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...

No. It was rather small, actually.

You see... sometime thousands of years in the past, the people had been in danger, and their goddess, to protect them, cut off a slice of the earth and threw it into the sky. Then she created a great cloud barrier between them, so nothing from the surface could ever fly to attack them. They lived that way for a long time, peacefully, but eventually forgot that they had ever come from the surface to begin with.

Sliced a part of the earth- what a fascinating idea!

[earthward]

It was more of a desperate one, I think.

Do you think that's enough to get me my list?

[oi_theoi]

Yes. Desperation breds innovation in its own way. [pulls a handful of papers out of his pocket and hands her a parchment with everything here.]

[reads it over carefully =|a]

Sewing machine...?

[oi_theoi]

I thought people would like to create things. Like clothes. People seem not to like the idea of walking around naked.

[earthward]

So it's really a machine that does your sewing for you? I've never heard of such a thing. How does it work?

[oi_theoi]

[happy happy]

Yes! You put thread in it and when you power it up, you can use it to sew much faster than by hand! It's very useful.
