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.

after getting his music player handwavey

[soundsurfing]

After getting his music player, Beat'll enter the Arcade to talk to Elias. He's going to throw a pretty large party next month, black light to let everyone see how he sees them, and he's got some music here he plans on hooking up to speakers to have it blasting. The reason he's coming to Elias is sort of devious, and he knows it, but he sort of wanted to see what Elias thought.

If possible, maybe Elias can weave some anti-fog/POSSIBLE pro-elias sentiments into the music. Nothing audible, people will just hear music, but more of the magical influence variety. Also nothing too obvious like THE FOG GOD SUCKS SIGNED XOXO, just more distrust towards her, her words, and her reasoning behind what she's doing.

While the Pro-Elias sentiments would just be to try and soothe peoples constant "he's doing it deliberately to try and harm people" feelings, especially in Fog Followers. And maybe have it kick in a few days after the party, so it's not obvious there's something about the party doing it, or that it's Elias' doing.

But he also doesn't want people to immediately turn on Elias, as they tend to do anytime there's even some hint of Anti-Fog/Pro-Elias thoughts, so he understands if Elias declines. Plus it is a little shady. Blame that deceptive pooka nature of his.

........ Also he really wants to paint the arcade... (it's so seedy looking elias come on)

Elias thinks that Beat is a very clever and smart friend! He can't promise perfection, because there's always unanticipated bugs in any program -- especially when it comes to the Fog's interference -- but he can try to pour a little bit of his power into the music. He'd assure Beat that it's just a little nudge, just a little bit of fun similar to what the new rooms in the Cube can do for Monsters. He will try to imbue the party with warmth and a vibrant, playful energy that'll make people feel good about all the games and cookies they're enjoying. He can even amp up the tech and turn it into a sick neon day-glo rave.

He doesn't think it'll do anything for a Fog Priest or other higher-tier Fog conduits, but he can at least extend some attempts at goodwill and friendship towards neutrals.

As for painting the arcade... Elias is open to the idea. Will it be awesome? One of the arcade machines extends a robotic arm and offers Beat a full palette of spray paint. He's seen your graffiti around Bavan City. Do your best work for Elias!

Excellent, that's exactly what Beat had in mind. Humans will be invited too, so hopefully that'll help nudge them towards further pro-Elias thoughts and a slight more hesitance towards the Fog and her followers. And Elias is more than welcome to dig his hands into the tech, lets make this party awesome and let people know Elias is there for them as a friend, not a puppetmaster like the Fog.

And oh boy, Elias. Beat will spend the next several days popping into the arcade to spray and paint and give it a face lift. Something more 'modern', nothing too edgy. He'll invite Neku in as well, as that one's the real artist, introduce him better to Elias and really give those walls and ceiling some gorgeous art.
