Who: Stefan Salvatore-Alesci and you!!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Iskaulit
When: January 19, early afternoon
[The feed opens to a wide-panning shot of a few rooms clustered together on the Iskaulit - a bright prayer room with a wide open window and carpeting, which is attached to two smaller rooms: a small kitchen & dining area with all the necessary utensils + more than enough tea, and a washroom behind a wedged door. All well-lit and inviting, with yellow paint on the walls and warm lighting in the ceiling. Once the camera focuses back on the prayer room, it's flipped so Stefan can greet the Fleet with a smile. (It doesn't quite reach his eyes, though, and his shoulders are unusually tense.)
There are bookshelves behind him, though they're filled with things like prayer beads, bells for prayer, and little kneelers that people can move around. One shelf has the Lord's Prayer, although it's written in Italian rather than English. In general? This space is as warm & inviting as it can be. Stefan's tried his hardest to make it feel more like a home than a sanctuary.]
Hey everyone. I'm Stefan [a hesitant pause, before he forgoes his surname altogether] and uh, for those who don't know me, I'm the Paisley's lab support. Anyways, a few months ago, I told the Fleet that I'd like to open an interfaith space. Thanks to the support of a lot of people, it's finally here.
If you need a space to pray, or talk to someone about your faith, or sit down and have some tea... you've got it. Still working on the final touches, but we've got most teachings from Abrahamic faiths, an interfaith service every Thursday, and of course, jumu'ah on Fridays.
If you'd like to lead a faith service, or to help with spiritual counseling, you're more than welcome to. This is for all of us, not just those who believe in one particular religion - but let me know so I can either get you situated. If you don't have experience, that's okay. I can show you the basics.
The prayer room will always be unlocked, but if you need to access something when I'm not around, give me a call. Oh. [He focuses the camera on white shelves by the door. Eagle-eyed viewers could probably see his lying around on the top.] Don't forget to take your shoes off before you come in.
This is technically a sacred space, and well... [jokingly:] Not every faith believes in shoes.
[ooc: With this post, the Interfaith Center is a location you can use! The prayer room (+ adjoining washroom) will be unlocked 24/7, though you'll need Stefan's permission to access the kitchen! If your character would like to become a spiritual counselor, PM me! The pay is non-existent, but you will get as many cookies & tea as your heart desires.]

[Stefan heads back to grab the lightbulbs. He wasn't lying about the ladder - it's standing right by the entrance, presumably borrowed from one of the other establishments on the Iskaulit.
He'll be back in a minute with a small box, filled with various (new) bulbs for each fixture. Most're in, but there are a few that still need to be placed in.]
no subject
So, what's the feedback on this place so far? Are people looking forward to visiting?
no subject
[He shrugs, almost as if he's confused, as he holds out the box.]
Not that, uh, I wanted negative feedback - but it was the first thing I'd hear back home.

[Kirito snags a bulb and starts the installing.]
I think enough of us in the fleet are reasonable enough to leave alone what doesn't interest them.
no subject
[Which reminds him, he should probably donate a few of his trashy sci-fi novels to it.]
It's more... even if people here are reasonable, that feeling's not gonna go away anytime soon. [Islamophobia is a hell of a drug.] But in the meantime? I'll let no news be good news.
no subject
[He can't speak from experience about that, specifically, but he understands how it feels to be hated for something you can't help. To not have to feel that way anymore is a gift.]
Probably smart to look at it that way, though. People can drive themselves crazy with paranoia.
no subject
I can deal with general apathy, and general distrust of their gods. [Interfaith got those every other second. Why, Stefan would never know.] Oh, and cults, should that ever be a thing.
no subject
[Are murder cults a thing? Because he dealt with that shit. It's not fun.]
