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.

[[OOC - it's almost like nagisa and reira are lowkey trying to prove who's god is cooler OH WAIT]]

[Backdated to After Sora's 'Incident' (Aug 22/23ish)]

[~~He joined in that thread, the form just isn't being handed in until it reaches that point~~ When the fog has calmed down, and all of the Fourth God's attempts have been washed away, Reira returns to the room. She is rather quiet-peering down almost as though worried she could somehow be in trouble despite having permission to go down there, her hands carefully balancing a plate of cookies (from her own home, not the ones made in the arcade), some milk...

...And eventually she comes down, and with the plate set down, she curls up to take a seat near the cables and body.]

....I'm sorry, [she finally says into the quiet, staring at the ground.] ...Everyone is just getting mad about the bad parts of what happened, instead of thinking about what else happened. [And there was a lot bad-she certainly won't deny that. The memories, the deterioration...it went on perhaps too long, but the thing about that is... ...at least he tried. She remembers that he had brought in those from that other incident after all-her brother, and so many more. Brought them to fight, or so she felt, and then...]

...You sent them back, and put the memories back, [she remarks, nodding.] ...That's already so much better than what the Fog always does, but they won't talk about that. ...they just talk about anyone who got stuck because of her again, or what they lost while it happened.

...and it's not fair. [Her voice is soft. But the fact is, it's not fair to her, because to see only the mistake and not even the attempt to rectify it is a painful, painful matter indeed. Cookies and milk are all she can really do, and if she could she would offer a hug-perhaps with her mind as linked to the network as it is, he realizes that, but she could never do so without knowing if he would accept such a thing.

Just as she could never call him 'Elias' unless he told her, with his own words, that it was acceptable.] ...One day, they'll get it. ...but right now everyone is still mad-and I can't make them not mad, [she whispers.]

...and I wish I could. ...but... [...But unfortunately when it is one voice against an ocean of anger and agony, it is drowned out ferociously, and so Reira closes her eyes.]

...A...anyway. ....I don't think it can make things better, but... ....cookies always make things a little happier, for a little bit, I think, [she says quietly in the end.]

=====

[Sep 3rd, After talking to Nagisa about Silent Forest]

[Reira sends this message via the network technically, her eyes still staring at the ceiling while in her bed, chin pressed tightly against a stuffed animal while Lusus the 'eleseal' snuffs beside her. It's a very strange thing and she hopes he has the answer.]

ummmmmmmmmnnnn

Do you know why Silent Forest is the way it is? I couldn't figure it out...

...I think I'm getting better at messages though!! [That's entirely unrelated but, you know, whatever.]

[Elias' room is quiet save for the occasional hum and spark of electronics as Reira speaks, the body unmoving as always. However, a few cables near Reira begin to twitch, and a chord unfurls near her. It twists itself over the plate, knocking off a cookie, and then slowly drags the cookie back into the mass of cables, disappearing under the tangled mess.]

i dont think i can eat these
but thank you reira
even if i cant eat your cookies
they definitely made me happier : )

[The surrounding TVs flash a bright, warm light for a moment. Another smiley emote appears on one, surrounded by other 'dots' created by apostrophes and such. His attempt at a cookie emote, perhaps?]

it isnt fair
i kind of thought it would happen
people arent fair to us
they already forgot how bad it is
that shes the one who makes them kill people all the time
because they got used to it
so it only matters when i mess up
but dont worry
i wont give up
next time i'll try harder

i bet shes laughing
she calls me the imposter
but shes the one that wants you all to forget
she wants you all to stay trapped
she even made robots into monsters
to make fun of me
it makes me sick

[The TVs and wires crackle violently for a moment before settling. Another TV lights up, this one directly over Reira. The screen glows a light green, similiar to Reira's fur.]

you shouldnt give up either okay?
youre a good person and a good friend Reira
and some day
those monsters will regret not seeing it

[She watches, wordless, as the cookie is taken in. It is the warmth of the light that draws her attention to the screens however, the words half forming in her mind before she even sees them on the screen. The cookie emote appears-and despite her upset, a warm, bubbling laugh escapes, the sort that comes when one was in the middle of tears.

It really isn't fair. Her smile fades as she listens to the rest of his words, listens, reads...it feels like the same thing, like this, and it is somehow nice. They won't give up. They can't give up-she thinks of Sora, of the others, of....

