[So, this week is shaping up to be a barrel of laughs, isn't it? And Axel intends to take full advantage of it.

Never mind that this could come around full circle to bite him in the ass later. With the SFC turned on he shows up, grinning with his head rested in his hand.

Hello, Vatheon.]

Let's play a game. A bonding exercise, if you will. I figure it'll lift everyone's spirits a little.

On a scale from 1 to 10, let's tell each other how attractive we think we are. Then we'll take turns explaining why. Sound good?

(( ooc: Threadjacking is totally cool, btw ))

It is, a little.

Greek? Umm, like Cerberus and that dragon with lots of heads? Do they all have too many heads...?

[ex_knowledge575]

Can a person regain their heart?

[ Annabeth laughs kindly. ] You got it. Too many of them do but not all of them. Some just have one big head and that's enough. Although if I never fought a Hydra again it'd be too soon.

[coolerthansora]

Yeah, but... That can be sad, too.

It did seem pretty tough.

[ex_knowledge575]

How so?

The legends and myths are pretty accurate with these things, unfortunately.

[coolerthansora]

Because- [His expression tightens, he doesn't really want to get into this, but it just comes out anyway.]

Sometimes when that happens, a Nobody is born, too, and if we become whole again-- we're not us anymore.

[ex_knowledge575]

[ Annabeth notices straight away that she's hit on a difficult, yet potentially interesting topic. ] Oh, hey, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I don't want to accidentally take advantage of the curse.

[coolerthansora]

T-thanks. It's kind of personal.

[ex_knowledge575]

No worries. There are plenty of things I wouldn't want to talk about either.

[coolerthansora]

Everybody has stuff like that.

[ex_knowledge575]

Yeah. Which is why this curse is so dangerous. I wonder what the gods of this place are thinking.

[coolerthansora]

The gods? I don't think they have much to do with it.

[ex_knowledge575]

Oh. Well who curses us then?

[coolerthansora]

The scientists. They use the coral to do it somehow.

[ex_knowledge575]

I had no idea. I just assumed that Lamufao did it somehow. Gods can be pretty nasty where I'm from.

[coolerthansora]

I don't know if the coral is actually a god or if people just see it that way...

[ex_knowledge575]

Mm, I was starting to wonder that myself. The gods I know are sentient, for one. But then I guess people need something to believe in.

What makes you suspicious about it?

[coolerthansora]

I dunno. Just, it's never tried to communicate or anything, and the locals are kind of... drugged up.

[ex_knowledge575]

Yeah. They seem to be part of this whole big experiment too. Maybe they want us to see it as a god?

[coolerthansora]

Like to make us stop questioning why stuff happens?
