Week Three

[letsplayamod]

A new week rolls around. You are three people lesser than you were at this time last week. No owls mark the horizon, or tall goddesses stroll the pavilion. Wherever Athena's gone, it seems her promise to return promptly hasn't met with success... or worse.

What's more, Typhon's presence now looms over the island. His twisted game now fully realized: if you really wish to leave here, you'll need to get away with murder, and one of your own already failed and reaped the consequences. There's no change for Crito or Sayo's statues on the pavilion. They simply stand silent, watching the rest of you go about your lives as fresh godlings.

It's not all bad, however. The clouds that marked the sky as near-perpetual overcast have started to wane. Stars and sunlight have started to peak through. Within the temples, the strange force keeping you from taking those mysterious stairs has finally vanished. You're free to move to the next level of whatever this shimmering palace has to offer.

...mhm.

I'm... still not used to being asked that question. It's... strange.

[rockymountaindie]

Is it a secret, back home?

[threeapplestall]

...Mortis...

She's come back from a long, long sleep. I... I thought she was gone forever.

But now...

[rockymountaindie]

Now, she's awake.

[ Alex runs a hand over the back of his neck, a nervous tick in a way. ]

I've...never really met anyone with...more than one, uh...person in their body before. [ Before...here. He does not explicitly mention Sayo. ] Is someone going away, and...coming back again, is that...common, do you know?

[threeapplestall]

...after I learned how to play guitar... all of them left.

Mortis too. I don't know how she came back. [This is technically the truth!]

[rockymountaindie]

How many of them were there?

[threeapplestall]

One for every role there was for us to play.

...Mortis... she was the social one. The comedian's daughter.

Now... I guess she's just trying to protect the only other "her" that's left.

[rockymountaindie]

Wow... [ He doesn't entirely understand, but he's not dismissing. He's listening. Nodding to himself. ]

...Thanks for explaining, Mutsumi. All this, it must be...really scary, for both of you.

[threeapplestall]

...it is, but...

Mortis has to be brave for everyone, so... [She's just going to let Alex figure out what she's implying by that!]

[rockymountaindie]

[ He just stares at her for a moment. She's so young to be saying this stuff. ]

We can try and be brave for the two of you, too.

It...doesn't have to just go one way.
