The Ceremony for my devotion to Bast
<>--<>--<>--<>--<> Bast, Goddess of Lust, Vice, and Greed <>--<>--<>--<>--<>
Narthex of the Temple of Bast
This grandiose, almost gaudy, Temple echoes with the reverberating moans of pleasure of its happy inhabitants. There are little alcoves everywhere with soft, satin covered beds, and larger alcoves with casks of ale and wine. This is most definitely a den of iniquity and vice. You are overwhelmed with a desire to partake in the glorious debauchery that takes place here.
A brightly colored plaque hangs above the entrance.

You nod at Belair
You say to Belair, "I believe so"
Belair whispers to you, "shall we begin?"
Ermelinde gives a quick nod of her head
Belair preaches, "We are all gathered here this day to witness one of the greatest moments in a mortal's life: devotion to a deity."
Belair preaches, "The road has been a long one for Ermelinde; a true test of devotion and faith. She has during this time, however, come to meet the strict standards of the church of Bast and achieved a sound comprehension of the Great Lady's teachings."
Belair preaches, "I would ask Ermelinde to strip bare to the flesh before we continue with the ceremony."
Belair smiles
You remove serpent-skin cloak.
Belair looks at you.
You remove golden ring of protection.
You remove glimmering robe.
Belair smiles
You smile at Belair warmly.
Belair preaches, "Now that Ermelinde is naked before the hallowed temple of Bast, I will mark her with the impression of Bast."
Kaiva looks at you.
Belair whispers to you, "Would you kneel in the center of the narthex and bow your head down, please?"
Falcore looks at you.
Ermelinde kneels before Belair with her head bowed and her hair falling forward
Belair removes Bast's Pendant of Pleasures.
Belair stands behind Ermelinde and swipes aside her hair, exposing her back.
Belair holds the pendant up by the chain for all to see, a pulsating white glow emanating from the symbol.
You lick your lips
Belair preaches, "Ermelinde, whilst I mark you with the impression of Bast, I want you to speak your oath of fealty to the Goddess. You will be forever held accountable to this fealty, and it will mark the beginnings of your binding to Bast."
Belair says to Ermelinde, "You agree to those terms?"
You nod
You say, "I agree"
Belair grasps the symbol with a loud *SIZZLE* and a whisp of smoke.
Belair thrusts the symbol down onto Ermelinde's upper back with a resounding *HISS*, his other hand tapping her shoulder.
You say, "I offer my mind and body in the service of Lady Bast. I arise today through a mighty lust and a powerful greed to revel in all of life's so-called vices. Her power shall guide me. Her words shall give me speech. In her bosom I shall rest. And under her gaze I shall be watched over and protected. In return I will endeavor to continue to live my life in a manner befitting the blessing she bestows upon me today by granting me the privilege of joining this Temple."
Ermelinde exhales slowly
Belair leaves the sizzling pendant on Ermelinde's upper back a few moments after she completes the fealty. Releasing it from her flesh, a dark brown symbol of Bast now resides.
Belair murmurs a reverent prayer to Bast.
Belair equips Bast's Pendant of Pleasures.
Belair preaches, "Ermelinde, your lust for devotion, your greed for glory and your vice to serve the Mistress of Desire has proven beyond satisfactory!"
Belair smiles
Ermelinde gazes up at Belair
Belair preaches, "Ermelinde, you may now devote to Bast."

The Nature of Cherries
My final task for my supplication was to hold an event. Belair and I discussed a number of different things I could do, different ideas I had. My first idea was huge. A little too huge for me to really do as a novice. We decided I should put it on the backburner for now. What we decided on was a little bit of fun we initially called Fun with Cherries. The idea was for people to come up with fun and creative uses for cherries. While my event was in the planning stages, another supplicant posted an event that was not met well by the Creator. I feared my event would look cheap and tawdry like the one that was met with so much disdain even though what I wanted was completely different. Kaiva stepped forward and offered to help me organize everything. I jumped at that offer. After some brainstorming here is what we came up with, well, what she came up with from my idea for an event:
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
This parchment note is bordered with decorative,
colorfully printed cherry tree branches that have pretty
pink and white blossoms and bright red fruit.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Nature of Cherries!
