Endgame: Part 2

[letsplayamod]

The week goes on. A small miracle, how quiet it is. With no motives or attacks to speak of, you can breathe a sigh of relief even when a tension gripes the air. So few of you now, what exactly would you do were Typhon to return and decide the game was over? Was Athena always going to be out of reach? And what exactly did she want you to find in the center of this mountain temple, anyway?

Questions abound, and no answers.

...Until this morning. The sky itself is clear with very few clouds, but something still falls into your home. Not "physically," though, it's more of a feeling. The sensation of some great power entering this space. Everyone will notice it, and the way it passes by, sinking beneath the floors - all the way to the bottom level.

And there it ends up, waiting for someone brave enough to investigate.

It’s Athena! Aoi has signal now!

[She sounds excited as she dials the number.]

[murchada]

Wait, seriously--?

[She's just coming up to stand near Aoi's shoulder and take a peek while she calls, because. aaaaaaaaaahhh???]

[raisethemoon]

Oh!

[ A part of her would like to be annoyed that Athena is only just returning now, but she's sure it's more complicated than that. She should be reasonable. ]

[fillets]

Indeed, it is.

[ WHERE DID SHE COME FROM... ]

I can feel her in the depths of this place. Are we all armed?

[raisethemoon]

As much as ever.

[ Luna hasn't really been using weaponry at all, but she's got it handled! ]

[fillets]

I assumed the same of Astarion, honestly... still! I'm glad to hear it.

[murchada]

Sure. Don't I look ready to brawl?

[Looks the same as always.]

[fillets]

It's hard to say! You always look like a light breeze might do you in.

[ she's honestly not attempting to be mean with this and she does register the sarcasm, it's just like? a factual statement as far as she sees it ]

[yourheroine]

Aoi’s feeling fully charged. Ready to support you all!

[fillets]

Good, good.

[ Anyway, let the record show she's got a longsword! ]

[pariunt]

Of course.

[Just because he's not currently brandishing a dagger doesn't mean he's not prepared.]

[fillets]

Of course. I should know better than to ask something so silly.

[stringup]

As armed as I can be, I guess.

[fillets]

That thing we were talking about last week... did you make any progress?

[sweetsynergy]

Always. But more than usual

[fillets]

[ hell yeah vanity she knew you got her now let's go kill a god! i mean what ]

[brokenhabit]

Well. Less so armed but... I do feel fully powered.

[ She's still glowing and a bunch of vines have surfaced behind her ready to go!

...one is carrying a kitchen knife. It's trying to be helpful. ]

[raisethemoon]

[ Luna's a little beyond laughter lately, but she does crack a smile at that sight. ]

[fillets]

[ oh she loves this on principle ]

[pariunt]

[Oh, he is delighted by that sight.]

[catsgothistongue]

[Cracking his knuckles loudly, with that cocksure smirk of his. He's got the Kinjakan and the trident tied to his back, as back up.]

I was born ready.

[he says like op still doesn't have an hour left before they can go home and actually hop on oof]

[fillets]

That's the sort of thing I like to hear—

[ Aoi has already gone down the stairs! ]

Hey!

[sweetsynergy]

Wow, really?

[sweetsynergy]

[Vanity frowns cautiously at that. Still in her combat uniform, the Twin Fists ready, but lacking the daggers she brought to Seymour's trial.]

Time to end it, huh.

[brokenhabit]

Really?! She's returning...?!
