Prayer Box

[fromthefog]

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.

[The Fog knows the individual in which Shoka is referring to. Beat is the one who came to the shores of Lake Dala and shouted at her for some amount of time. She didn't dignify him with a response--after all, most of her children, on some level, dislike her. Sometimes, the best course of action is to simply ignore them.

There's a brief pause as the Fog consider's Shoka's words carefully. The wind continues to tousle Shoka's hair. Eventually, her voice rings out again, her tone level, if slightly amused.]

I recall the pooka in which you are referring to. I recall his outburst, but I found it unnecessary to respond. If I have induced such nightmares personally, I do not recall. But if he fears the Fog as a result--as he ought to--then why should I not lay claim to this act?

[She might not have caused the nightmares directly, but she's more than happy to lay claim to blame. After all, her name is whispered in fearful, hushed tones among humans in the darkest hours of the night, as if speaking too loudly may cause her to overhear. She is primal fear incarnate, made worse by the sins of humanity, and with every ill and ailment that humans suffer, her name is invoked and cursed. Why should she not shrug her shoulders and accept this accusation, as well?]

If he is having such troubles with these nightmares, as you claim, then perhaps he should consider his place in this world as a monster--a bearer of my strength. Confront these nightmares head on, and bare his fangs and claws in response. To face fear is to acknowledge and conquer it, so that one may never be plagued by it again.
