open: worship me
[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!

OK! I'll take it. You get one Viridi Point for a flattering comparison.
[........it's probably fine she's obligated to like onions...]
Tell me more about this beloved and universally acclaimed Celebi.
no subject
Umm.... Well, it's a legend from the Johto region, so I only know what I've read in books and heard from people from there.
There's legends that it can control the flow of time, or travel through time itself, so the forest is kind of 'eternal'? I guess you could say that way it can protect the forest from harm no matter what time period it is.
There's a shrine, I think, in the forest that it's supposed to live in. I've never been there myself, but one'a my students is from the region and said it's all overgrown with moss and stuff. Hard to say if it really lives in there or not.
--What do I get with Viridi Points?
no subject
[Viridi answers the important question first.]
Celebi sounds pretty great, though. I need to learn that time travel thing, because that's exactly my problem.
Maybe you can wish me into time travel here. Just keep thinking that I'm Celebi.
no subject
Time travel seems like too much trouble, though. Then again, maybe Celebi could help get us out of here..........
[Viridi, you might be on to something. Hmmmmmm.]
[This couldn't possibly go poorly.]
no subject
[this sounds more like a viridi power]
Wait, don't wish for Celebi to be here. It will probably end up getting fused with something horrible and... I don't know. Slime travel instead of time travel.
no subject
[While he's pondering the possibility of net-zero outcomes, he grimaces at her warning.] --Don't say it! Well, I guess you're right, but...
If you don't have any power here, I guess legendary Pokémon wouldn't, either. That's pretty depressing, tch!
[He definitely considers Viridi way less divine than Pokémon gods, just sayin']
no subject
This world really should recognize the concept of divinity eventually. I mean, it's got land. There's got to be a god of the land forming. There's a sky - of sorts, and living beings and emotions.
Legion says they think the world was crying out when it was doing the earthquake bit.
1/2
[What happened to not actively trying to be cursed??]
had to fit in the smug icon first it was necessary
[He's heard of ancient Pokémon who shape the continents, ones that can create landmass, even legendaries who monitor the status of the Earth... But he's never heard of one that was personified of it to the point of feeling its pain.]
[It was unsettling, to say the least.]
Uh, does that-- happen to you? Like, when nature is getting messed up.
unacceptable
[says the person who actually deserves that]
What are you asking - do I feel pain? [she gives a slight shrug] Not like, physical pain. But if the balance of nature is out of whack, I certainly don't feel good.
Kind of hard to be in a good mood when you're hearing millions of lives screaming and dying constantly.
