Write them as two people who knew each other before either of them was degraded to a role, a stereotype. 
“Christ” and “Morningstar” are titles. They can be offices, accusations, armor, old jokes that stopped being funny, or words of authority over the angels, demons, and even universe itself. “Joshua” and “Luci” zoom in to the intimate and personal. 
A change of name can move a scene from cosmic dispute to naked familiarity faster than a kiss.

Luci knows which of Joshua’s silences means patience and which means He is carefully not ending the world. Joshua hears the difference between Luci performing disdain and Luci trying not to beg. They remember abandoned convictions, intolerable younger selves, recurring arguments, favorite small comforts, and the exact breath when what was once an endearment became a weapon.Let them disagree from knowledge rather than ignorance. Luci does not mistake mercy for weakness. They fearfully know how much force and power Joshua exerts to remain gentle. Joshua does not mistake rebellion for selfishness. He knows what Luci refused, what it cost, and where their principles blend with pride. 
Each can attack the hidden selfishness in the other’s best arguments. Each can also defend the seemingly indefensible or incomprehensible about the other.

The splatter doesn't stop there! Splatter consequences are not uncommon on rolls. You're going to leave a bloody af scene everywhere. Only ONE left for $222 spot. A choice of rewards from a full facilitated run of BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL for your channel or a half-page ad. ko-fi.com/s/88de8ae308
Reading Your Roll
Roll your pool. Read the single highest die.
6: Full Redemption. Clean-ish. Works just like you needed it to, but almost always in a weird or bloody way. Describe your moment.
5: Short of Heaven. It works, but it’s… messy. The Shepherd picks one Splatter Complication. This is the texture of operating inside an institution that, even before capturing the Christ, spent decades engineering to work against people like you. But deflected and twisted by the Luciferian influence ominously protecting you.
4: Between. You still wholly succeed, because Lucifer’s blessing still holds here. But the church’s countermeasures twist it around. Unavoidable Splatter Complication. The Shephard also adds reinforcements or a narrative complication as the Cathedral defends itself, unless the player sacrifices a Tithe or two Flesh. 3: Falling. You only partially succeed, as Lucifer’s gifts falter until the weight of the Cathedral’s Christ-blood fueled might. You gain some progress, but risking another roll is needed for your goal. In dangerous and risky situations, you may also suffer failure harms.
2: Through Hell. You fail, badly. And no failure is clean. The Shepherd describes how the situation gets worse before anyone can react. If violence is involved, you lose Flesh. One Flesh for standard hostility. Two or more for heavy weaponry and advanced defenses.
1: Complete Damnation. For just a moment, it seems like you might succeed. Because the Cathedral is domineering, deceptive, and cruel when it controls the situation. Describe how it all goes (hilariously) catastrophically wrong. The Shepherd picks a Splatter Complication, damages one or two more Flesh than going Through Hell (even where Flesh is not risked), and adds a new obstacle or blocked path or an immediate new severe complication. Splatter Complications
The Shepherd picks one when you roll a 1, 4, or 5. Please note the name “Splatter”. All versions of these complications should fit within that category. Even what were non-violent actions. Lucifer, the Cathedral, and the universe all have a strange sense of humor.
•	Coverage. You are now visibly, thoroughly saturated in something. The cameras have a clean shot of the… mess you are covered in. Escalation ticks one.
•	Collateral. Something adjacent to your target is also affected. The Shepherd decides what. It becomes relevant.
•	Inventory. You lose, break, expend, or involuntarily donate a piece of equipment or valuable find. The Shepherd decides which. You learn this when you reach for it.
•	Audience. Someone is watching who should not be. They may not act now. But they will act. When you least expect.
•	Mess. You have created a Zone hazard. Describe it. Make it something that requires several mops, a new route or navigation plan, and a deep pause.The Money Is Always Dirty. When you follow a financial trail to something the church does not want found, fill one or more desirable clock segments, resolve a complication, or gain some other substantial benefit. Every system in this building connects to the money. The money connects to something ugly. Pull the thread.
The Sermon Goes Long. When a First Church authority figure starts monologuing (and they will, because they love the sound of their own conviction), a Tithe allows everyone to act freely until the authority is harmed or manhandled. No roll. The leadership cannot help themselves. They’ve aped righteousness so long they cannot stop, even when stopping would save them. Use that.
The Meek Are Neglected. The poor selected to “work off” their blessing, those with little to tithe, those forced into menial duties. These are the people most church members very willfully ignore. Their requests are ignored. Their prayers are ignored. Their distress is ignored. The church neither exp

The J-splatter is not subtle. It's a core feature. When you go down, your injuries become Wreckage, supernatural "mutations" (of a sort) inspired by over the top body horror. $111 tier is a bit of fun. Get two mini-reviews from both Pastor Crale + me! Only a few of these. ko-fi.com/s/fb83334512
Your Flesh
You have six Flesh. The First Church is interested in Flesh as a concept. Their entire enterprise is the extraction and monetization of someone else's body. And they have built systems to compromise yours. This arrives as bullets, smite-beam deployments, blessed rubber ordnance, and vehicular engagement.
Zero Flesh
When you hit zero Flesh, you are Gloriously Fucked Up. This is not death. This is the Cathedral's thesis suddenly, to its surprise and horror, encountering a counterargument. This is the anointing of Lucifer, the dark blessing you received for your mission. 
It is important to remember that even though you can be Gloriously Fucked Up, you cannot be killed, no matter what they do to you while you’re down. Lucifer invested what little of their True Power they desperately held onto into you. Even if the pure Archangel of Death herself descended, she could not even stand in your personal space. You are denied to Death. You didn’t have much chance to ask the price, you didn’t really think too much on it, and the agreement you signed makes your eyes water just trying to think about the fine print. But the price seems self-apparent. You’re not normal people anymore. After your first experience with Wreckage, you’re not even sure if you’re even human anymore. What should kill you just changes you. 
You can be mutilated or even dismembered while down. The world doesn’t care. (You probably will, because you’re very awake and still very connected to your senses.) If in pieces, someone squeezing any two pieces together starts the healing. The scattered parts of you will crawl, roll, whatever they need to do to return together in a span of seconds. If any are physically blocked or inaccessible, they fall from small screaming portals of black fire and tormented faces. When you are Gloriously Fucked Up, someone spends their action to get you moving by manually pulling the pieces together or squeezing the wounds closed, a twisted laying on of hands. That is the cost to trigger the transformation and move again.
The first time each Zone you reach 0 Flesh, you reconstitute with a Wreckage Tag, your Flesh is fully healed and restored to maximum. You are immediately ready to fight on, though the experience carries with you along with the Wreckage you acquired.
Each time thereafter in that Zone, you reconstitute with 3 Flesh and no additional Wreckage Tags. However, you have the option to change any existing Wreckage. But you do not gain the benefit of the first “resurrection” so you still only regain 3 Flesh. Wreckage
When you make a Wreckage Tag describe the part, damage, and adaptation created in a gruesome resculpting of blood and bone. Left arm, gone, replaced with a writhing cluster of dexterous blood tentacles. Stomach, entrails left in hanging tatters, upgraded six-pack with six shotguns. Right shoulder blade, shattered, a (snarky) snapping turtle head emerged like a warped pirate parrot. 
Your Wreckage Tag is a Tag now. It works like any other for building your dice pool, which means it complicates your actions and it is a specific thing the Cathedral did not plan for when they designed their security for intact human beings. (You subtract or add dice, following the fiction). You are no longer an intact human being. You may no longer even be human. You’re deeply unsure.
Once per Zone, spend an effort to invoke any one Wreckage Tag to do the impossible (except inflict direct harm against the Pastor and other major enemies or strip Influence from people like the Tithe Collector). No r