Greetings citizens and immigrants of the Realm!
I am holding a contest of Creativity for anyone
who has ever enjoyed CHERRIES! And even if you
don't adore cherries as much as I do, you are
still welcome to participate!
We will be meeting at the Concession stand at the
Sablean Fairgrounds, where everybody will present
their favorite methods and uses of cherries. The
contestant who steals away the judges with their
clever idea will walk away with a prize!
And when, pray tell, will this delightful event take
place? Why on the 14th of Torrid, 245 at
approximately 23 o'clock.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
The day finally arrived. Belair and I met early at the Concession Stand. I greeted and got to know everyone who arrived to participate or at least just watch. The judges took their place at a picnic table with a good view. The air was ripe with the scent of candied dragonscales and bad coffee. Because of a Battle in the Dome for the Festival of Fire in honor of Lord Belphegore, we started a couple of hours late.
I stepped up onto a picnic table that had been pulled to the front of the crowd as an impromptu stage. A warm smile spread across my face as I gazed out at new friends and old who had arrived to join in the little bit of merriment I had promised. In a soft, clear voice that carried across the crowd and only hinted at the nervousness I felt, I said, "Hello! I'm Ermelinde Coppyce, supplicant of Bast. I'd like to thank you all for attending my little event, The Nature of Cherries."
Kelthia shushed everyone as they settled among the various tables and turned their attention to me. Oh boy! Now the fun was really about to begin. I can only hope that my nervousness was contained, and only showing around the edges.
After everyone had settled, I made eye contact with a few here and there. I asked, "I want to ask you all something that has been asked of me. Do you adore, savor, cherish, daydream and fondle cherries?" I found Kaiva in the crowd. We shared a smile, knowing she was the one to ask me that very question, the first time we got together to work on this very event. Turning my attention back to everyone else, I said, "Maybe you are like me," I looked down at a handful of fresh, ripe cherries with a warm glow in my eyes, "and could sit in a cherry tree all day just picking the ripe little fruit and eating them fresh. A delectable vice." A ripple of agreement rolled through the crowd.
I said, "An acquaintance of mine likes to drop them into shots of whiskey and consume them that way. A tasty treat." I dropped a cherry into a shot of whiskey and held it up. Putting the glass to my lips, I tossed it back so that the amber fluid flowed down my throat as I caught the cherry with my teeth. The slight crunch could be heard as my teeth sunk into the succulent flesh. I licked a drop of juice from the corner of my mouth.
I continued, "A guildmate of mine carries them around in a jar and tosses them out as prizes. A cherished temptation." I sauntered slowly across the picnic table and caught someone's eye as I said, "The chefs among us probably have wonderful recipes for cherry pie, cherry jam, maybe even cherry wine. A savory side dish. We are here to celebrate one of life's little pleasures, some may even say a divine gift, cherries."
Evana said, "mmm cherished cherries" to the chuckles and agreement of everyone else.
I held up a handful of cherries for everyone to see. Everyone was so excited! What a yummy looking handful of cherries they were! They looked incredibly sweet and juicy, and everyone could hardly wait to gobble them right up! I said, "Who here wishes to compete for the grand prize of ten orb with their most creative use of cherries? Who among you think that you may be able to seduce seven of my orb away with your daydreams of cherries? Which of you just knows that you will be depositing five orb into your account tomorrrow because of your adoration of cherries?" I stopped in the center of the picnic table, brushed back a few stray tendrils of my wanton, russet hair and looked out at the crowd expectantly. As I slowly made eye contact with just about everyone, I asked for volunteers. Luminus of Chronos lept to his feet and called out his name. Kaiva and Gawain immediately joined in. Then there was silence.
"Surely we have more than three creative souls in ths crowd?" I asked to encourage some more volunteers. Minraed offered to make a wonderful dessert at the end while the judges were making their decision. This lead to more joking and people volunteering each other. Eventually Evana, Loekiya, and Kelthia were added to the list of competitors.
