Rishi	According to her information, this Temple to the Lady of the Changing Waters was once just a hole in the wall place, run down, but still expensive given it's location in one of the shrine districts of Holymaze. Now...it's still a hole in the wall place, but there's a very long line outside with oddly attractive acolytes sheperding people in and out. The people who come out also seem to be better looking, on average. Which fits what you've heard, that they have a pool back there, blessed by the goddess, that lets you become who you wish to be. They also have a new Exigent who was the one who brought back the blessing? The story has gotten a little muddled. One thing you are sure of, is that there's some Sorcerous goings on back there. Which is suspicious.
Vetiver Mirror	Vetiver Mirror takes the last bite of a bit of street food and stops leaning against the opposing wall. Ears perk. The sound of magic is undeniable. Even from across the street it can be heard as clear as day. There are other sounds a well mingling in the background but the magic of the building drowns it out. "Guess I have to check this out huh ..." Fate crystallizing clearly into that of a god she advances to one of the attendants not bothering with the line at all. "Pardon me. My name is Vetiver Mirror, goddess of favorable reflections. I seek an audience with your high priest." tilting her head, letting her gaze following a woman step out of the temple. One who she was sure did NOT look that nice before she entered. "I'm very curious about this miracle."
Rishi	The rather tall and striking acolyte looks nervous. They begin to say something...but a honey sweet voice comes out of the temple saying "Do not be worrying about this, I shall be doing the speaking with this goddess!" And the woman soon follows. Tall, curvy, with the kind of beauty that only a supernatural being can manage, she makes the fluffy cat tail, bat wings, didigrade paws, claws, and pointed ears look amazing. She looks practically sculpted, as though crafted by a god. The acolyte looks awed and quickly bows before going back to their duties. The woman, who must be this new Exigent you've heard of, says "And how may I be doing the service to the gods on this fine day?" with a bow to you of appropriate humility.
Vetiver Mirror	Vetiver turns from the acolyte to the newcomer. It takes all hear years of training for her eyes not to go wide at the sight of her. The only hint perhaps with the twitch-swish of her large brush like tail. Competitively the so called goddess despite her jewelry and silks looks bit plain. Quickly giving an affable and respectful return bow of one of a higher station. "A pleasure young Exigent. As I told your acolyte I am Vetiver Mirror, goddess of favorable reflections. I was hoping I might get a chance to see this miracle of your god's." smiling sweeting and gesturing to the crowd. "It seems to have drawn a lot of attention in town."
Rishi	The Exigent tilts her head to the side, her dark hair looking almost liquid as it flows over her shoulders. And she sniffs a couple of times like she smelled something tasty, before breaking into a wide smile. "And I am being Rishi, Chosen of the Lady of the Changing Waters. And it is being my most great honor to be part of this blessing." She bows to the goddess again, allowing her through the door. "The blessing is being open to all... though the room is being somewhat cramped." Down the hall is a small hall, mostly covered in mosaic tiles in geometric patterns, with a large pool and fountain at the center. The line of people are steadily progressing forwards to where they are disrobing and then bathing in the pool. When they immerse themselves in the pool, after a short period, they come out ...different. Usually just better looking, but several of them are a different gender as when they went in and at least one comes out with more animalistic features. They're also all smiling. Rishi guides you over to the side where the press isn't an issue. "It is being most glorious, yes? Everyone becoming who they are yearning to be."
Rishi	From what you can hear, this Working is an amazing symphony, weaving together the soothing woodwinds of the forest, the jazzy ever mutating beat of the Wyld, the delicate string music of the heart... and the silver bells of the Moon. It was crafted lovingly and with sincerity, to give people a form that matched their heart...though you can hear a faint shadow of a baseline thrumming back to this ...Exigent and her minor demon companion.
Vetiver Mirror	The Goddess follows after looking much like a tourist. Head craning to look at all the mosaics. Turning to walk backwards a few times to watch a freshly changed person pass them in the hall. Even running a hand along the tiles feeling the cool tiles as the go. All the while what she is really doing is listening. The whole building sings with magic, powerful magic. The kind of magic that would be a mortal's life work. Though for an Exigent ... The room itself while not much to look at is most beautiful to the ears. Vetiver can't help but hum a bit along with the tune as her ears perk and twitch listening from all angels. The wyld? Not a huge surprise with this kind of magic, the moon often refrains with the wyld. The sincerity is interesting though. Did lovers make this? "Fascinating. Truely." the awe in her voice more naked than when she first met Rishi. "The love and care that went into it. All to make it so a person can reach for what they wish their reflections to be. An aspiration that I can appreciate." turning to Rishi with an honest smile head tilting as she asks. "Then why do you hide its true nature choosen?" something mildy sinister in the cheerful tone
Rishi	The Chosen pulls you further back to the wall, her grip not exactly forceful, but not yielding either. "It is being ...quieter here. The tiles are do things so that they shall not be doing the hearing of us. As for this...it is not being a lie. It IS very much being a boon from my Goddess. Th-She did the choosing of me, setting me upon this path. This is simply being the fulfillment of my Choosing." Her eyes are shining for a moment, passion in her voice. She is very devoted to her goddess. Then she sighs, turning a little downcast. "But, I am knowing how Sorcery is being thought of. This holy boon...it would not be bringing to people the joy that it is doing, if they were thinking it was being from the Sorcerer." She turns to face you, bowing once more, tears in her eyes. "Please, do not be telling people of this. You are understanding, yes?"
