@Double Capybara I found something you might find interesting- A prototype waifu-realising technology.

Hot mists billowed up from the ground like pillars, forming an awesome skyscape of cloud and water. The Djinn led the way, both in direction and pace; Sometimes he performed sweeping dives through the geyser plumes, neither watching nor caring for the comfort of his guest. If Phi couldn't keep up with his flight, then she wasn't worth his time.

"Once again, Painter, I must question your motives in this exchange." Viscount Phlegethon spoke evenly and assertively, even as his cloudy body flew at tremendous speed over the volcanic plateau. "Should I ignore your words entirely, and establish myself as an elemental prince in your so-called 'Holy Land' without assistance, reigning or tormenting as I alone please, what then of your plans? What stand you to gain from such ostensible generosity?"

It was tricky for Phi to resist teasing the elemental with her speed. A gentle cruise for the avatar would be breakneck to mortals. Even djinni. She nearly giggled.

"If the idea is so appealing to you, o Viscount, then for the good gods' sake, do it!"

What language of gods? XD To my knowledge, the Gods can simply make it so no one can understand them when talking if they want. I don't think there's an established common language of the Gods yet...

EDIT: unless you mean each God's personally created language... in that case i don't really know how to feel about this.

@Vec

It's been established that gods speak the 'First Tongue', a universally comprehensible language. Lifprasilians and Sculptors speak it too, if they so choose, and others can be taught if they spend enough time around gods or heroes. Tira was picking up the First Tongue at a very brisk clip until the Godkiller destroyed her Sculptor cells; Now she has to relearn it at a normal pace.

Left to themselves, though, other populations that speak the First Tongue will eventually lose the capacity for it and evolve their own unique language thanks to Ilunabar's creative magic.

We love you, too, Logy-boo.

@Muttonhawk

Speaking of, whenever you feel like you can crawl out of whatever wifi-less underground sweatshop cell you're stuck in this time, Toun and Teknall can come try to talk to Jvan, who has been in 4am hangover mode for several weeks because Logos turned out to be better at drinking games than she was.

The herd elder watched with a hard focus, resting her ancient basalt face on the back of her hand as she sat. Somewhere between the deep pockmarks that roughened her head lay old red eyes that had seen much, and judged well.

Around her was the herd, arranged in a circle, smallest pebbles to the fore. Their parents looked over their shoulders, no less interested. On their backs rested wooden struts that held baskets, leather platforms, racks, even crates; And in them crystals, aromatic wood, horn and skulls, seeds, salts. These were trading Urtelem, for they had found a Sculptor. And that Maker, whose name began with Star-Gazing-Just-Before-The-Dawn, stood now on her three legs like a translator between the elder and the strangers.

As they all watched together, Star-Gazing had done many strange things with his geomancer's touch. Had pulled metal out of malachite, fused sand into rock-glass and then back again into sand, spun pebbles in the air so quickly that they could be used to light fires against wood. All this was effortless work in the shadow of the Maker, from whom huge amethyst crystals grew against a supple skin of flowering haematite rosettes.

On his other side sat the second Maker, a heavy, six-legged being with auburn feathers and a face like an owl's mask. Halo alloys glinted from their neck, and from the gilded orb they carried emerged a spirit made of light.

'I do not mean to tempt you with my offer, friends. This is no attempt to dazzle you, or take you for fools. I speak honestly, for deception is not part of your way.'

The spirit spoke by moving itself, forming patterns. Though she was an alien thing, she was beautiful, and every word they read was perfectly clear.

'All this is simply my way of showing you the future, and the earnestness of my plea. Your herd is aloof, as are many others of the earthen folk, for this is natural. Though you may stay by a village for a hundred years, you may yet find the desire to wander, for your love is given to the whole world and the family that reads it beside you.

'And yet I offer you something that is not family, but like it. I am building a people of many tongues and many ways, weaving the sands of a hundred disciplines into a single stone. You know you can offer much, and much you have- The strength of your arms and the magic of your eyes, the wit of your brains and the peace of your hearts.

'So, too, I can offer much to you. I am Composer of the Light; It was I who wrote the steps of the Distant Dance. I offer you art and sorcery, culture and prayer. I offer you fellowship with the other folken, a chance to teach and a chance to learn. The thrill of ambition. These you will find in the Holy Land. Only consider adopting yourselves to the grand family.'

The elder stared at the fleshless being, this Chiral Phi who had solved every riddle in a heartbeat, who spoke to the Maker from afar, whispered songs that chilled the heart with awe. And slowly she signed: 'We will go, and we will see.'

"It's working. It's happening." The all-seeing light swirled and writhed in its psychic trap, the eldritch tangle of photons that was Phi. Her voice swelled, thrilled to the point of explosion into screams and mirth. Old Walker listened to the fell god without watching.

"Huuoooom."

Phi choked on her own escaping giggles and shrieked with laughter. The sound carried far between the valley walls, distorted by its own echoes until it was no more than a measured, solitary note in the night.

In all seriousness, though, we are definitely focusing more on storytelling rather than just creating. I know I am, at least.

I think Violet is cute actually. If Helvana can keep it from killing her crows she'd probably take it for herself.

Then again, I am a few posts behind and I don't know what Violet's been up to after it escaped the attack on the Hain village.

@Slime

Violet isn't all that bloodthirsty when alone, so saying 'please' would probably suffice.

Summary contains the deets.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

Gladly! Have her wander into one of the many Wars of Galbar that we currently we have in session, and watch her body get annihilated.

@LokiLeo789

I TRIED THAT

IT DIDN'T WORK

AND NOW VIOLET'S A DEATH MAGE

I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE THIS CHARACTER ANY MORE POWER

For real, though, there's precious little future plot associated with the poorly-named floof at the moment. If anyone needs a magical scarf with daddy issues and ketchup(?) stains give me a holler.

Violet is getting so much hate :( even her mommydaddy hates her

@Kho

Good.

That was a precise and deliberate operation on their brains.

@Muttonhawk

well
