Week Six

[letsplayamod]

You've survived, for lack of better wording, the latest week of trials and tribulations. This one had been more costly than most: Typhon's machinations have brought your group to nearly half the size it was when Athena first brought you to this island. Whether it ends with him or with you is still too soon to make out. One thing's for certain. Things cannot be allowed to continue as they are.

Speaking of continuing, the next floor has been revealed to you. Just how far down this island goes is a bit of a mystery, but you get the feeling that you're close to something important. Maybe that thing Athena wanted you to find before Typhon does. You can ruminate on that as you watch the waters below. Waves still lap at the cliffs, but it all seems lower than it did weeks ago. Like the ocean itself is shrinking...

[!!!]

Athena?! You're dead??

[letsplayamod]

[/s Odysseus voice:] What.

No, no no. I'm not dead. I'm... I'm not sure where I am. I feel as if I've been asleep for some time.

[sweetsynergy]

You got your ass kicked, huh.

[letsplayamod]

A pleasure as always, Vanity.

It's odd I don't recall what happened. I was out searching, I found the sword, and... It's been like a dream since.

[sweetsynergy]

Yeah, definitely an ass-kicking. Maybe more metaphorical than literally, but asses have been kicked.

[Wait-]

You found the sword, do you still have it NOW?

[letsplayamod]

Yes, I have it here with me.

Wherever 'here' is.

[pariunt]

...Can you describe it? Where you are?

[letsplayamod]

...It's difficult. I can't see anything, only you. It's like a dream, formless. Vague.

[catsgothistongue]

[Good good. We can't lose anymore moms around here!]

What happened? I thought you were searchin' for that ultra-powerful Typhon-slaying weapon.

[What's the hold up???]

[letsplayamod]

I am! And I found it.

[catsgothistongue]

... I'm sensin' there's a 'but' to that sentence.

[stringup]

Urm, I know you just said you're not sure where you are, but can you tell if you've somehow ended up in the Underworld, or someplace similar?

[letsplayamod]

[There's a long pause.]

There's nothing here I can recognize as part of the Underworld. Or... anywhere. It could be a realm of nothingness I was trapped in, or maybe a mirror prison.

I need to investigate further.

[stringup]

Huh...

[ The fact that Athena says that means the concept of an Underworld probably at least exists, but that leaves the question of where she is now even more troubling. ]

Please do, Lady Athena. I guess I hadn't considered that trying to contact the dead could lead to contacting a god instead.