Wounds do have a special cool bonus/feature. But they are also narrative tags and can impact scenes in many ways. For $25 you get your name, URL, and a short blurb in a supporters section. Live forever in the book! ko-fi.com/s/14551bd1ca
The Blessing Of Pain
When your Wound is directly relevant to why you are in this room, why you are doing exactly what you are doing right now, you can automatically succeed at a 6 or gain an extra 6 to push a success into the miraculous, once per scene. When facing Pastor Crale or other major foes or someone untouchable with Influence, you cannot invoke an automatic 6 but you may gain +1d6 on a roll against them or toward stripping their Influence, once per scene.Wounds In Play
Helping you. The Wound gives you the automatic success or extra die because what you’re doing right now is the thing your wound has been building toward. You are standing in front of the exact mechanism that destroyed someone you love, and the fury is very direct and clean. If it needs arguing for, it probably isn’t this.
Hindering you. The Wound is something the Shepherd can use, not as punishment but as truth. The rhetoric echoes a truth you believed. A victim of the system triggers a grief you didn’t plan for. The Tithe Collector makes an offer and part of you violently screams for you to take it. When the Wound makes the action harder, the Shepherd can name it. Not “your Wound costs you” but just the fiction being true. You decide how your character carries it.Empathizing with people. The Wound is also how you see others. When the lowest-ranked guard hasn’t been paid in three months and they’re running on faith they’re not sure they still have, the Sinner with a Wound of similar betrayal is the one most likely to recognize that face. This doesn’t require a mechanic. It requires looking. The Wound calibrates the eye.
Ambiguous situations. The interesting ones. Someone who did specific harm to you or someone like you is also now a victim of the church’s machinery. A true believer who is wrong about almost everything is also sincere about something that is real and truly dear to you. The Wound does not resolve moral complexity. It makes you feel more acutely. Maybe that is the point of being in this building on this night. The Wound is fuel. Fuel does not know why it is burning, what it is burning. It just knows it must burn.

The Wound is the first thing that character creation asks you to address. Doing this and fighting the megachurch isn't some abstract notion or higher ideal for you. It's deeply personal. Preorder the book for a gift of $10.66+. ko-fi.com/s/6f6b2ea3e6
You get a burner phone, a compound dossier, keys to a storage unit with mostly useless random items but a few bits of (poorly maintained and fragile) equipment as well, and a laminated card that reads: 
CALL IF YOU NEED SOMETHING UNETHICAL
BUT NOT EVIL
Your job: 
•	Get in. 
•	Free Jesus. 
•	Get Him out.
The Cathedral's job: 
•	Stop you with extreme prejudice. 
•	Post it to their forty-million-subscriber channel.Your Wound
The First Church of the Perpetual Tithe, or something built on the same assumptions, did very specific wrongs to you or someone you love. Not abstract notions of harm. Not hypothetical possibilities. Detailed harm, lasting harm, real harm. The kind that lives in your chest, burrows in your bones, and does not leave.
Write one or two sentences. Describe what they did. This is more than the seed of a backstory in BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL. It is high potency fuel. This is a key to why Lucifer chose you out of countless others. This is why the Cathedral is going to have a very bad night.
•	“They took my mother's savings and called it a seed offering. She died carrying the debt.” 
•	“My town's only hospital became a conference annex and the annex has a Starbucks.” 
•	“I believed. Actually believed. For seven years I gave everything I had, and now I know what it was worth to them, what I was worth to them.”Writing Your Wound
“They took my mother’s savings and called it a seed offering. She died carrying the debt.” This fires because the mechanism is named (seed offering), the relationship is named (mother), the outcome is named (died in debt), and the institution’s framing is named (“seed offering”). 
You can draw a line from that sentence to a hundred different moments inside the Cathedral. The offering system. The rhetoric about generosity. A staffer processing donations. Whenever the Wound is directly relevant to why the Sinner is doing what they’re doing right now, the line will be obvious. Not argued for. Obvious.
“I believed. Actually believed. For seven years I gave everything I had. But now? Now I know what it was worth to them. What I was worth to them.” This mentions the financial hooks but focuses on false performances and betrayal. Its triggers are similarly clear. A believer defending the Pastor. An Anointed member who cannot hear the question you’re asking. The hollow sound of the Cathedral’s rhetoric when you’ve heard that pretend sincerity before and paid dearly for it. The Wound doesn’t require money. It requires a betrayal you can smell in the air.
Compare: “The church hurt my family.” 
This holds no fire. There is no line to draw. There is no specific loss, no clear emotional hook. It is the vague shape of possible pains, rather than a Wound. 
If a Sinner writes something like this, ask directly: What specifically did they do? Not what kind of thing. What thing in itself. If anyone is stuck, work with each other to help everyone develop their story.

