[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?

It doesn't look that tall...

[helborn]

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

[meanballerina]

What does your experience say we should look out for?

[helborn]

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

[meanballerina]

And considering all the...everything...that's happening down here, chances are low they're going to be in a good mood.

[helborn]

Probably. Which means we're going to have to be really convincing to get them to do anything.

[meanballerina]

I'll settled for figuring out what we need them to do first.

[helborn]

Uh... stop messing around with the natural disasters and stuff?

[meanballerina]

I think we'll have to do more than ask nicely to make them stop.

[helborn]

... Look, if you're talking about going to fight gods you need to realize people are going to probably die. I know that's not as much of an issue here, but...

[meanballerina]

I'm not planning to fight them. I meant that weaseling whatever's wrong out of the gods is just the first step. Actually providing a solution to the problem is going to be the next one.

[helborn]

... Okay good, I'm used to Norse gods which are much more quick to fight. Not like the Greeks aren't either, but not at the same level.

[meanballerina]

Don't worry. I don't actually advocate for punching gods.

[Unless you can win the fight, anyway.]