Vetiver Mirror	If she is bothered by the firm hand she doesn't show it. Moving in as guided, though fidgeting to the beat of the magic. Being much shorter she has to look up gathered in close for whispering. Keeping her wide Cheshire smile as Rishi explains nearly in tears. Head still listed toward Rishi, Vetiver's eyes trailing over to the people entering the pool, changing, moving into a new phase of their lives. Then the cycle continues with the next person. Holding the silence a for a while. Feeling the threads of fate. Considering again. ?Fine ...? she says with a sigh ?You can see why this can cause me problems too though. Who needs a better version of themselves if they are already the better version? It infringes in my domain.? playing the part of the affronted god.
Rishi	Rishi frowns and sighs. "If you are being serious that you feel this is an affront, then you are having my apologies and I will consider what request you make for my repayment most carefully. But, do not be mistaking me for one who is easily bullied. This place is belonging to my goddess and it is being most well protected."
Vetiver Mirror	"I didn't say affront." Turning to the pool. Tail swaying happily behind her despite the implication of a threat. "I said infringing. Rishi we want the same thing me and the God of Changing Waters. I simply wish a part of it. After all without the reflection that makes a person hope to be more how could they dream for ..." gesturing at the pool and the people filled with joy leaving the pool. "A cut of the prayers. In exchange I keep the secret and help you with the process." Blackmail? Blackmail with an offer of services? "Would you not rather work together?"
Rishi	"Mmmm... If you are being willing to be helping us and be seen doing the supporting of us, then...if anyone here is doing the praying to you as well as to the Lady, it is not being any of my concern. Are you already having the temple of your own or should I be looking into trying to be getting the big mirror in here?"
Vetiver Mirror	Vetiver claps her hands together "Excellent!" Turning her gaze back to Rishi tail wagging away. "That would be wonderful, though I wouldn't want you to have to shoulder the whole burden of that alone. I'll have one brought In if that is alright." almost giddy with how well that went. "It will be a pleasure working with you Rishi, and the god of changing waters." offering a hand to shake on it. "Does the god of changing waters reside here as well? I'm exited to meet them."
Rishi	The ghost of fear passes over Rishi's face, replaced quickly by a suppressed laugh. "Ah, no. She is often doing the traveling over Creation. I am being told that she is having the residence in the Heaven, though. Perhaps you could be doing the meeting of her there?" She's also visibly looking over the room, thinking where best to place the mirror so that when people emerge they will be able to see their new selves most clearly.
Vetiver Mirror	"Ah-alas. When she returns or next time I return to heaven I would love to have a word." Vetiver is also looking about for the best place for her mirrors. Suitable for use but not obstructing the mosaics too much. Eyes drifting to the pool. Unable to help being a bit curious herself. What would happen if ...? No none of that. Mission first.
Rishi	Rishi follows her gaze and tilts her head. "...I am not being certain that it would be working exactly the same on the Gods as on the Humans, but ... This blessing is being given to all who are wanting it. And, if it is not working correctly for the God...well, it is being possible my charms might be able to be doing the job. I *am* being the Chosen of the Changing Waters after all. I would not be wishing my new ally to be feeling unblessed."
Vetiver Mirror	Looking back up at Rishi. Trying to read the strange beautiful creature she just tried to polity blackmail. Expression vexing in the way those touched by Jupiter tend to be. Reaching a hand out she pats the Exeget on the arm. "Thank you but no. Its ... not wise for a god to change itself like that. We are an expression of our nature, to change that expression could" pausing a momement on the ramifications "Well I'm not honestly sure but it sounds dangerous." The touch though. The desire to understand runs deep in her. Not knowing something is ... hard. Hand coming away with pockets worth of hopes and dreams. Something she can consider later, to hopefully undersand this woman more. "Thank you Rishi you have given me a lot to think about. For now though I will get us a mirror. We can talk details later."