Drawing everyone's attention back to me, I said, "Now I'd like to introduce the judges! To ensure absolute fairness, I have gone to great lengths to find a judge in each ethical path. However, it seems the Paragons didn't want to play with me, so we have two judges from the Grey path." I stepped to the side and with a flourish of my arm, I pointed to Xenoroyal, "Our first judge is Xenoroyal, Armsmaster for the Fighters Guild." I took another graceful step back so that I was beside Jasol. "Our second man on the path of Neutrality is Jasol, the White Wolf and Sorceror of Loviatar." I looked over the crowd with a merry sparkle in my eye and a gleeful grin on my lips. "And saving the best for last, a darling of the Darkness, one of the chosen of Lady Bast herself, the Respected Bishop, Belair." There was a smattering of applause and jokes about bribery.
I clasped my hands together excitedly as I said, "Now let the games begin!" A lascivious giggle poured from her lips. "Would anyone like to go first, or shall I choose?" I asked expectantly as my gaze passed around the crowd. The jokes continued but no volunteers stepped forward, so I randomly decided that Gawain should go first. Of course before the words could even reach my lips, Samadhi thought he would have a little fun. He made me volunteer Evana. I swatted him for his rude intrusion into my mind as I smiled at Evana and named who I wanted to go first.
Gawain looked a bit tentative as he stepped forward to accept his handful of cherries. All eyes turned to him as I sat down on the picnic table. Gawain slowly and seductively lowered the cherries down the front of his mantle, squishing them all around. He pulled out a set of soggy stones and cherry juice drips from beneath his armor. He held the stones in his hands and started juggling furiously and with great dexterity, before bouncing them off his head and away to the south! Gawain bowed extravagantly with a flourish. The crowd clapped and giggled as the judges made notes on pieces of parchment.
With a wicked glint in my eye and a mischievous grin on my lips, I asked, "Hmmm, now who gets to lick his fingers clean?" Among the snickers and giggles, Kelthia volunteered Samadhi for the job, but did a very thorough job of it herself, much to Gawain's pleasure.
And again when no one came forward to be our second contestant, I decided that it should be Kelthia, the Vixenous CherryBaron, as she had dubbed herself. Afterall, she had already begun to perform as she savored the juices from Gawain's fingers. Kelthia beamed as Evana shoved her towards me to accept her handful of cherries. Kelthia grinned at the bright red cherry and winked to the crowd. She passed the cherry into her flowing shield where it sat deliciously. Muttering a few choice words at the cherry it glowed softly for a moment as she removed it from the shield. The cherry, now dripping slightly, shimmered with it's new honey core. Kelthia giggled mischievously as she placed the cherry softly down the front of her robe so that it remained nestled in her cleavage. Kelthia said, "Now, can I have a volunteer who would like to step up and savor my treat." Evana nudged Samadhi forward as Gawain egged, "go on! take her cherry!" Finding it hard not to tease Samadhi, I grinned at him wickedly as I said, "Don't you want her cherry?"
Evana said, "He's trying to remember what that means."
Samadhi said, "Me? Im old and nearsighted I might miss and bite her on something delicate." Kelthia rolled the cherry behind her robe. Gawain stepped up quickly, and nabbed the cherry with his teeth, drooling copiously. Was lust in the air for this flirtatious couple? Who knows where all of this might have lead.
Amongst the giggles and cheers, I chose Luminus to be the next volunteer. Luminus said, "My favorite use of cherries will require a little assistance as well. I need a gnome." Luminus scanned the crowd, and nabbed a wandering gnomish child. He gave the kid a shiny danar and whispered something in his ear. Luminus layed the gnome on his back on a picnic table. He said, "Cherries please?" to which I promptly gave him his handful. By now the crowd had gone quiet with wonder. Luminus looked through the handful, and selected the two largest cherries. Luminus shoved the cherries into the gnome's big nose. Luminus produced a feather, and proceeded to tickle the gnome's nose with it. The crowd began to laugh and a few audience members took a few steps back. Luminus watched as the gnome unleashed a mighty sneeze, and the cherries went ROCKETING into the crowd! Several people hit the dirt as everyone burst out with laughter. A cherry bounced off of Evana's forehead and she promptly fainted. Samadhi, ever the gentleman, sat on her, to ensure her safety. Luminus scooted the kid back off to enjoy the fair.
