[ooc warning: Religious tones, catholic terminology, all of which will probably be very inaccurate. ]

So, back home I was something of a priest, and I was thinking of offering my priestly services of confessions to those who are in need. Some of you might be asking whats a confession, or why should I bother? Well, let me tell ya! A confession is you admitting your sins and receiving penance and absolution. All that shit that’s bothering you? That bad thing you did? Or that good thing you didn’t do? Think of it as a ‘clean slate.’

And you don’t have to be religious. I think everybody deserves to get it all off their chest, ya know? Don’t need absolution? No problem, but how about an impartial, unbiased soul to unburden to? Feel guilty and need a way to feel better? I can suggest penance for that.

All I ask for in return is a donation. Not bad, right? All confessions stay in the confession booth, or inbox, however you feel comfortable doing it. I’m not here to share your secrets or judge. Anonymous is fine, just show proof that you donated.

C’mon, it’ll make ya feel good!

Amen.

relax, i'm just poking at ya. but if offering confession seems like a scam, ain't that saying something about the religion itself? you ready to make that leap?

[And because Eresh has already blown this open on him anyway...]

really don't care about people's secrets, just trying to earn some funds for the town's orphans and I don't have much else to offer in exchange. so can ya cool it on the scam thing?

[ unfortunately aoko is also the sort who loves to poke at others, but can rarely take the poking back. ]

fine, fine. if your intentions really are so good, then im sure you'll prove me wrong in no time.
as for religion itself... though it brings comfort to many, i've discovered a side to it in recent years that makes me distrustful of it. that's all there is to it.

[eyeofmyass]

see, I knew it wasn't really me you're doubting.

[Though it's totally valid for anybody that can see through his religious bumbling.]

alright, well when that day comes I'm expecting your contributions to the kids.

[bluestar]

[ --aagh! did she just get suckered into contributing? shit. ]

maybe I can help out another way?
community service?

[ just like she does with the church back home. these bastards making her contribute to her local community, goddammit. ]

[eyeofmyass]

boots to the ground kinda person. that'll come in handy. you got an idea or should I just bug ya when I need someone?

[bluestar]

just bug me.
don't worry, i won't flake out.

[ now that she's committed to it, stubborn pride will force her to see it through. ]
