I've got a question! Since there's a lot of different gods, am I supposed to treat the ones from the religion my god is from like family? And does anyone else have animals like deer or anything else at their temples?

Oh, and does anyone know how to put a blessing on objects? My shinki can't come inside the temple, and I don't think he likes sleeping in a tent too much.

There's artwork of vultures all over my temple, but no live ones...yet. I wouldn't put it past this place. And just because you share a pantheon with another god doesn't mean they're family, or even close. Thinking they are is ridiculously naive.

[While he's being a bit abrasive, being new, he can't help but bite at the topic of blessings, though he's also not familiar enough with Artemis to realise what the problem is here.]

If your shinki can't enter your temple, how the hell would a blessing help?

[missingache]

I don't know what a vulture is, but you don't sound happy about them.

[Oh... Roxas just wanted to know if being Artemis means he's finally got a family... He's not going to reply to the family part now. Instead he feels really dumb at this moment for bringing this up despite other people answering him a lot less negatively.]

Axel says his goddess did a blessing ritual so he could come into her temple. I don't know any blessings so that's why I was asking.

[revolutionfalcon]

[He's not entirely sure how someone could not know what a vulture is, but...]

They're scavenging birds. They eat corpses and remains. I don't have a problem with them, but the last thing I need is a temple full of small, sudden-moving things.

Maybe I asked the wrong question. Why can't he get into your temple in the first place? Keeping my shinki out would be the preferable option, but you obviously don't have one of the soulless ones.

[missingache]

I've never been to a place with vultures before. Are they like buzzards? I saw those around Koriko.

The goddess I'm supposed to be, Artemis, is a virgin goddess, so I think that's why the temple doesn't want men in it. When he showed up inside the temple he was dragged outside by ghost dogs. I stopped them before they tried to tear him apart. That happened a lot to men when it came to Artemis.

[revolutionfalcon]

Not really. Vultures look a lot different to raptors. Most people would probably say they're uglier.

[Given his deck is full of them (even if they're robotic), he knows a thing or two about raptors.

He's not even sure what to say about the virgin goddess issue, except that he's suddenly very grateful his domain isn't anything like that despite him being technically a goddess.]

...Obviously she didn't believe in self-control, if she thinks that's the only way to keep people from doing that. If you could call the dogs off him, couldn't you train them not to attack him in the first place?

[missingache]

I think I'll go find a picture.

Her history with men is pretty bad.

How do you train ghost dogs?

[revolutionfalcon]

I think I could tell that from the attack dogs.

Have you tried training them like actual dogs? I haven't done it myself, but if it's your temple and they're your dogs it can't be that difficult.

[missingache]

I haven't even tried to see if I can get them to show up.
It's not like I have a ghost dog whistle.

[revolutionfalcon]

You don't need a dog whistle to attract dogs. Any loud and commanding enough sound will do. Not everyone can whistle that loud on their own, but I highly doubt you can't clap.

[missingache]

[.... second by second he is liking this guy less and less.]

I can whistle and clap.

[revolutionfalcon]

Then you don't need a dog whistle, do you?
