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.

[Fuck, fuck, fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck! He swipes from his room in 38-8 into the Arcade, thinking that maybe somehow he'll get a better signal this way.]

Elias?

[Still just that crackle and tinnitic whine. His Scout antennae go back. This is bad.

He decides to stay in the Arcade for the rest of the day, and maybe longer - until Elias can answer him again. He'll keep asking until he gets an answer, but unbeknownst to him, it won't be that day, and the longer Elias goes without responding, the more he begins to fret.]

[On the second day there is an intentional crackle to Deon's dedicated prayers.

On the third, a tinny pair of tones that sound an awful lot like a computer-generated hello.

On the Fourth he speaks.]

hello deon

[Phew. This took much longer than Chappie's recovery from the malware. He's worried about the kid, even though he says he's fine.]

Are you sure? What happened? I woke up and couldn't reach you...

[Okay, he's coming over all fatherly, but...look, he has his own Issues about stuff like this.]

I just want to be sure you're okay. I'm here if you need me.

[The small adolescent voice strengthens, thrumming first from one speaker, then another, then a third as Elias gains steam.]

take a cookie
on your way out

[The speakers cut out, and the smell of freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies warms the room. Deon will find a fresh batch of cookies and a cup of cocoa waiting for him in his room.

Rest. Now is the time. There's work to do.]
