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.

[BACKDATED (bc I need less reactive stuff Hfff)]
The AMA goes well- and on the one hand; Reira's not exactly one to cut corners on the deity's flaws.
On the other, it seems that's worked quite well to his benefit; beyond an intensely loyal friend and pseudo-sibling, it turns out that when people find out the local cloud of gray sent out a hit order on some poor kid's big brother, before said kid was carefully tucked in and protected by a stand-in computer, they warm up to the idea of Elias being kinda cool.
Which is to say, it seems the AMA has become some free- if not well needed- PR. Even among the Fog's lot.
Reira excitably yammers about it, and while she does sound a bit disappointed that most people were more interested in Elias- ('It wasn't your AMA...if anyone knows answers about you it's you they could just ask...')- she was still happy to share. ('...I'm glad I got to tell people what was important though.')
There's just.
One.
Thing. (Other than all of that of course.)]
AHHH- [She just realized something. Looking fairly distraught, she turns to Elias- or at least, where it feels like Elias is for real. He's not in the body after all.] I've never asked when your birthday is..!!
That's...I've missed so many then..! I always come and celebrate christmas and nattensfest with you, but I never asked when your birthday is....
[In her defense; everything else is wildly celebrated. Birthdays...those have been fewer and farther between, with hers only really standing out because people made it stand out.]
I have to get you so many presents... ....ah.
[Another thought occurs- one that came up with her friends rather recently in fact.] ...Hey Elias?
...You'll always be older than me, right?
[It feels too strange, the idea of Elias becoming the younger one. Strange, and sad.]
no subject
age doesnt mean much
when i have enough knowledge
to span five lifetimes
its just a number
im not my body
im bigger than that now
dont worry about missing my birthday
the best presents i have
are friends like you
and marco
and everyone else who chose the right side of this fight
no subject
[She's not 100% sure where that thought came from. Probably from hanging around Sonic a lot more. Still- five lifetimes is a lot, and it certainly puts in perspective just how much the computery nonsense has affected him. She doesn't know what she'd do with five lifetimes. Selective collections of language and strategy were plenty overloading enough back in the moment.
She does, however, pout a bit though.] That doesn't mean that you can't have extra though- like when we play games together; we've still got to fight, but we can still have fun, right? [And Elias likes games..!!
...well.] ...Mnh. I guess if birthdays feel weird though, it's rude to just say you should get birthday presents anyway...
[A pause, and a grin.] And I can still do stuff for December..!~
[Could the one who helped her decorate the entire place for christmas possibly turn down more christmas presents?? No! Never!!!]
...We'll win, one day, [She says more quietly after a pause.] ...it's important though, to make sure to be happy when you can until then too.
no subject
im happy
ill be even happier when we make it :)
but i know what we can do from now on
reira
do you remember
the day i was set free from the network?
thats a good day for us
ill do something special
i can make a new game
you can bring the cookies and cake
we can play and sing songs and dance where its safe
presents are fine too
but mostly
itll be best to bring friends
maybe sonic will want to come
and others
i know theres plenty who arent ready to take the cool things i can give them
but they can party
if they have yours and marcos protection
no subject
...course...
Elias' laughter is audibly subpar, to someone who's used to listening for those tells in anyone's voices. It's enough to take the wind right out of Reira's sails, even as he keeps going.
She is quiet as she speaks, only breaking that silence once Elias himself has stopped.] Mnh...that day..? ...I don't know what day it is, but...if it's a good day for a party, then that sounds perfect!
[Rather like Elias, she doesn't quite sound so carefree anymore. Just a bit sad.
Elias doesn't lie, but that doesn't mean that he's telling the whole truth either. It's not hard to be 'happy', while not being really happy. It feels like, though, that this is more for her than him. It always comes back to more friends after all.
Does he even realize, she thinks, how many of his 'friends' are prepared to stab him in the back?
Reira sighs, and nods, and smiles nonetheless. Because even if Elias can be a bit rigid and foolish in those ways...a party with friends- including those friends-]
That sounds perfect.
[At least, about that much, she can be really happy.
They are going to be playing so many of Elias' favorites tonight though, because she gets the feeling that he frankly needs it.]no subject
[The best day for a party. Elias 'sounds' confident about that, to the extent mechanical tones can sound anything apart from dead-certain, the machines lighting up around Reira in applause.]
i know its been awhile
and the exact day was lost to so many
maybe this will ring a bell
november 30
seven years ago
soon
you can do it
get ready
[Elias will leave Reira with a warm crackle of static around her shoulders. What is he planning, exactly? She'll have to wait and find out.]
closing for posterity, while laughing bc 'and then two weeks later the cube blew up' sure is a thing
[Warm static over her shoulders, and she does what she can to hug the cables back. She can't just pull him in herself for a hug, but it's...something? Maybe.
(She wishes, honestly, that he could get a real one.
Five lifetimes is too many to suddenly run through in your head, without ever so much as having a hug, or a meal to taste and eat.)
(Reira sits in his room for just a little bit longer before she herself leaves, the static cooling while she ruminates on whether or not her friend will ever be able to just be happy at all. It's never good, when someone insists they'll be happier when one specific thing happens.)]
