Last Call! (text, un: litanytime)

[Jessica has attempted to filter this message so that it doesn't go out to Ereshkigal, Tezcatlipoca, and Yato, but that doesn't mean she succeeded, either because someone else showed them, or because she failed at technology.]

Hello Outsiders! Got a deity or spirit or kami from home you'd like to honor? Or know of any gods here that could use a shrine? (I've already got Yato, Tezcatlipoca, and Ereshkigal covered.) Then the Shrine of Outsider Gods is here for you (or will be really soon)! I'm setting up a space for worship, and I'd be glad to help create an altar for anyone who wants one.

Just because we're far from home, it doesn't mean we should forget the things that are important to us. Everyone is welcome.

[[Jessica's shrine itself will be opening later this week (hopefully), so she's trying to make sure anyone who wants to be represented, is.]

there's nothing wrong with afterlife gods! they're working hard to take care of the dead.

but i want to make sure i'm not leaving anyone else out.

[misclassed]

I didn't say there was anything wrong with them. [ at least, not out loud... but the casual antagonism with tezcatlipoca and his inability to have a civil conversation with ereshkigal without things going off the rails might account for that.

and also maybe that whole "godslayer" thing he's got going on. (but that's his old job, it's not relevant!) ]

What are you making your shrines outta? You good on materials? There's plenty fresh timber here in the capital.

i have metal tables to set the altars up on right now. i think they're made of recycled scrap metal? it was what i could find in the city, and it'll hopefully be durable just in case. but if you have wood we could cover them with, that would look nicer.

[She was just going to have to toss tablecloths over them to cover them up.

...it's a very DIY effort, and she's working with what she can get on one relatively new-arrival's budget.]

[misclassed]

Well, that won't do. None of 'em are smith gods, so lumber would be best, and it needn't be salvage.

If you let me have the scrap when it's done, I'll make you something proper and befitting of a shrine.

[ Nobody said a blacksmith can't also be a carpenter. ]

[mace_pray_love]

...i've been doing my best...

do i have to bring them through the portal to your workshop?

[Maybe she'll be less motion-sick than last time, but she's not looking forward to the trip all the same.]

[misclassed]

Tsk. You're a shrine maiden, ain't you? Since when do they do carpentry?

[ but she's working hard and... well. that deserves credit! ]

You can if you want, but you don't gotta. I'll have one of the boys bring them to you once they're ready. There's more gods across all worlds than there are stars in the sky, so something like a butsudan for each is a good size, right? Tell me what you want, and I'll make sure it's done.

[mace_pray_love]

we don't. or, there might be some priestesses who also do carpentry, but we're not trained on it.

[Jessica's mostly been buying or scavaging beat-up, second-hand tables and hammering them back into shape, because a hammer is basically a little mace.]

well, i don't need as many as the stars, but the size you said should be ok. i think i'm up to needing 8 altars (but one of those might be a prank?) and megumi mentioned something for dead people too. i don't know if those kinds of things have the same setup as a god's shrine or not. i'll try to find out more.
