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.

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.

[divinesight]

[...Danny.]

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

[divinesight]

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

[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

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?

[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]

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.

[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?

[divinesight]

[Oh, he's well aware.]

Would you prefer it if I had?

[How bored are you, Danny.]

[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

[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.

[divinesight]

Possibly the fairest reason for leaving that I've heard. Although I suppose there's something to be said for proof of the demonic, if not the divine. Interesting.

[divinesight]

[...]

I understand. It's been rather trying here, with nothing to replace our former work.

Things being what they are here, however...regardless of what we choose to do, there will be difficulties involved.

[doctorize]

Oh believe me, I know.

[Fucking Jyuto not staying fucking dead when we killed him and all...]

[divinesight]

If you're seeking something to do, you can let me know, of course.

[Is he suggesting another date, is he suggesting killing a drifter, who knows. Conversely, why not both.]

[doctorize]

[porque no los dos???]

Oh? In that case consider this me officially telling you that I am seeking something to do.

[divinesight]

Then I'm more than willing to alleviate that for you.

Meet with me. We can continue off the network.

[doctorize]

Alright. Are you at home, or would you prefer meeting elsewhere?

[divinesight]

I'm currently at home; I imagine it would be best to start there.

[...In case conversation gets stabby.]

--> action

[doctorize]

[why would it get stabby gray, everything is fine........]

I'll be there in about 10 minutes.

[And sure enough, ten minutes on the dot, Gray will hear knocking at his apartment door.]

[divinesight]

[...Because either of us being bored generally always ends in somebody dead. Maybe not immediately, but eventually.

Anyway, he's willing to let Danny in easily and without much delay in the knock and it being answered; the apartment is dimly-lit, likely in a way that's familiar given the basement - that same sort of low ambient lighting and...too many candles, honestly, that Gray tends to like associating himself with, even now.]

On time as always.

[satanslash]

i mean ive only ever seen proof of demons but people still believe the other side is there and just
idk
doesn't get involved?

but even if it is there im already damned anyway so theres really no reason for me to go to confession or anything
a priest hearing me say im the son of satan is only gonna go over so well

[divinesight]

That's certainly true, though for as long as we're here and for however much it matters, I can't say that I mind it very much. Certain allowances need to be made here, if nothing else.

[satanslash]

[Were this his earlier teenage years, or even just at the beginning of it all, he would have actually been offended at the offer because who the hell listens to confession from a literal Satan spawn?! But he's older, has been through a lot, including a completely different, much worse world before this one. He understands now that this man who is basically still a stranger is still trying to do a kindness.

Still...]

i mean
thanks for offering but im not sure what it would even do for me at this point

but if youre still planning on doing priesty things [Rin that is not at all what you should call it] i did kinda propose to my girlfriend last month...
