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.

Don't be ridiculous.

[wait for it]

It wasn't JUST me, it was for any subject from the same genetic batch.

[rockymountaindie]

[ ... ]

Your family?

[sweetsynergy]

My-

[Her sisters.]

Predecessors. And any theoretical future subjects that would have come after us.

[yeah, she definitely sounds like she doesn't want to talk about this but can't not, a little]

[rockymountaindie]

[ Alex can be nosy. But, he can also take a hint. ]

...I'm not gonna like...pretend I can really understand. But... Some shit like that keeps showing up for me, too. Dreary-ass shit that freaks me out.

Fuck Typhon, is what I'm saying.

[sweetsynergy]

Ugh, FUCK Typhon.

[That at least she'll agree on.]

[she's not grateful for the topic change shut up]

..you think it was him that made those stupid statues, too?

[They never did quite get an answer out of Athena about that, did they.]

[rockymountaindie]

[ yeah yeah he gets it- ]

I... I dunno. It'd fit, with how rude some of those plaques are... Sayo thought they were a...manifestation of this place.

[sweetsynergy]

Sayo also thought reality conformed to narrative conventions of the noir genre.

[And- technically she hasn't been WRONG wrong so far, but come on.]

Though I guess that's as likely as anything else at this point.

[rockymountaindie]

Reality is proving to be really fuckin' subjective so I think maybe we shouldn't throw stones at the dead girl.

[sweetsynergy]

At least its not a frying pan.

[that's a terrible joke]

[rockymountaindie]

Dude. Come on.

[sweetsynergy]

Crito probably would have thought it was kind of funny.

[rockymountaindie]

Probably would have kind of isn't doing you any favors.
