Fantasy Welcome To Olympus (ALWAYS ACCEPTING!)

Maw purred, sitting down and leaning against Placido's legs. He watched the two interact, his tail slightly wagging. A L M O S FrostXShadow

Talia

Talia hadn't a need to read in a long time and she usually despised the act, casting it aside as boring if the book had no pictures. She perched casually on a large tree, looking onward at a large field plagued with dandelions. Her hair shifted in the slight breeze and her face had the expression of pure boredom. It had been...a day? Two? She didn't know, she knew nothing but the fact that she was bored and boredom was something she didn't like. The girl also knew that she wanted a good book to read, something that would keep her busy and had lots of pictures. Oh, doesn't old Placido have a bunch of books? The girl drew up the image of the man, his ever existing smell of cigarettes and tired, always ruffled looking character. She huffed, stepping off of the branch and into the air, as if there were a stair case allowing her to go down. Talia closed her eyes, envisioning the large door that led to the god's territory. Her eyes fluttered open and she stood in front of it, a smile gracing her features. With no wish to knock, she folded her arms and shouted with as much annoyance as she could. "Oh hello!"

"Well, faith is a powerful thing. Besides with the right materials, someone could hypothetically craft a contract that would make godhood achievable. It would have been nigh impossible before nearly all the gods tied themselves to worship, but it is perfectly plausible in this day and age. The definition of a god is less about birthright and more about follower count nowadays. Besides, there are plenty of entities, on this world alone, that can grant conditional divinity onto a mortal. As long as they meet those conditions, the metaphorical sky is the limit." Aster ate steadily as he spoke. At some point, he'd started tracing glowing constellations in the air, and was in the process of recreating the northen hemisphere as hos fork moved with a mind of its own.

Aisha waved her hand through the illusion.
"We're in public! You can't do that!"
She sighed and finished the last of her steak.
"Well, we better not get ascended mortals challenging us. While it'd be a change of pace, it would only end badly. It always does when outside forces interfere... plus I'd be pissed if someone killed me. What would I have done? Blown your balloon friend away when you were a kid? Ugh."

Placido

He stood, with his hand still stretched out to Magus, waiting for a response - when the girl stepped through her portal. He looked her over for a few moments, trying to recall who she was. While he did know almost everything, his drinking and dull nature made it nearly impossible to think faster than a normal human. Pair that with literally everything ever known but forgotten by time, and then most of what remains, and he usually took a while to think most things through.

Goddess of Cuteness? That tended to go with loudness, squealing... he felt the grimace threatening the corners of his mouth, "Talia. I have met someone new. This handsome young lad seems at least a little bit unhappy, maybe you two are destined to be fast friends. Maybe a hug for him, while I will take my leave..." He nodded at Magus, mixed with a shrug of apology, and patted Maw, before quickly turning, and getting ready to rush away... or stumble away - just away.

 

[FrostXShadow]

"Magus, Son of Magic" he responded reaching out to shake the mans hand but stopped when he saw the girl come through a portal, "does everyone just kinda pop in here" he asked curiously shaking his head, "Um hello?"

"Magus, Son of Magic" he responded shaking the mans hand. He let go and have a small frown "yes Nekros is a hand full, but he is my brother so I must deal with him" he said giving a long deep sigh of torment

"Oh please. Mortals are so oblivious, that they can't even tell gods are nearby even when we are in these terrible disguises. Besides, the wonderful thing about being who I am is not worrying about the fall out of mortals seeing me do as I please. I merely wear this form to please you though it is starting to grow on me a bit." Having synced up his eating with Aisha's Aster was finishing his plate just as she was finishing her steak. He took a long sip from his wineglass before snapping his fingers and causing the room's ceiling to become a scenic view of the Milky Way swirling in space surrounded, at a distance, by other galaxies.
"It isn't my place to worry about ascended mortals. I can't do much to them unless they try to challenge me or try to start creating their own stars and galaxies. It's one of the reasons I don't visit much. People start getting crazy ideas about such things when I stick around." On a whim, and with the flick of a wrist, he had the ceiling display become a 3D real-time model that spun around the dining room. "Beautiful right? Some of my best work is right here."

