open: worship me

[forceofnature]

[ley line]

Behold! Assorted sentient apes of the Void!

I come bearing good tidings for all. I, the Great Goddess Viridi, Beloved Nurturer of All Life, She Whose Gentle Majesty is Incomparable and Whose Praises Shall be Sung on the Tongues of Songbirds for Time Immemorial, have deigned to create for you mortals a physical space in which you might offer me worship and adoration. Our -- my shrine is finally finished to perfection!

In return, I shall solve all your problems with my wisdom accumulated from across the ages. For a small nominal fee of ten to fifty seeds, sprouts, or cuttings of any fruit, flower, vine, bush, or flora of your choice, you, too, can benefit from my divine genius.

Love problems? Love yourself first! Lack of motivation? Hit the gym! Despairing at ever returning home from this featureless depressing waste of a world? Join the club and go pour down some single malt whiskeys.

For a testimonial as to the efficacy of my brilliant wisdom, please refer yourselves to:

-That one guy crying on the mountain
-Captain Capitalism, a.k.a. Kaiba boy
-Or Parsee

Oh speaking of -- go worship Parsee, too. This was technically her shrine first before it merged with the other stuff. I'm a fair goddess. Hey Parsee mind if I invite a bunch of people over to our shrine not hearing a no thanks Parsee!

See? It's a win-win. I'll take any vegetables or flowers you have in exchange for one divine gift. Preferably seeds or sprouts.

[she clearly wants to grow her own.]

...I don't know what the gift does, bee tee dubs, but it's sure to be something amazing.

[bazooker]

I'm sure it will and especially if it is coming from a goddess!

[Although, Haru does have to admit, she didn't know just what she could do but...]

Are you at the shrine? I could deliver something to you right now!

[forceofnature]

That would be exactly why I made this announcement. Making a run to the top of the 'Tolerable Humans' list, I see! Good go-getting.

[the list is currently:
haru]

I'm at the shrine most of the time. Living in an apartment with you all feels uncouth.

Sorry for the late replies!

[bazooker]

Uh...

[She said trying to respond back. Once again, that certainly wasn't a response she was expecting!]

Do living with humans really bother you? You never know what you can learn by living with them!

no problem at all!

[forceofnature]

I don't need to live with them to learn that it's a bad idea to mingle with them. Divinity shouldn't associate too loosely with mortality. Like in a classroom, if the teacher is too nice, the kids get out of control.

[...]

Anyway, come on by!

[bazooker]

I wouldn't say that, humanity can be rather interesting sometimes.

[But again, that was her being optimistic. However, if Viridi wasn't willing to agree with her, Haru wouldn't argue against it.]

I do intend to! I'm on my way!

[With that, off Haru went to grab her flower plant before making her way to the shrine. As she did so, she did give a small sigh. It was a little different trying to discuss humans to Gods but she just hoped Viridi would be willing to listen.]

[forceofnature]

[Haru will find Viridi standing on the outside of a shrine directing a sentient tree.]

Left.

...No, not that left.

A little right. Higher.

Mmmmmmmmm... rotate it one degree. Perfect! Beautiful. Right there!

[The tree sighs and attaches the wreath Viridi had woven together onto the arch of the doorway. ...Next to the other seven wreaths.]

[bazooker]

[As Haru heard a voice, she did just that as she looked for what the directions were. As she looked toward the left, tilted her head higher, and maybe just a turned her head just a little?

That's when she saw the mysterious goddess!]

Um...hello, it's a pleasure to meet you! I brought the plant and I hope you would like it! [She said before holding up said plant to the tree. This was quite the introduction, wasn't it?]

[forceofnature]

[Urgle stares at the plant. Then gently cups it in its tree-arms.]

Uh.

Why are you giving offerings to my tree? Humans are so weird, I swear.
