Ah… I have a question… a bit of a poll to propose to the Grove.

Given my appointment as Priest of Ourania-sama, I think …it is possible weddings fall into my duties? I will do further research on it… but I suppose I would like to know how the Grove might feel about a person such as I doing such sacred rites.

Ah,and I would like the opinion of the Sun Priest too, if it’s not too much to ask.

Thank you, that is all!

Hm... Does that fall under Ourania-sama's themes as a deity? I think marriage is usually one of those things that a particular deity is associated with...

Not SAYING YOU CAN'T OR ANYTHING i just don't know the gods here very well.

[timidheart]

I hadn’t considered that angle. I do not believe marriage falls under her jurisdiction but as a Priest I had wondered if officiating may be my responsibility. Particularly to those aligned with Ourania-sama…

[love_swan]

I... Think the general consensus on it at home was that it's done by someone that is spiritually or culturally important to the couple. I heard stories and stuff about marriages being officiated by friends or a parent before, so if someone wanted Ourania-sama's blessing I could see it being good to know.

[timidheart]

It seems like it’s something I should make sure is in my repertoire just in case…

I would hate for someone to come to me and I let then down…

I will look into it.

[beathollow]

From my understanding there's only the Goddesses- the Golden Sun and Silver Moon- our fallen brat, and then spirits of nature? And the Guardians, of course.

[timidheart]

Ah, so marriage should fall under SOMEONES’s jurisdiction, then. Hm…

[beathollow]

Presumably, yes.

I once attended a wedding hosted by a talking sea urchin wanted for grand larceny on three different planets.

I can't imagine you have less of a right to perform such ceremonies as her.

[ The sea urchin reading this post: :|? ]

[timidheart]

This response was a rollercoaster to read but thank you, I think… that is comforting.

…Were all of the attendees sea urchins too…?

[cryptograms]

She was the only one in attendance, I'm afraid. Thanks to the 'grand larceny' she wasn't able to return to her home planet, and most of her kind found leaving home a little difficult.

[timidheart]

Yes, that makes sense. So, then what were the people like in attendance? If- you do not mind me asking!

How does a sea urchin commit grand larceny, I wonder. A daring heist...? In the ocean...?

[cryptograms]

Most of the attendees were actually jellyfish! Different planet of origin, though.

It was certainly 'daring', though I'm not sure 'grand' or 'heist' are exactly the right words.

See, she carjacked the sea urchin prime minister.

[timidheart]

SEA URCHINS CAN DRIVE??

[cryptograms]

These ones could!

Though I think humans would struggle to drive their cars. Or anyone without quite as many pointy bits.

[timidheart]

Did the jellyfish also drive...?

[He has so many questions.]

[cryptograms]

No, they much preferred hovering everywhere.

[sailingfor]

Yes, I can drive.

[timidheart]

[sailingfor]

Correct. Change the "??" to "!!" and draw cabbage in his mouth.

[timidheart]

[sailingfor]

Sí, a perfect picture of me.

After a few hours, a silvery glittering, almost glowing script appears in swoopy but clear cursive:

𝒴𝐸𝒮!

... But the Silver Moon will not be responding beyond this blatant show of approval.

[timidheart]

[OH.]

[Well. That's A Sign, now isn't it. He needs to go visit the divine library later he thinks.]

[kingincognito]

I hadn't thought of it, but I do suppose it could be a good idea. I would think it would be very good luck indeed to have two goddesses so devoted to one another watching over such a union.

I would be glad to lend my aid, of course, though my knowledge of such rites is limited.

[timidheart]

Ah, yes, my thoughts exactly. Perhaps doing such a ritual may empower the Goddesses further?

You're very kind, thank you. I do not ...know much either, so I thought maybe I'd do some research of the traditions here.
