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.

right now
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

[Norman gasps softly at that warm surge, his shock turning quickly to wonder. he turns the card over in his hand, tilting it to catch the light. it looks just like Reira's, of course, and he can't help smiling.]

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?

[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.]

[he leaves a note on his door, in case anyone comes looking for him, then heads to the Arcade. they spend a pleasant afternoon playing what games there are - and he's horrible at almost all of them. bomb sweeper? he's pretty dang good at that one.]
