Week Two
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?

Quark's Bar
no subject
[Professor-- Oh. She means the fuzzball.
Ranma brushes that aside, choosing to focus on studying the cell phone. Those are beyond his time, but if they're anything like payphones...]
To call somebody?
[That's what he's assuming cause what else do you do with phones?]
No luck, I'm guessin'.
no subject
Aoi might not have gathered enough energy yet for the signal to go through. Or somewhere else here has a better signal.
no subject
[Blink blink, letting his brain process that. Did he seriously hear her correctly. Cocking his brow up at that.]
That creep? [Voice incredulous, cause what he gathered from their last conversation is aoi's god. is the literal worse he wholeheartedly desires cratering their face in until they're indistinguishable from a hole in the ground.] Are ya' sure they'll even be half-assed to pick up, let alone actually help?
[They erase girls from literal fucking reality for not ending up with the main protag, why wouldn't they cut their losses and abandon aoi to a death game?]
no subject
[Aoi must see it as natural. If she hasn’t disappeared yet, it might be because God thinks there’s more for her to do in this world.]
no subject
[it's only the fact he likes aoi and she's, odd quirks aside, been nothing but nice this whole time that keeps him from calling her plan what it is: fucking stupid. The rare instance of Ranma using forethought, treasure it.
Folding his arms with a grumble.]
I don't really see how relyin' on one jerk to fix another's mess is that good of an idea... [and most of what aoi says is lost on him somewhat...
... but. What do they have to lose in trying? There's only two ways they can go: Aoi's god leaves them hanging out to dry and they're still stuck here, or they actually care enough to answer Aoi's plea which could either be a hit or miss whether they succeed.
Besides, on the off chance they do show their ugly mug, Ranma might get to sock them them for real. If they actually help, he'll even save it for after, presuming they can 'roll back' Typhon's 'update!
Siiiiiighs in begrudging acquiescence. Ranma pinches the bridge of his nose.]
How do you normally get 'em to pick up?
no subject
Usually once Aoi gets enough CGs, it'll be enough battery power to get a signal to God.
[She frowns a little, staring at the bars on her phone.]
But if the signal is this bad...we need to make more event CGs.
no subject
[Misguided as he may find her ideas to be, Ranma can respect Aoi's moxie. Eeeeeven if he thinks summoning GOD is a braindead plan.]
Great, so we get enough of these CG thingies, you can give 'God' a ring and hope they pick up. Good plan...
[...]
... the heck are CGs? And better question, how the heck do we get 'em?
[still barely knows visual novel lingo and jargon, what do those be]
no subject
So the more things we do to get closer with everybody, the more CGs we get. Aoi was gonna get them to help fix the world before, but we gotta make that the goal of the game again.
Aoi still thinks we should have a beach event.
1/2
[In other words they're like exp. points in a rpg. In art form. Probably. His catalogue of video game knowledge's limited so its prolly not 100% accurate, but he figures putting her words to that context will help him parse it better.
His takeaway to all this: Befriend the shit out of everyone
like they're on an island collecting hope fragmentsand defeat Typhon with the power of friendship and GOD.Yeah, okay.]
A beach party doesn't sound half-bad of an idea. It'd be a huge morale boost! [He
had a bunch of beach episodes in his manga/canonloves going to a beach and taking a tip in the nice refreshingly cool water, so he's on board for this.There's just one small problem, however. And by one...]
2/2
... Pretty sure this island doesn't really have a beach, though. Or swimsuits. Or beachballs...
[... several of them, which Ranma continues to list off on his hand until Aoi stops him.]
no subject
...or ask Athena for help.
no subject
[Aoi...]
Athena would be able to gather the swimsuits and other beach stuff for us at least, so that's taken care of.
[He's assuming she can, on the basis of her providing Astarion all those blood packs in the pantry he keeps accidentally grabbing when he's looking for a snack. Because they couldn't be stored somewhere else instead of where their food is...
That's all she might be able to assist them on there though, Ranma figures. If she could conjure up a beach with her godly abilities, well, they wouldn't be having this conversation.]
I'unno how mine'll help there, besides putting some air in a beachball or pool toy.
[He demonstrates his power with a brief wave of his hand, casting a faint breeze over the cliffside that shifts around some small pebbles.]
