Gathering those Plot Bunnies [very end of week two]
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?

I just wasn't expecting any of the other Travellers to have a connection to him.
no subject
...You have a connection to Orpheus, too?
no subject
Was my nephew.

[There's a short pause.]
So hearing his name in circumstances like this... I'm sorry.
no subject
I like to hear his name though. Know people still remember him.

[She... probably shouldn't mention the time Thanatos ripped his way out of Orpheus, then. Not that she was planning to in the first place, because it's not the sort of thing you just tell to someone you've just met, but still.]
no subject
[And she doesn't just mean the whole ending up as a severed head for millenia part]
My brother finally stepped in a while back. But even that came at a price.
no subject
[Because she can't see something like this having a small price.]

[Minako knows that all too well.]
