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

[[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.]

yeah
he doesn't want to seem arrogant

he used to be much bigger and more of a force of nature
being here changed that since he's had a more human perspective

I want him to feel appreciated

[mace_pray_love]

then we'll make it happen! what are his symbols? is there a special way people should worship at his shrine?

[saudadist]

[ Jessica gets a ping and a symbol is sent to her inbox. ]

offerings are simple
homecooked food, like rice or fish
something people would be able to make with their own hands

for more complicated offerings...
seeds left over from planting something
egg shells from hatchlings they've raised
some kind of proof they've been taking care of plants or wildlife

as for a prayer...

"Godzilla, King of Titans, please accept this offering and give your protection for-"

well, whatever they want protected
whether it's a person or place or even if they just want to borrow his courage

I can get you some scales too if they would be good decoration for an altar


...also, kindly keep me anonymous if asked who wanted this set up
I don't need any acknowledgement

[ She'd be absolutely embarrassed if he found out she came up with this, after all. ]

[mace_pray_love]

[Scales? Is it to measure something? Jessica still hasn't figured out that Godzilla is a giant lizard.]

that all sounds great! if you think scales would be good decoration, then bring them by the shrine location [she'll send a ping of the coordinates] or by my room.

and don't worry, i'll keep it a secret if you want. although i bet he'd be really happy to know someone is watching out for him like you are.

[saudadist]

I'm just glad to see him happy
that's all the thanks I need

ah, got the location
I'll bring the scales soon
he sheds them like crazy sometimes so there'll be plenty to use

[ Put his scales on a scale. If your soul is heavier than his scale, he'll eat your heart or something. ]

[mace_pray_love]

[Wow, he must be really serious about the fish offerings if he sheds scales.]

ok, if you're sure. i'll get to work on setting things up.

[saudadist]

I'm sure

this means more to me than I can put into words

so

thank you

[mace_pray_love]

you're welcome! i think it's important, for both the gods and mortals, so i'm glad to help.

[saudadist]

[ This lady's so nice. Like genuinely nice. Even now this kinda stuff takes her aback. ]

if you need any help keeping the shrines clean I'll help too
least I can do

[mace_pray_love]

thanks. a devoted follower helping keep it tidy will definitely make any god or titan happy!

does this sound ok for the plaque for the altar? i tried to write it the way he writes.

“Godzilla, the King of Titans 👑 🦖. Pray to him 🙏 for protection from danger. Make an offering of rice 🍚 or fish 🐟 prepared by your own hands 👐, or seeds 🌰, eggshells 🐣, or other representations of your care for the natural world 🍃🌏. Live in harmony with nature, and he will lend you his courage and protection 💪 in your times of need.”

let me know if you think i should change anything.

[saudadist]

looks good to me

I'll bring all the physical decor you need and it'll be perfect
