Sermon #2 | video
[Oh look, for once Pucci's putting his face to a post on the network! ...As username: viadolorosa still, but that's how it is sometimes. There's a few seconds of him trying to get a good angle on bracelet cam, before he smiles warmly and offers everyone a little wave.]
Hello. If we haven't met, I'm Father Pucci, and...I think that I can be of use to at least some of you. I've been under the impression that, even after some months here, adaptation to our need for chroma generation and the methods the moons drive us to use can still make people feel...Uncomfortable, I suppose. Amongst other things. And generally being in a new place with such differing morality can be hard.
So, what I'm offering is simple! We all have our social networks for the tough times, and services to assist with that besides. But if you just want to talk to someone, perhaps I can help you come to terms with this new place. Or simply listen if you have anything on your mind. I'm experienced with listening to people, as well as practicing confidentiality, for what that might be worth.
I'm sure you'll catch me around, if you're not willing to try and organise some sort of meeting at the moment. I hope that we can talk soon!

bless his socks. (also, voice! a man's gotta multitask ok)
someone ought to bless something of his, he needs it.| permvideo for obvious reasons |...1/2
[He laughs, shaking his head in disbelief.]
Shit, God really does have a sense of humor.
Re: bless his socks. (also, voice! a man's gotta multitask ok)
Shi-- crap-- Sorry!
Sorry, Father.
[Just ignore him, Father. He's just feeling the ghost of a hundred reprimanding head smacks due to his language in front of the clergy.]
no subject
...Laugh it is, then.] ...You can curse if you like, you know. I'm in no position to go reprimanding you here, where the gods aren't even the same. Here, I'm a priest but I'm also just another person who goes through the same things that everyone else does.
And it's a little funny! So you can laugh all you like, too.
no subject
He scratches the back of his head, speaking under his breath.]
That's good, cause I don't think I could really stop if I tried.
[Sorry, Ma. You tried real hard.]
So, uh. Were you talking about confessions here, cause that's what it sounds like you were talking about?
no subject
Basically, yes! Though a non-denominational breed, since. You know. Some people don't even come from any version of Earth and all. Confession, therapy, whatever you'd like to name it. As long as it's helpful to someone. And putting my name and face to it...Should reassure people, and hold me accountable.
So, if anything's ever on your mind, now you know who to talk to if you want.
(second time was somehow worse.)
[Uh, best not to finish that sentence. Besides, uh,
Anyway, I mean, we're here, ain't we? And like, if we're just going to keep sinnin'--
[?He trails off, spreading his hands. You must have a VERY free schedule, my friend.]
it's hard when you gotta use memes for the aesthetic. it's so hard
Exactly. Which is why it's not exactly confession. I'm in no place to quantify sinning when I'm partaking out of necessity too. But...I've also been hearing a lot of discomfort with what's required of us here, and people are always coming in; it mightn't exactly be a popular service like the sex work, but...
It's one that I feel there might be some small need for, now and then. Just conversation, confidentiality, coming to terms with our new situation and a distinct lack of Hail Marys.
so hard, man
Huh. That answers one question I didn't really need an answer for...
[No offence, but he wasn't looking for information on how busy the local priest has gotten. He sounds a little amused--just a hint.]
Mostly I'm just bugged about bein' on an alien planet. [Pause...] And the animal people are weird. Like, no offence.
no subject
...Well, the latter's usually accidental on his part, to his credit. You get people asking to fuck on your bracelet cam sometimes, you get numb to that sort of thing-- but he's still a little flustered from the sound of him clearing his throat, at least?]
Well, I'm fairly certain that much is understandable. As is the whole 'wow, those people have animal parts?' thing. You get accustomed to seeing everyone sprout new parts now and then, but I haven't yet gotten used to growing them myself, and I've been here for a few months now. It's like a psychological horror about the human condition or something. How many animal parts do we have to grow before we're no longer human? That sort of thing.
[god Pucci do you ever shut up] But-- my point. My point is that it's a strange place. But you do get used to it. That they have a few things similar to home helps, and there's someone here running a fast food joint that's straight out of the 50s, I swear. You'll find your niche here.
no subject
Hold on, back up.
You grow.
Animal parts.
Like, that's a thing that people just DO here?
[GUESS WHO TUNED OUT ORIENTATION. He just doesn't tend to listen to people for that long, okay. The thought of normal burgers can't even assuage him right now.]
That's–people just think that's normal?
no subject
So you'll do it too. And it'll become...Well, not normal, but...Something you have to live with while you're here. I, personally, grow feathers; they itch when they fall out, and owls are stupid creatures, but you take what you're given with good grace, unfortunately.