Talia

Talia surveyed Placido's reaction to her arrival and sighed, a pout forming on her features. She really wasn't in the mood for hugs at the moment, but she wouldn't mind giving one if it was needed. However, that would have to come promptly after she got what Talia had come for. "Wait! Before you go, I'd like a book. One with a lot of pictures. You know the sort. I'll go give the..." She looked cheerfully at Magnus, who seemed a bit offput by her arrival. She gave him a small wave as she continued. "...odd looking god in just a second." She gestured at him, "Thank you for saying hello, by the way. You're the only one who properly greeted me. You're Magnus, right? Placido probably won't shake your hand for a bit, so here!" She thrust her hand forward, placing it into his and giving it a soft shake. (Sorry, totally forgot that nekros had left) FrostXShadow VanRIPPED A L M O S

I don't think he likes me at the moment."Talia sweeped her eyes over Maw, pleasantly letting out a small mew of affection. She flitted over to the beast, leaning over to give it a couple pats on the head. FrostXShadow VanRIPPED A L M O S

Placido

He frowned at the girl, internally bemoaning her enthusiasm. The fact that she wanted a book from him... a book with pictures? was altogether alarming. Firstly, he doubted he would have something like that, and even then - he worked very hard to maintain a sense of distance and disdain for his fellow gods. For them to start coming to him because of menial favors such as these? Before long they might be wearing out his doormat! "I am afraid, I do not think I have any such books... you might find quite a few down on the planet. Look under toddlers and preschool children, it might be your best bet." He wanted to leave again, and have Magus entertain her, but immediately he started feeling guilty. She just wanted to read something... was that not his entire shtick? He sighed loudly. "... if you want, you can come look through my things... Magus, you can join us, I guess. You too beast." he pointed down the hallway with his glass, taking an extra deep drag of his smoke. His shoulders slumped. Curse his heart.

 

[FrostXShadow]

Magus smiled "yes I am Magus" he responded happily shaking her hand. He turned and looked to the other God "uh sure anything to get away from my brother I suppose" he gave a small shrug.

Maw noticed the girl, moving from his place where he was sitting and gave her a large and long sniff. She had that base smell everyone else did, that divine smell. He purred and wagged his tail yet again, hearing the conversation such as books and pictures. Maw couldnt read, so books were just food to him. His stomach rumbled loudly, and he growled along with it. He was hungry! Perhaps he could search out some more food?

Aisha rubbed her chin and looked at the map.
"I should really check on my safehouses... and build some more. I'm getting into one of those paranoid moods. Should start looking into alien weaponry as well..."

Timic picked himself off the ground. "Damn! It's getting away! We need to capture it to do readings on it! Tim, follow me and grab the mobile containment unit!" He said, grabbing a few instruments and running out the door, following the soaked earth searching for the being. Tim dropped his collected notes and hurriedly picked up a containment unit. "Wait for me! I'm much shorter than you, and you have a head start! We need to strategize containment strategies!" He yelled running off after him. Timicus still sat, mixing blood potions and muttering incantations. VanRIPPED

Maw got bored with what he was doing, moving away from his new friends for now to see if he could find some food. He thought he smelled something, and followed the smell. When he found what the smell came from, he wagged his tail as his stomach growled. He made a loud and excited call and ran at whatever monster was created. His giant maw opened up, and there was a second of pure silence before he bit down on the monster.

Talia

Talia beamed at Placido's words, happily stepping towards the hallway. "I don't really go down to Earth anymore," she frowned, crinkling her nose at the smell of smoke. Why the old guy chose to smoke such things was beyond her, they smelled of adults and sadness. All they do is sit on their devices. They aren't as fun as they used to be." The girl cast her gaze onto Magus with curiosity. "Why do you want to get away from your brother? Aren't siblings fun to be around?" She wouldn't know, though. Talia's family was short on siblings. She had only herself to entertain, but she made do. It would have been so much less boring if she had others to bother.

