[RP] The Confessional

[Birdnerdy 1539]

Your footsteps echo throughout the vastness of the grand Carolustadt cathedral, and you find your humble person dwarfed by the majesty of God. As you stand between orderly rows of pews, marveling at the vivid colors of the stained glass adorning the far wall, a voice calls to you from the confession box.

 

 

“Greetings my brother (or sister) in Faith. Have you come to confess your sins?”

 

 

 

 

OOC

 

((Confess your sins to my character Father Tamalpais in the thread below, or ask him for advice. All characters/races welcome!

 

 

 

Credit to Urara for thread concept.

Approached the Cathedral with a cigar in his mouth, stowing his bearded axe at the door with a short frown. The Elf moved into the hallway afore the Confessional, he moved in to the box.

 

“Father?..” 

 

He called out, awaiting a response.

“Yes, my child?” says Tamalpais, stirring from behind the dividing screen. “What has brought you into the house of God on this day?

He signs the equivalent of a Canonist Cross, resting his gauntlets one over the other.

“Father, I have felt too much joy in destroying the damned, for it grants euphoria, and have stolen from th’ decadent and evil. For this however, I feel good. Father, am I wrong?”

Silence hangs over the confession box as Tamalpais ponders, twiddling his ink-stained fingers. 

 

“God stirs the heart when we see wrongdoers punished – your soul cannot be stained on that count, for we are often used as His instruments to administer justice. Be at peace.”

 

Silence again engulfs the booth, then the low voice of the priest sounds once more.

 

“To steal in any capacity is to sin. You speak as though your actions were justified, for you transgressed against evil ones, not good folk of the Flock. But keep a close watch on your judgement. A man can be consumed by worldly pride if he sees himself wholly as a Divine avenger, whose every sin is forgiven because it is committed against the unworthy. For who are we to decide which souls will be damned, and which will ascend to the Skies? Always look to God for guidance when committing such deeds as you have described.”

 

He pauses for a breath, before closing.

 

“Already you have taken a proper step in that direction, but pray that you do not forsake your need for His wise counsel.

Forsoothe, this council has moved the Autarch, who frowned and buried his face in his gauntlets. For tears did not stain his cheeks, truly, did this mans council. Who has nodded, he arose.

“Thank you, Father. May God bless your holy path.”
