TO: EVERYONE [mid-event #20]
[ This message is sent for all Summoned to see about a week after the dreams and Heralds made their presence known. ]
Hello everyone. I know we're all dealing with a lot right now, but I thought this was worth the surprise eyeball-script.
The Heralds of War likely need no introduction at this point, but some of us still remember when they first arrived a few years ago after a poorly performed ritual in Solvunn. During that time, I'd managed to make contact with Koth and have tried to maintain some communication.
[ Not necessarily advised--Himeka did this of her own accord and curiosity. Those who are aware of her tree-form may have noticed that some of the limbs have been wilting and rotting the more time she's spent reaching out to Koth. But that's neither here nor there. ]
She's not always easy to understand, but when we spoke when they first appeared, one word came through:
"Mission"
For years my friends and I have been wondering what this meant. Now that she's back, I sought clarity. Or...I guess confirmation.
I understand her more easily these days so I reached out to her earlier today and she did confirm that this is that mission. What's happening right now in all of our communities. I'm not sure if war itself is inevitable...but she seems to believe that what she's doing will help there to be peace afterwards.
I know many here have seen war in their own lives and on their own stars before this place. If you'd like to share your stories, I would welcome them. I don't think peace is ever as simple as we want it to be, but as for if this is the only path forward...
I'm rambling a bit. This may not be a grand revelation, but I thought it important to share that what is happening now may have been building for the last few years and mayhaps some time before that as well. Only now, we may have a part to play.
Please take care,
水

[ At least that's Julie's takeaway, after three years in Abraxas. ]
13 isn't really an evil number in my world, just unlucky. Or at least that's what people believe. Enough that some buildings don't have a 13th floor, or people will change things so that they use 12 or 14 instead. I don't really know why that's the superstition, but enough people are so afraid of 13 that we have a word for the fear. But I don't know the exact word off the top of my head, it's "13 in Greek (or maybe Latin?)"-phobia.

Really! I suppose it could be a coincidence, but I feel there are so few when it comes to the people who ended up here. Symbols themselves have power, don't they?

I'd originally thought the old gods here were similar, but it's turned out a little more complicated than that, hasn't it?
no subject
Some people believed in other gods, but from what I know, there was only the one uppercase-G God that actually existed.
He was a fucking asshole, too. Refused to save people who begged Him, people who didn't do nothing wrong, then destroyed half the survivors cause they found someone else who actually listened and tried to help. Fuck that God.
The gods here seem to just kinda exist. Like, they don't care much if people do or don't follow rules, or constantly pray or whatever. They just wanna do their own thing, like normal people.
no subject
I do think that at least some of the gods here are like that, yes. The ones I've met seem content to do what they need to do.
