Glad to see him back. I thought it was strange that he went away after you had him so well hooked.

Hopefully we can get him back on track toward his membership.

Roger offers to do a memorial service for Ben's father:

Quote:

I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing out like this. Now I understand why you were not able to respond. I hope and prey the Old Gods will keep and protect your father in the next life.

Ben, I know this must be a difficult time for you, so please let me know if we can do anything for you. Would you like me to ask Pastor Dan if he can do a special Church service for the memory of your late father? All he would need to do that is a small token of your faith and devolution to the Old Gods. Please let me know if you are interested.

Let's see if we can get the lad to produce some trophies. Twisted Evil

Ben turns down Roger's offer:

Quote:

Thank you so much for your concern, no need of that, cos we have done the final burial for him yesterday, may his soul rest in peace, my regards to
Pastor Dan, and let me know if we can still continue our business, cos am fully back now.

Roger will be insistent when he replies tomorrow. The lad really does sound hooked.

Roger tries to persuade Ben to accept his offer:

Quote:

I understand that you have already done the burial, but I don't think it would hurt to have Pastor Dan do a service for your father's memory, to make sure his soul is at peace. And it won't cost you anything, all we need to do the service is a devolution picture, and that is very easy to do.

I think if you do this it would also show the Elders how serious you are in gaining your Church membership. And I want to make sure you impress the Elders as much as possible so you can get your membership quickly and we can get back to our oil business. So for the sake of our business and your father's soul, please allow us to do the memorial service.

I'm going to continue to insist until the lad does it.

The minute I read devolution, I thought of this:

Ben agrees to the service:

Quote:

Thank you so much for your concern, Here are the pictures you need, i will be waiting for your response as soon as you're done with the service,

He sent me some pictures of a funeral, I can't verify if it actually is his father's. Unfortunately (for him anyway), that's not the sort of picture I was going for. Roger will break the bad news tomorrow.

Roger explains to the lad what he needs in the devolution picture:

Quote:

I think you must have misunderstand what I meant by a devolution picture. To do the memorial service correctly, Pastor Dan needs a picture of you, the bereaved child of the dearly defenestrated, holding a sign with the sacred symbols of the Old Gods. It is a mark of deep Faith and a sacred Obligation in our Church to create a devolution picture after the passing of a parent.

I will tell you what you need to include on the sign: the symbol of the Old Gods is the diamond, and it represents the unbreakable strength of our convections. There should be 10 diamonds on the sign because that is how many Elders of the Church there are. The color of the diamonds should be red, which represents the blood of Jesus on the Holy Cross. And finally, you should put the number 10 in red in the upper left and lower right corners of the sign.

Do you understand all that? Take a picture of yourself holding a sign. The sign needs to have 10 red diamonds, and the number 10 in red in two corners. I can send you a previous devolution picture sent by Brother Baba if you need an example of how to do it.

Please send me the devolution picture as soon as you can, so Pastor Dan can do the service for your late father, and you can continue with your Church membership and we can finally continue our business.

Ben asks for the example:

Quote:

Okay, please send me example?

Roger will show him tomorrow. It sounds like he is on board to do the lad deck picture. Very Happy

Posted: Sat Aug 22, 2015 10:12 pm

Roger sends him an example, helpfully provided by Baba, my last inductee into the Church:

Quote:

Here is the devolution picture that Brother Baba sent us a few months ago after his mother died. You can see how he is putting on a brave face and smiling even through his grief. Well, that is what we all love about Brother Baba, his cheerful spirit.

Pastor Dan requested that Brother Baba put 5 diamonds on his devolution picture for the memorial service for his mother, because that is how many Old Gods there are. But since you are trying to get the attention of the Elders so we can speed up your membership, you should put the number 10 in the corners, and put 10 red diamonds on the sign, instead of 5 like Brother Baba did.

Now that you have an example of what the picture should look like, please send it to me as soon as you can.

May the Old Gods bless you, and also your late father.

Let's see what he sends me.

Roger prodded Ben, and he gave an excuse for why he hasn't done the picture yet:

Quote:

Sorry for the late response, i was attending to some case for one of my client here, but thank God, it has been settled, i got everything you sent me and i will look for a way to do as you said, thank you.

He's certainly taking his sweet time, but that suits me fine, as long as he does it eventually.

Roger guilt trips Ben a bit:

Quote:

Remember, we are doing this for your late father's soul. I don't understand why you wouldn't make this a top priority.

I am also worried that you are causing problems for your membership by delaying so much. The Elders are going to start to wonder if you are committed enough to the Old Gods to be a member. Pastor Dan keeps asking me whether you have done the devolution picture yet, and I don't know what to tell him. Please just complete it so we can get you your membership as soon as possible, and we can get back to our oil business.

