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...

There is starch here.

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah, those little potato things. But I wanna make sandwiches.

[oi_theoi]

It's a chance for you to be creative then!

[pencilpremonition]

I think... I'm not gonna give up on hoping for bread.

[oi_theoi]

If you insist. [disapproving look]

[pencilpremonition]

There's nothing wrong with hoping for good things.

[oi_theoi]

Good is a matter of perspective.

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah. I take it you don't like bread?

[oi_theoi]

What does that have to do with something being good?

[pencilpremonition]

You're the one who keeps looking disgusted when I bring it up.

[oi_theoi]

Hm? I think you're ignorant not disgusting.

[pencilpremonition]

I never really had a chance to go to school.

[oi_theoi]

That doesn't stop you from learning.

[pencilpremonition]

I like to learn important stuff. Stuff I'll actually use.

[oi_theoi]

Now that's not ignorance, that's stupidity.

[pencilpremonition]

How is that stupid?

[oi_theoi]

You can't judge something you don't know. You can't find a use for something you refuse to learn. A stupid person is the worse because your head is dead inside. [frowns]

[pencilpremonition]

I'm not stupid! But why should I have to learn the names of countries I'll never go see, or what happened hundreds of years before I was born? Those are the kind of things I don't wanna learn.

[oi_theoi]

The wheel of time turns again and again. Maybe if you bothered learning this "useless" knowledge, you'd know why you needed to learn it.

[pencilpremonition]

Nobody can learn everything. I'd rather learn useful stuff. Like how to cook and how to make money last so I can keep my brother fed and clothed.

[Not that her brother's HERE, mind...]

[oi_theoi]

Yes, yes, like bread? [looking disappointed] You've told me already.

Learning is eternal.

[pencilpremonition]

Nobody can learn everything. I have better things to do with my time.

[oi_theoi]

Yes, time...should talk Leedin about that...time. [getting distracted and starts wandering off now towards the other shrines]

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah, fat lot of help you are.

[oi_theoi]

[doesn't hear you, sorry.]
