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.]

If you're going through all the effort, would you mind adding space for Yzak Jule?

The poor thing doesn't like to talk about it, but really he's a very underappreciated deity of judgement.

...is that really a thing, or are you trying to pull me in to some spat between the two of you?

[She's met Yzak, and while he was a little judgy, he didn't come across as divine.]

[harboredfeelings]

[ Damn, a smart one. She'll have to play this one carefully. ]

Please, I'm not that petty. I'm a follower of his myself.

[ UGH SHE FEELS SO GROSS TYPING THAT. This better pay off... ]

He doesn't like to bring it up since he no longer holds much power, but I assure you he's the most stringent judgmental being there is. An altar may help bring his divinity back.

[She rolled a 14 on an insight check so Jessica is still pretty suspicious of this request. But she did want to be open to everyone, and some people may have strange gods. So she should probably find out more.]

ok, tell me about his worship, please. does he have any special symbols or iconography? how do people pray to him or offer worship?

[harboredfeelings]

Symbolism-wise scales resting on the back of a winged whale is the main one. Other iconography is written word, mostly just declarations like "GREAT JUSTICE" "EVER SHINING". It's always larger characters.

Actual prayer is... odd. All of our benediction is done in complete silence, even ambient noise is discouraged. Offerings generally take the form of Orderly things, gray rocks, perfectly balanced pencils, but also things that break order and silence so they may be destroyed by him or at least removed from mortal hands. In this world those screaming chicken toys are particularly decent offerings.

[ Thanks for that last idea, Gigan. She misses you something fierce buddy. ]

[mace_pray_love]

[Wow, that's a lot of thought put into it if it's for a joke.]

i'm not familiar with those toys. as a worshipper of Yzak, do you have an extra you could donate?

[harboredfeelings]

[ Good thing Kaga isn't on base often anymore otherwise her sudden outburst of delighted fox laughter might he over heard and give her away. ]

Of course, I can have some delivered in the next few days.

[mace_pray_love]

perfect.

[For better or for worse, she's gonna make a shrine. And Kaga, though private messaging, used her network ID, so Jessica knows who requested it ;) Congrats on your surprise promotion to Head Priestess of Yzak.]
