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 laptop screen ripples, for lack of a better word. It's a white-ringed pulse, cinching from the bottom right corner and terminating in the top left, leaving behind a golden warmth when the boy god does reply to Nanami.]

Yeah! What kind of games do you like?

Even if you can't be extinguished, there's other ways of not being okay.

You're one of us, I think, so I don't want you to feel alone.

[A little 16x16 intermediate Minesweeper game appears on her laptop -- it's beyond the regular processing power of these devices, its resolution higher than it should be able to be.]

[ Nanami's immediately playing the Minesweeper game Elias offers, keeping half an eye on the messages as they're still coming through.

But the offer gives her pause. Because she wants to help, and she wants to be his friend. But...

She does know what the key means, by now.

After a little while of thinking, she's typing again. ]

That's like choosing a side, right? I don't know if I can do that yet. I have friends who follow both of you, and I think I care about both of you too.

But I still want to play with you and be your friend, if that's okay.

[fourthmade]

of course thats okay
the only side youd be choosing
is to not be on her side
the fog
the one who brought you here
and made you have to do things you didnt want to do

but if youre not ready
thats fine
i still want to be friends
even if its not official ;)
and play games

come visit me anytime
ok?

With that, Elias's presence fades out, and all text vanishes from the screen. Elias erases his chat history.]

[ Nanami'll continue playing on the game until it's finished, and then keep playing more rounds after if she can.

Her impromptu games with Elias continue sporadically over the following months, only dying down completely when she dies in the wasteland in mid-August. ]
