[text] @goddess of death
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.

sorry
but you really comparing me to other gods? I'm a human, ya know.
no subject
[ The sister problems are palpable here. ]
no subject
what'd your sister do to you?
no subject
Either you think too poorly of humans, either you think too highly of gods.
[ Perhaps both. ]
She is the most incompetent, laziest and evil goddess in all of mesopotamia. She will cause a world-ending disaster once a year without even trying. I could not begin to list everything she did, it would be endless.
no subject
Damn, even the sibling thing sounds familiar.]
so why don't you stop her?
no subject
[ She's not proud of it, but she did it! ]
Unfortunately, the other gods were very insistent I revive her.
They spoil her way too much.
They bend all of the rules for every of her whims.
[ The sister who's spent all of her life working dutifully, suffering in silence? Hey forget her, let her rot down there. The bratty sister who throws a tantrum whenever she doesn't have what she wants? Why, bend the very rules of reality for her! Bah. ]
no subject
[So better than Vash then.]
Wait, you can revive people? Why didn't you tell them to shove it? Sounds like you did the world a favor.
no subject
Unfortunately, she is the goddess of fertility too, amongst other things.
Humans on the surface stopped doing...
C
Certain things better left unnamed.
It could have potentially led to the extinction of mankind if she remained death.
And I did not want that.
[ To say Ishtar is lazy is probably inaccurate, really. It's just that what she does for her duties is, um. Well. Hrm. Coughs.
... By far and large things Ereshkigal doesn't consider to be real work! Sighs. ]
no subject
[Damn. He's been angry for a long time, angry at his god for being so damn hands off and letting him suffer, for letting all of them suffer. But maybe that's better than having a god sprinkling people with horny dust and filling bellies with babies.
But he can see how that would definitely be it's own kind of world ending.]
Gods can't swap jobs?
no subject
That was a long time ago.
[ The Age of Gods is over, Ishtar's on permanent vacation now like every other god. Except death gods, they don't get breaks even when their age is over. ]
Y
You're asking a lot of questions, you know?
Am I being interrogated here?
no subject
nah, just call it a professional curiosity. pictured the devil before but you aren't matching the image.
no subject
That is what most people assume.
