fromthefog | Prayer Box

This is a place to send your prayers to the Fog god. She may not always respond, or she may respond in ways you don’t expect, but she is always listening.

Speak, she hears you.

OOC note: As of April 2020, threads with the gods will be capped at three NPC replies! Please keep this in mind when writing god prayers to make sure you get everything you need out of the thread. It’s also possible to handwave prayers by titling your comment HANDWAVED PRAYER. Handwaved prayers lack our usual flourish, but you can expect a faster response!

As of February 2024, god prayers will be handwaved only. Please only submit a prayer if you have a question for either god which needs answering in order to progress your character's arc within Ryslig. If this is something you need to tier up within the god boon system, or just to set up a player plot in general, please don't hesitate to submit a prayer about it! You may shorten it down to an OOC summary of what your character is asking. This will allow any of our helper mods to reply much faster, without having to dig into the specifics of either god's personality/writing quirks. Should this limitation be lifted again in the future, this note will be removed.

[She prepares an offering.

Using the basement that she has been gifted-using the table she has constructed. With candles lit in her name, a bowl of blood, and a pound of flesh.

The victim is still alive, of course. It is better to leave them alive as long as they can, after all.

Flesh and blood, presented with the greatest of honor-and regardless of if she receives an answer immediately, she prepares this offering daily forever after.]

...It's gone, [she whispers, bowing her head.] ...The great memorial you constructed for us... ...I should have thought to protect it, but we had assumed no one would want to destroy something so meaningful..! ....but we were wrong. ...They destroyed it...He did, I recognized him, and it's so clear that I..!

[Her voice breaks, and she sighs.] ...It's so clear that simply chasing him down won't restore what was lost.

...I am...working with others under your wing, and those who aren't as well-to create a new memorial. It will pale so much next to your own though-in size, in greatness...it won't bring the same emotions as before, I'm certain, [she breathes, all of her eyes closing.]

...I offer it to you all the same. All that I weave, all these names they cherish-I dedicate them to you once more, just as you had them written before. If I could ask anything of you...if I could dare to ask, it would be that you take this construct, this dedication, as your own once again. Guide us, please...

...and let them realize who it is that truly watches us, and remembers.

[She does not have to wait.

All around her, the air begins to thicken. The voices whisper around her, a thousand presences chattering and murmuring at once, but strangely the goddess never speaks above it all.

From Yuuri's praying position, she will feel the presence of another in the room. It ghosts to the victim, watching silently, then over to her. In silence, it kneels next to her, and the cool wind surrounds her as if in embrace.

She has heard your prayer, Yuuri.

The presence wisps away, bit by bit, until Yuuri is left alone again. The candles flare - the flesh and blood are gone.

A small fog remains, under the table.]
