[a few days into the jaunt]

[Natasha's voice comes across terse, as if she's not used to or comfortable with the network...and trying not to let it show. Anymore than it already does, anyway.]

It's pretty clear that the gods are the problem here. I don't know if any of the bigshots here are going to actually convince people to head up Mt. Olympus -- but I think we should try to beat them up there. To do some recon, if nothing else.

Who's with me?

I'd been thinking something similar. I'll come along.

Saying hello to Zeus-sama is the kind of experience I wouldn't want to miss.

I'm definitely in. I've climbed stuff before. I'm also not bothered by the cold - I'm not sure how bad it gets up there.

It might not be... but it's hard to tell with mythic places. At least in my experience.

Monsters, probably. And then there's the gods themselves... easy to piss off, and easy to get in trouble with them.
haremtrap: (Surprise)

I have been told the gods smite anyone who tries to climb the mountain.
haremtrap: (Dude.)

[personal profile] haremtrap 2017-04-15 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Cool. Good luck.
helborn: (i will shove this prosthetic leg)

[personal profile] helborn 2017-04-15 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Probably. Which means we're going to have to be really convincing to get them to do anything.

That may certainly be the most direct route. I admit I am uncertain how much help I would be personally, but if you would not mind me coming along, I would certainly be willing to assist.
haremtrap: (Why this?)

[personal profile] haremtrap 2017-04-15 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of gossip about who's sleeping with who. Nothing useful, yet.

Gods are always the problem. Why is everyone always surprised by that?

[He'll not mention that most of the time, gods aren't even gods.]

The bigger question is why are they doing this? Gods like to have people around to worship them, so creating an environment where people die seems odd.

And do they know about the Arcana and therefore us?

Considering I've been there in my time... I'm going.

Also it might not be the Gods themsleves but something messing with them. It's... kinda happened before. Apollo back home got his powers taken away, long story, but if there's nobody else to deal with the sun...

Sure the fiery ball of gas will illuminate the earth, but it's not quite the same as the sun rising.
not_the_question: Hell Bent (no way)

[personal profile] not_the_question 2017-04-15 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, at least that's something.

The problem is, this time and place, everything is attributed to gods. So, it could be a completely natural event. That's how planets grow: a series of catastrophes.

[He sighs.]

I can fight monsters, I can't fight physics.

[personal profile] helborn 2017-04-15 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... stop messing around with the natural disasters and stuff?
all_onis_are_true: (there's an answer and i'm going to find)

[personal profile] all_onis_are_true 2017-04-15 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I would assume not. But I would still like to see in what ways I can assist.
