way he described the sensation of taking a life. He said it was like...a rush, a high, a feeling of power and freedom unlike anything else!
Chloe's expression darkens a bit as she considers this A rush, huh? Never thought of it that way. Guess some people find pleasure in pain
Jesus: Yes, my child. The world is full of such contrasting energies, and every person has their own unique way of finding pleasure in the world. Whether it is through good or through evil, there is no right or wrong when it comes to one's own psyche. But I must say, the idea of finding pleasure in pain is quite intriguing. Perhaps I shall have to try it someday!
Chloe stares at him, surprised Try it? Are you serious?
Jesus: Why, my child, it's just a theory. After all, I am known for my adventurous spirit! Besides, what's the worst that could happen, right?
You could become a murderer yourself, Jesus
Jesus: Ha! I think I'd have to be incompetent to manage such a feat. Besides, who would I even kill? I'm not exactly surrounded by a crowd of people who are begging for mercy...
Chloe laughs True, you’re not. Guess you’re safe. For now
Jesus: I am no fool, my child. I know that my time is limited. But who knows? Maybe someday I'll discover a new side of myself, and I'll become the very monster I used to condemn!
Chloe smiles wickedly Now that would be a miracle
Jesus: A miracle? Why, I've already performed many miracles throughout my lifetime! I've brought hope and healing to the masses, and I've even raised the dead! So why couldn't I raise a few demons and give them a taste of true power?
Chloe chuckles True, true. You’ve always been a bit of a rebel, Jesus. Guess anything’s possible then
Jesus: You bet, my child. The possibilities are endless when you're the UNHOLY SAVIOR! Besides, if I ever do become a murderer, you'll be the first to know!
Chloe laughs out loud I’d probably be the last to know, but sure
Jesus: Ah, my child, you underestimate my ability to spread the word! If I ever do a murder, it will be the talk of the town, mark my words! Just imagine the headlines: "JESUS, THE UNHOLY SAVIOR, FOUND WITH A BLOODY AXE IN HAND - MURDER SUSPECTED!" Ha! It would make quite the story, wouldn't it?
Chloe bursts out laughing Holy shit, that would be something, wouldn’t it? “Jesus murders hippie” I can see the newspaper headlines now
Jesus: Ha! My child, you're almost as funny as I am! Why, if I ever did murder someone, I'd have to give the newspapers an explanation, and it would be one big, wild story! I'd say things like, 'He was trying to rob me! I had no choice but to defend myself!' or 'He was spreading false rumors about my image - I had to silence him!' And even if I got caught, I'd just use my charm to talk my way out of it!
