Cam nodded thoughtfully, assessing the suggestion. "That could be an option, but I'm really not that fast ... Hmm, I guess I could pick somewhere that people tend to sit for a while, like the Temple. Though something about drawing strangers without their knowledge feels a bit ... invasive? I guess if it's just practice it's OK, though." When Lilliane offered to sit for them, they blushed -- or, at least, they would have blushed, but Ascended didn't do that, since they didn't have blood. "Oh, uh, that would be lovely, actually. Just, uh, don't expect it to be any good, OK?" They let out a self-deprecating little laugh.
"Maybe." Another nod. "I feel like if Caido cared what the lesser gods are doing to us, though, it wouldn't be that hard for him to speak up. And, like, most sim games I've played actually let you meddle in your simulated people's lives a lot ... My dad always saw God more as a scientist, just setting up the universe as an experiment. Maybe that's why Caido doesn't intervene -- it would spoil the data."
Cam frowned, trying to cast their mind across everything they'd heard about this holiday. They had done some studying of Caido's myths and legends, after all. "I think they're supposed to float on water or something? So that they can carry the souls away? I honestly have no idea, though. Damn, I should know this." They sighed and continued working on their lantern, wrapping the paper around the sticks which were now attached to the base.
