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?

[Well, that was certainly... something. Manulov had been content to lounge around for much of the past week perusing what was left of the manuscripts, but now things were getting... uhhh... complicated. It would be worth it to prepare for another attack, wouldn't it?

So... well, time to actually get used to his new body. Between getting into a spat with Quark and just being kind of tired from the experience, he'd elected to go to bed instead of hitting the bar... so he's actually up pretty early. Comparatively. You know, for a cat.

He has avoided the training grounds so far, but now he's going to give the obstacle course a shot. It's time... to TRANSFORM... and start RUNNING IT....

...you may see a big buff furry giving it a shot. Or, if you come not especially long after he starts his attempts, you may find the usual housecat-sized Manulov napping on top of one of the climbing walls. Maybe his god power makes him just a little eepy...

After his little catnap, he decides to finally hit the cornucopia, and... hm. He is having fun with his haul. ...He's kind of amused by it, actually, and decides to don the top hat and the pink mustache, at least as he hangs out around the cornucopia to see if anyone wants to trade. That seems like a decent basis for an economy, right? Plus there's some stuff he doesn't know what to do with, like this... thing with the buttons?]

...goodness, is this a phone? How strange.

[necromants]

[Well, yesterday sure was a thing! But Zvei seems as chipper as ever without any sort of indication that he's bothered at all by anything that happened, so that's probably fine!!

The first order of business today is to pay a visit to the cornucopia to trade in those tokens for... stuff. Zvei's interest is immediately on the notebook and he flips through the pages looking delighted; apparently whatever they say is very interesting, even moreso than the live chicken now running around? Uh. Okay.

A bit later, you can find him carrying said chicken into scroll storage. Why. Okay, well the chicken is thankfully fairly well-behaved, just idly wandering around when Zvei sets her down and starts going through said scrolls. After a little bit of writing in that notebook he received, Zvei will look up and over at said chicken...]

You're going to need a name, aren't you? I wonder... What would be a good name for a chicken?

[Totally normal things are happening in here today.]

scroll storage

[rockymountaindie]

[ Ah, here we are again... ]

Wha- where'd that come from?

Training Grounds

[cannotunravel]

I'm sure nobody expected you'd be able to do this in battle. Interesting.

[She's watching Manulov moving around. What a buff cat he is now. Interesting]

Scroll Storage

[cannotunravel]

The name depends on what you will do with the chicken.

[That's a very pivotal factor, she thinks!]

[literarybehemoth]

Believe me, I was the last person who expected something like this.

[...he IS getting tired, so perhaps he will slow down to take a break...]

I suppose it is nice to think that I will be able to reach high shelves without doing acrobatics, I think.

[necromants]

[Very normal murdergame things happening in this building!]

Would you believe me if I said I found it in the pantry?

[This is a joke, but he delivers it in the same tone of everything else he says????]

[necromants]

[Nodding, nodding... wait.]

I don't think most people would think to name a chicken if they planned on eating it.

[rockymountaindie]

[ HOW DOES HE KNOW IT'S A JOKE THEN. ]

...Maybe. This place is weird enough.

[necromants]

[That's the fun part, you don't!]

Then you'll be pleased to note that this was not supposed to be dinner for us tonight. I actually received it when I made my offerings.

[..........okay but maybe THIS one's the joke, how would you know!!!]

[rockymountaindie]

[ RIGHT LIKE HOW TO TELL!!!!

However, recognition does pass over Alex's face. ]

...That makes sense. What's a chicken but a smaller, feather-covered dragon, after all?

[ what. ]

CHIMKEN IN THE SCROLL STORAGE

[catsgothistongue]

[Strolling in the scrolling room annnnnnd that's a chicken. That's an honest to athena live chicken clucking about]

I didn't know this place had a ranch.

[He's being facetious, he's combed this island top to bottom and found no farms or other animals other than the ones idolized in the pavilion.]

[necromants]

[wait did you turn the tables on him, is he now being punked??]

I have never thought of it like that! Do you think they share a common ancestor?

[He's just gonna roll with it though, why not!]

[necromants]

It doesn't! Yet. It likely should, if we're to see more of these little ones.

[Which we likely will, given that apparently we can just get chickens from our coins?? Wild. Not that Zvei explains any of this! Chimken is totally fine wandering around on her own for now, but you're welcome to pet her if you want! She's well-behaved.]

[rockymountaindie]

Uhhhh, maybe...? [ oh he's actually thinking about it. ] I guess if those scientists could say dinosaurs became birds, maybe dragons could too? In places dragons are, you know, real?

[ they're just gonna go on like this huh. ]

[necromants]

Has that been confirmed in your world? That dinosaurs are connected to birds? It's a theory among several scientists in Aelios, but most people are more concerned with the connections to monsters rather than between animals... though given there are quite a few connections between monsters and animals to begin with, it isn't a farfetched idea at all that dinosaurs could eventually become birds. So for dragons to be related to chickens is entirely within the realm of possibility! I'd love to study such things more in depth, but without any dragons here - and the various differences between worlds - it might be easier said than done.

[me dragging my hands down my face at my own character, i'm so sorry about him.]

[rockymountaindie]

[ no this is EXCELLENT ]

W-weeell, it's a, a theory? Some really believe it. I always kinda thought so. [ I had a bet with my best friend when we were little— No, Tod isn't a subject for casual conversation anymore.

Anyway. ] And I mean- there is one. Here, you know?

[necromants]

Oh, you're right! Ferdinand's companion - I'd completely forgotten!

[i was the one who completely forgot lmao]

I'll have to ask him if I can get a look at it at some point; I am very curious about the differences between that one and the dragons of my own world!

[rockymountaindie]

...Well. Ferdinand did call him a...wyvern, but he sure looked like a dragon to me.

[ this is alex using an improper name 😔 it's fine you were DISTRACTED by your new CHICKEN DAUGHTER who would not be!!! ]

He's probably tied up somewhere. Like a...flying horse. [ ... ] A not-Luna flying horse.

Cornucopia

[yourheroine]

[Looks like business is booming for Professor Kitty.]

Boop boop...you look so fancy.

[Aoi admires Manulov's new look, then she sees what he's fiddling with and her eyes widen.]

Is that Aoi's phone? They got that too?