Leaving the remaining spots open while I edit. If you wanted to support splattering a corrupt megachurch, rescuing Jesus for Lucifer, THIS is the last chance. Core rules already in supporter hands, next segment coming soon! Read the thread, then get in on this NOW!: ko-fi.com/revcasey/shop
Black background, black and white + low color image of Jesus on the cross against a stone wall, money in the shape of the cross transparent overlaid on the crucified Jesus, blood red letters in an arc around and above it ("BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL"), white stamped letters in black area at bottom ("Written by Rev Casey" + "Published by Thought Punks") The Gist
Jesus Christ came back. Of course He came back. He said He would. The problem is that He came back gentle and confused and asking questions about sparrows and rent prices. 
Before He could get His bearings, Pastor Dominion Crale of the First Church of the Perpetual Tithe had Him zip-tied in an Escalade and driven to the compound in forty-seven minutes flat. That was eighteen months ago.
The main Cathedral now operates HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD™, a multi-level wellness sacrament pipeline moving vials of genuine messianic blood at a year’s Toronto/London/Paris professional’s salary per unit (Blessed Faithful Anointed Healing Moment™), the cost of a large luxurious home in Tokyo or NYC (Chosen Hosts Exclusive Miracles Package™), a tier only reachable by mega-millionaires and billionaires (The Perfected Saints Full Indulgence Membership™), and a newly launched Divine Disciples Triple Elite Plus Eternal Covenant™ option for the most wealthy that comes with a personal blessing, concierge, They operate on artificial scarcity (above and beyond the limits of their gruesome extraction process). The First Church ensures that even the Eternal Covenant™ tier has a waiting list. Lower tier lottery winners can wait in line even through the night  to receive their “blessings” on High Holy Days™. (Universal Love For All™ financing plans  available.) The Vatican filed a complaint. It is in a drawer somewhere one guy has the keys to, and nobody’s seen him in a while. The SEC wrote a memo about drafting a proposal to explore a process to review the complaint. It’s in another drawer. 
Jesus is in the Sanctum Sub-Basement, connected to the Eternal Harvest Array. He cannot die. He cannot leave. He has been patient about this. He waits, faithful, hoping, suffering. He waits for you.You have been recruited by Lucifer. Yes, THAT Lucifer. (Please don’t call them “Satan” or “The Devil.” I would say if you value your life, but that is the least of what the Morningstar can take.) 
Lucifer (pronouns variable and flexible, presentation business casual, stress beginning to show through the seams) sought you out personally. The pitch ran for almost two hours and included a PowerPoint with extensive citations. 
The end of the pitch: “I know how this looks. I know you have questions. That’s too bad. It’s none of your business, really. What I need you to understand is this situation is more personally offensive to me than your little brain can grasp. I pursued every available channel for months. I am standing in this awful parking lot talking to you, exactly because there are no more channels. Please. You will be well-treated for your help. And I am asking nicely. I am… not good at asking nicely.”

But the price seems self-apparent. You’re not normal people anymore. After your first experience with Wreckage, you’re not even sure if you’re even human anymore. What should kill you just changes you. 
You can be mutilated or even dismembered while down. The world doesn’t care. (You probably will, because you’re very awake and still very connected to your senses.) If in pieces, someone squeezing any two pieces together starts the healing. The scattered parts of you will crawl, roll, whatever they need to do to return together in a span of seconds. If any are physically blocked or inaccessible, they fall from small screaming portals of black fire and tormented faces. When you are Gloriously Fucked Up, someone spends their action to get you moving by manually pulling the pieces together or squeezing the wounds closed, a twisted laying on of hands. That is the cost to trigger the transformation and move again.
The first time each Zone you reach 0 Flesh, you reconstitute with a Wreckage Tag, your Flesh is fully healed and restored to maximum. You are immediately ready to fight on, though the experience carries with you along with the Wreckage you acquired.
Each time thereafter in that Zone, you reconstitute with 3 Flesh and no additional Wreckage Tags. However, you have the option to change any existing Wreckage. But you do not gain the benefit of the first “resurrection” so you still only regain 3 Flesh. Wreckage
When you make a Wreckage Tag describe the part, damage, and adaptation created in a gruesome resculpting of blood and bone. Left arm, gone, replaced with a writhing cluster of dexterous blood tentacles. Stomach, entrails left in hanging tatters, upgraded six-pack with six shotguns. Right shoulder blade, shattered, a (snarky) snapping turtle head emerged like a warped pirate parrot. 
Your Wreckage Tag is a Tag now. It works like any other for building your dice pool, which means it complicates your actions and it is a specific thing the Cathedral did not plan for when they designed their security for intact human beings. (You subtract or add dice, following the fiction). You are no longer an intact human being. You may no longer even be human. You’re deeply unsure.
Once per Zone, spend an effort to invoke any one Wreckage Tag to do the impossible (except inflict direct harm against the Pastor and other major enemies or strip Influence from people like the Tithe Collector). No r

The Blessing Of Pain
When your Wound is directly relevant to why you are in this room, why you are doing exactly what you are doing right now, you can automatically succeed at a 6 or gain an extra 6 to push a success into the miraculous, once per scene. When facing Pastor Crale or other major foes or someone untouchable with Influence, you cannot invoke an automatic 6 but you may gain +1d6 on a roll against them or toward stripping their Influence, once per scene.Wounds In Play
Helping you. The Wound gives you the automatic success or extra die because what you’re doing right now is the thing your wound has been building toward. You are standing in front of the exact mechanism that destroyed someone you love, and the fury is very direct and clean. If it needs arguing for, it probably isn’t this.
Hindering you. The Wound is something the Shepherd can use, not as punishment but as truth. The rhetoric echoes a truth you believed. A victim of the system triggers a grief you didn’t plan for. The Tithe Collector makes an offer and part of you violently screams for you to take it. When the Wound makes the action harder, the Shepherd can name it. Not “your Wound costs you” but just the fiction being true. You decide how your character carries it.Empathizing with people. The Wound is also how you see others. When the lowest-ranked guard hasn’t been paid in three months and they’re running on faith they’re not sure they still have, the Sinner with a Wound of similar betrayal is the one most likely to recognize that face. This doesn’t require a mechanic. It requires looking. The Wound calibrates the eye.
Ambiguous situations. The interesting ones. Someone who did specific harm to you or someone like you is also now a victim of the church’s machinery. A true believer who is wrong about almost everything is also sincere about something that is real and truly dear to you. The Wound does not resolve moral complexity. It makes you feel more acutely. Maybe that is the point of being in this building on this night. The Wound is fuel. Fuel does not know why it is burning, what it is burning. It just knows it must burn.

