Greetings everyone. I am contacting you on behalf of Nicholas D. Wolfwood (user name: punisher).

He recently made a post offering his services as a priest to those who wish to confess their sins. While admirable, the payment he asks in return for such a service is unacceptable. Normally he should be chastised for such behavior, however the money he hopes to earn through his service is to be used for a noble cause: helping the orphaned children of this world. I believe this cause to be an important one and he deserves to be commended for having decided to take it on!

Unfortunately, he lacks the confidence to ask for donations, hence his resorting to selling what should be a sacred service for money. He is convinced nobody will help him, as people typically never give anything away without the expectation of getting something back.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could reassure him that the people in this world are generous. While nothing is prepared yet to receive donations, I am sure he will feel heartened to see the kindness and benevolence we are all capable of. I will personally donate some of my own money when the time comes.

Thank you for your time.

— Ereshkigal, Goddess of Death and Queen of Kûr

I've never confessed sins before, but I wouldn't be in opposition to giving to orphans. As long as someone can tell me what orphanage or if they've purchased land, some evidence, I wouldn't mind at all. Please assure Father Wolfwood there is more than just me here that would be concerned.

I dunno, I think if you're asking for money then offering a service in return isn't such a bad thing. Everybody likes to get a little something. Hell, even shrines offer charms in exchange for donations!

[ ...no offense wolfwood but from their two conversations, he gets the vibe that ereshkigal misunderstood a little bit... Like, he doesn't think it's as bad as the guy outright lying, but he's definitely got the vibe of a hustler. ]

nah

I'm broke

[ at least. that is completely true. he is horrible with money. ]

@hellonurse

[wwtd]

[ it is hard to ask for money...

to complete strangers, no less. ]

I'll donate some of my own money, too.

[ oftentimes, an act kindness inspires others. it's no less true, here and now. but look at her! he lacks the confidence to ask for donations. speaking on others behalves to do a good thing. go, ere, go. ]

We just got a pretty good check, right? I'll put aside a portion of that and give it to the cause.

I had no idea. When I saw the post, I thought it seemed weird to have people pay to confess.

[eyeofmyass]

[He's...obviously NOT happy about the unnecessary critique of his methods here, but...she's helping(?), so it's a very mixed emotion right now.]

what the hell is this? I thought you were just gonna toss it into a conversation or two.

whatever. help is help. but what's this shit about you being a god? that wasn't just an edgy username?

People are as cruel as they are kind, which is to say, it would be difficult to find a world that was completely heartless. Bartering is also something easy to understand across cultures, so I can't fault him for his process.

HEY I HEARD ABOUT YOU

[Uh oh.]

@tsunpo

[atonality]

Are you prepared to reimburse folks and fellows who have already fallen awry of his cunning sales tactics?

@kuzunoha14

[the_fourteenth]

If that's true, I'd like to donate my time or my money to the cause. No need for confession. I'd be more than glad to do so, and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one.

[It's a cause close to his heart.]

@pochita

[nutkick]

what's unacceptable about it?

[ an honest question. ]

[lunarchivist]

I do not think it is bad to ask for donations for providing a service. Doctors can ask for compensation after all....my little sister is one, and you can treat her to food to satisfy both needs.

I did not know what the donations were for, however. Wo- Mr. Priest-

[ referring to him by the name of Punisher feels wrong here...but he doesn't want to doxx him somehow ]

can be very insightful and we've had good talks. I believe the services he offers are genuine.

Lady Ereshkigal, this is Dan Heng. Please let Mr. Priest know I would be happy to help in his efforts to aid the children. I do not have much as far as money but I can help build or gather and hand out supplies as needed. I know there is a beach we can find alot of fresh food at...

@rasgulla

[peoplewatch]

I'll be sure to help out as well.

But hold on ... Your signature. A Goddess of Death?

aww this is cute

[ but he's also thinking this lady probably falls for a lot of scams... ]

@starbow

[bluestar]

do you really think he wants to help orphans?
