New god intro!

[oi_theoi]

Who: Mortals, gods
When: Day 13, afternoon
Where: Shrine Room
What: The other kind of new arrivals.

[a teenaged girl with intricately braided hair and dressed in sandals, a flowy, brightly-patterned skirt, and a short-sleeved sweater that looks like it was made of the leftovers of a million other sweaters, is pacing the shrine room, twisting a loop of yarn strung between her hands. A pile of reddish sand seems to move around, following her.]

Perhaps away from the corner...

[Watching, as usual. There's something interesting about seeing the gods pick their spots so carefully.]

Does it matter?

[oi_theoi]

It has to be right.

[conflicts]

Why?

[oi_theoi]

What is the use of making something if you do not do it to the best of your talent?

[conflicts]

Putting it somewhere requires talent?

[clearly he's not an interior decorator...]

[oi_theoi]

Talent to chose the spot.

[conflicts]

[He still doesn't get the importance of it, but goes silent. Maybe she'll pick a spot and he'll see for himself.]

[oi_theoi]

[she's setting up now; deciding on one of the corners]

[conflicts]

[She ended up in a corner after all... huh. He doesn't get much out of that, so he'll stay quiet as she builds her shrine.]

[oi_theoi]

Of course!

[conflicts]

[Another new god? He glances over.]

How come? Does it make you stronger?

[oi_theoi]

Stronger? No, shrines aren't really for us.

[conflicts]

So it's for us?

[oi_theoi]

Of course. They're so you can call us and acquire things.

[conflicts]

Then put it anywhere.

[oi_theoi]

Why?

[conflicts]

It doesn't matter where you put it, as long as others can see it.

[oi_theoi]

[waves his hand] Of course it matters. Everything has a place and a season, a time and a balance. If you put something casually, then people will treat it casually. Purpose gives reason and reason leads to purpose.

[conflicts]

[He takes a moment to digest that.]

Give it a reason to be there, and people will come. Is that it?

[oi_theoi]

You're thinking, that's a good start. [smiles]

[conflicts]

[Going quiet again before glancing around the room.]

Which one's yours?

[oi_theoi]

That one! [points to a mechanical device that looks like a cross between a roller coaster and the insides of mad scientist's puzzle. The beginning starts with a ramp and the end has a wooden cup waiting to receive something. There's a golden ball on a stand next to it]

[conflicts]

[That shrine actually looks pretty interesting. Cloud stares.]

It looks... different.

[oi_theoi]

Of course, I'm different. [:>]

[conflicts]

What's your domain?
