Say a little prayer for you... [video]

[The young man is lighting a cigarette, because he had some in his pocket when he'd arrived and he's dried them out and he feels like having one. He'll need more soon. At least he isn't soaking wet this time.]

So. The gods. I've heard you can ask them to answer your prayers. Make requests, like 'Can you play the Stones?', like they're Djs, only it's 'Can I have a puppy?' or 'Can I have my life back?' or 'Can I go home now?'

If you've asked the gods for something, I wanna hear it. What you asked for. Did you get it. How hard did they laugh in your face. Shit like that.

Okay, go!

They don't grant requests, but they make deals. In my experience they've always done exactly what they promised to do, and taken the promised price.

[errandry]

If you wanna make a deal for something small, just skip it.

[dignity_misery]

I wouldn't trust them.

[skintoskin]

Like making a deal with the devil?

[skintoskin]

Yeah? Have you done that?

[skintoskin]

Do you speak from personal experience?

[dignity_misery]

[She frowns slightly.]

Something like that.

[had_not_lived]

You could say that, I guess. I wouldn't ask for anything unless-- unless you really need it, unless you're willing to give something up.

[vesperian]

They honor their deals, I can tell you that much. The problem is how everyone else reacts to it.

[errandry]

Once, yeah. I know a couple other people who did it too.

It's a trade, not wish-granting.

[skintoskin]

I want to go home.

[skintoskin]

What did you ask for? Did you get it?

[skintoskin]

Did you ask them for something or not?

[skintoskin]

Uh... An example might help me here...

[skintoskin]

No 'prayers answered because I was good' shit? Figures. Have you asked for anything?

[signatures]

Personally, no, though I know of other people who have.

[dignity_misery]

[Frooowning.]

Not here.

[skintoskin]

[Huh?]

Isn't here the only place you can ask these gods for something?

[skintoskin]

Did they get what they wished for?

[dignity_misery]

These gods. There are other things that 'grant' wishes.

[signatures]

Absolutely.

But one lost his eyesight and memory for sake of it.

[skintoskin]

What? Are you kidding me?

[skintoskin]

Uh... Such as...?

[dignity_misery]

Fuck if I know. They're hard to miss when they're offering what you want.
