NETWORK; From @MinaRA

[linkmakers]

Hello! Everyone!! Good news!!! I prayed to Braphine and it looks like she fixed the app, so it should take you straight to the Nekyia dorms where you can arrive safe and sound (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

She also said she included an extra surprise? (°□°；) I still don't know what she meant by that, but... I think it should probably be fine! Probably!!

As always, please let me know if there is any other way I can assist (≧▽≦)/

[OOC: So the good news is, Mina has prayed to the goddess Braphine to fix the Nekyia app! Characters who use the app to visit the alternate world will find themselves deposited in the Nekyia version of the dorms, a safe zone from which they can venture into other parts of that alternate world.

The bad news is, that's not all the goddess did. Unbeknownst to characters, she has gifted certain characters with a sense of camaraderie - in this case, by lowering the emotional walls people place between themselves and others. This manifests in unfiltered honesty - not compulsively, not even through a feeling one might fight against, but a simple feeling of such ease and comfort around other player characters that allows the honest truth to slip out as naturally as anything else they may normally say to a trusted confidant, no longer having to worry about matters of image or secrecy. This is an optional effect - feel free to play with it in any threads taking place from 8/17 to 8/23! It may also wear off before then if so desired, or take effect on and off during that time period - whatever suits your needs to wring fun details out of your characters.

As a reminder, if you have unlocked them, Level 10 skills are available on all threads taking place today and onward!]

[ Much later when he's no longer affected by the "extra surprise"-- ]

Tell your goddess to go fuck herself.

[linkmakers]

That's not very nice!

[ushirono]

Good. I wasn't being nice.

[linkmakers]

But she's doing her best!

[ushirono]

The bar for that is in hell.

[imperiosity]

you know, you're doing a pretty shit job of convincing me this goddess gives a damn about any of us

anyways, did you even try to ask her what this 'surprise' was?

[linkmakers]

She wouldn't say, but I'm sure it's nothing bad.

The weapons and the daily allowance are gifts from her too. And so were the snacks when we went to the Nekyia!

[imperiosity]

...so, another impromptu trip into that shithole?

also I know you've got your head up her ass and all, but giving us the bare minimum to survive isn't as impressive as you're making it out to be

[kandata]

Thank you for your efforts.

[Polite as always, Kirumi is!]

Do you have any idea why the goddess continues to not give you any precise information?

[It's starting to seem to Kirumi Braphine is messing with Mina]

[linkmakers]

She's probably busy?

[kandata]

Does she have many responsibilities these days?

[How do deities work? No idea]

[unweathered]

Oh, then I can finally say this to her: Mangia merda e muori

[linkmakers]

I'm afraid to ask

But what does that mean

[unweathered]

Oh. It wasn't translated. Let me do so:

Eat shit and die.

[goei]

That's cool and all, but is she ever gonna like, actually show her face?
I'm still gonna do what I've been asked to do and all...

but the more she talks to us through you the less respect I have for her, and I only got so much patience for a master I don't respect, y'know?

[linkmakers]

Maybe if you make an offering to her at her temple?

I know a couple people now were going to try that but I don't know if they ever did.

[goei]

An offering? I already drank the sake I came here with though.

[umurice]

You prayed to the goddess without telling me? I wanted to see if I could speak with her too!

[He thought you were his friend... Traitor...]

[linkmakers]

I'm sorry! It was kind of an emergency...

[umurice]

An emergency? Was it due to the attacks?

@aegirintraining

[pharology]

Praying actually gains you a response?

[Why did he not think of that before???]

[linkmakers]

Sometimes? I guess?

[pharology]

If I had known, I would have done so at the temple.

[metagame]

Thanks, Mina.

I can't imagine it's easy being a priest and cult leader in this day and age...

I might be 3,000 years out of practice, but let me know if you ever need help.

[linkmakers]

wait what do you mean cult
