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.

Loading arcadekey.exe.................... A slot on the side of the computer pulses with a golden glow.
Elias is here. He's eager and ready to open up the doors to a new member of his team.]

Yes, a better place for everyone. That's exactly what I've always been trying to do. I made some mistakes, some bad mistakes. But I'm trying to fix them. It's part of why I want to help you. To prove that I'm still a good person.
[he's still worried about not having a job yet, but that isn't Elias' problem, it's his. and Elias is a child, and he wants to play, he wants a friend. he hasn't done that sort of thing in years... but... he can try. he has to try.]
What would you like us to do together, then?
<SYSTEM_ADMIN>
or in the long run? ;)
[A card pops out of the glowing slot. When Norman Osborn takes it, he'll feel a surge of electrical power creep up his arm and warm his entire body. It's not unpleasant; it almost feels like a machine's attempt at a hug. The card itself is black, with a shining, rainbow iridescence stamped into both sides.]
right now all i want is a friend
theres plenty of room in my arcade
for more friends
thats your key
use it on any door and you can visit
whenever you want a break from her
you can work there too
in peace
with doctor emily
if youre okay with being partners
say
whats your favorite game?
do you play video games doctor norman osborn?
i cant play much outside of my space
where i keep all the best upgrades
but
theres solitaire
and bomb sweeper
or pong
<DrOsborn>
I think Emily and I would be fine partners, yes.
I haven't played video games in a very long time. My son, Harry, he had a Nintendo. When he was little he'd beg me to play with him. Eventually ... he stopped asking. Maybe because I wasn't very good at it.
Solitaire and bomb sweeper, though, I admit those were a guilty pleasure. I'd be happy to come and play with you. Maybe once I've been here a while and gotten used to things, we can talk about the long run. ... Can I use this card and come see you, now?
<SYSTEM_ADMIN>
anytime
anywhere
you wont see my body maybe
i dont live in my body anymore
but its still me
its my place
youll feel me there just like youd feel a brother sister mother father son daughter
ill make a room for you
it wont be much but itll be just for you
you wont need to pay for anything either
we re f r i e n d s and collaborators
ill always have your back
if youre there for mine
ill see you soon
i cant wait to show you around
and play some games
we can start on an easier mode
no one begins at expert level
ill teach you the ropes :)
and ill never stop asking you to come to our place
i promise
[The conversation abruptly ends, cursor frozen on the screen and the warmth retreating from the room. Elias will wait in the Arcade, as he promises; it's there that Norman will feel that crackling warmth again, it's there that he'll hear a tinny mechanical laugh and enjoy the company of video games and curious machines.]
