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.

[She's served the god for a while and, well, better now than ever. Tucked in her office of the orphanage after most of the children have went to bed she begins speaking.]

Can humans serve you as well? Sheep aren't only useful as food, after all...if a deed is done in your name, must it come from a monstrous hand?

[There is no response at first. Several seconds pass by, with only Yuriika's thoughts to break the silence...

...and then the door to her office creaks open. A slight breeze wafts through, the air cool and crisp as it enfolds her, and a woman's voice begins to softly speak.]

A sheep may give its wool freely, but no matter what it does it will still be a sheep. [Her voice is soft, tender - like a mother explaining why a child has to take their vitamins.] I will gracefully accept what I am given, but I only have love in my heart for the ones I have chosen. You understand, don't you?

[An errant gust touches the tip of Yuriika's hair, and for a moment it may feel as though a parent is brushing a stray lock from her face.]

My beloved child.
