Sixth Trial

[letsplayamod]

That will be enough. Enter the arena, now.

[Typhon sounds almost reserved now. His tone no less commanding, he knows you'll need to enter the arena eventually. And, when you do arrive, he's already waiting. Emerged halfway out of the rift to watch you're approach

The wounds accrued in last week's shitshow have been healing, but marks remain. What you did - what Omega did - ate away at parts of him that Typhon is still growing back. At first, he's silent, tentacles of teeth gnashing over his shoulders, bellying a rage.]

Look at you all, a pantheon that shrinks day by day. This is the godly burden Athena has forced upon you. And if she were here, able to...

[He catches himself.]

This... is certain to be an exciting trial, I'm sure. Begin, if you can. I shall be watching intently.

[TRIAL START]

THEY WERE MY FUCKING FRIENDS.

[murchada]

Oh, fuck you, Vanity, they were my friends too, and that hasn't stopped you for one second!

[sweetsynergy]

Ex-CUSE me for fucking CARING, I guess, you've all been so goddamn hard on that, guess I was right that it's been a fucking mistake!

[murchada]

You're not excused! I don't care what personal goddamn revelations you're having, I don't give a shit about your personal fucking growth as a person!

You don't get to have the consideration you refuse to show other people!

[sweetsynergy]

FINE THEN. You wanna do this, do it! I don't care, prove it was me if you're so goddamn sure!

[murchada]

I'm not sure. I'm trying to find out by exploring all the options.

The same damn thing you were doing when you were going at me. So, how about you give me a good reason why it isn't you besides screaming about it? Or else sit down and let the adults do the talking.

[sweetsynergy]

You don't even have an age listed, "adult" my ass!

[priorities]

How 'bout the fucking fact that if I were gonna kill someone, I wouldn't need a knife to do it? Especially not- not them-

[Her voice cracks again a little.]

If it was them I could have done it bare-goddamn-handed, they never tried fighting anything, ever. ...They fucking should have.

[murchada]

You're demonstrating a remarkable lack of memory. Once again. The hypothesis is that the culprit might not have known who they were really fighting.

It doesn't matter how you would fight them.

[sweetsynergy]

Point is I don't normally use blades. I only brought these goddamn things today-

[She angrily rips off the belt holding the xiphe and throws it to the ground.]

CAUSE IT WOULD'VE BEEN THE SAME GODDAMN THING SOME ASSHOLE DID TO THEM.

[murchada]

Thank you, was that so hard?

Now you can go back to, I don't know, planning to do exactly what your supposed friends would hate more than anything. Have fun with that.

[and she spins back to the others so they can talk about other things.]

[sweetsynergy]

Oh FUCK OFF.

[But. She'll shut up and let productivity happen. For now.]

[fillets]

You'll say that, and they'll say "maybe not normally, but." it all goes in circles.

But how would you have wilted the plants?

[sweetsynergy]

Fucking THANK YOU.

[Even if this is not a defense based in what she's most concerned with right now.]
