1.No 2.Yes Also tell him that cuttlefishes from the sky will bring upon the end of the world. Or just ask him how Ashera will end the world. Snow Job posted:Ask him about afterlife. "What happens to people after they die?" And this.

1. No - I'm pretty sure that if he weren't our real father, he'd have cast us out or exiled us or otherwise NOT let us live in his house and whatnot. 2. Yes - He'll probably just tell us we imagined it, but hey, mebbe we'll learn some snippet of lore.

1. No 2. Yes Seems like the most prudent thing to do! Our father strikes me as a decent enough man (for his time), but asking him if he is really our dad will only lead to trouble.

No on both. There's no need to anger our father for no good reason. Even if he tells us the truth, what good will this knowledge do? I'd also rather not tell our father we're hearing voices. Maybe he hears them too and we get to learn a bit about what it's like to be Asherah's prophet. Alternatively, he thinks we are possessed by sea demons and excommunicates us from the village. It warms my heart to see so many people in support of building a boat.

GoneWithTheTornado posted:An ordinary question: What kind of Demons of the seas exist and how do we watch out and protect ourselves from them? "Father" you say "I thought I heard a voice within the waters once tell me that a storm was coming. Was that Asherah?" Your father nods "It was, or one of his children. When was this? Did a storm follow?" What is your response? ALSO! This is an excellent time to ask general questions about the village which you want answers to. Not to your father, consider it plumbing your own memories. You are ten years old. What other information about your home, which you might reasonably know, would you like to know?

I guess just tell him. And yes, a storm did come, we recall lightning and the waves rose up.

I am all for telling him the truth about the storm and the vision we had. About the village: Are there any stories about how our people came to live there? Do we know where we came from before we found the village? Are there are any other slaves from Jalitha's people in the village? How did she come to stay with us, and what happened to the people who traveled with her? Hot Dog Day #82 fucked around with this message at 00:49 on May 26, 2013 |

Yeah I'm all for telling him the truth about the only message we've gotten so far. Dad questions: Why don't I have any siblings? Is okay by me. Self questions: When the men leave the village when they come back do they bring anything back with them? Are there any larger secluded caves around that stay above the tide? Do adults actively avoid us when we aren't doing work for them like the children avoid us? vvv quote:You are now ten years old. You spent time with many people over the last six years, sometimes by choice, sometimes, you were forced to. Please order the following in the order you spent the most time with them, from most frequent to least frequent. We were voting on who we spent time with from age 4-10 in that six year skip.

I'm good for telling him what we know, but keep in mind this is only to hear his interpretation of it. I'm still okay with "Why don't I have any siblings?" "What other major landmarks are nearby besides the sea and the forest?" "How many days travel to the closest village?" "Is there any way to pass on the rituals besides by telling it? Maybe some way to log it to future generations?" "In what way do you and Asherah wish Athar to prosper? Power, wealth, renown? All or none of these? something else entirely?"

Yeah, Tell him when it was, and whether or not a storm followed. No reason to keep anything from him, he knows more than anyone about what things might mean, and I'm sure he's faithful to Asherah, so there's no reason not to be completely frank with him about things concerning it.

Tell him because maybe he'll get off our loving backs a little bit if he thinks we're already hearing the voice of our god accurately.

What's the general population of our village? Roughly how many children/adults/elders? Do the villagers in general seem to be well-provided for, or are we barely scraping by?

Tell him. A question for dad: "Does anyone ever take the teachings of Ashera to other villages and cities?" I have some questions for our memory: Do the kids play sports/games, what kind? What foods are highly prized in our village? Do we know that pearls might be valuable for trade?
