☀︎ it's a bright beautiful day to talk to a goddess ☀︎

Who: Sunyonce + everyone I dunno man
What: Sun Seance to talk to Beiwe
When: mumble mumble warm day high noon yeehaw
Where: Grove, safer
Warnings: None right now but if they come up-
[ A few hours before the sun rises to it's fullest at noon, on a day in September before the Monsters Truly Come Calling But There Might Be a Faerie Or Two when it's particularly warm, Pure Vanilla will write a post. It's quick, and to the point. ]

I believe today would be our best bet at contacting Lady Beiwe. Considering the current state of her Church and it's defilement, I feel holding it in the Grove by her statue will be the best course of action. Of course, I am open to alternatives!

[ But really, unlike the giant statue for Ourania, there is nothing else yet for Beiwe. So anyone glancing out their windows will see Pure Vanilla dutifully drawing a large magic circle with radiating lines and symbols and a spot in the middle, in the dirt. He even moves Beiwe's statue to the middle (minotaur strength, yay!) and Ouraina's statue to a spot in one of the Cardinal Directions that symbolize the moon. A place of honor. There are places left open for others to add their own symbols, their own lines, and being as how it's in the dirt, it's easily changeable as more people show up. Add your magic knowledge or find a spot to sit inside the circle if you desire to speak to Biewe.

Or make garlands of her flowers, or make Sunny D or... something. They're winging it. ]



(( like the moon seance this will mostly be a mingle until the mods come in with whether we succeed, blow up, or set the entire place on fire flamebringer. ))

[Joshua jumpscare... they're only briefly startled, though, leaning back a little when they zone back in.]

Howdy to you, too~

Neat party trick. Doesn't that make you dizzy?

Not at all.

[ Even so, he moves to right himself, sitting down in front of Loop. Well. "Sitting". He's hovering, albeit cross-legged like he's sitting. He doesn't know where anything outside has been.

A tiny white hedgehog gets - very gently! - pulled from his jacket, golden eyes focused right on Loop, tiny pink nose twitching. ]


Revati wanted to meet you.

why did it take me 10 years to tag this back. im sorry to josh specifically and also revati

[Damn... not gonna lie, they're jealous of the hovering. It's a really cool trick! Why didn't the Universe give them levitation powers?? A mysterious star-headed person who still has to scramble up trees and trip on things takes away so many cool points...

but anyway: hedgehog time. Their eyes widen a bit. Oh!]


Is this... the star? Star animal? ... Hedge-star?

[They hesitate before offering a hand to it— well, a finger. It's small! Itty bitty star creature! They don't really know what to expect from this, but they are at least trying to be respectful here.]
leggierissimo: (I am thankful that I still have a liver.)

IT'S FINE IT HAPPENS revati will be fine and josh can deal

[personal profile] leggierissimo 2024-10-01 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Mhm. He's been in my care for the better part of a year. Poor thing was very sick when I got here, but we've been working on that.

[ Revati's little pink nose wiggles, and he reaches out with his tiny snout to meet that finger. Loop's finger gets a very thorough sniffing, and then a tiny mlem to round it out. ]

He says that you don't taste like what he expected.

no i must offer a blood sacrifice in retribution

[personal profile] theuniverseleads 2024-10-01 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[A mlem....... of approval(????)

It's hard to tell if Josh is fucking with them or actually knows what the hedgestarhog is thinking, but. they will believe him, for now, if only because they have no reason to think he'd lie about this. They're really curious about it, too.]


Really! What was he expecting? Something sweeter?
leggierissimo: (He was an 80s hair band warrior.)

how about a pun sacrifice instead

[personal profile] leggierissimo 2024-10-01 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Briefly, Revati looks up - almost backwards - at Joshua. They share a silent second or two, which results in... Joshua's lips curling up at the corners. ]

He says that you must be a shooting star, because you taste a little meteor.

[ Revati, of course, seems delighted by his joke. There's an aura of satisfaction radiating from the tiny hedgehog. ]

A little—?

[oh

oh that's good]
theuniverseleads: well I went through my list of friends (040)

2/2

[They laugh, perhaps a little too hard for a joke that bad. But they walked right into it! It's a nice surprise.]

Hah! I suppose I must be! Oooh, I'll have to remember that one! [They wipe a little tear from the corner of their eye. Stardust would really get a kick out of that... the stars here don't seem very sugary, anyway. It's fitting!]

Well! It's an honour to meet you, little Shining One. You can call me Loop! [addressed to Revati, of course. They offer him a tiny bow, one hand over their star.]
leggierissimo: (Made out with a random kid at a frat.)

[personal profile] leggierissimo 2024-10-02 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a soft little 'heh', but it's entirely mentally projected. Funny enough, it isn't Joshua's voice, either. ]

No need to be so formal, but it's nice to meet you, Loop. Joshua has told me a lot about you.

[ The aforementioned Joshua shrugs, letting Revati rest on his knees. ]

I told him about the trip out to the temple. He seemed interested in meeting a star from another world.
theuniverseleads: and drop me in the middle of a labyrinth (060)

[Oh!! That also surprises them, but—it makes sense?? Wait, can they also do that with other stars?

[Hello hello! Is this thing on?]

...

Hmm! That's a no, unfortunately. They stop concentrating and hope they didn't scare Siffrin too badly with a random tutorial voice jumpscare just then. He'll be fine.

Anyway... they suddenly find themselves met with something of a theological dilemma. They are speaking with a star. An actual star! Which, despite their issues with the Universe as a whole, they do still hold in high regards! And it feels terribly rude to just... lie to his face? In this position? Particularly about also being a star.

They couldn't care less what Joshua thinks, but at least he's already seen them through the glasses. They agonize over their self-inflicted turmoil for a moment longer before laughing nervously, okay, they can't do that so]


Well! I suppose most people would call me a star... it's a little more complicated than that, though. Sorry! [apologizing for ?????? not being a real star]
