voice testing, and so very nervous

[lesserdeath]

You're actually going through with this? I don't mind, but I was going to try and see Bianca again. I think I deserve a break after helping save the world and all, but I guess you have different plans.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against seeing my friends again, but don't keep me here for long. I have things I need to do.

I guess it was kinda of silly for me to ask for a break then.

[shorttempered]

Like my mom used to say "always ask. the worst that happens is they say no."

[lesserdeath]

Well, apparently I'm getting one because she does have time to "send me anywhere".

[shorttempered]

You're one up on me there.

[lesserdeath]

You're already in a place?

[shorttempered]

Yeah, been there a couple months now.

[lesserdeath]

What's your place like?

[shorttempered]

It's a city built on the back of a giant turtle. Except the turtle's been sick lately and so everyone's a bit on edge, especially the locals.

[lesserdeath]

That sounds like a really slow way to travel.

[shorttempered]

I don't think there's any destination in mind... And it's a really big turtle.

[lesserdeath]

That sounds... exciting. [SARCASM]

[shorttempered]

Hey the place isn't that bad. I wish there wasn't a giant barrier around the turtle, but what can you do?

[lesserdeath]

The barrier is holding you in? Does it do anything else?

[shorttempered]

I... have no idea. Maybe.

[lesserdeath]

Oh. I just thought it would be like Mount Olympus.

[shorttempered]

What's so special about Mount Olympus? Other than, uh, the stuff in legends?

[lesserdeath]

There's that stuff, but we had to protect it against an attack from a titan. Kronos to be exact.

[shorttempered]

You and the, uh, gods?

[lesserdeath]

And other demigods. There are a lot of us.

[shorttempered]

...Are a bunch Zeus'? [He may be familiar with Greek mythology...]

[lesserdeath]

[OK! That makes him laugh.]

Zeus isn't allowed to have kids. Not anymore at least. There was a big pack between him, Poseidon, and Hades to have no more children. I was born before the pack was made, but Poseidon and Zeus broke that promise.

[shorttempered]

From what I've read, I'm not surprised.

[lesserdeath]

Neither am I. Well, once I found out. My dad kinda cheated with me and my sister though.

[shorttempered]

So they all cheated?

[lesserdeath]

I was born before the pack, but my sister and I lived in a casino that isn't affected by time. We stayed there until... well, it's complicated.