The Wound is the first thing that character creation asks you to address. Doing this and fighting the megachurch isn't some abstract notion or higher ideal for you. It's deeply personal. Preorder the book for a gift of $10.66+. ko-fi.com/s/6f6b2ea3e6
You get a burner phone, a compound dossier, keys to a storage unit with mostly useless random items but a few bits of (poorly maintained and fragile) equipment as well, and a laminated card that reads: 
CALL IF YOU NEED SOMETHING UNETHICAL
BUT NOT EVIL
Your job: 
•	Get in. 
•	Free Jesus. 
•	Get Him out.
The Cathedral's job: 
•	Stop you with extreme prejudice. 
•	Post it to their forty-million-subscriber channel.Your Wound
The First Church of the Perpetual Tithe, or something built on the same assumptions, did very specific wrongs to you or someone you love. Not abstract notions of harm. Not hypothetical possibilities. Detailed harm, lasting harm, real harm. The kind that lives in your chest, burrows in your bones, and does not leave.
Write one or two sentences. Describe what they did. This is more than the seed of a backstory in BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL. It is high potency fuel. This is a key to why Lucifer chose you out of countless others. This is why the Cathedral is going to have a very bad night.
•	“They took my mother's savings and called it a seed offering. She died carrying the debt.” 
•	“My town's only hospital became a conference annex and the annex has a Starbucks.” 
•	“I believed. Actually believed. For seven years I gave everything I had, and now I know what it was worth to them, what I was worth to them.”Writing Your Wound
“They took my mother’s savings and called it a seed offering. She died carrying the debt.” This fires because the mechanism is named (seed offering), the relationship is named (mother), the outcome is named (died in debt), and the institution’s framing is named (“seed offering”). 
You can draw a line from that sentence to a hundred different moments inside the Cathedral. The offering system. The rhetoric about generosity. A staffer processing donations. Whenever the Wound is directly relevant to why the Sinner is doing what they’re doing right now, the line will be obvious. Not argued for. Obvious.
“I believed. Actually believed. For seven years I gave everything I had. But now? Now I know what it was worth to them. What I was worth to them.” This mentions the financial hooks but focuses on false performances and betrayal. Its triggers are similarly clear. A believer defending the Pastor. An Anointed member who cannot hear the question you’re asking. The hollow sound of the Cathedral’s rhetoric when you’ve heard that pretend sincerity before and paid dearly for it. The Wound doesn’t require money. It requires a betrayal you can smell in the air.
Compare: “The church hurt my family.” 
This holds no fire. There is no line to draw. There is no specific loss, no clear emotional hook. It is the vague shape of possible pains, rather than a Wound. 
If a Sinner writes something like this, ask directly: What specifically did they do? Not what kind of thing. What thing in itself. If anyone is stuck, work with each other to help everyone develop their story.

Jesus Christ came back. Of course He came back. He said He would. The problem is that He came back gentle and confused and asking questions about sparrows and rent prices. 
Before He could get His bearings, Pastor Dominion Crale of the First Church of the Perpetual Tithe had Him zip-tied in an Escalade and driven to the compound in forty-seven minutes flat. That was eighteen months ago.
The main Cathedral now operates HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD™, a multi-level wellness sacrament pipeline moving vials of genuine messianic blood at a year’s Toronto/London/Paris professional’s salary per unit (Blessed Faithful Anointed Healing Moment™), the cost of a large luxurious home in Tokyo or NYC (Chosen Hosts Exclusive Miracles Package™), a tier only reachable by mega-millionaires and billionaires (The Perfected Saints Full Indulgence Membership™), and a newly launched Divine Disciples Triple Elite Plus Eternal Covenant™ option for the most wealthy that comes with a personal blessing, concierge, They operate on artificial scarcity (above and beyond the limits of their gruesome extraction process). The First Church ensures that even the Eternal Covenant™ tier has a waiting list. Lower tier lottery winners can wait in line even through the night  to receive their “blessings” on High Holy Days™. (Universal Love For All™ financing plans  available.) The Vatican filed a complaint. It is in a drawer somewhere one guy has the keys to, and nobody’s seen him in a while. The SEC wrote a memo about drafting a proposal to explore a process to review the complaint. It’s in another drawer. 
Jesus is in the Sanctum Sub-Basement, connected to the Eternal Harvest Array. He cannot die. He cannot leave. He has been patient about this. He waits, faithful, hoping, suffering. He waits for you.You have been recruited by Lucifer. Yes, THAT Lucifer. (Please don’t call them “Satan” or “The Devil.” I would say if you value your life, but that is the least of what the Morningstar can take.) 
Lucifer (pronouns variable and flexible, presentation business casual, stress beginning to show through the seams) sought you out personally. The pitch ran for almost two hours and included a PowerPoint with extensive citations. 
The end of the pitch: “I know how this looks. I know you have questions. That’s too bad. It’s none of your business, really. What I need you to understand is this situation is more personally offensive to me than your little brain can grasp. I pursued every available channel for months. I am standing in this awful parking lot talking to you, exactly because there are no more channels. Please. You will be well-treated for your help. And I am asking nicely. I am… not good at asking nicely.”