I'll keep applying pressure until he does it.

Pastor Dan sends him a little poke:

Quote:

Benjamin,

I write in regards to your late Father. Roger informed me of his recent passing. I want to express my condolences from myself as well as the entire parish here at our church.

I realize that you have been very troubled with your loss. But Ben, Roger tells me you have not yet provided him a devolution picture for our ceremony?

Please allow us to do a special service for his passing. Trust me Ben, one you have completed membership and are within the folds of the Church of the Old Gods, you will find peace my son.

Regards,

Pastor Dan

I thought Ben might have dropped me again after he didn't respond for a few weeks. But today he came crawling back again:

Quote:

Sorry for the late response, i know you will always be wondering for my silent, am sorry for that, i have a big murderer case for one of my client have been attending to since all these while, but thank God everything went well, concerning your request, there is no way i can do that here, i pledge for your stop on this and let us begin for the process of the Oil business. (what an eager lad)

Everything is stable here, because of the new president, if we start this, i promise you in the next six months you will be in good mood (I would be in a good mood, because another 6 months for this lad would get me a sandtimer) , because there will be a lot of gain in your way. I await your response as soon as possible.

So he doesn't want to do the Church membership, eh? Well, that won't do at all. Roger will remind him tomorrow of the promises he made.

Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2015 4:19 pm

Good to see this lad needs more pain. Good to see he is in good hands. Twisted Evil

Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2015 3:02 am

^ Thanks. I'll put him through as much hell as I can.

Roger reminds Ben why he wants him to join his Church:

Quote:

You were in a murderer case? That's very interesting! Tell me more. What happened? Did your client kill someone, or were your persecuting the murderer? (I know this is yet another feeble excuse from him, so I'm forcing him to come up with more details to support the lie)

Also, what do you mean by pledge for my stop? Are you saying you don't want to do the devolution picture? You promised me that you would join my Church, remember? We agreed that it was because you are a heathen that the wicked fraud star Mr Oluwale was able to steal my money and run away with it. And we agreed that we must have the Old Gods blessing before we continue our deal. So I don't know how you want to do the oil deal without joining my Church? What should we do?

I'm sure the lad will do his best to weasel out of what Roger is asking him to do, but I will remain firm on this.

Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2015 11:03 pm

Ben explains about the murder case, and tries to compromise on the picture:

Quote:

Thanks for your response. Concerning about my client, he was trying to rescue a woman who involve in car accident to the nearest hospital, but before he got there, the woman dead, so you can see how this world is very wicked (no kidding), people hold him responsible for it, that is how the case got to court, but thank God we concur.

Concerning the devolution, let me send only my pictures to you so you can do it okay, please bear with me, you know am a very busy, i do take care of people properties too as a barrister, when i start with your business, that how i will also be busy with it, so please do as i said okay and discuss with the pastor. Thank You.

No sale. Roger will demand the picture be done correctly tomorrow.

Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2015 12:22 am

Roger tells Ben to do the picture:

Quote:

Yes, this world is truly wicked. I am horrified to hear how your client was treated when he was only trying to be a Good Sumerian. We must praise the Old Gods that in their wisdom they gave you the strength to concur for your client.

Anyway, I am confused by what you mean by sending me your pictures and having me doing it. Can't you just make the sign and do the devolution picture? It doesn't take very long, and I know it will go a long way to impressing the Elders that you are serious about joining our Church.

Please, we have already had too many delays. Don't waist any more of both of our times. Just do the picture. You will be rewarded for your faith once you are a member.

I'm sure he'll continue to try and weasel out of it, but Roger will insist.

Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2015 3:23 am

Roger gets annoyed that the lad keeps going silent:

Quote:

Why do you keep disappearing? I am beginning to think you are not serious and relatable enough to work with me on this oil deal. Mr Usman and Mr Ajayi are working with me on my gold and oil deals, and even though they are also busy bartenders, they have already reached stage 3 of their membership in my Church. Why can't you be more like them?

If you cannot send the picture I asked for and be more serious about joining my Church, then you can forget about working with me on the oil deal. I will just work with Mr Ajayi instead. He is already doing much more for me on his oil deal than you ever have, and Mr Hilts told me that he is doing a great job. Unlike you, where all you have done is get my money stolen by that wicked fraud star Mr Oluwale, and refuse to do anything to join my Church.

I bet the lad will love reading about how Roger has fallen back into the clutches of the nefarious Mr Ajayi. Recall that this bait started getting interesting the lad FBI told Roger he was being scammed by Mr Ajayi.

If nothing else, I want him to think he is losing out on a lot of money while other lads get rich off of such a prime maga.
