Gathering those Plot Bunnies [very end of week two]

[ninjayeehaw]

Alright, so - never thought I'd be sayin' this, but - thanks t'Zed, I think I got a workin' idea 'f what's been happenin' behind the scenes here.

'cos without him, Yakumo wouldn't a' gotten turned back into an Investigator. First thing he done did was find me an' tell me how the Titans're throwin' a coup a' the gods. He ain't got too much info yet - turns out storm spirits ain't got the greatest sense a' focus - but at least one a' them's a Traveller, that English wizard guy.

[you know, the other one]

An' Galen, Tachibana's overlay, said that when he went t'go talk t'em earlier--

[And a memory of Galen's voice, sullenly furious, speaks.]

"Something has bewitched the gods and dulled them to blindness. For the barest fleeting moment there was intelligence in Apollo's eye, but it dulled like embers in ice, leaving only disinterested arrogance in its wake."

[And then back to Kinji's own.]

--so they're doin' somethin' directly t'mess with the gods an' make 'em complacent in their own demise.

So here's where it gets tricky. Yakumo thinks he can get me an in with the Titans - the storm spirits seem t'have all taken a likin' t'me, and they're already in on whatever the hell this plan is with the Titans, so unless there's any volunteers, I'll be goin' an sneakin' into that.

An' that means somebody else oughta try goin' back up the mountain t'try an' talk some sense into the gods. An' I reckon y'all might be able t'do that with some kinda skill that can clear their minds. I know there's a Song fer that, I can pass that on if'n someone needs it, but there's gotta be other ways that work better. If teleportin' or climbin's too far, I can make some kites an' Yakumo an' the other storm spirits can fly people up the mountain. It ain't too safe but it's a right sight faster than teleportin' or climbin' on foot.



...so. Thoughts?

What did he look like?

[helborn]

Uh... drunk, had dark brown hair, a little bit of a mullet in the back, always frowning... he had a bow, too.

[ninjayeehaw]

Weren't one a' these guys, was it?

[And he flashes images of Shiro, Hajime and Kenzaki - the only people he knows so far that are Heraclides.]

[helborn]

That second one.

[ninjayeehaw]

[Guess who sounds long-suffering]

Aaaan' looks like Hajime's pickin' more fights. Great.

[helborn]

Not new for him?

[ninjayeehaw]

He's normally better at not gettin' into 'em than this. He ain't normally drunk, neither.

[helborn]

Yeah well, he is now. I don't know that he can hurt me all that badly though, so it should be fine.

[ninjayeehaw]

Don't gotta tell me twice, I already fought him that many times.

[helborn]

I'll just do my best to steer clear of him. We don't exactly need to be caught up into extra fights.

[theflyingone]

He had... He was carrying a bit of fish on his back?

[ The 80s were yet to be, but he knew the French word for a Mediterranean fish. ]

[helborn]

... No, it's - it's a hairstyle. Short at the front, long in the back.

[theflyingone]

To protect the back of his neck from burning. I see. I do not know him, but I will be watchful. A skilled archer is difficult to evade.

[helborn]

I don't know if it's to protect his neck more than just... a fashion choice. Or just how his hair naturally grows.
