EPONA

[soulping]

[ You find yourself sequestered in a cave deep within Waldemar's mountain. A table and a set of chairs have been carved from the surrounding rock. Torches are set into the walls to provide light, while a faint breeze blows through cracks in the walls and ceiling to provide ventilation. There are no doors or windows to speak of.

In the center of the room are your (randomly assigned) gifts: A BASKET OF FOODSTUFFS and AN ELEGANT SWORD WITH A BEJEWELED SHEATH.

There’s an hourglass of wrought silver embedded in the wall, with ten rubies inside. Pinned beside it is an elegant tapestry featuring a crowded church service. You are part of THE PRIESTS.

Resting on the table are the following: a sheet of parchment, a quill, and a capped jar of ink. Written on the parchment is a list and three words in bold lettering:

PROTECT
TARGET
DEFEND

I don't know. . .

I suppose not. We don't have any holy water though.

[acemedium]

But we're still an elite brotherhood of priests, from the sounds of it!

[gandere]

We're not an elite brotherhood of priests!

[wingtamer]

We're not?

[gandere]

Do any of us look like we know anything about religion?

[wingtamer]

. . . .


It's hard to believe in a god when your world's been destroyed . . .

[gandere]

So we'd be pretty crappy priests.

[wingtamer]

Can anyone be good priests in Kyriakos. . .

[gandere]

Likely someone who was a true priest...

[wingtamer]

Hmm.

[also cutting the tapestry up to make hoods for our elite priest brotherhood]

Would you like one too, Miss Schooler?

[gandere]

As a team, we're expected to match.

Hand one over.

[acemedium]

What other kind of priest is there? It's not like they go around wearing sunglasses and riding motorcyles or anything like that!

[gandere]

I imagine they could if they wanted to.

[acemedium]

I don't think that would be very priestly.

[gandere]

What defines a priest? A man of worship. What he does to spread the message is of no concern to others.

[acemedium]

Don't they have some kind of stuffy boring code to adhere to?

[wingtamer]

Elite. . .

[thinking for a moment before walking to the tapestry]

[pulls it off]

[acemedium]

Whacha doing, Flame?

[wingtamer]

Just a sec.

[MESSES AROUND WITH IT, fashioning it around himself until he's made a shitty hooded cloak :B]

Ta-daaa.

[acemedium]

[!!!!!]

Wow, good thinking! Can you make one for me too?!

[wingtamer]

[DEBATES]

[THINKING VERY HARD]

[. . . .

takes our GIFT SWORD and begins working, cutting the tapestry up]

[acemedium]

[FLAME IS SO GOOD AT FASHION]

Alright!

[gandere]

[ I can't believe this is happening. ]

[acemedium]

How about it, Schooler? Want to be part of the elite priesthood?
