I had a crappy guidance counselor.

BAKERSTREET CAREER DAY

From the invisible to the glamorous, all work contributes to this nutty world we call our own. No profession's too big or too small to count! Know what that means? We do!

It's a multiversal job fair, and your character's here to recruit for (or warn against) their field.


HOW TO PLAY
- Instead of the traditional subject header, describe in brief what it is your character does. Or doesn't. Clear up misconceptions, offer the whole company line, etc.
- Interested parties inquire within.
- Did somebody bring the applications? I hope I at least get some company pens out of all this..

Would Satan be cool if I stayed friends with snake cultists?

[sisterimperator]

He'd be perfectly fine with it. The worship of false idols is in line with his vision.

[acaseofyou]

Oh, good, because that would've been a dealbreaker. Though I do figure there's some similar goals going on, as far as tempting serpents goes.

What all is involved with sin clergy? I've got sex, drugs, and rock and roll covered to varying degrees, but I don't think I'd look good in a habit, even if it's sinful.

[sisterimperator]

We do like tempting serpents. I've personally never met one, but scripture-wise, snakes with silver tongues are held in great esteem.

We don't always wear the habit, actually. We're not too strict on uniform. [ She gestured to her black latex dress. ] It's nice to know you have a head start on sex, drugs, and rock and roll, though. Plus points in particular with regard to rock and roll, as that's the most essential part, aside from the Devil worship.

As a Sister of Sin, you'd basically live a life of prayer, ritual, and debauchery, as well as serve the Papa Emeritus. Consequently, you'd be supporting the Ghost project.

[acaseofyou]

I think they're too Egyptian to care about scripture, but they are very good at the tempting. They have their own casino in Vegas and everything.

You do look very good in that. [ Even if it's not quite Birdie's normal style, as evidenced by her looking like she walked off a community college production of Hair. ] It's nice to know that's the main focus. Admittedly, though, my rocks and rolls lean more toward acoustic sets and getting blacklisted for being a communist than Devil worship.

Well, I can get behind the debauchery. Does serving go with the Ghost project, or are they separate?

[sisterimperator]

Impressive. They say that the love of money is the root of all evil - I disagree, but that's a topic for another time - so Vegas is a very good place to start an evil empire.

Thank you. [ Birdie looked quite wholesome, but Sister knew that it was the quiet ones. ] If you have good taste in music, then it doesn't matter what sort of rock and roll you're into.

It goes hand in hand, yes. The Ghost project is the culmination of the Clergy's efforts, after all.

[acaseofyou]

Doubt they'd call themselves evil, though that's the general impression from an outside perspective. If I understand it right, it's more 'indulgence is a bridge to higher understanding' than giggling with their snakes when you lose all your money. They do giggle with the snakes, but usually it's because someone made a pun.

What would you consider good taste?

I can see why you need more recruits for something that important.

had to Google 60's rock to ensure my list was right because she's from 1969 lol

[sisterimperator]

Well, why not understand evil while one's at it? I suppose one could argue that understanding means decoding that good and evil are sometimes just constructs, but we Satanists believe that evil in its purest form is an actual entity.

The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix... There are plenty of excellent musicians out there.

Absolutely, and the Papa Emeritus deserves his followers.

[acaseofyou]

So, wait... Then is Evil just what it's called because that's what the other church decided it was, or is it something else entirely?

They're good, and Jimi is a dream, but I'm more in the folk set. Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez-- that whole scene out in the Village.

I'm sure he does. Problem is I'm not actually much of a follower. If I was, I'd probably book more shows on my own than I do now.

[sisterimperator]

Sometimes. Do you want to talk about relative or absolute evil?

[ She nodded. Those were different from her usual music choices, but if one could appreciate rock and roll and idolize Ghost, that was what was important.

She raised a brow. ] You're a musician as well, I take it?

[acaseofyou]

I always thought absolutism is where imperialists and inquisitions came from, but I'm listening.

[ Birdie is, at least, able to appreciate a great many things, Ghost included. The idolizing bit might be a tougher sell. ]

I am. Vocals, guitar, piano. And I've got a record, but I had to get it pressed myself.

[sisterimperator]

I think that the absolutism that you are referring to is unabashed monarchial rule. But that idea that said monarchs - and consequently imperialists and inquisitors - believe that their ways are right is still a practice of relative good and evil. Absolute evil is true evil that is beyond human cognizance, free from our perceptions and points of view. We don't know if we can truly understand it, as that sort of metaphysical understanding may be beyond what our brains can handle.

And to line that up with your previous statement, you have a manager who would book shows for you but you'd rather not follow their directions?
