You walk with your father along the beach. Many small rocks sit in the surf. You are searching along their sides for lazon snails, a certain sort of blue snails whose shell is needed needed for one of the countless inscrutable and incomprehensible rituals he performs on a schedule which seems to align to the seasons but seems to have countless intricacies only he understand. According to him, all of them are urgent and of the utmost seriousness, even if you cannot detect any apparent pattern to them. The waves lap gently along the shore, you've found a number of the snails he is searching for and seems to be in a slightly better than usual mood. An ideal time to ask him questions... if you were so inclined. You have some time to ask your father some questions. As a general rule of thumb throughout the game, you can ask any NPC you are currently interacting with questions, it is up to them to decide if and how they answer. Asking intentionally provocative or questions may require a mini-vote to figure out if everyone thinks asking the question is a good idea. Telling things to NPCs generally requires a vote.

Ask how he reads the weather from the tides. Or if that's too big of a topic, at least how to tell if a storm or catastrophic event is coming. Edit: And ask about the voice too; can't believe I left that part out! FoxTerrier fucked around with this message at 21:17 on May 25, 2013 |

Yeah if we're talking to Dad lets ask him about the voice telling us about storms while we were being drowned. e: Seconding Callipygian Weasel's question. Successful Businessmanga fucked around with this message at 21:17 on May 25, 2013 |

Ask him if he's seen any dolphins lately. And if so, where they tend to hang out. Porpoises and whales are also acceptable.

"Are you my real father?" My theory is that Jorah or someone else is our real dad who copulated with Shushem's wife. My theory is that Shushem is infertile. Diogines posted:You are rather tall for your age. Do other children treat us different cause they know something? Why are we so drawn to Jorah, anyway Why is he acting like a real father figure, but has to respect Shushem? Did Shushem ask Jorah to sire a child with Shushem's wife because Shushem's infertile? Did the deal also include the fact that Jorah would have to go along with it to make the village Athar think it's Shushem's real son? Why doesn't Shushem have any other children? The answers to these questions seem to support my theory. "Are you my real father?"

A Darker Porpoise posted:Yeah if we're talking to Dad lets ask him about the voice telling us about storms while we were being drowned. I agree with my buddy, ADP. Also, we should ask him what grandpa was like because, well, maybe talking about his father would open him up a bit - or at least let us learn more about his background.

Have any of our gods ever communicated with you directly about anything? I'm not talking about signs or omens or anything he may have perceived as an edict from a god. I mean, actual direct use of words, something like: "Hey, Og's Dad, THIS IS YOUR GOD, AND I AM SPEAKING TO YOU. Hold any gates you may come across in the future. Be nice to clowns. Etc, etc."

I feel like if we ask that he might just beat the poo poo out of us. Maybe if we ask why we're so tall and different instead?

FoxTerrier posted:Ask how he reads the weather from the tides. Or if that's too big of a topic, at least how to tell if a storm or catastrophic event is coming. As you reach into cracks in the rock for snails, you ask. Your father looks out at the waves, behind you. "You will learn how to my son, When you have come to learn the will of Asherah. You will see his fins hidden everywhere in all that we do, in the waves, in the sky, in the shells upon the beach." Callipygian Weasel posted:Ask him if he's seen any dolphins lately. And if so, where they tend to hang out. "No, it is still too early in the season, they won't arrive for two more moons" your father tells you. OhYo posted:Why are we so tall? "The will of Asherah" your father says "your grandfather was as well." OhYo posted:Do other children treat us different cause they know something? You pull your hand out of a crevice in the rocks and find another blue snail, you hand it to your father, he drops it into a small leather bag. "Because my son, they fear Asherah and foolishly believe they can hide from his sight, if they hide from ours. All is seen by Asherah, above and below the waves."

We need a mini vote on two things: 1. Do you want to ask him if he is your father? 2. Do you want to tell him about the voice you think you once heard? We have a few people who want to do each. If you don't want this to be asked, give your input. If there is more support for asking them than not asking them, both will be asked.

Don't ask if he's our father. I don't necessarily want to directly bring out the voice, but just ask if he knows of or has ever heard voices from the sea.

1. No 2. Yes - Maybe not in a "Hey I heard this while you drowned me" way, but a "Hey I was diving underwater to find some Semen of Asherah or whatever and heard this, what could it mean?" way or something. Other questions for Dad/Diogines; Are there any tales of witches that we've learnt, what they do, why they do it, what we do to them etc? For Diogines; What are people like when they're around our Father?, do they show fear, reverence?, does he have 'friends' at all? What is the general feeling towards Jalitha by everyone else in the village? alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 23:29 on May 25, 2013 |

Diogines posted:I assumed these were questions to other players, not to Shushem? This is a softer question than "Are you my real father?" and it may give us a hint without the consequences many voters are concerned for. 1. No, ask "Why don't I have siblings?" instead. 2. No. It was a still, small voice, for only us to hear. We would be wise to understand the messenger wishes only us to know. OhYo fucked around with this message at 23:25 on May 25, 2013 |

1- no, on 'are you my dad'? 2- yes, but sneak up on it, because though dad seems to be nice just now, we know he can go ballistic if we give him a green shell instead of a blue one. We could start by asking if Ashera speaks to Dad and how that works. We have one exception where dad was happy with us. We probably think however this goes we end up getting beat.
