Yes... And no matter how far away God - any god - may feel, they're surely much closer than expected.
[Lucas, firm in his belief that a manic goat cult can't possibly be stronger than every other god in existence out there like why they hell would they be summoning a goat god in the first place if that were true!! He hates cults so damn bad.
Looking over at the mention of markers, though.]
...Would you like some help? To set them up, if nothing else.
[He doesn't have an axe or skills with anything that require fine details, but he can at least. Stick things in the ground or something damn.]
[ he shoots a baleful look in the direction of the church, where i'm not sure if we can see the fuckin. goat. stainglass or not from the pyre, but he hates the place and the goat. sorry about your house, lucas. ]
If nothin' else, I'm gonna keep callin' on the gods of Orsterra. There's thirteen of 'em - somebody's gotta hear me and Rondo eventually if we keep sendin' a prayer their way every time we need the guidance.
[ TCH, but anyways. he looks at lucas then. ]
Wouldn't mind the help or the company, friend. I don't have a hand for anythin' finer than choppin' wood, so maybe we can make an affair of it if we're able to say some rites and somebody can do the writin' on the markers.
An attempt's bein' made. I'll report back if we get anythin', though. [ he'll take the lightness, because they need some levity in all of this. good for the soul. ]
Think it'd be nice to just... do somethin'. Even if we can't tend to 'em, we can at least send 'em on their way, say goodbye somehow.
[ boothill was, unfortunately for all of us, very likeable. terrible. ]
... I know it's always helped me, havin' a grave marker to talk to when the person's not there.
[Very terrible! BOOTHILL!!!!! NU YUUL AND NAT ARE MY ENEMIES FOR LIFE.
He just nods in agreement, though. With all of this, pretty much. He is very fantasy Catholic, so the notion of sending the dead on their way in any way possible and being able to visit a grave in the aftermath is very familiar to him, which is comforting in its own way.]
I believe it might give those left behind even the smallest bit of peace, too. ...If not peace, at least something to focus on.
[ me: oh the infamous nat and yuul, how exciting! me: oh i'm gonna get cr with nu that's fun! them: ehehohohoho ]
I can get the pieces together tonight, probably. After that... it's down to findin' people to help spruce 'em up, and anybody that might want to do somethin' for rites, or words, or... whatever else we can do.
[ aerith prettifying this attempt at doing nice things for their dead even if their PLAYERS DON'T DESERVE IT! ]

Do let the rest of us know if you manage to make it through. [Said lightly and mostly just for banter, but imagine how funny that would be.]
Mm... Karlach may want to join, in that case. Mathis and Yuffie, as well.

When were you planning on starting?

Alright... That sounds like a good starting point. Thank you, Alfyn.
