[video + a̴̞̰̩ư̲̩̳d̘͘i̶̝͖̩o]
Hello, guests of our fair city!
[A young woman appears on the screen, dressed in white robes with a very ornate pattern on the hood and sleeves inlaid with gold thread. She stretches her arms out in welcome, a warm smile crossing her lips.]
My name is Rhea, and I am the one who presides over our ancient traditions - including those kept within our temple that was only recently reclaimed by the plight that has infected our homes.
[She bows her head in thought, and despite herself, tones down her youthfulness into a more serious tone.]
My fellow priestesses, the monks, and I hope you had a festive winter holiday season despite those creatures who seemed taken with us all. Let me ease your fears and say that those slain shortly before your Earthen holiday of Christmas were the last, and our... partners in the science department are s-
[And just like that, the video cuts as a laugh echoes through the now-staticky feed as though they weren't being broadcasted by something that had been linked directly to the network like the initial feed. Judging by the tone, it is decidedly male.]
Shown yourself to give them a sense of safety, have you my dearest Rhea? And I thought the priestess you succeeded had taught you better than to lie to your guests.
[There is a clearing of a throat and further pause before the video cuts back to Rhea, looking quite at a loss for words.]
...A-As I was saying, the science department as collected a few of the rocks for study. Though I doubt they'll find much on an object that has lost it's magic, if what history reads.
Iif you have any questions, I would be glad to answer them.
[As the feed cuts, she mouths "What was that?" to someone off-screen.]

But who was this mysterious man? And how was the Priestess 'lying' to them, if she truly was at all? Had he managed to hack into the video feed? So many questions...]
Hello, Rhea-san. I am Naoto Shirogane, a detective from my homeworld. It is good to be able to meet you.
I had several questions for you, of course, but first of all, I'm quite interested in what Gods or Goddesses you worship here in Saeng Seong. Who are they, exactly? Or are they not Gods at all, and more spirits?
[Slow and steady... build up interest, then perhaps ask to look for more indepth information into the 'touching' aspect here.]

[She bows slightly, arms before her with palms touching one another as she does so.]
The Four Goddesses, or simply the Four, are deities that embody the four main aspects of nature: Amidra, the mother goddess of water that gives all beings life. The twins Avana and Akasha, goddesses of earth and the air that sustain us. Lastly is Ahilani, the goddess of fire and the soul.
My order believe them to be Goddesses who simply watch over us from their own realm, never interfering with man and their pursuits. Though absence gives others of more analytical mind little more thought than they do the fairytales of childhood.
no subject
[Unless of course, you've seen literal gods and can summon them from your mind. Then you're a little more inclined to believe, even with someone as scientific mind as Naoto.]
Do you focus on all the Goddesses here, or do you hold preference for certain ones in Saeng Seong? And is this shared with towns outside your city?
no subject
[She gives a faint smile.]
I have to say it's a mixture of both. We give homage to all of Them in our festivals, yes, though you'll find those within our walls who do believe in them praying to our city's patron deities: the Twins.
