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.

[A chilly current begins to creep into Judai's room as he finishes his prayer, but then--"Do you miss them?" The wind suddenly makes for a dramatic entrance as it forces his door open. No one stands at the entrance, however, and the air is freezing, almost suffocating.]

Know your place.

[A whisper of multiple voices hiss, surprised, offended. It's not unlike a parent scolding a curious child.]

Do not presume to know me, pet. What my dear witness has shared is more than enough. [The wind calms. . .gradually. It's far from a gentle breeze, but the pressure isn't quite so overwhelming. The whispers come again, this time a bit softer, but firm.]

. . .but I know you won't be deterred. Perhaps, should you prove yourself, we may speak again.

Some day.

[The wind brushes through his hair, as if offering a comforting, yet dismissive pat to a dog. And just as suddenly, the harsh wind returns, rushing over Judai and back through the door, slamming it shut.]

[He didn't say that out loud because he wanted to avoid this.

He doesn't know anything. And that's why he's asking. He wants to know. He wants to understand and find out where things stand here. Judai doesn't know her at all. She's practically still myth, even as she bursts through the door like the immaculate goddess she is and scolds him like the insolent boy he is.

Judai does flinch to all of this. To the wind, to her words, her harshness. But even as the words echo in his ears and his mind- blurring his vision, making focus difficult for him- it does become clear that this isn't the easiest of topics. It's something not to be shared with someone of his tier, someone who had yet to show their worth.

The Fog God is completely right. He's not deterred in the slightest. He'll find a way to reach her one way or another. If he does... when he does... he's not sure what will happen, but-

Judai watches the door slam with the wind, signalling the departure of the god.

Prove himself, huh?

... He should find Madoka. He needs to talk to her Priestess.]