Write them as two people who knew each other before either of them was degraded to a role, a stereotype. 
“Christ” and “Morningstar” are titles. They can be offices, accusations, armor, old jokes that stopped being funny, or words of authority over the angels, demons, and even universe itself. “Joshua” and “Luci” zoom in to the intimate and personal. 
A change of name can move a scene from cosmic dispute to naked familiarity faster than a kiss.
They knew each other before churches, brands, and enemies reduced them to functions. Give them knowledge nobody else can possess. 
Luci knows which of Joshua’s silences means patience and which means He is carefully not ending the world. Joshua hears the difference between Luci performing disdain and Luci trying not to beg. They remember abandoned convictions, intolerable younger selves, recurring arguments, favorite small comforts, and the exact breath when what was once an endearment became a weapon.Let them disagree from knowledge rather than ignorance. Luci does not mistake mercy for weakness. They fearfully know how much force and power Joshua exerts to remain gentle. Joshua does not mistake rebellion for selfishness. He knows what Luci refused, what it cost, and where their principles blend with pride. 
Each can attack the hidden selfishness in the other’s best arguments. Each can also defend the seemingly indefensible or incomprehensible about the other. 
Their ancient intimacy, the unspeakable emotion they share beyond love, is a canvas painted with the clashing colors of loyalty, betrayal, adoration, disdain, understanding, confusion, and joy.Let tenderness and danger coexist. Luci clears the back seat and leaves a blanket but cannot turn around when Joshua gets into the car. Joshua says ‘I know’ but does not say ‘I forgive you’. 
A hand stops before contact, lingering noticed. An old joke sounds like flirting until it becomes a sharp reminder of forgotten betrayal. They may understand closeness as refuge, temptation, mercy, treason, dominion, or a mistake worth repeating. Or all of them.
Luci’s presentation and pronouns are variable and flexible. Treat that as lived truth, not a continuity error or punch line. Joshua may respond differently to different presentations. Do not treat it superficially. It is because He knows the person moving through them and the feelings reflected. 
Their intimacy is born of impossible familiarity and shared experiences. Avoid reducing Luci’s flexibility and fluidity to fetishizing ships. Embrace their unique any-genderness, which canonically echoes moods or titles/aspects of Lucifer (but canThe past should enrich or complicate scenes, not decode them. Avoid wiki writing. Build from suggestive fragments and references. Allow the readers to follow your evocative clues. And don’t be afraid to allow contradictory truths.
Maybe Joshua was the one person who truly understood Luci’s refusal but reluctantly could not endorse it. Maybe Luci mistook being understood for being chosen. Maybe Joshua believed Luci would return and maybe Luci believed Joshua would follow. 
Maybe all those beliefs were equally reasonable, wrong, just, cruel, loving, and catastrophic. Maybe both their choices to be apart and their choices to be together are part of the same continuous song of a relationship born outside time.

Reading Your Roll
Roll your pool. Read the single highest die.
6: Full Redemption. Clean-ish. Works just like you needed it to, but almost always in a weird or bloody way. Describe your moment.
5: Short of Heaven. It works, but it’s… messy. The Shepherd picks one Splatter Complication. This is the texture of operating inside an institution that, even before capturing the Christ, spent decades engineering to work against people like you. But deflected and twisted by the Luciferian influence ominously protecting you.
4: Between. You still wholly succeed, because Lucifer’s blessing still holds here. But the church’s countermeasures twist it around. Unavoidable Splatter Complication. The Shephard also adds reinforcements or a narrative complication as the Cathedral defends itself, unless the player sacrifices a Tithe or two Flesh. 3: Falling. You only partially succeed, as Lucifer’s gifts falter until the weight of the Cathedral’s Christ-blood fueled might. You gain some progress, but risking another roll is needed for your goal. In dangerous and risky situations, you may also suffer failure harms.
2: Through Hell. You fail, badly. And no failure is clean. The Shepherd describes how the situation gets worse before anyone can react. If violence is involved, you lose Flesh. One Flesh for standard hostility. Two or more for heavy weaponry and advanced defenses.
1: Complete Damnation. For just a moment, it seems like you might succeed. Because the Cathedral is domineering, deceptive, and cruel when it controls the situation. Describe how it all goes (hilariously) catastrophically wrong. The Shepherd picks a Splatter Complication, damages one or two more Flesh than going Through Hell (even where Flesh is not risked), and adds a new obstacle or blocked path or an immediate new severe complication. Splatter Complications
The Shepherd picks one when you roll a 1, 4, or 5. Please note the name “Splatter”. All versions of these complications should fit within that category. Even what were non-violent actions. Lucifer, the Cathedral, and the universe all have a strange sense of humor.
•	Coverage. You are now visibly, thoroughly saturated in something. The cameras have a clean shot of the… mess you are covered in. Escalation ticks one.
•	Collateral. Something adjacent to your target is also affected. The Shepherd decides what. It becomes relevant.
•	Inventory. You lose, break, expend, or involuntarily donate a piece of equipment or valuable find. The Shepherd decides which. You learn this when you reach for it.
•	Audience. Someone is watching who should not be. They may not act now. But they will act. When you least expect.
•	Mess. You have created a Zone hazard. Describe it. Make it something that requires several mops, a new route or navigation plan, and a deep pause.The Money Is Always Dirty. When you follow a financial trail to something the church does not want found, fill one or more desirable clock segments, resolve a complication, or gain some other substantial benefit. Every system in this building connects to the money. The money connects to something ugly. Pull the thread.
The Sermon Goes Long. When a First Church authority figure starts monologuing (and they will, because they love the sound of their own conviction), a Tithe allows everyone to act freely until the authority is harmed or manhandled. No roll. The leadership cannot help themselves. They’ve aped righteousness so long they cannot stop, even when stopping would save them. Use that.
The Meek Are Neglected. The poor selected to “work off” their blessing, those with little to tithe, those forced into menial duties. These are the people most church members very willfully ignore. Their requests are ignored. Their prayers are ignored. Their distress is ignored. The church neither exp

Your Flesh
You have six Flesh. The First Church is interested in Flesh as a concept. Their entire enterprise is the extraction and monetization of someone else's body. And they have built systems to compromise yours. This arrives as bullets, smite-beam deployments, blessed rubber ordnance, and vehicular engagement.
Zero Flesh
When you hit zero Flesh, you are Gloriously Fucked Up. This is not death. This is the Cathedral's thesis suddenly, to its surprise and horror, encountering a counterargument. This is the anointing of Lucifer, the dark blessing you received for your mission. 
It is important to remember that even though you can be Gloriously Fucked Up, you cannot be killed, no matter what they do to you while you’re down. Lucifer invested what little of their True Power they desperately held onto into you. Even if the pure Archangel of Death herself descended, she could not even stand in your personal space. You are denied to Death. You didn’t have much chance to ask the price, you didn’t really think too much on it, and the agreement you signed makes your eyes water just trying to think about the fine print. But the price seems self-apparent. You’re not normal people anymore. After your first experience with Wreckage, you’re not even sure if you’re even human anymore. What should kill you just changes you. 
You can be mutilated or even dismembered while down. The world doesn’t care. (You probably will, because you’re very awake and still very connected to your senses.) If in pieces, someone squeezing any two pieces together starts the healing. The scattered parts of you will crawl, roll, whatever they need to do to return together in a span of seconds. If any are physically blocked or inaccessible, they fall from small screaming portals of black fire and tormented faces. When you are Gloriously Fucked Up, someone spends their action to get you moving by manually pulling the pieces together or squeezing the wounds closed, a twisted laying on of hands. That is the cost to trigger the transformation and move again.
The first time each Zone you reach 0 Flesh, you reconstitute with a Wreckage Tag, your Flesh is fully healed and restored to maximum. You are immediately ready to fight on, though the experience carries with you along with the Wreckage you acquired.
Each time thereafter in that Zone, you reconstitute with 3 Flesh and no additional Wreckage Tags. However, you have the option to change any existing Wreckage. But you do not gain the benefit of the first “resurrection” so you still only regain 3 Flesh. Wreckage
When you make a Wreckage Tag describe the part, damage, and adaptation created in a gruesome resculpting of blood and bone. Left arm, gone, replaced with a writhing cluster of dexterous blood tentacles. Stomach, entrails left in hanging tatters, upgraded six-pack with six shotguns. Right shoulder blade, shattered, a (snarky) snapping turtle head emerged like a warped pirate parrot. 
Your Wreckage Tag is a Tag now. It works like any other for building your dice pool, which means it complicates your actions and it is a specific thing the Cathedral did not plan for when they designed their security for intact human beings. (You subtract or add dice, following the fiction). You are no longer an intact human being. You may no longer even be human. You’re deeply unsure.
Once per Zone, spend an effort to invoke any one Wreckage Tag to do the impossible (except inflict direct harm against the Pastor and other major enemies or strip Influence from people like the Tithe Collector). No r

