[pencilpremonition]

[I'll be here. I'm like a tutorial NPC, man.]

[leapsandbound]

[hang on he beat me to it]

[feelings, feelings are happening]

[pencilpremonition]

[Okay after about ten minutes I might at least be confident he's not hostile enough to sit in front of the shrine.]

[leapsandbound]

[well ... okay]

[giving you an inquisitive look, now that ... the moment has passed ...]

[pencilpremonition]

So did your friends tell you about this place or do you still need the newbie speech?

[leapsandbound]

[smiles, easily]

I'm dead, right?

[pencilpremonition]

Yep.

Shrine room, gods, don't eat the food, get an apartment, get stuff, kill stuff, need me to expand on any of that?

[leapsandbound]

[....]


Yeah! ... all of that!

[pencilpremonition]

Okay, here we go. Gods here are good gods, they're not crazy people eaters. You don't have to worship 'em. That display over there lists who the gods are, what they give out, and what they take. You get stuff from 'em in exchange for bringing 'em stuff or doing stuff for 'em. Dellen's the easiest--be nice to other people is all it takes.

[leapsandbound]

[nods ... following along intently ...]

Okay! ... but what are gods?

[pencilpremonition]

...Y'dunno what that word means?

[leapsandbound]

Not really, should I?

[pencilpremonition]

It's fine, it's uhm. Gods are really powerful beings. They're immortal, and they can be everywhere at once, even if you can't see 'em. They rule over domains like 'water' or 'electricity' or 'art', and you can get stuff in their domains from them. Make sense?

[leapsandbound]

So, like masters of their Roads ... I think I get it!

[pencilpremonition]

I dunno about those, but I guess? If you understand, close enough.

[leapsandbound]

It's okay if you don't get it.

So, if I put my hand out like this - [shoves one hand out to the side and starts turning it in a circle, arm locked straight out, like a turning wheel] - I might be touching a god's breasts?

[hehheh.]

[pencilpremonition]

[giggle]

Maybe.

[leapsandbound]

[puts her hand lower, to crotch level ...]

Then I suppose I should make sure it's actually rewarding for 'em, right?

[pencilpremonition]

[giggling]

You'd like Gerasimos...

[leapsandbound]

[stops, after ... concluding the pantomime ... properly ... imaginary gods gotta get off sometimes too '-']

Who's Gerasimos?

[pencilpremonition]

God of Sex.

[leapsandbound]

There's a god of sex?

[pencilpremonition]

Yep.

[gesturing at his shrine]

[leapsandbound]

Huh!

[pencilpremonition]

There's gods of all sorts of stuff, and there's new ones coming sometimes.
