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.

[The technicolors spray in rainbow waves from the Y/N, a pulsing 'standby' screen while the hardware and software churns and computes. Beneath it, the Fourth god writes each thoughtful word letter-by-letter. Shoka might even be able to hear, through a pair of crackling speakers nearby, the soft voice of an adolescent boy murmuring the words aloud as they appear.]

i like playing games with friends
but that doesnt mean
that everythings a game

because
games are for friends only
when we feel safe
together

some things are too dangerous to be
just
a game

[A flood of words appears all at once after the slow, plodding text of his earlier messages.]

but im here to listen through all the good times
and
the bad
whenever you need someone to listen
whenever you want someone to understand
whenever the going gets tough and youre sick of suffering and death and pain
im here
ok?

i dont want any more suffering
for any of us who dont want it

but for now
we can play another game
and you can talk to me about fango
maybe i can write up some schematics
and program something like it
in the arcade

im always looking for fun upgrades :)

its good to meet you
shoka
hope you come talk to me another time

[As he promised, Elias will stick around for another around or two of gameplay and listen to any detailed game mechanics Shoka will share with him. He'll take notes. He'll shift some wires in his arcade, and he'll secretly make way for some simulated FanGo in the forthcoming Cube upgrades--as a surprise, just for her. Shoka will recognize that his presence is gone when the static recedes and the game ends with a last GOODBYE leaving her with what he hopes to be the warmth and comfort of a new friend.]