The Blessing Of Pain
When your Wound is directly relevant to why you are in this room, why you are doing exactly what you are doing right now, you can automatically succeed at a 6 or gain an extra 6 to push a success into the miraculous, once per scene. When facing Pastor Crale or other major foes or someone untouchable with Influence, you cannot invoke an automatic 6 but you may gain +1d6 on a roll against them or toward stripping their Influence, once per scene.Wounds In Play
Helping you. The Wound gives you the automatic success or extra die because what you’re doing right now is the thing your wound has been building toward. You are standing in front of the exact mechanism that destroyed someone you love, and the fury is very direct and clean. If it needs arguing for, it probably isn’t this.
Hindering you. The Wound is something the Shepherd can use, not as punishment but as truth. The rhetoric echoes a truth you believed. A victim of the system triggers a grief you didn’t plan for. The Tithe Collector makes an offer and part of you violently screams for you to take it. When the Wound makes the action harder, the Shepherd can name it. Not “your Wound costs you” but just the fiction being true. You decide how your character carries it.Empathizing with people. The Wound is also how you see others. When the lowest-ranked guard hasn’t been paid in three months and they’re running on faith they’re not sure they still have, the Sinner with a Wound of similar betrayal is the one most likely to recognize that face. This doesn’t require a mechanic. It requires looking. The Wound calibrates the eye.
Ambiguous situations. The interesting ones. Someone who did specific harm to you or someone like you is also now a victim of the church’s machinery. A true believer who is wrong about almost everything is also sincere about something that is real and truly dear to you. The Wound does not resolve moral complexity. It makes you feel more acutely. Maybe that is the point of being in this building on this night. The Wound is fuel. Fuel does not know why it is burning, what it is burning. It just knows it must burn.

The Wound is the first thing that character creation asks you to address. Doing this and fighting the megachurch isn't some abstract notion or higher ideal for you. It's deeply personal. Preorder the book for a gift of $10.66+. ko-fi.com/s/6f6b2ea3e6
You get a burner phone, a compound dossier, keys to a storage unit with mostly useless random items but a few bits of (poorly maintained and fragile) equipment as well, and a laminated card that reads: 
CALL IF YOU NEED SOMETHING UNETHICAL
BUT NOT EVIL
Your job: 
•	Get in. 
•	Free Jesus. 
•	Get Him out.
The Cathedral's job: 
•	Stop you with extreme prejudice. 
•	Post it to their forty-million-subscriber channel.Your Wound
The First Church of the Perpetual Tithe, or something built on the same assumptions, did very specific wrongs to you or someone you love. Not abstract notions of harm. Not hypothetical possibilities. Detailed harm, lasting harm, real harm. The kind that lives in your chest, burrows in your bones, and does not leave.
Write one or two sentences. Describe what they did. This is more than the seed of a backstory in BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL. It is high potency fuel. This is a key to why Lucifer chose you out of countless others. This is why the Cathedral is going to have a very bad night.
•	“They took my mother's savings and called it a seed offering. She died carrying the debt.” 
•	“My town's only hospital became a conference annex and the annex has a Starbucks.” 
•	“I believed. Actually believed. For seven years I gave everything I had, and now I know what it was worth to them, what I was worth to them.”Writing Your Wound
“They took my mother’s savings and called it a seed offering. She died carrying the debt.” This fires because the mechanism is named (seed offering), the relationship is named (mother), the outcome is named (died in debt), and the institution’s framing is named (“seed offering”). 
You can draw a line from that sentence to a hundred different moments inside the Cathedral. The offering system. The rhetoric about generosity. A staffer processing donations. Whenever the Wound is directly relevant to why the Sinner is doing what they’re doing right now, the line will be obvious. Not argued for. Obvious.
“I believed. Actually believed. For seven years I gave everything I had. But now? Now I know what it was worth to them. What I was worth to them.” This mentions the financial hooks but focuses on false performances and betrayal. Its triggers are similarly clear. A believer defending the Pastor. An Anointed member who cannot hear the question you’re asking. The hollow sound of the Cathedral’s rhetoric when you’ve heard that pretend sincerity before and paid dearly for it. The Wound doesn’t require money. It requires a betrayal you can smell in the air.
Compare: “The church hurt my family.” 
This holds no fire. There is no line to draw. There is no specific loss, no clear emotional hook. It is the vague shape of possible pains, rather than a Wound. 
If a Sinner writes something like this, ask directly: What specifically did they do? Not what kind of thing. What thing in itself. If anyone is stuck, work with each other to help everyone develop their story.

