 Events held at the church and the theatre allow for great cash flow to increase the IC ability to reach our lore. While we understand that the lore's endgame for everyone to be believers will never be met, our characters are so deranged that they only see positives in opportunities. Another metaphorical connection we like to make in our RP, to never give up even when things seem improbable.

	The Bathsheba Family has many facilities that they use to conduct their religious and business operations. Their main property, the Route 68 Bathsheba Church, is their largest church facility that has hosted many church services and community meetings. A sacred place to the family, this building also houses their own living quarters, podcast studio, and nightclub within its walls. Outside, you will find momentous tombstones for Scrappy (Ronnie's deceased cat) and Mumma G (Wolfgangs deceased mother) - two very important things to the family and their story.

			=== Clothing and Vehicle Lore ===
			The Bathshebas are known for two things: their cone hats that say "Dunce" and their alien dune buggies. While they look funny on the outside, both of these common items for our characters provide a large depth of story and lore to the Bathsheba family.
			[[File:Conehat.png\|alt=Bathsheba Service\|thumb\|120x120px\|Communicator Cone]]
			'''The communicator cones''' are made out of paper and foil, designed to concentrate radio frequencies so Flarg can talk to each and any Bathsheba member. While this obviously is not real, the Bathshebas believe that they cannot go without their communication devices or else they risk being left on Earth if Flarg ever calls them home.

			You will commonly see Bathshebas handing out these devices to people they hang around with since they see it as a marketing tactic for people to come to their church and to their events. While they provide lore, it also provides a unique style and look to our characters and adds on to their "cooky" aura they give off.
			[[File:Communicator.jpg\|alt=Bathsheba Service\|thumb\|260x260px\|Communicator Vehicle]]
			The Communicator Vehicles you see the Bathshebas driving are lore vehicles that also allow us to communicate with Flarg, but also has a communicator probe that blasts radio frequencies as we drive (the horn sounds like a garbled radio frequency). The Bathshebas in-character believe this truly, but all it does is pose an annoying noise to the public.

			The Communicator Vehicle has a lot of true lore in terms that it is RPly built by the Bathshebas. A communicator is used as a privilege and a religious sentiment to drive, so family members who drive it must take great care of the vehicle. Given that it is hand built, it is important to note that there are IC blueprints we have created that outlines the use of the car and what each part is named, shown off to the right.

			There are currently 23 communicator vehicles in our fleet (owned by various members in the faction) and offer homage to Flarg and the mission the family tries to pursue each and everyday. Similarly to the communicator cones, the communicator vehicles are unique looking and offer the faction a "cooky" appearance, something we try hard to maintain and act out.

			Since these puppies only reach ~140 kph, they are shelved until we have a large faction day or when we plan to just roll around interacting with the community. They aren't super practical if you are running back and forth to places but they still play a large part in our lore and ongoing story.

	But what works the best is to simply just ask for donations. People will give some here and some there, but occasionally the family hits it big with large jackpots of generous donors. To honor this, the Bathshebas have created an internal title for large donors to bare. For anyone who donates more than $250,000 in cash or equivalent assets, they receive the honorary title as Sponsoring Advisor which grants them special privileges in services and events.

 === Before Los Santos - How Flarg Emerged ===
 Scoobie and Shag, daunted and confused by the negotiations of life fell into a pit of addiction when they began to abuse various substances. Scoobie was in the midst of being onboarded to NASA's AstroPhysicX program where he would fulfill his life-long dreams to sit alongside CAPCOM while Shag was 12 credit hours away from an Aerospace Engineering Degree. With an addiction strung on dependency and shut-out mentalities, they would both lose the positions they had lined up.

 Worried and lost, they would experiment with psychedelics as an attempt to find a deeper meaning in life. One night, Scoobie and Shag sat on a hill in Jebazoonah, North Dakota. Both of them consuming acid that was laced with a concoction of cocaine and Red Devil meth. As they sat upon that hill, a voice and figure would appear in the night sky. A conversation began between Scoobie, Shag, and the man in the sky. The man would introduce himself as Flarg, the conquerer of Hailbob67. Flarg would continue to explain to Scoobie and Shag that Hailbob was the afterlife for all believers of Flarg.

The Bathsheba family centers their efforts in spreading the word of their fictitious god by engaging in public conversation, city events, and public church services.
