techalaniani. [cw: dr...ugs...]
[ It’s about two weeks after the chaos that’s hit Highstorm and Springstar both. The dust has had time to settle and people have started to pick themselves back up. And in that busy time, the Shard-Bearers of Kenos are touched by someone new. It’s a mind that gives the impression of vastness in the way that other gods and similarly supernatural creatures have. There’s dark, fragrant smoke of copal, and the humid heat of a rainforest. It probably feels faintly familiar to some, since there’s just a hint of that warmth that feels similar to a certain sun god(dess)…
But as it focuses, that warmth seems to be coming from a campfire, perhaps oddly. The logs around it offer you a “seat”, whether proverbial or not, and it’s only if you take one that the speak themselves will come into more focus. But the introduction that comes with it is much cooler (in both senses of the word) than the bubbly Quetzalcoatl. ]
Yo.
[ …Is that how the newest god is greeting the masses? Yep. Apparently so. ]
I talked to enough people when Kenos was jerking me around [ no, that was me, the player, ] that Communion is just more efficient. So, for those I’ve met and for those I haven’t, consider this a more formal greeting. You’ve removed my brother Quetzalcoatl and allowed me to descend in his stead.
[ And even though he’s identified Quetzalcoatl as his brother… The smirk in that statement is unmistakable. He’s pleased that Quetzalcoatl is dead. For those that know the mythology of the Aztec pantheon even faintly, this wouldn’t be a surprise at all, since Quetzalcoatl only has one enemy that would be glad to see the feathered serpent fall. ]
Name’s Tezcatlipoca. Tloque nahuaque. [ The Nahuatl is spoken with a sense of power that’s subtle, but still raw, even though there’s no one that would understand it. Still, it conveys the idea well enough—this is no minor god of that pantheon. ] If you know me, great, and if you don’t, well. Met your god Set one of the times I was stoppin’ by, and our whole deal is similar enough. I am conflict, so in the spirit of fairness, I’ve thrown my lot in with Zenith. Can’t have two gods that oversee war and conflict on the same side, yeah?
[ There’s humor in his tone that makes it seem like it’s a joke, but… No. It’s not. That’s a pretty significant part of his rationale for picking Zenith. Thanks Set!/Don’t worry about. ]
Anyways. All that formal shit aside, easy one to follow it all up. Ain’t often that I got a human body to enjoy getting fucked up. So, if you’ve got a preference for weed, hit me up. Workin’ on somethin’ artisanal there, but I wanna know the poisons of preference for the locals. Let me know what you get fucked up on, and I might even make it worth your while.
[ …So. You know. That’s one way to introduce yourself. ]

No, I prefer flowers. Would you not normally want to get rid of those? They are pests in the fields.
[Though he suppose there are weeds that are pretty enough to collect. He's not sure it's poisonous either, or what he means by "fucked up" (Someone needs to teach him the meaning), but that's his take.]
From your words, it sounds like you are a deity of sorts. I am not familiar with the name though.
[He's surprised, but also, not so much. It isn't like it was unreasonable to believes that even objects can have lives after a century, so a deity descending is possible.]
no subject
[ Like, it's one thing to not partake, but come on! You have to at least have heard of it, unless you're from a totally different world or something. He guesses. ]
But, yeah, I am.
[ He's at least not offended by not being recognized, since he's realistic there. His pantheon has faded to more of a historical curiosity, even with some still worshipping. It's definitely not what it used to be half a millenia ago. ]
I'm a god of the Aztecs, or if you blur the lines a little because it gets fuzzy anyways, Mesoamerica as a whole.
no subject
[He can probably feel the confusion that is emitted from Hiiro. A cold drug? A frozen drug? He gets drug as medicine at least, but why is it called a weed?]
You are right though. I never left my village most of my life, so I am still ignorant to many things. It seems like I might learn a lot from you, since you are a god.
no subject
Uh, yeah. Seems like it, but we're starting at like, square one here if you don't even know "chill". Your village really that— [ He's about to use slang again, but nope, he's not going to know it. So. ] ...Boring? Isolated? Take your pick for a description here.
