Lost [Open/Closed]

Who: Hat Kid and Penny, though semi-open before the prayer itself
When: April 3rd
Where: Near Shore - Skuld's Shrine, Far Shore - Skuld's Temple
What: A certain prayer causes homesickness and worry


[A lesser god such as herself usually did not get too many prayers needing to be answered. Instead the small shrines were used mostly as convenient ways to get to and from the two worlds. But today there was a paper inside that caught the girl's eye. How long had that been there? Well, no point it questioning when she could easily pick it up to see.]

[...No, it was hard to find anything positive about this. The kid was being oddly silent, and the air felt heavy as she kept staring down at the prayer.]


[Closed to Penny]

[At some point the kid returned back to the temple. Even if none of this was real, the familiar interior of her ship does put her a little more at ease, that or she had gotten better at faking everything was fine. Something may have been slightly off, a little forced.]

We got more work to do today.
