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.

They aren't friends. Rachel has made it very clear that she tolerates Elias at best, and only for the sake of their mutual friend, Reira. Rachel would have never thought she'd go back to Elias's side, when those early months of her first time in Ryslig were so blurry and distorted by a need for a god -- any god. And then he was replaced by someone else.

While she had aligned with the Fog out of an appreciation for her philosophy of being who you are even when it isn't pretty and because she likes living on the peninsula, when she had gone to one of her dear friends in search of a way to make someone pay for his pain, he'd only had one suggestion. He probably didn't think she would do anything about it.

And she didn't, for a while. Once Rachel had stopped being shadows, and her desire to seek revenge had died away, she was left with...a guilty feeling that tried to disguise itself as emptiness. She hadn't made any promises out loud, but in her heart... She had meant to do something for him. She had to, because she wants to. The things she wants to accomplish for his sake need someone else's help, and unfortunately she knows who the strongest ally she could make is. Her fingers hesitate over the keys before she starts typing at nothing.

Elias, if you could let me into the arcade, I'd like to talk to you.
I don't carry her key anymore.
...I'm not going to try to break anything, either.

[ A high-pitched noise, almost higher than Rachel can hear, sounds from her laptop. After several seconds, it dies out to nothing. ]

sure rachel
come on in

its nice to hear from you again
: )

[ A keycard with a rainbow sheen ejects from Rachel's laptop. ]

[Wow, she hates that. Both the sound, which doesn't make her flinch, but she closes her eyes and covers her ears, and the smiley face she sees when she looks again. Sigh. Here goes.

When she goes in, she doesn't pay mind to most of her surroundings. She just wanders around until she finds a place to sit comfortably, laptop set beside her.]

...I don't want to be friends. [Just gonna get that out of the way.] But...I need your help. I don't dislike Miss Fog, but I can't keep doing nothing when she's hurt Sonic so much. I want...to do something I can do when he can't, even if I can't make it up to him completely... Even if it means working with you.

[Ray's eyes finally slide over the scenery, settling on some security bot or camera. Whatever's around to find in that vein.]

I don't expect you to trust me. I don't want anything I haven't earned. I'd like to think...it's possible for us to work together when it could benefit both of us. If there's a chance that you could help find Atem and Sonic a way home, then I'll do what I can. So please... I'd like you to help me hurt her.

[ The pinball machine behind Ray lights up and plays its soft tinny music. The ball launches, and the machine begins to play itself. ]

[ The camera has been scanning back and forth across the arcade floor. Now it settles on Ray, no longer moving. ]