Evana grunted and shoved Samadhi off of her. Before the laughter had even died down, she proclaimed, "Gimme cherries" I dutifully pulled her handful out of my food pouch and handed it over. Evana said, "I will now enact a magnificent natural event, the eruption of a volcano." Evana shoved the cherries into her mouth, chewed them up until they were squished and juice dripped from her lips. Evana looked at Samadhi. Evana spewed cherry juice all over Samadhi. Evana curtseyed gracefully. Samadhi licked Evana all over and she shivered happily. The crowd laughed and cheered for Evana's wonderful performance.
Loekiya stepped forward and volunteered to go next by saying, "Okay, I would like to announce that I was totally unprepared for this . ." Loekiya hoisted herself up onto the picnic table, and sauntered to it's middle. She slowly settled herself into a sitting position, letting her legs fall gently to the sides. Loekiya pondered the situation. Evana hmmed and watched carefully. Loekiya said, "Well, as I was not prepared for this, I'm simply going to tell you all a little about something I like to do occasionally with cherries. . ." Loekiya said, "And no, I'm not going to try and replace mine." Loekiya grinned. She picked from the bunch the darkest, ripest cherry. She gave the crowd a sultry gaze, as she raised it to dangle in front of her face. Loekiya said, "Cherry juice, from perfectly ripened cherries . . to me anyway . . reminds me a bit of blood." She had a mischievous glint in her eyes. Loekiya placed the cherry against her lips, and took a heaving breath before biting into it lustfully. A bit of the dark, sweet juice began to trickle from the corner of her mouth and roll to her chin. She winked at Barandis. Loekiya dropped the cherry, and slowly began to untie the top of her bodice. When it became loose enough, she slid the straps of the bodice down to expose her bare shoulders. Loekiya grinned at me as she slid the bodice down to reveal a great deal of cleavage. She wiggled a bit and grinned. Loekiya said, "A hot bath, and a bucket full of cherries makes for a very sensual experience. The cherries will color the water wonderfully, while the steam will greatly enhance the aroma." I grinned back at her lasciviously as I thought, "That's my girl." She picked up the remaining handful of cherries, raised them high, and began to apply pressure causing red fluid to trail down her forearm. Loekiya said, "Now, without much further demonstration, you all can get the idea . ." Loekiya tossed her hair back, and brought the handful of cherries to her chest. Squeezing forcefully, the scarlet fluid dripped to her skin, snaking down her cleavage. After a moment of stunned silence, everyone exploded... with applause. Loekiya hopped of the table, and hugged Kaiva, coating her sticky cherry juice.
We were down to one contestant. Poor Kaiva had been suffering from the fainting illness throughout the whole evening, but she insisted she felt well enough to compete. So I said to her "And I have saved the best for last," winked at her, "Kaiva!" Still, with her hand resting on Jamortisea for support, she hesitated and asked for a moment. Samadhi volunteered, "I'll go then if she's still needs time." All heads turned toward him as there was speculation over tempered cherries. I reached into my food pouch, pulled out a handful of cherries, and handed them to him. I said, "And a special guest appearance by Samadhi!" I clapped briefly. Samadhi looks at a handful of yummy cherries. Samadhi looked at me. Samadhi showed me the handful of yummy cherries. Samadhi whispered to me, "And what for the price of cherries be?
And when consumed are gone,
never enough to sate ones appetite.
And always too much for one to dine on alone.
Ah, what price these cherries be?"
Samadhi consumed the handful of yummy cherries.
Evana exclaimed, "He made them disappear!" for no one else heard the whispered poem. Everyone cheered and applauded none the less.
Kaiva stood up and made her way before the crowd. She turned with a playful glint in her eyes, "The recipe I am about to recite comes from a very old tradition in my gypsy lineage." All eyes turned toward Kaiva. I gave her a handful of cherries. She thanked me, as I warmly smiled at her. Kaiva said, "We were a nomadic people, but we also had a great adoration for recreation and relaxation. First things first! You would pluck the cherries from the stem like so.." Kaiva deftly tugged the stem from a cherry, and glanced up with a small grin on her face. She said, "And the pits. Dry and crush them, mix them with other herbs.. and roll them in light leaves, or pack them into pipes!" The crowd murmurred with appreciation. Kaiva said, "But wait! Not only did we resourcefully use these neglected seeds and stems for our smoking pleasure, but we enjoyed it with a fine drink.. 3 parts cherry 'flesh', two parts raki, ice and a half shot from 'vlecthra' which would be identified as these slimy glands you sometimes find. This is actually a poison, but mixes into this drink to produce a certain... tingly sensation"
Samadhi said to Kaiva, "You had ice? We had cold rocks and we were happy to have even them"
Kaiva said, "So, I have described our favorite methods of cherry use"
Kaiva nodded at Samadhi. She said to him, "we had witches :)" Minraed grinned at Kaiva. Kaiva fluttered her eyelashes at Samadhi suggestively.
