Week 2

[It's been about a week since the Champions woke up in their new consumerist hellscape of a temporary home and, despite a few odd goings on and the bomb incident with Church and Nari, things haven't been as bad as they could be. No one is even dead yet! But let's see how long that lasts.

Enjoy your week, Champions.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

(( Also, don't forget to submit your AC and item rolls! You can also bother your Overseer here. ))

Oh. Arianna.

[ Why does it feel right to drop the "miss?" ]

...Mm. Maybe that'd be nice. I just... Have responsibilities.

[ She has a goddess tree to tend to? ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

I think most of us do. I was trying to impress on her that we don't even know how we got here and that going back might not actually be in the cards, but hey, if I got the chance to go dimension-hopping to other words, I'd take it.

[desperateprayer]

...I've a special tree I need to care for, so I hope I get to go back.

[ She's got a special kind of fondness in her voice. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

...You're really into arbology huh. Or. Herbology? Tree-ology. Plant person. Greenhouse girl.

[desperateprayer]

...Botany. And ah, n-no. It's... Mm. I'm a nun, right? ...The order I serve with... Our sect's deity is known as Held. I... ...I had someone special to me. It turns out she was a forest spirit under Him. She incarnated as a human, but that self died and... She incarnated into a tree, to be the successor to Held and to become the new deity of our sect. She's still just a sapling.

[ ...Yeah. Yeah, Church. She is in love with someone who is now a tree. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

...So your best friend turned into a tree who's gonna be a goddess. As a tree.

...

That's rough, buddy.

[desperateprayer]

Is a goddess, yes.

[ She'll turn a page and doodle. There's two dragons and a tree drawn with names by them. Levia, Behemo, Held/Mikaela. ]

...Levin religion has three deities, and different sects worship different ones as a primary deity. The Held sect worships the Millennium Tree, Held, who is now Mikaela. The Levia sect is the most wide-spread but I have... A lot of problems with their worshipers. History with them. The Behemo sect has unfortunately become associated with demon worship. The Held sect was demonized until a few hundred years ago, when Prime Minister Gumina Glassred, the first woman prime minister of Elphegort and the reason women have better lives there, became an avid follower and popularized it in her own right.

[motherfucking_ghost]

If two of them are dragons, how'd you get a tree out of it instead of, like, another dragon? [You can't make the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon without three of them!] Just, it seems like there was a theme going on, and then...tree happened instead.

...Your buddy's a tree goddess. [Yeah he's...he's stuck on that part still, give him time.]

[desperateprayer]

Levia and Behemo are twins. Held is an earth god. ...But yes, Mikaela is a goddess.

[ So Church, are you starting to catch onto the "holy bad coping mechanisms, Batman" part yet ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[He sees no bad coping mechanisms here. Only...a person turning into a tree.]

Are there other gods or it's just those three?

Wait. How do you know she's a tree now? Like. Did you see her actually become a tree through tree magic?

[desperateprayer]

...I was entrusted her sapling because of our feelings for each other by Miss Elluka. Because her friend, Miss Gumillia, didn't accept this, she brought forth the spirit from the sapling and projected her. We... Finally voiced how we felt. And Mikaela has been in my care since. Miss Elluka... Only thought it right I do the caring.

[ ...She misses Mikaela so much, as a person. But they both have important jobs to do. ]

And it's only the three in Levin religion.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Magic in your world is wild.

So she can't like talk or move or anything. She's just an ordinary tree? That her...spirit is trapped in. [sure sounds fucking horrible]

[desperateprayer]

Mikaela was always patient. I don't think she minds. Our lives are... A blink of an eye to here, I imagine.

[ Listen she very clearly misses her. ]

Oh! But she can talk, occasionally. Once the tree is bigger she'll be able to do it more.

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Listen. He's trying really hard not to make a treefucking joke in front of the nun. Trying really, really hard.]

So you're gonna live with a tree until you die and then get buried under her.

[desperateprayer]

...I'm not sure it's appropriate to be buried beneath a sacred tree.

[ Please don't or you'll have to go to trial Church ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

...But the tree is your girlfriend. Who is a tree goddess.

[desperateprayer]

I still don't think that's appropriate. I'll be happy having cared for her.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Who's gonna object to it? She's a goddess! She'll just smite anyone who has a problem with it.

[desperateprayer]

Mm... I think I'd actually like to be buried by my mother. She... shouldn't have to be alone, either. And if I do my job right, Mikaela won't be alone, even if I'm not with her.

[motherfucking_ghost]

She'll have everyone that worships her treely form.
