Meddle not in the affairs of Snowfires. For you are flammable, delicious when cooked, and freezer friendly :V

I fear not the freezer, for I am Larderbound.
I fear not the fire, for my backside is in constant Inferno.

Bring it on, Shaggy Doggo...

On second thought, no, don't bring it on just yet.

I'm off for a nap.
Bring it on later.

Man, am I glad my dentist was apparently pretty dang competent, as he suggested full anesthesia from the get go.

...I hate y'all lucky bastards with wisdom teeth growing in a normal way.
}:C

I have to hoard money for shit-ass-difficult operation, because apparently the teeth that grow sideways just can't be pulled out and I have to have half my mouth cavity scalpeled and stitched back together for that.

All four of mine grew like that too, and I had to do that.

Was like four hours and change of surgery, dentist was sweating by the end. Apparently, I too have very hard bones, like @Deliste,, and he had a bitch of a time grinding it all away.

Honestly, staying awake through it all sounds like a nightmare, I'm glad for the extra four hundred (brazillian) bucks for hiring the anesthesist. Pretty penny, but I was out in like ten seconds, only got woken up after everything had been sewn shut and they were putting away tools.

Didn't have any post surgery troubles tho. Stitching was of the sort that naturally dissolves after a while, so just had to pull a handful in the dentist.

[] Tell her that the Old Gods don't have a priesthood and thus no physical repository of lore. Even the Green Men of the Isle of Faces are only guardians of a sacred place. Think Fiery Hand, not Flamekeepers.
-[] Her best chance to gain the lore she seeks would be the same way the Old Gods faithful do it. Meditating before a Heart Tree and trying to commune with them that way. It's not prayer, the Old Gods neither want, nor appreciate that anyway, but you understand if that would be skirting the line a bit much in her opinion. If she wants to try it, they are a bit more chatty at the Philosophers Tree then elsewhere.
-[] She could also talk to a Lotus Leshy, who kinda serve as kinda priests in some kind of way in SD. (And warn the Leshies beforehand to keep their petals shut about certain people sitting in certain trees.)
-[] As a last resort, recommend her some books about the faith in the library.

Part MMDCXL: Of Gods and Games

    • Of Gods and Games ​

    Twentieth Day of the Eighth Month 293 AC

    "Alas the old Gods have no great physical repository of lore," you reply honestly, though still cautious of her reactions. "Even the Green Men are more akin to the Fiery Hand than the Flame-Keepers. To my knowledge the best way to gain insight into their nature and ways is meditating before a Heart Tree." Seeing her frown you hasten to add: "It is not prayer, for the Old Gods neither ask not care for such a thing, but if that is treading too close to the line...
    "It would," the priestess interjects. "You say it is not prayer and perhaps for you it is not, but it would go against the nature of men to ask boons of those they count 'gods' without the deed being rightfully counted prayer."

    What does she count you then if not a man,     you wonder but do not ask. "Then you might try conversing with the spirit-kin, in particular the blooming ones who seek serenity in the depths of the Greendream, or at last resort look through some of texts I have collected," you offer, making a mental note to warn every Lotus Leshy to keep silent on the matter of Bloodraven and his doings.

    ***​

    Your evening is spent mostly walking the streets and enjoying the fun and excitement of the festival. Vendors hawk wares from trinkets to marvels, bells call the faithful to worship before the altars of golds old and new, and the savory smels of food from across the world spill out into the balmy night air. In one open-air plaza you find that Ysilla had helped arranged a sort of ad-hoc war game tournament using the tiny steel festival figures.

    Here a handful of Minotaurs backed by raiders from the Deep are trying to board a Ghiscari slave ship... there an adept of Yss surrounded by legionnaires stand against a mob of mad cultists lead by the Damphair. How quickly monsters can become figures of fun, you think, smiling all the more to notice a little girl with a streak of silver scales running down her shoulders playing happily a few tables over though she seems to have a preference for an eclectic army including heroic Dothraki Bloodriders, fungal wolves and sailors. Her opponent looks to be rather disgruntled at having rolled up an army of gloating magisters and toadies.

    "They are are supposed to lose anyway, Harry," the girl calls over.

    "Well yeah," Harry replies, the Vale accept still clear in his words. "But they aren't just supposed to just get blown over. Just you wait until I'm playing heroes again. I bet I'll get a dragon, maybe the King himself."

    The boy does not notice you, Dany, and Lya standing behind him, but Ysilla does: "Your Grace, Dany," she makes a valiant effort to curtsy and wave at the same time. "Do you like the game? Still haven't figured out what to call it, and the rules are... a work in progress."

    "It looks like great fun," you answer, smiling. "I'd even play a bit myself, if you have the room "

    The sound of dozens of players jumping to their feet rumbles through the square.

    "Even a king needs only one seat to sit in," you assure them, laughing as Ysilla literally rolls her eyes at the general silliness.

    "We have a table open this way," she offers.

    You end up narrowly winning two games out of three against Dany and drawing two to two against Lya as an audience of children cheers one or the other on while other more reserved but still smiling children watch on,

    What do you do next?

    [] Do an interview
    -[] Write in subject

    [] Approach Mors Umber to see why the man is here so openly
    -[] Write in

    [] Approach Sandor Clegane to learn more about him and possibly to recruit him
    -[] Write in

    OOC: This is pretty short but I feel like we all need a breather of Viserys just enjoying the festival, and it gave me a chance to show off what Ysilla has been doing and the festival figures, too.

    also, I feel like we do need to give her some talk with Lya on some aspects of divinity and how it works...

    This interpretation of hers just rubs me the wrong way.
    :/

    *zzzz-ing intensifies*
     
    @DragonParadox, did Sandor already learn that we turned Tywin and The Mountain into insulting caricature figurines to serve as villains for the kids to defeat? :V

    "The Lannisters and their slave-mages" sounds like a great faction name by the way.

    He did not notice it yet though he might in the future.

    That is not Ysilla, just a kid with some aberration taint, the point is she is playing and having fun even while Damphair has been reduced to a toy for children to use in their games
