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.

[Suffice to say, the day Everything Goes To Hell is the day that Reira is panickedly sending flash messages via network until she's managed to teleport across enough radios to reach a door to the arcade. Plants, TOO MANY plants, and burns- whatever comes immediately with the 'Break' is more than enough to send the girl flying.

Reira has been updating Elias constantly, during the revival efforts. The Fog's presence unnerved her, and scared her, not to mention Nagisa's attitude during the process. She's reported what has changed though-what she's seen, down to trying to take network photographs for the other's sake, and now...]

ITS BAD its WR ONG

WR ONG

YOUWERER IGHT-

[...It's clearer when she's in the arcade-falling to her knees, shaking with wide eyes.] It's....worse, [she manages, choking sobs back.]

...I knew he'd keep going... ...but we didn't know this would happen.... [It was something that made both sides nervous-and until the Fog was involved, perhaps she'd have felt more inclined to throw herself into the matter. But for all she wanted things to succeed properly the fog created anxiety and fear-but both of them knew there could have been no stopping things.

It had been as she told him-her friends were determined, and would have merely gone on without her.

And it was as he told her-he couldn't stop her, but the fog only created Bad. She had never doubted that. ...That was why she'd kept her reports going, after all. To give Elias information. To keep him informed, where the alternative would have been waiting until this happened as it was.

But as Reira curls up at the arcade entrance, she trembles.]

How... ....How do I put it back? [she asks, as if the rush of plants and the curse yet to come is any mere 'it'.] ...How do I stop this...if I couldn't do it before..?

i knew it
i told you
the fog only makes bad things ever
i was watching
its not your fault reira
its hers

that thing that was in the forest
its everywhere now
it feels terrible :(
its like
when i was small and drew on the wall with crayons
and then i knew id get in trouble so i tried to cover it with white crayon
but that just made it worse
thats what it feels like

let me think
we’ll figure out how to get rid of it
okay?

[It’ll be an unnervingly silent day or two before Reira gets a ping back from the Fourth God again, in her head.]

reira
i think i get it now

you need to go to rota
and get something old from the night god priests
it doesn’t matter what
just that they used it a lot
bring it to the middle of that forest
and then i can tell you how to put everything back
you can do it right? :)

[Reira waits patiently-albeit rather nervously, and she dips back into the Arcade and park as often as she can, curfew be damned. It's a big mess of 'I knew it' and 'couldn't stop it', as much as she wishes she could have. She practically bolts upright when she does get a message.

Rota...]

Rota.

I can do it! If I take pictures, for you, can you tell me if it's something that will work?

yes
of course :)

[[OOC - ....Who's player is p sure this event is gonna push her to the Fourth haha.]

Okay!

....um

....just in case, can I bring a friend? It'll be someone who likes you-maybe they'll even decide to be your friend.

If that's ok?

as long as theyre not one of hers
if theyre your friend its ok
even if they arent mine yet

be safe reira!

They're definitely not!!

They keep calling them a '8itch'?

I don't know what that word means..............there's an 8 in it....

[no one tell her]

I'll be safe! I promise!

[After a lot of coodinating, and a few agreements, Reira gains a party of not only one, but two. Sora-the fourth follower even SHE isn't certain about, and recently made Nephilim, along with Vriska-the neutral Demon...who she personally hopes won't be neutral much longer.

Vriska teleports to Rota, despite all her crawling thistle burns-Reira teleports through a radio the demon carries, arriving in a shower of gold static. And finally, borrowing someone's shed door, Reira calls Sora out from the Arcade. Perfect 'cheating' for transport!

...Which brings them to the matter at hand. After some discussion, the three end up at an enormous hole...and Reira stares.]

We're in Rota! I didn't know where to start, but....

....I remembered Yuuya once said there was a big hole here, so we're at that?

The plants won't go in it....

thats right
a few years ago a bunch of people here used magic to seal monsters in
theres enough left the plants cant go in
but we cant carry the pit to where the magic needs to go
so we need to find something else!

i think
if you look at the burnt parts of the city you might find something
or you can ask the people living in the rebuilt bits

The people? I can try, but everyone is...

[Screaming. Crying. Occasionally puking petals.]

I'll say something when we find something weird, or learn about something!!

[Depending on the route Reira, Sora, and Vriska take, they will find one of the following, which the Fourth God will immediately approve:]

[If they ask people, and are persistent enough, one stressed family will hand over a bowl of shiny white metal. Though it's carved in swirling patterns, it's oddly reminiscent of Ryslig's moon.]

[If instead they search the ruins of old Rota, they will eventually find a rusted metal candleholder with the old, waxy remnants of a candle.]

[After a bit of a look over her Party Members, Reira rather swiftly decides that it's probably a good idea to not make the poor people of Rota deal with....Them. Vriska and Sora are both fairly keen on searching the ruins as it is, so they do just that.

The Candleholder is found!]

[The candle was added to your inventory! The fourth god approves, humming in Reira's head with certainty that this will stop the massive surge of power laying waste to the land.

As a note, as they leave the ruins, a particular artifact may catch their eye. It's a worn painting, dingy and molding, and it sits rotting in a pile of miscellaneous rubble. Despite the wear and tear, it clearly depicts a woman surrounded by night god imagery and other symbolism--nightshade, stars, the moon, and such. But strangely enough, she also has some monstrous features. Demonic wings, claws, a tail. . .

Unfortunately, her face is shrouded in mystery, the fabric torn away.

Disturbing the piece would only make it crumple and decay more, so all they will get is as quick glance. All the better, since there's a peninsula that needs saving right now.

Time to head back to the Silent Forest and meet up with Nagisa.]

[While disturbing it would suck, Reira does pause to commit that picture to memory.

Rather. Take a picture with the laptop feature.

OFF SHE GOES!]
