sticksandbones | ☀︎ 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. ))

[ PV's def gonna!!! Magic is very fun- chances are he'll catch Jade using it day to day just to keep his skills up. ]

Ah, let me rephrase. There is a God in my history that is a bit more renown than the others. I can't say I've had contact with any in my world, let alone him.

[ He lets out a little chuckle. ]

It would be quite interesting to pick the brains of the Great Seven, though but they're all long gone by this point.

Oho, I see. It would seem quite a few worlds have Gods that create, and then step back. Very few continue to interact with their creations after the fact.

[ With Witches, he has to be thankful over that, learning what he has about them. Well, mayhap not the Originals, but the ones that White Lily met. He studies Jades additions thoughtfully, memorizing them. ]

May I ask you a rather odd question, my friend?

That they do.

[ Perhaps he'll have to brush up on Gods in Twisted Wonderland again. Well, if he decides to. Though he perks at PV's request. ]

Of course.

Thank you for humoring me.

[ Yet he's silent, thoughtful still, his mind on the Gods. Ourania has so far been kind and loving, Beiwe is said to be a fierce protector. Suri... ]

If you did meet your Gods - those that shaped you with their own hands, breathed life into you - and it turns out they have only created you for misery and their own selfish desires, what would you do? If anything?

Hm... Quite the intricate question.

[ Jade pauses for a moment, thinking. ]

[ His face turns a little more sinister as he speaks, sharp teeth glinting and becoming more pronounced in his smile. ]

For one? I'd envy them a little bit. It's not unlike terrariums- sticking various flora into a container and watching it grow, only to have the ability to choose what lives and dies on a whim. The feeling must be nothing short of intoxicating for omniscient beings bored out of their minds. We're their entertainment, after all.

...Still, I pity them. Should they have created me for this specific purpose - to entertain them - they've effectively created another person who will aid in their eventual downfall. I don't enjoy others making decisions for me.

I'm probably a bit hypocritical, but I'm also curious about what happens after the fall of a God.

[ Jade's face goes back to his more default, polite smile. It doesn't quite reach his eyes. ]

...Perhaps that may not be the answer you're looking for, but that's my two cents on the matter.

[ Well, that certainly is an answer. It reminds him strongly of White Lily. A fierce denial of anyone controlling or using them, and a desire to learn something that many would consider taboo, or forbidden.

... No. It reminds him more of Dark Enchantress Cookie. It sends a little shiver up his spine. He shakes his head and offers a tiny smile despite it. ]

No, my friend, thank you for your candor. It is not an opinion I have not heard before. It brings some things into perspective in my own world. I am glad it seems the God's here have only love in their hearts for us.

[ Mismatched eyes catch that tiny shiver, but Jade doesn't react, other than a little nod in reply to Pure Vanilla's thanks. ]

Certainly. I am grateful for that as well. They've been quite helpful from what I've gathered here and there. As well as the guardians, of course.

[ He's not been here for too long, so he's still learning about all of the goings-on of the Grove. ]

Indeed, the guardians are as helpful as they have been able to be.

[ Is he in the wrong? Should he have joined Dark Enchantress Cookie, and thrown out the Witches that tormented them? Of course, a sample size of two is not that big, but that someone else holds Dark Enchantress' ideals. Ah, familiar self doubt. ]

... I am glad that you are willing to do what must be done, my friend. I am afraid it may come down to your ideals here in the end.
