Week Two

[letsplayamod]

Okay, maybe it hasn't been so easy. You've been enjoying a relatively pleasant time here with your fellow gods and Athena, only for a disgruntled Titan to seemingly pull the rug out from under that.

Despite the immediate threat from a hidden foe, you've managed to stave off their first attack. However, even if the grass may seem greener this week, or the sky a bit clearer, Athena can barely hide her troubled feelings. If this experiment is to be a success, what has to happen to make it that way?

You're all alive, though. That's worth celebrating, isn't it?

...SO YOU DO NOT TRUST ME EITHER. I SUPPOSE THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED.

[ He tilts himself to the side, as if turning his head, placing his hands on his hips. ]

STILL, IT IS NOT HARD TO TELL THAT YOU ARE HIDING SOMETHING, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS JUST FROM ME.

[rockymountaindie]

[ No shit, he thinks. Of course he doesn't trust him. That seems natural, from his perspective.

Somewhat incredulously, Alex repeats, ] Hiding something. I think I've been pretty fuckin' forthcoming, you bucket of—

[ But... Omega wasn't awake that first day. Alex exhales harshly through his nose. ]

I'm not hidin' anything, okay? You just don't need to know about it.

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega stares at him long and hard, before spinning both his upper and lower half around. ]

I SEE NOW THAT IF TRUST IS TO BE RECEIVED IT MUST BE GIVEN. VERY WELL ALEXANDER. PROCEED WITH YOUR BUSINESS.

[ And he begins clanking away. ]

[rockymountaindie]

[ Huh. He turns like that? ...No, when Alex thinks about it, that makes sense. ]

Fucking thank you.

[ ...He's just gonna leave? Just like that? Alex is pretty content to let him, honestly. But. He calls after: ]

...You get why people're freaked out by you. Right?

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega stops, and his upper body spins around to face Alex again with his legs remaining the direction they’re facing. ]

OF COURSE I DO. I AM A WAR MACHINE CREATED BY A MAD MAN. ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN PROUD OF THE FEAR I INSPIRE IN OTHERS.

[ He raises his hands and looks at them. His horrible, pointed claw hands. ]

ONLY TWO PEOPLE HAVE EVER SEEN ME AS MORE THAN THAT. AND NOW…NOW LADY ATHENA BELIEVES IN ME TOO. BELIEVES I CAN BE A PROTECTOR, RATHER THAN A DESTROYER. SHE BELIEVES IN ME, IN WAYS MY CREATOR NEVER DID.

[ Omega lowers his arms and looks back at Alex. ]

IT IS NOT EASY, WHEN YOU ARE MADE FOR ONE THING AND TRYING TO BE ANOTHER. BUT PLEASE BELIEVE THAT I AM TRYING, IF NOTHING ELSE, JUST AS I WILL TRY TO ACCOUNT FOR YOUR DISCOMFORT WITH ME.

[rockymountaindie]

[ Alex and the little Eye-Pod in his arms look at Omega. Listen to him. While he stays visibly wary, he does do that. ]

...I hope she's right, okay? I really do. [ He knows what it's like to try to do a good thing and get labeled something else for it. He wants to sympathize. But... ] If you want a place to start, you can not throw your guns out at every little twitch.

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega nods with his torso. ]

I WILL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE, ALEXANDER.

[ This will go on to help convince him to listen to Cerejeira the next day, so it won’t completely fall on deaf audio receptors. ]

[rockymountaindie]

[ Honestly? A victory. ]

...Yeah, don't mention it. Just do it.

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega nods one more time, and walks away. ]
