[Netbook] ♧ ♣

[timidheart]

...I am uncertain how to begin this entry. Please bear with me if this sounds deranged and unreasonable...

I ...I believe I was visited by the wretched creature who torments us. He spoke contemptuously to me and threatened my life but ... that is not what I am worried about.

I have to apologize to this town at large because ....I had been given a task that I have been struggling to fulfill on my own and with this monster's taunting I am worried my failure will have grave consequences.

Ssso...

[It's a little clear here that Mayoi's hands are shaking a lot writing this.]

Ourania-sama has named me her priest. I would like assistance in assembling her a proper shrine a-and ...and leading others in prayer. Giving her strength may help protect us from whatever that monster plans to do. For her sake and not my own I...I ask for help. Please.

Ah, so our Captor has indeed been reaching out again, and it was not merely a bad dream. I had hoped with its seeming sleep, as well as it's previous silence, it would not again.

I would be most glad to help, but I must stress something. Do not listen to it's words. It feeds off of fear, anger, and doubt, and sows it in extra measure. You will not fail.

[timidheart]

Did you receive a similar dream as well...?

It ...It did not tell me anything I didn't already know, so ...do not worry. My own shortcomings are things I am very aware of... which. Which is why I am reaching out. It would be one thing for me to fall into damnation but I'll not be responsible for dragging others down, too.

[purevanillacookie]

Yes, I believe so, though previous placed wards seem to have prevented it from interacting with me.

No, my dear. Do not think so lowly of yourself. Were you truly as you think, as the False Sun claims, Ourania would not have chosen you. She would not have placed her faith in you to be her strength. Believe in what Ourania saw in you.

Yet I will not deny a cry for aid. Speak with Loop and ask him to teach you the dance he saw in his vision to worship the Goddesses, so you may lead others in it. As for a shrine, perhaps something set up in the Northern portion of the Grove? We have reclaimed it, after all, and I believe it will [ be a big fuck you to Suri ] help bolster and extend our protections further.

There is also, I believe, her old Church we may find and fix up. Mizuki may have the map that shows its possible location.

[Ah, words like that are so hard to accept and he struggles for some time with how to respond. He does not want to throw back PVs kindness, but that urge inside him to refute is quite strong. After some wrestling he comes out on top, braces himself, and tries to embody what Ourania wants from him.]

I...I will try. The last thing I desire is to sully her faith in me. She ...She did choose me, so I cannot let her down. E-Even if talking to people is scary and I am no good at it.

A dance...? Ah, I will reach out to them, thank you. A dance is something I can learn and teach with ease. I will look into the northern part of town, as well. She told me of her church being quite far away, which I believe is why she wants a shrine in town. In time ...I think it would be nice to take pilgrimages out there to visit it, however. P-Provided of course, that there is anyone who would follow me out there.

[purevanillacookie]

Trying is all she will ask, I am sure of it. But I have faith in you, my dear. You will do just fine. And most importantly, you are not alone. We are here with you.

A pilgrimage once we have a location here in town established sounds wonderfully, I am sure many will follow you.

[ Says Jesus Cookie who literally had others following him on his own Pilgrimage. ]

For now, one step at a time. The easiest will be to first talk to Loop. Once you have that done, you can think about other things.

[ ... Sigh, like priestly garbs... from Ain... ]

[timidheart]

[He does make a note that at least someone things the idea is a valid one. He is learning a lot from making this entry. It's giving him places to start.]

I am ...ever grateful by the hands extended in this place, despite it's horrors. I do not deserve the kindness, but I am glad to have it all the same.

I will begin putting things into motion as quickly as possible...! I will speak to Loop as soon as I can. Thank you for your assistance.

[purevanillacookie]

Aha you do deserve the kindness, my dear. You have ever been helpful and kind, and from what I have heard you did a great deed at the beach to keep the young dragons safe. You deserve far more than mere kindness.

Of course, my dear. And may I say? I am quite proud of you. It matters not how - or why - you have taken the first step, merely that you have, for there is no greater and more daunting a challenge than that first one when it comes to matters such as big as this.

[timidheart]

[He is being suffocated in kindness, and it is going to kill him, he simply cannot handle bright and shiny people like this, he's so glad this was over the netbook because he would have disintegrated into dust had this been said to him in person.]

Your words are very kind and I think they will be the death of me but at least it will be a nice death. Thank you

[purevanillacookie]

[ Someday, Mayoi, you will realize your worth. ]

Haha, if you do not like it, I will cut back on it so as to not overwhelm you. I do believe you had a similar reaction in the Clinic. Forgive me.

[theuniverseleads]

[Ohhhhh stars why is the Healer putting them on the spot like this?? They didn't even really do anything that time, everyone else had it figured out already...

but it would be rude to ignore this, after Pure Vanilla gave them a recommendation. so.]

Hello hello, Loop speaking! How may I help you on this wonderful new page?

[timidheart]

Ah... Loop-san...

[Let's pretend last month did not happen?? ok.]

Pure Vanilla-san said that you received a vision of a dance used for the Goddesses. Is this true...?
