Both days, both ships. chiisaichou August 26 2011, 13:32:50 UTC
[Though Miyabi stays relatively close or even on the main cargo ship, she knows that many of her other friends and family members are off fighting on the other ships. She mainly stays above deck on the cargo ship, dealing out damage wherever she can. It's...strange, really. She almost forgot how easy it could be to wield the Celestial Brush without the huge caps to their power. She can easily use the stronger offensive skills without feeling so fatigued. So do expect quite a bit of explosions going off, in the form of large and colorful cherry bombs. Aerial attackers are getting a harsher treatment...either blasted with flames from her fireburst skill, or cut down from the air with powerslash ( ... )

[There's an unoccupied bed farther in, and one of the healer is just finishing up placing in the new bedding before spying the two and waving them over. Miyabi's injuries weren't serious or life-threatening, and treatment would take, at most, just a few minutes with magic. Before that, though, the girl frowns, rubbing at her head to clear the fuzziness.]

That's terrible! How could people just up and forget like that...? I don't want to think what the world would be like without the blessings we receive from every god.

[No sunlight, no wind, or rain, or plant life. Everyone and everything would just...die.]

[Loki sets her on the bed carefully. Once she's nice and settled, he steps out of the way to let the healer get to work.]

I suppose we could use our situation here as an example. None of us who were brought here praise the gods of this world, but life goes on with or without their blessings. I wonder why that is?

[Ah, the wonders of filial magic. Just by placing her hands over the wounded area and concentrating, the girl's wound is healed within the next minute. After prescribing a bit of rest just to recover from blood loss, the healer wanders off to aid the more serious casualties. Miyabi thanks her with a kind wave, then turns back to Loki.

Ah--...that was right. Miyabi didn't even think Luceti had gods. Maybe the filial spirits? She was thankful to Faeren and Eferin for their help with her skills, but she never truly thanked them like she did her gods.]

...I suppose so. But if the Filial Spirits are Luceti's gods...then I guess I can treat them a little better. Nala must be tired...what with all the people using her gift right now. If I knew what they looked like, I would paint them.

[Filial spirits as gods? Now that's an interesting thought.

He pulls up a nearby stool and plops down on it, resting his elbows on his knees. Might as well take a breather while he's here.]

Does a being have to be a god for you to paint it or treat it better? There are humans much more admirable than certain gods. If you think about it the other way, there are also gods more despicable than most humans.

In other words, should someone being called a "god" be given more weight than someone being called a "human"?

[This...is a conversation Miyabi hadn't expected. Probably months and months ago, she would have thought that this person was wrong - how could gods be bad in any way - but Miyabi has been in Luceti going on two years now. She knows better than to think like that. Even so, their topic of choice is a little sobering. What truly does make a god a god?]

...I know. I've met a lot of people who say the gods in their worlds are vengeful and violent. I...I've never come across that in my world, so I-I guess I'm thankful to my gods for their gifts. Especially the power of the Celestial Brush. My people are the only ones who can use it other than the gods themselves. Without that power, we'd be...really vulnerable. [Because poncles are just so tiny.]

But I don't just paint gods. I paint whatever and whoever I want! I don't do it just because I have to or it's my duty, I do it because I love painting. And I guess...because i want to give thanks to people in the way I know best.

That's a good answer. Some people are too busy looking up at the gods to see the things happening around them on an everyday level. Giving thanks to your gods is fine, but you have to cherish what you have close to you too, don't you think?

[He sits back and crosses one leg over the other.] In my case, the gods I know of barely pay attention to humans. If anyone prays to them, I doubt they ever notice it. They're so ridiculous and caught up in their personal affairs that it's a wonder they're gods at all.
