ENDGAME GROUP 1: Hellscapes (Log 1)

[yourghosthost]

Now then.

[The initial groups have begun to disperse, and Ghostave and a group of stalwart young heroes remain seated right where they are.]

One of the things we’re looking for is supposedly in The Underworld. I intend to use this opportunity to speak to Hades as well, about his intentions.

...As well as find this “other box” that he seems to have so casually mentioned. Do we have any questions before we venture forth?

(ooc: if you’re in group 1, this is one of your logs!)

This one? That was for personal use. Conjuring up a little animated something-something. The ones I'm having you look for were placed there by Walt.

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Yeah okay this is definitely sketchy now.]

What exactly did you conjure?

[memotome]

I conjured up a hellbunny, yeesh. [just holds up fuckin thumper] I was planning on giving my dog a treat.

[jeez, elsa, leave the man be]

[defyingfrigidity]

... I-I see.

[.... Oh okay this went from sketchy to awkward pretty fast. Let's just. Avoid the dog topic.]

So these hidden mickeys... aside from the color and the pattern, is there anything else off about them? Like certain places they might be found...?

[memotome]

Yep. Gonna feed my dog. My dog that I love. Such a good dog.

[:)]

Dunno. I didn’t put em there. Try to think like Walt.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Uuuuggghhhh. Look it was attacking, so...! She had to do something!]

I can't even imagine how a man like that would think. [... Yeah she's still a little sore over how he hid so much from them.

... wait.]

If you're this realm's ruler, wouldn't you be able to tell when a stranger is sneaking around and drawing mysterious sigils?

[memotome]

I’m not omnipotent, honeybunch.

[not_over_yet]

Any notion why he'd want to hide one of these things in your realm to begin with?

[ Is this a divine turf war. ]

[memotome]

To be a total dick, maybe? Don’t ask me.

[not_over_yet]

[ Nice non-answer there. ]

Do these "sigils" do anything on their own, prior to activation?

[memotome]

Nope. They’re a fail-safe, sparky. That’s the only reason they’re there.

[not_over_yet]

Seems likely he picked your realm because it's secluded. People don't typically visit, and if even you find the place too dull to keep note of locations...

[ Absolutely do not find your continuing non-answers suspect, no sir. ]

How did you learn the hidden mickey was somewhere in the underworld to begin with? Your source might be a clue in itself.

[memotome]

His texts. We had access to a lot of em when that little pocket dimension of his got burnt to the ground.

[defyingfrigidity]

... But aren't you a god?

[It's not a mocking tone at all; she's genuinely curious. Most gods were omnipotent on some level, right???]

Hm... are there any areas in the underworld that hold certain significance or some special power? Maybe he put one there...

[memotome]

I am. I’m not some all-seeing, all-powerful one like...

[with disgust:]

Zeus.

And don’t ask me, lady. After eternities running this place, things get pretty samey.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Aha...]

From what I've read, it's a good thing you're not like him. I-I mean, I'm sure the omnipotence would be nice, but everything else...

[Man she's sure glad she didn't read all those stories about Zeus's exploits until after she grew up a little...]

So there's no other important sites, like the River Styx? Or pedestals lile the one you used?

[memotome]

Entirely possible it could be in the other box. Problem is that I just haven’t checked.
