Week one

[letsplayamod]

You've all met Athena, and she's made her point quite clear. She's fully committed to making this world better, and you're the ones who agreed to lend a hand. Something she's obviously quite thankful for.

It's really not so bad around here. Despite the sky, and the state of the land, things are fairly calm. You've got plenty of time to get used to it, and each other. Maybe this'll be easier than it seems.

[Fuck yeah dirt!

Oh, and a shiny thing(tm)! That's cool too.

Ranma's gonna dig through the dirt with his hands to unearth it. Will he be able to gleam what it is?]

[letsplayamod]

[It'll be fairly easy. It's a coin!/b> Not the same as the ones Ranma may have found on his nightstand.

A jagged lightning bolt is printed into both sides. It shines like gold.]

[catsgothistongue]

[Ranma inspects the coin between his fingers, noting the different make than the ones given to them. Old currency from the world when it was still thriving, perhaps? If there's nothing else under the log, Ranma's turning to his bonfire investigating buddies while flicking the coin into the air like some two-faced comic villain.]

Yo, Alex, Misane. Take a look what I found.

[... lil hard for them to do that when you keep tossing it up and down ranma]

[rockymountaindie]

Hold it still, dude.

[cannotunravel]

[Hmmmm! A lightning bolt...]

We know Athena. Could this be related to Zeus...? He's traditionally associated with lightning.

[After Ranma passed it to Misane for examination, she gives it to Alex Here, Alex, as the assistant you get to hold evidence. The detective needs to have her hands free for doing things like digging into warm ash over there]

[rockymountaindie]

...Yeah? No, you're right, he had the...big staff with the glowing lightning bolt, right?

[ He is for the record picturing this Zeus. ]

[cannotunravel]

[The odds of Misane having seen this from her faraway future of 2231 are low, damn. That's why she tries to think if she had ever seen Zeus being depicted like that and came up empty.

Buuuut on the other hand, it'd make sense if Zeus ever had a big staff with a glowing lightning bolt. It'd fit with the lore]

I think so. We're thinking of the same Zeus, I'm sure of it.

[They are and at the same time aren't]

[rockymountaindie]

So, what's it mean? She said... All the other gods here were gone, right? Is this just a leftover offering?

[cannotunravel]

Maybe it's something belonging to whoever built this place up -- the person who made the statues of us. It wasn't Athena, so this might be theirs...

[Probably not, welp]

[rockymountaindie]

So like...some old follower?

[ Theories of weeks past... ]

[cannotunravel]

I can't see it if you keep tossing it around like that.

[Well, she can see a bit of detail: it's a coin. Looking around, she sees where the log was moved]

Good job. That would have been hard to find for most.

[At least for her, with her lack of log-moving capabilities]

[catsgothistongue]

... Fair point.

[Ranma flicks the coin to Misane to let her better examine it. She is the expert between the three of them when it comes to inspections. Also she praised him. That too.]

[cannotunravel]

Part of me feels tempted to toss it into the horn of plenty area, but...losing potentially valuable evidence is bad.

[It's a conundrum, what do we do]

[catsgothistongue]

We oughta wait and ask Athena about it first.

[before they decide to throw into a furnace]
