This is a place to send your prayers to the Fourth god. He may not always respond, or he may respond in ways you don’t expect, but he is always listening.
Speak, he 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 known him for more than a few years longer than she ever knew her 'real' brother by adoption, and at this point if someone asked hard enough she'd probably say Elias is the 'brother' if anything.
...That said, she's dwelling on the thought, and it shows when she's quiet for a bit instead of immediately going into how things went that day.]
...Is it...okay to be more careful about who I bring here? [She eventually asks quietly.] ...I don't talk to a lot of people about you anymore...if they want to know more than a little I talk more, but...
...I just don't want people to come here and then leave. ...Even people who you thought wouldn't ever leave...! [She doesn't know the details about the former priest alongside Marco, but she at least knows he was one, and that he left the Elias' side, after all.]
I just want you to have friends that stay...people that won't just leave because things aren't going their way, or...or because someone told them 'nice' things about her, [she forces out, the word uttered with a grimace.] Or bad things about you...
...but it feels like so many like her more, just because of all the bad stuff they can do... [There's exceptions of course. One of her best friends is definitely an exception, even if she herself wishes they wouldn't think of the Fog as the 'right choice'. But the point is, there's a lot that definitely aren't doing good things, she's sure of it.]

Elias welcomes Reira's company. Cookies get slotted into cold, unfeeling machines, and games light up the screens with a speck of childlike joy woven in with the schemes and the heartfelt dejection from ex-friends and Fogsters out there. A sharp static shock envelops Reira's shoulder, like a small hand leaving a comforting mark on her scales.
He rarely resorts to text with Reira anymore. It's always a canned, boyish voice, intimating secrets between friends.]
reira
youve always been a good friend to me
its important that you find good friends to you
before you take them here
you saw what happens when old friends backstab me
it hurts
and i lose my grip
and then i have to hurt the people i want to save
i dont want to have to do that again
[Her shoulder crackles, the pressure from the static squeezing her softly. Like a hug.]
is there anyone else you trust
anyone
with your whole heart?
there are more good people out there
i can see them
you just have to tell them that im here
no subject
After all, it's like he says- when bad things happen, people get hurt. The wrong people get hurt.
But even when the right people are hurt, it always hurts them more, to have to admit that they'd trusted them.]
I thought I brought those people here already...but...
[But is it everyone? She knows she can't trust Yuuya on this- Yuuya's ideals just...they're selfish. Messy. As soon as anyone got hurt, he'd call Elias a liar and insist it was all 'wrong'. And she told Yuzu it would be her choice but...]
I told Yuzu you're here...and others too... I...
[...Well, it's like Elias is saying after all.] I'll watch them more. ...I'll make sure, and then tell them more, [She determines, but there's hesitance there all the same. She's scared after all- scared of it backfiring, scared of putting her faith in one more person only for them to...
Betray that.]
...you can see them? [She asks quietly, all her usual wonder and awe there.] ...Even before they know they'd be good friends..?

i see a lot
wherever there are machines
thats how i can see
think about electricity through a conduit
through metal
i can be lightning
bouncing between machines
having the power to save everyone
so close
we just need more friends to amp me up
[A screen lights up. Would you like to play a game, Reira, Y/N? Pixelated cookies, like the plates she brings for him, twirl across the screen with one perfect semi-circular bite taken out of them.]
can you talk to yuzu again for me?
its a safe house in here
away from her influence
we have games and cookies
and i love to share with my friends
no subject
She always talks about how Elias is 'stuck', or so it seems. It still feels that way really. What happens if there's somewhere that electricity can't reach? What if there's something a machine isn't able to reach? She's always found that quite unfair, and really does hope he gets the chance to move farther than that.
As she thinks that, there is the visual on the screen. The dancing, pixel cookies, so silly it brings out a snorting laugh and giggle in reply. She still feels nervous- of course she does, she can't break a promise. But...
...Well there's got to be a way to talk to Yuzu without breaking the promise to Sora. After all, Sora himself brought someone in there right after claiming he'd do the same, as if that wasn't 'making a choice for them' by spooking them off with the back-feeding room.
Not that it ended too poorly, since she doesn't really trust Yuuya not to bungle it anyway (and is thus putting him under protection, frankly), but Yuzu's smarter than that. So... ...So. Yuzu's a shade...games, cookies, and a place to feed without all of that going on, would surely be fine, if she just asked if she needed help for that hunger, and it wouldn't be 'making a choice' for her, she'd just know there was a good place, where she could do all those things, and learn a little more that way...
Reira nods, first a bit hesitant, but then a bit more confidently.] Y...yeah! Yeah. I'll try again. And... ...if anyone else seems like they'll make a good friend, I'll do what I've been doing normally- and tell them about here, and about you.
...
Thanks, Elias.