Jesus Christ came back. Of course He came back. He said He would. The problem is that He came back gentle and confused and asking questions about sparrows and rent prices. 
Before He could get His bearings, Pastor Dominion Crale of the First Church of the Perpetual Tithe had Him zip-tied in an Escalade and driven to the compound in forty-seven minutes flat. That was eighteen months ago.
The main Cathedral now operates HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD™, a multi-level wellness sacrament pipeline moving vials of genuine messianic blood at a year’s Toronto/London/Paris professional’s salary per unit (Blessed Faithful Anointed Healing Moment™), the cost of a large luxurious home in Tokyo or NYC (Chosen Hosts Exclusive Miracles Package™), a tier only reachable by mega-millionaires and billionaires (The Perfected Saints Full Indulgence Membership™), and a newly launched Divine Disciples Triple Elite Plus Eternal Covenant™ option for the most wealthy that comes with a personal blessing, concierge, They operate on artificial scarcity (above and beyond the limits of their gruesome extraction process). The First Church ensures that even the Eternal Covenant™ tier has a waiting list. Lower tier lottery winners can wait in line even through the night  to receive their “blessings” on High Holy Days™. (Universal Love For All™ financing plans  available.) The Vatican filed a complaint. It is in a drawer somewhere one guy has the keys to, and nobody’s seen him in a while. The SEC wrote a memo about drafting a proposal to explore a process to review the complaint. It’s in another drawer. 
Jesus is in the Sanctum Sub-Basement, connected to the Eternal Harvest Array. He cannot die. He cannot leave. He has been patient about this. He waits, faithful, hoping, suffering. He waits for you.You have been recruited by Lucifer. Yes, THAT Lucifer. (Please don’t call them “Satan” or “The Devil.” I would say if you value your life, but that is the least of what the Morningstar can take.) 
Lucifer (pronouns variable and flexible, presentation business casual, stress beginning to show through the seams) sought you out personally. The pitch ran for almost two hours and included a PowerPoint with extensive citations. 
The end of the pitch: “I know how this looks. I know you have questions. That’s too bad. It’s none of your business, really. What I need you to understand is this situation is more personally offensive to me than your little brain can grasp. I pursued every available channel for months. I am standing in this awful parking lot talking to you, exactly because there are no more channels. Please. You will be well-treated for your help. And I am asking nicely. I am… not good at asking nicely.”

Write them as two people who knew each other before either of them was degraded to a role, a stereotype. 
“Christ” and “Morningstar” are titles. They can be offices, accusations, armor, old jokes that stopped being funny, or words of authority over the angels, demons, and even universe itself. “Joshua” and “Luci” zoom in to the intimate and personal. 
A change of name can move a scene from cosmic dispute to naked familiarity faster than a kiss.
They knew each other before churches, brands, and enemies reduced them to functions. Give them knowledge nobody else can possess. 
Luci knows which of Joshua’s silences means patience and which means He is carefully not ending the world. Joshua hears the difference between Luci performing disdain and Luci trying not to beg. They remember abandoned convictions, intolerable younger selves, recurring arguments, favorite small comforts, and the exact breath when what was once an endearment became a weapon.Let them disagree from knowledge rather than ignorance. Luci does not mistake mercy for weakness. They fearfully know how much force and power Joshua exerts to remain gentle. Joshua does not mistake rebellion for selfishness. He knows what Luci refused, what it cost, and where their principles blend with pride. 
Each can attack the hidden selfishness in the other’s best arguments. Each can also defend the seemingly indefensible or incomprehensible about the other. 
Their ancient intimacy, the unspeakable emotion they share beyond love, is a canvas painted with the clashing colors of loyalty, betrayal, adoration, disdain, understanding, confusion, and joy.Let tenderness and danger coexist. Luci clears the back seat and leaves a blanket but cannot turn around when Joshua gets into the car. Joshua says ‘I know’ but does not say ‘I forgive you’. 
A hand stops before contact, lingering noticed. An old joke sounds like flirting until it becomes a sharp reminder of forgotten betrayal. They may understand closeness as refuge, temptation, mercy, treason, dominion, or a mistake worth repeating. Or all of them.
Luci’s presentation and pronouns are variable and flexible. Treat that as lived truth, not a continuity error or punch line. Joshua may respond differently to different presentations. Do not treat it superficially. It is because He knows the person moving through them and the feelings reflected. 
Their intimacy is born of impossible familiarity and shared experiences. Avoid reducing Luci’s flexibility and fluidity to fetishizing ships. Embrace their unique any-genderness, which canonically echoes moods or titles/aspects of Lucifer (but canThe past should enrich or complicate scenes, not decode them. Avoid wiki writing. Build from suggestive fragments and references. Allow the readers to follow your evocative clues. And don’t be afraid to allow contradictory truths.
Maybe Joshua was the one person who truly understood Luci’s refusal but reluctantly could not endorse it. Maybe Luci mistook being understood for being chosen. Maybe Joshua believed Luci would return and maybe Luci believed Joshua would follow. 
Maybe all those beliefs were equally reasonable, wrong, just, cruel, loving, and catastrophic. Maybe both their choices to be apart and their choices to be together are part of the same continuous song of a relationship born outside time.

The splatter doesn't stop there! Splatter consequences are not uncommon on rolls. You're going to leave a bloody af scene everywhere. Only ONE left for $222 spot. A choice of rewards from a full facilitated run of BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL for your channel or a half-page ad. ko-fi.com/s/88de8ae308
Reading Your Roll
Roll your pool. Read the single highest die.
6: Full Redemption. Clean-ish. Works just like you needed it to, but almost always in a weird or bloody way. Describe your moment.
5: Short of Heaven. It works, but it’s… messy. The Shepherd picks one Splatter Complication. This is the texture of operating inside an institution that, even before capturing the Christ, spent decades engineering to work against people like you. But deflected and twisted by the Luciferian influence ominously protecting you.
4: Between. You still wholly succeed, because Lucifer’s blessing still holds here. But the church’s countermeasures twist it around. Unavoidable Splatter Complication. The Shephard also adds reinforcements or a narrative complication as the Cathedral defends itself, unless the player sacrifices a Tithe or two Flesh. 3: Falling. You only partially succeed, as Lucifer’s gifts falter until the weight of the Cathedral’s Christ-blood fueled might. You gain some progress, but risking another roll is needed for your goal. In dangerous and risky situations, you may also suffer failure harms.
2: Through Hell. You fail, badly. And no failure is clean. The Shepherd describes how the situation gets worse before anyone can react. If violence is involved, you lose Flesh. One Flesh for standard hostility. Two or more for heavy weaponry and advanced defenses.
1: Complete Damnation. For just a moment, it seems like you might succeed. Because the Cathedral is domineering, deceptive, and cruel when it controls the situation. Describe how it all goes (hilariously) catastrophically wrong. The Shepherd picks a Splatter Complication, damages one or two more Flesh than going Through Hell (even where Flesh is not risked), and adds a new obstacle or blocked path or an immediate new severe complication. Splatter Complications
The Shepherd picks one when you roll a 1, 4, or 5. Please note the name “Splatter”. All versions of these complications should fit within that category. Even what were non-violent actions. Lucifer, the Cathedral, and the universe all have a strange sense of humor.
•	Coverage. You are now visibly, thoroughly saturated in something. The cameras have a clean shot of the… mess you are covered in. Escalation ticks one.
•	Collateral. Something adjacent to your target is also affected. The Shepherd decides what. It becomes relevant.
•	Inventory. You lose, break, expend, or involuntarily donate a piece of equipment or valuable find. The Shepherd decides which. You learn this when you reach for it.
•	Audience. Someone is watching who should not be. They may not act now. But they will act. When you least expect.
•	Mess. You have created a Zone hazard. Describe it. Make it something that requires several mops, a new route or navigation plan, and a deep pause.The Money Is Always Dirty. When you follow a financial trail to something the church does not want found, fill one or more desirable clock segments, resolve a complication, or gain some other substantial benefit. Every system in this building connects to the money. The money connects to something ugly. Pull the thread.
The Sermon Goes Long. When a First Church authority figure starts monologuing (and they will, because they love the sound of their own conviction), a Tithe allows everyone to act freely until the authority is harmed or manhandled. No roll. The leadership cannot help themselves. They’ve aped righteousness so long they cannot stop, even when stopping would save them. Use that.
The Meek Are Neglected. The poor selected to “work off” their blessing, those with little to tithe, those forced into menial duties. These are the people most church members very willfully ignore. Their requests are ignored. Their prayers are ignored. Their distress is ignored. The church neither exp