Loekiya says, "Gods, that sounds delicious . ." Everyone applauded for Kaiva and the two wonderful recipes she offered.
As the judged went off to confer and compare notes, Minraed jumped up to make the dessert she had promised us all. Minraed stepped behind the concession booth and shoved the proprietor out of her way as she began to warm some fresh churned sweet butter in a heavy cast iron skillet over the fire. Minraed added handfuls of plump juicy
cherries and a sprinkle of sugar to the pan. The cherries began to sizzle and a sinfully sweet aroma wafted over everyone. She skillfully swished the cherry mixture about, then poured into the hot pan a long draw of Raki, catching it alight in the cooking flame. Minraed dramatically sloshed the flaming liquid around creating a sensual dance of flames and cherry aroma in the pan. She scooped up spoonfulls of the still flaming syrup and poured it out in flaming streams over dishes of vanilla ice cream, handing them out for all to savour. Minraed announced, "come, help yourselves" Evana smiled. Evana said to Samadhi, "To the food, not to Minraed." Minraed said, "and my cooking, though decadent, is not the reason Belair oathed me"
Loekiya tried not to push as she made her way towards the sinful dish. Everyone gleefully grabbed some and found seats around the tables. Loekiya snagged a dish, and hurried to a table. Evana grabbed food. Samadhi snatched Loekiya's dish as she sat. Evana smiled. Samadhi thanked Loekiya. Loekiya blinked. Loekiya shouted, "ERM! Sam's being mean!!!!!" Samadhi ate his share while he could. Loekiya pouted. Evana stated, "Sam's just being Sam" Loekiya stood with a grumble. I said, "What Evana said." Kaiva looked at Samadhi. Minraed said to Samadhi, "You are troublesome, I knew it the first time I met you." Minraed chuckled. Evana nibbled her cherry stuff. Loekiya stomped back to the stand. Minraed handed Loekiya the largest bowl. Samadhi nodded. Minraed smiled at Loekiya happily. Minraed sayid to Loekiya, "Protect it." Samadhi said, "But there are plenty of other sweet people to offset my saltiness." Loekiya looked around, and ducked back behind the stand. She took the bowl from Minraed, dropped to the the floor, and stuck her face in it before Sam got near her. Evana sat on Samadhi's lap and spilled food all over him. Kaiva sneakily joined Loekiya. Minraed happily licked the spoon. Samadhi rubbed Evana's neck. Kaiva whispered to Loekiya "pig" Loekiya smiled up at Minraed happily. "This is unbelieveable!" I merrily handed out bunches of cherries to everyone.
Belair came up to me after much deliberation. He brushed back some of my hair,leaned over and pressed his lips seductively against my ear to whisper the winners names to me. I announced, "And we have our winners!!" Loekiya poked her head up from behind the stand, and launched a cherry at Samadhi before ducking back down. I stood up on the picnic table and smiled warmly at everyone as I announced, "Our third place winner is Gawain!" Everyone cheered for him. Next I announced, "And in second place for her luscious impromptu performance, we have Loekiya!" A rousing cheer flowed over the crowd. Loekiya threw her head back and cackled with glee. Loekiya bowed to me. I said, "And our grand prize winner of ten orb for the most creative use of cherries, is Luminus and his little gnome!" And there was much rejoicing.
After everyone calmed down some, I said, "I'd like to thank everyone for attending my little event. And please do go to Gadiantor's raffle for being so kind and waiting"
Ermelinde [threshold] I would like to announce the winners of The Nature of Cherries. Our third place winner is Gawain, our second place winner is Loekiya, and the winner of the Grand prize is Luminus and his little gnome!!
....How the Gossip Queen missed all of this is beyond me!