"Well when your brother happens to be the god of Decay and all things Dark, you try to be nice or steer clear....let's just say being nice didn't work out very well" Magus stated with a deep sigh "well I guess that what you can expect from a true son of Thanatos" he rolled his eyes and huffed at the mentioning of his father. "Ive never been to the human world....what is it like" he asked the girl since she had stated she had been there before.

Placido looked at the two, "Perhaps you can go show him. I have a book to find. I will see if I find you a nice picture book as well." He waved at them both before walking away. He decided he was going to take nap first though.

[I am dead tired. I have to try and sleep, even if only for a few hours. enjoy, and sorry to drop yall.]

 

[Cychotic]

Talia

"Bye, Placido! Get your rest." She gave the man a soft wave and then turned to Magus. Talia forced him to keep up with her as she made her way down the hallway rather quickly. "Decay and all things dark? Sounds ominous. I'll have to meet him sometime, maybe it'll be entertaining if I poke some fun at him," she laughed. Her eyes shone when he mentioned visiting the human world. The goddess had many a fun adventure down at that place, especially since humans were so fun to frolic around with. They didn't have the overbearing omnipotence the gods have and were more susceptible to her childish charms.

"As of now, the human world is very...shiny, yes that's the word. They play on glowing devices called smart phones, and rectangular shaped things called laptops. Instead of travelling in carriages and horse like they used to, they go in cars, which are much faster but are terrible for their environment. The air down there is tainted in certain places, but there are areas where it is so fresh, it almost rivals the breath you take on Olympus." She made a turn, a small gasp escaping her mouth as she set her eyes on the abundance of books. "Placido's collection is huge... But anyhow, humans. They entertain themselves by watching people act things on television. I used to find it weird, humans paying services to watch humans? I understand why they do it, some of the stories are simply hooking. The children are the best, though. They're untainted by the norms and usually very pure. The adults...not so much.".

Talia ran her fingers against the spine of the books, taking a deep breath and inhaling the scent of paper. "Care to help me? I'm looking for a book with a nice story and some vivid pictures," she chirped.

"Well I know what their technology is like since Hades decided he wanted it all down in the underworld, but their logic seems....Flawed I guess you could say" he stated as he looked at the books chuckling slightly when he saw A Percy Jackson book "oh if they only knew" he smiled "what about manga? Those always keep me interested" he suggested

Talia

Talia pulled a dusty book off of the shelf, coughing as dust scattered everywhere. She waved her hands through the cloud, dispersing it and placing the book down on a nearby table. The girl pulled a chair over and gestured for Magus to take a seat in the one next to her. Their logic is indeed flawed, but if it were perfect, wouldn't they not be human?" Her fingers flipped through the pages, scanning through the words with interest. "Manga is huge in Japan, which is in Asia. They have animated pictures of the stories they have in manga. I can see why you like manga, its one of the books I would like to have right now. But I don't think there's any here. Maybe some ancient history?" She flicked her fingers and the book floated back to where it originated from. Another one soon fluttered to take its place. "What genre of manga do you like?

FrostXShadow (That's totally fine, I understand!)

 

[FrostXShadow]

"Well.." he waved his hand over the table and a rather large stack of full metal alchemist books formed from a puff of smoke, " I don't really know the genres of manga, I just picked this one up one day and now I can't stop reading them" he shrug and picked up one of the books flipping through it

"Can we not talk about Cthulhu while I'm around food? That drunken hookup was a mistake if I ever saw one. Just glad that it didn't come from me." Aster shivered ever so slightly. "Anyway, if you want to go, don't let me keep you. Though if you want alien weapons, I marked a galactic shopping mall on one of those star maps. It even has a hyperspace highway that has a station on a star 4.22 light years from here, which is also the closest star to Sol." Aster finished his wine as he prepared to go. "You go on and have fun, kiddo. I've got gifts to deliver still."