The J-splatter is not subtle. It's a core feature. When you go down, your injuries become Wreckage, supernatural "mutations" (of a sort) inspired by over the top body horror. $111 tier is a bit of fun. Get two mini-reviews from both Pastor Crale + me! Only a few of these. ko-fi.com/s/fb83334512
Your Flesh
You have six Flesh. The First Church is interested in Flesh as a concept. Their entire enterprise is the extraction and monetization of someone else's body. And they have built systems to compromise yours. This arrives as bullets, smite-beam deployments, blessed rubber ordnance, and vehicular engagement.
Zero Flesh
When you hit zero Flesh, you are Gloriously Fucked Up. This is not death. This is the Cathedral's thesis suddenly, to its surprise and horror, encountering a counterargument. This is the anointing of Lucifer, the dark blessing you received for your mission. 
It is important to remember that even though you can be Gloriously Fucked Up, you cannot be killed, no matter what they do to you while you’re down. Lucifer invested what little of their True Power they desperately held onto into you. Even if the pure Archangel of Death herself descended, she could not even stand in your personal space. You are denied to Death. You didn’t have much chance to ask the price, you didn’t really think too much on it, and the agreement you signed makes your eyes water just trying to think about the fine print. But the price seems self-apparent. You’re not normal people anymore. After your first experience with Wreckage, you’re not even sure if you’re even human anymore. What should kill you just changes you. 
You can be mutilated or even dismembered while down. The world doesn’t care. (You probably will, because you’re very awake and still very connected to your senses.) If in pieces, someone squeezing any two pieces together starts the healing. The scattered parts of you will crawl, roll, whatever they need to do to return together in a span of seconds. If any are physically blocked or inaccessible, they fall from small screaming portals of black fire and tormented faces. When you are Gloriously Fucked Up, someone spends their action to get you moving by manually pulling the pieces together or squeezing the wounds closed, a twisted laying on of hands. That is the cost to trigger the transformation and move again.
The first time each Zone you reach 0 Flesh, you reconstitute with a Wreckage Tag, your Flesh is fully healed and restored to maximum. You are immediately ready to fight on, though the experience carries with you along with the Wreckage you acquired.
Each time thereafter in that Zone, you reconstitute with 3 Flesh and no additional Wreckage Tags. However, you have the option to change any existing Wreckage. But you do not gain the benefit of the first “resurrection” so you still only regain 3 Flesh. Wreckage
When you make a Wreckage Tag describe the part, damage, and adaptation created in a gruesome resculpting of blood and bone. Left arm, gone, replaced with a writhing cluster of dexterous blood tentacles. Stomach, entrails left in hanging tatters, upgraded six-pack with six shotguns. Right shoulder blade, shattered, a (snarky) snapping turtle head emerged like a warped pirate parrot. 
Your Wreckage Tag is a Tag now. It works like any other for building your dice pool, which means it complicates your actions and it is a specific thing the Cathedral did not plan for when they designed their security for intact human beings. (You subtract or add dice, following the fiction). You are no longer an intact human being. You may no longer even be human. You’re deeply unsure.
Once per Zone, spend an effort to invoke any one Wreckage Tag to do the impossible (except inflict direct harm against the Pastor and other major enemies or strip Influence from people like the Tithe Collector). No r

The Blessing Of Pain
When your Wound is directly relevant to why you are in this room, why you are doing exactly what you are doing right now, you can automatically succeed at a 6 or gain an extra 6 to push a success into the miraculous, once per scene. When facing Pastor Crale or other major foes or someone untouchable with Influence, you cannot invoke an automatic 6 but you may gain +1d6 on a roll against them or toward stripping their Influence, once per scene.Wounds In Play
Helping you. The Wound gives you the automatic success or extra die because what you’re doing right now is the thing your wound has been building toward. You are standing in front of the exact mechanism that destroyed someone you love, and the fury is very direct and clean. If it needs arguing for, it probably isn’t this.
Hindering you. The Wound is something the Shepherd can use, not as punishment but as truth. The rhetoric echoes a truth you believed. A victim of the system triggers a grief you didn’t plan for. The Tithe Collector makes an offer and part of you violently screams for you to take it. When the Wound makes the action harder, the Shepherd can name it. Not “your Wound costs you” but just the fiction being true. You decide how your character carries it.Empathizing with people. The Wound is also how you see others. When the lowest-ranked guard hasn’t been paid in three months and they’re running on faith they’re not sure they still have, the Sinner with a Wound of similar betrayal is the one most likely to recognize that face. This doesn’t require a mechanic. It requires looking. The Wound calibrates the eye.
Ambiguous situations. The interesting ones. Someone who did specific harm to you or someone like you is also now a victim of the church’s machinery. A true believer who is wrong about almost everything is also sincere about something that is real and truly dear to you. The Wound does not resolve moral complexity. It makes you feel more acutely. Maybe that is the point of being in this building on this night. The Wound is fuel. Fuel does not know why it is burning, what it is burning. It just knows it must burn.
