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?

[Deep breath.]

Your. Shit. Isn't. Working.

[technically she says each word carefully]

Are you actually going to tell us anything useful about all this, or keep being vague?

[mygoodbye]

Then. Be. Better. Than. Me.

[Athena rises back to her full height, stonefaced.]

The gods of this world are dead. Everything is dead. Typhon should not be here. And, because he is, I have to deal with him.

[And she's leaving again.]

[sweetsynergy]

Then tell us how he was fucking dealt with last time, dammit!

He was beaten! When he challenged Zeus for control of the cosmos, we crushed him and his brothers under the might of Olympus! His pieces were scattered to the farthest depths of Tartarus to reform, constrained in the dark beneath the island of Ischia. How many times do I have to explain it until you--

There's no way he would be able to escape, ordinarily. This is obviously a special case. I do not know how he escaped, or why he's shown up now. But before anyone gets hurt, I need to stop him.

Is there anything else?

[Ahem.]

Do you actually believe you can beat him alone? Because if you run in and die I really don't think he's just going to get bored of us and leave.

[mygoodbye]

[technically it would probably be something like "great herakles weepinbell"]

It's exceeding difficult to kill a god. That's part of why we were able to defeat the Titans in the first place. Typhon won't have anything that can put me down for long.

[Blink and you'll miss it, but it feels like Athena's gaze softens.]

You've already been forced to experience the dangers of a Titan. You performed well, especially with that sword. But you're new; mortal in a way that I've never been... You're my responsibility, so I can't ask you to do more than you've already done.

I do have an ally who may assist me. I hoped my message would reach her in time, but if Typhon is choosing to move now, I can't wait any longer.

[sweetsynergy]

Difficult but not impossible, apparently.

[Collapsing a galaxy-spanning conglomeration of mega-corporations was pretty impossible too.]

Fine, whatever. But if he's fucking playing you I'm gonna be salty about not getting to say I told you so in person.

[mygoodbye]

Precisely why I don't use the word. I know better than to claim complete immortality on anything.

[The bigger they are, the harder they are to kill, but that doesn't make it impossible.]

I will hold you to that, Vanity. I hope to see you alive by then.

[Oh, he is definitely taking note of this...]
