003. [Video/Action for Goldenrod City] (hella backdated to like Oct. 3rd)

[foolishwren]

<sub>[THERE ARE LOTS OF WET SLAPPING NOISES. Someone is vigorously painting something with a large brush, slinging thick strokes of blue across a wooden surface.]

[The project was apparently nearing completion already by the time the camera was turned on, because it's only a couple of seconds before the view steps back, revealing:]



[Anyone who's been doing any wandering in suburban Goldenrod lately may know about the weird, otherwise-nice house that has suddenly started getting its windows boarded up and had candles sprouting all over it like little glowing mushrooms. WELL, THIS IS THAT WEIRD HOUSE'S DOORWAY, AND NOW IT HAS A SPOOKY-LOOKING DEMONIC BLUE SYMBOL ON THE FRONT DOOR.]

[The camera whips around. The painter is Heather! She looks pissed. Whether that's funny or scary depends on whether or not you notice the fact that her freckles are now supplemented by a bunch of blue paint flecks.]

[She has only one thing to say to the camera.]</sub>

God can kiss my ass.

<sub>[And the feed ends.]

Some sort of magic sigil or ward, I presume?

*...well he might not be Ryner's level of magic nerd but he's definitely intrigued!*

Halo of the Sun. In red, it glorifies God and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In blue, it reverses its meaning and becomes a curse on God instead.

Basically, I'm telling God to fuck off.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

I see. So then it's primarily symbolic?

Video

[foolishwren]

Basically, yeah.

It's a gesture.

A really rude, pissed-off gesture.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

So I see. Might I ask if it's directed at this god specifically, or merely his adherents?

*...because really, he's kind of amused if it's the first one, considering things*

Her.

<sub>[It surprises her, how quickly and almost snappishly her brain makes that mental correction. She's spent so many years aggressively not caring and hell, she just got finished painting a blue halo on her door.]

[And yet...]</sub>

But both.

Actually, especially the latter.

But still both.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

I see.

*the almost-snappishness doesn't phase him, nor does the correction; where he's from goddesses are nearly always called goddesses.... even if they happen to be what a human might consider male. it's complicated. but that other worlds are different isn't a surprise*

Do you think it will work?

*...that, and he's far too amused at the notion of essentially giving a god the middle finger. not that he's letting it show (much), but still, it's the principle of the thing!*

[foolishwren]

To offend the cultist?

Oh, yeah. definitely.

_{[SHE ALREADY KNOWS IT WORKED.]}

Re: Video

Well, so long as it doesn't cause any major trouble, I suppose there's no harm in it, then.

Video

[foolishwren]

Major trouble is what'll happen if he comes anywhere near this house.

As long as he stays away, I'm not about to escalate.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, so there's something of a history, then, rather than merely being a bit of a prank.

Video

[foolishwren]

Yeah.

You could say that.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

That is unfortunate, though such things are sometimes unavoidable.
