Sermon #2 | video

[raptura]

[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!

It is also fine to call me "evil."

[ He cannot help but laugh a little. ] After all, I am just here for fun conversation with a priest. There is no reason to worry yourself about anything else, right?

[raptura]

Well, I won't tell you what to call yourself, and I'm not going to make this conversation boring by trying to lecture you on morality or something!

...Though you've piqued my interest, all the same. Evil for being atypical in performance style? Motivation? Or something else entirely?

[nobodylikeshim]

Thank you~

[ Morality is a terribly boring topic for him. He is well aware his morals are quite fucked-up, and so there's no use arguing them! ]

Yes, the performance is atypical. My motivations are also atypical. And something else entirely. [ He has a lot of issues but is fine with them. ] Like I said... I perform because I enjoy it. My motivations are based on what it is that I consider to be fun.

When a person doesn't consider the feelings and motivations of others, they are evil. That is the long and short of it.

[raptura]

Ah! That's...Not a way I'd ever thought about it before, but I won't deny that your point stands strong. Boiling things down to their essence brings you to that conclusion alone, so I'll have to agree!

At the same time, however, I'd like to hope that your thorough enjoyment of your art carries through to your audience. So even if you're despicable about it...You can still bring happiness to others. That's the sort of evil that one can be charmed by, and therefore the most dangerous! [It's Pucci's turn to laugh now, deep and musical, and his smile's still audible in his voice when he speaks again.]

Or maybe that's just me. You seem very interesting, after all, so I daresay I'm charmed.

[nobodylikeshim]

I'm touched~

[ :) ]

Even if it is just you that feels that way, I'll be touched by your words.

Though, hmmmm, I think that your hope has come true already. After all, I'm having a lot of fun and you're also having fun. Right?

[raptura]

And in turn, I'm glad that my words could have such an effect! I'd be lying if I said that I didn't intend to bolster your mood and confidence, ha.

In which case...My hope has been reached, yes. Now I have to find a new one, which is slightly dejecting, but I'll live just as I have all these years. Maybe it'll be to catch that show of yours...Yes! That sounds good enough, I think.

By the way, since you know my name...Do I get to know yours, master magician?

[nobodylikeshim]

That is what a priest is supposed to do, though.

Don't sound like it is an afterthought. That will end up ruining all the confidence and bolstering of mood you just did. But hey... what is the hope that you were able to seize?

And I'm Hisoka. [ It really never loses its novelty -- people asking for his name. It's happened once or twice back in his world. He usually says, "Those that are going to die need not learn my name." However, there's no point in saying that here. Death is something that is not so permanent, so he'll end up just saying something embarrassing if he takes that hard of stance~~ ]

[raptura]

Ah-- my apologies! I didn't mean that whatsoever, but...Hm. I'm terribly sorry. I meant that both having a good, entertaining conversation and seeing a wonderful show where I struggle to keep up are on even par as far as my happiness goes, without detracting from the value of either one.

So, Master Magician Hisoka! My hope is to continue fascinating and being fascinated in turn, at the end of the day. To grow, and learn with people! Does that sound less insulting?

[nobodylikeshim]

It's fine~

[ He starts laughing. ]

It sounds fine. [ One can almost see a shrug thrown in after his words. ] It sounds like what I am doing. However, if I put it like that, I wonder if I'm the one that's being insulting~
