She tries the cantrips, manages to figure out what Create Water is and directs it to a jug before she gets water all over her floor... oh, hey, is the second one the one Select Artigas keeps casting? She Lights her keys when she heads out, just because it looks cool. She needs to think of an interesting way to use that one!

And she comes to book club and reports her snazzy new circle and class!

"Congratulations, Songbird!"

"Thank you! This seems really encouraging for having churches! I'm not really sure what I did right, really..."

None of the others have been clericed (yet!) but it's only been less than a week.

"I got [Acolyte] Level 2 the night before, then prayed in the morning—well, [Prayed]—and then got clericed, then [Acolyte] promoted to [Cleric]."

"If you're comfortable sharing more about the content of your prayers it could be useful."

"I told her I saw a dove yesterday and it reminded me of her though it's Sarenrae's animal instead of hers, I prayed a bit about adapting the hymns in Melodies of Inner Beauty, just thinking about different melodies for one of the lines... I talked about the discussion yesterday," nodding to the Shelyn study group, "about decorating our corner, and how, er, it might be more important that the work be pleasing and beautiful than it be perfectly orthodox, because Shelyn is about art and beauty which is in the eye of the beholder?

"And I thought about how it would be nice to have her church here because it's good to have new and interesting things, and we'll get new art and influences... I think that's most of it. I don't think it was very different from my prayers the days before, though, so maybe the second [Acolyte] level was a deciding factor?"

"The Voyager that Desna chose up in Liscor was not previously an [Acolyte] so it can't be essential but it could have helped."

Someone volunteers, "If [Acolyte] makes it cheaper but Desna didn't know that back then, then she might have picked a cleric normally, and now they know they're waiting to save budget?"
