[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 am going to climb, and maybe take a lady here with a spear who seems appropriately hero. I am four legged currently and not two, but it seems as if someone must do something soon. I would fly but my wings are tiny and flying without using them may draw attention in the bad way.

[meanballerina]

Agreed. Flying would attract more attention than we...

[Wait. Rewind.]

Four-legged currently? How did that happen?

[maximumest]

I have no idea. It just did.

[meanballerina]

Maybe you'll be better off climbing the mountain than those of us stuck with two legs...

Who's the lady you want to bring along?

[maximumest]

It helps on balance, that's certain. I miss having thumbs though. She is a warrior from the local town, skilled enough to be hunting something called 'gorgons'. She wants to stop what's going on. Bringing someone who belongs here seems a good idea, in case the Gods can tell.

[meanballerina]

True. But it makes it harder for the ones investigating to talk freely.

[maximumest]

Unless she can eavesdrop on people's thoughts there's no reason everyone investigating can't do exactly what we are right now.