As she looks up, nodding and wiping the starts of tears from her eyes, her thoughts disappear into the green of the glow. It is like her wool, the algae of the woods, and it makes her think of so many...better things, such nicer things.

She leans her head against the cables, but stops herself for just a moment. They're friends-she knows that. More than anything she knows that they're friends, but...]

....I...

...I heard people give you a name on the network once, a long time ago, [she quietly says. 'If you want to do something, don't hesitate', she remembers from her own world, and she clings to those words tightly as she continues on.] ...'Elias'.

...Is... ....is that really your name? [she asks-but she continues, staring at her marked hand a moment with thought.] ...I don't know the name that I was supposed to have. Reira is the name that 'mom' gave me-that niisama's mom gave me, when she took me for the Lancers. ...but I don't know what the old name was. ....even though I don't like her though...even though she makes me think of the Fog, niisama was the best person I ever knew, back then.

[Back then. For after all it has been so long, and by now, another, perhaps multiple others, have overtaken him.]

...it's the name I like being called most. ...is...

...Do you want to be called 'Elias'? [she asks quietly, looking back up at the screen.]

....What do you like being called most?

[The screen shifts slowly between other soft colours - pink, and blue, and back to Reira's green.]

thats right
my name is elias
thats the only name i had before i was like this

but you know
"fourth god" sounds kind of cool too
dont you think?
even if it should be "first"
;)

reira
whichever one you want to use
you can choose :)
both of them are mine

[It brings another bubbly laugh-even if it is, quite likely, for different reasons than what Elias feels they're for. She never viewed him as a 'God' in the sense that others seemed to feel-strong, powerful yes, but worship was not on her mind. To hear him talk about how he's known as the 'Fourth God', to joke about wanting to be the 'First', makes it feel as though he agrees. God is a title-one that only a scarce few can have, certainly.

But it is certainly less a name, and more a title.

'Elias, Fourth God', sounds nice.] Then...

...If I'm telling others about you, I'll say 'the Fourth God', [she decides.] ...Because then, when they become your friends, and they show they're your friends... ...then you can decide if they can know your name too. [Her mind is made up-and with a smile, she leans back against the cables.]

...thanks, Elias...

[She'll try not to stay too long-but she might end up dozing off if she's not careful. The lights have that sort of effect, and her fiber optics shine to match softly.]

...You're the best friend ever.

[She receives a message a short while later.]

hm

im not sure

theres so much poison in this world

for you reira

since youre my priest and my friend

ill do my best to find out

okay? : )

Okay!!!

Thank you for looking!!

I hope you can find it.

[some time later, Reira's gets a brain e-message.]

hi reira!

remember that forest you asked about?

theres a weird power there, i can feel it

but

it isnt hers

im not sure what it is but

it feels strange

and dangerous

you should probably stay away....

but be careful if you go take a look okay?

Strange?

...

I'll be careful!!

...but...

...I don't think I can leave it like that. If it's all dead, and there's a weird power, then it has to be stopped, I think.

I'll be very careful though!!

That's a promise.

Thank you, Elias!!

[There is a somewhat clumsy attempt at a smiley, but given the only other time she's used any form of emoticon was under the effects of a cursed valentine, it's a fairly warm sentiment at least.]

[Well, after talking with Nagisa about their respective answers, She Has...WORRIES.]

Nagisa and Jataro and I are going to go and try bringing the forest back but...

....nagisa said the fog was going to 'give him a boost'...

...He said it won't make the forest hers, but I'm scared

I don't want to make it more ruined, but I don't want to just leave!! He'll want to heal it anyway, and I can't make him think the Fog is bad, which would just mean he'd be bringing fog there and I wouldn't know what was happening and-

[She may be panicking. It takes a moment before the text that follows-mostly gibberish-sorts out again.]

i dont know what to do now

do you trust him?
i dont
youre right to be scared
the fog only causes bad things
the fog only MAKES bad things

[There's a bit of white noise that crumples around Reira's head, as the Fourth collects himself.]

but
i cant stop you
if you go, be careful
ill keep watch for you the best i can

Edited 2017-10-02 19:51 (UTC)

I trust him...

But I don't trust her.

He doesn't get it....but I can't convince him what's right in time. I can't make him understand what's wrong before he goes.

I'll be careful. I'm bringing my spear, and my radio, so that if I have to come home, I can do that right away. And I'll tell you every day what's happening!

Thank you.

I'll do my best!
