So there was this fruit bowl, right? It was just sitting there and I ate all of the fruits in it because I was peckish and now my parents are discussing where all the fruits my mom picked for our altar to another god (sorry hahahhh...) went. I mean I should have known, but I messed up and the only one in the house other than me was my toothless baby sister. Oh Lord Mendax, pls pls pls give me the ability to escape this lecture with a clever lie, I'll make you your own altar I swear
āTo start, you are most certainly allowed to worship other gods, we may be competition, but weāre mostly civil to each other.ā The brunet said, placing a hand on the personās shoulder. āI will help you.ā He took a breath before launching into the plan. āYou could say it could have been a trickster god or a nymph if you or someone you know has had problems with one in the past. Or, depending on the god, you could say theyāre watching over your family and needed the offerings for something they have planned for your family. Shrines are very important to us gods, and I wonāt lecture you about it since I donāt doubt you already know. Make sure to replace the offerings with something else before the day is over so you do not anger the god the fruits were originally for, should you do so. It will make your lie far more convincing, since it will be grounded in truth.ā He explained seriously, looking into the mortalās eyes. āIf you do this you will be safe. And for my altar, you donāt need anything too suspicious or special in case you get into hot water with your family. Possibly a stump with a treble clef carved onto it or something of the like, hm?ā He patted the personās shoulder gently, demeanor changing to something more lighthearted.
