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.

[ When Joshua sleeps that night, he will find himself in the Arcade, it is dimly lit, and the lights flicker.

He is alone.

And then he is not.

As if from nowhere, a figure will appear sitting on a pinball machine. It turns it's head, face indistinguishable and edges of it's features shifting in the light as if they have not settled on being any particular thing, nor do they want to.

The only thing that is clear, is that the creature is smiling.]

Composer.

[It's voice seems to come from many directions at once.]

Kill her, and return to your game.

[It slides down off the machine. As it walks towards Joshua, it seems to vanish out of existence and reappear in bits and pieces. It's ungrounded, fragmented, but taking hold.]

Kill for me, and I can help.

[It's smile grows.

Joshua will wake with a start.]

[leggierissimo]

[Wake with a start, indeed. The moment he's up, Joshua's ears are perked forward, pupils large in the low light, senses extending for some sort of presence. That had been... He might as well try to contact again. If he's still around, he might still answer.

When he speaks, his voice is quiet, so as not to wake anyone else.]

You asked to kill. Do you mean a human, or another monster? A Fog God follower, perhaps?

[He's silent for a moment, considering his options.]

In what way will you help, if I do this?

[fourthmade]

[That same voice will come, as if whispering in his ear.]

You want power.

Kill hers and I can give it.

[ The words seem to repeat and echo and then fade to nothingness. ]
