The recent times have been trying; even without the added changes and trials that the past month has brought upon us, the burden of being brought to a world not your own – with expectations and additional changes put upon you that were both unasked for and unbidden – may be proving difficult, regardless of one's resilience or constitution. There is not shame in such things.

I understand that faith may be a comfort to some who are used to taking solace in it. My name is Abraham Gray; I am a Catholic priest in the service of our Lord, and as such I'm more than willing to offer rites and guidance to those who would seek such things. I'm also willing to answer questions regarding my own personal faith, should such questions arise.

Whether you feel such services to be something you require or not, I pray that you find peace and solace, and strength for the days to come.

Which lord?

[divinesight]

That's a fair question, from what I recall of what we've discussed before.

Those who adhere to the faith I follow believe in one God, that holds dominion over all things.

[hagrides]

Ah, I see. They must be quite a busy god, in that case.

[divinesight]

Also entirely fair - I suppose He must be.

I serve as one who offers rites and guidance in His name, so I provide what assistance I can.

[hagrides]

You are not unlike the members of my troupe. Though I suspect your duties are somewhat different than followers of the Nightmare King.

[divinesight]

I would imagine so. Might I ask you to tell me about them...?

[hagrides]

The troupe's duties are to travel from dying land to dying land, to cleanse it of lingering hatred and anger so that the land may be reborn. It is a thankless task, but having company makes it bearable.

man what is with all the catholics all of a sudden

[Rin it's been like two of them chill out.]

[divinesight]

If you're referring to Poland, I've spoken to him recently. If nothing else, the Catholicism seems reasonably contained otherwise.

[satanslash]

wait hes
poland
like the country?
like that weird guy claiming to be america?



what the actual hell

[divinesight]

It isn't something that I'm inclined to ask about, but that is the name I was given, yes. I suppose stranger names exist. On the other hand, if they choose to believe that they're all countries then I have no intention of stopping them either way. Live and let live and all.

[satanslash]

yeah i dont really know if id even get a good answer if i did ask

[America weirdly sees Rin as his 'rival' despite the fact that their restaurants are nothing alike.]

anyway it was just weird to me because ive been here like sixish months now? and i didnt meet any other catholics until just now and it was basically you and poland back to back so

yeah



not that im actually catholic anymore but whatever

[divinesight]

Might I ask what made you leave the faith?

I do believe it's your choice to make. As such, no lecture is forthcoming regardless of reason, I assure you. It's more a matter of curiosity.

[satanslash]

i was raised in a boy's home attached to the church by father fujimoto but i never really believed
believed even less when my life just kept going in shit directions with no end in sight no matter how hard i tried

what really sealed it for me was finding out im part demon

[... That's a fucking bible verse, isn't it. Why the hell are we not surprised.

Danny doesn't know which bible verse it is though, and will begrudgingly look it up later because he's too curious not to.]

Should I take this to mean that you've got a church here now, or are you still only able to do house calls, so to speak?

[divinesight]

[Of course it's a fucking Bible verse.]

House calls for the time being, though that doesn't mean I don't have a church here. Merely unfinished, for the time being.

[doctorize]

Is it building renovations that are unfinished for the church, or something else?

[... Is Gray trying to put a murder basement in his new church, is that why it's unfinished.]

[divinesight]

[...Danny.]

I haven't added anything extensive to it, if that's what you're asking me.

[doctorize]

[Listen. We have plenty of reason to ask this about your church, Gray.]

Alright, I was curious.

[Not like he was hoping there would be one or anything.]

[divinesight]

[Oh, he's well aware.]

Would you prefer it if I had?

[How bored are you, Danny.]

[doctorize]

[Oh he has been absolutely bored. He even, regretfully, allowed himself to be talked into volunteer lifeguarding this month just on the off chance he might get to watch someone drown, but alas it didn't happen yet.

... But we are on a public network and probably shouldn't mention that.]

I don't know. I guess I was used to it being a certain way before, so it's strange for it not to be that way now.

I haven't had confession since coming to this world. What world did you come from?

[divinesight]

Certainly not this one. I'm from America, if that means anything to you.

ooc-the year is vague in canon.

[omkara]

It does. I came from Europe, ( He gives the year which is near the end of the 19th century. ) what year are you from?

[divinesight]

Over a hundred years beyond that. I don't think I've met anyone else from that sort of time period here, though I've hardly talked to everyone. Are there others from your world here?
