Wow through her under the bus

calaeril walks to her. “What cult! Whom do you worship! How do i spawn the demon!”

The woman hesitated, but returned to hyperventilating. “I… I… I’m not part of a cult! It’s just the Rending!”

EEP! Sorry, I didn't see this

The adjoining chamber was vast, with high, vaulted ceilings and marble pillars space the room.

Thrones of gray marble adorned a raised platform in a ring around the room; many were already occupied by their specific Gods or Goddesses.

It was obvious the space was intended to make one feel small.

Well, smaller.

Hermes waved to her from his own throne, smiling.

Zeus presided at the head of the room.

"Ah, Corysande!" he thundered. "Welcome. Glad to see you received our summons."

haha, thundered . . . hahahahaha

@TwinStorm @Bird Furious @Kajsa @Dragonheir (heir, I can't remember if you wanted to be one of the gods or not, so i'm just going to ping you anyway )

uhhhh was there anyone else?

Corysande wasn’t intimidated. She was one of them, after all. “Zeus,” she greeted in return, inclining her head slightly. 

hahahahahaaaa badum tsssssssss

Aphrodite raised her eyebrows at Corysande. 

@Kajsa

She ignored this, turning back to Zeus. “So. What is it you want from me?”

She put a hand to her blindfold and turned away.

"Sometimes," she answered. "...he wants to marry Lillian."

"May I ask, Corysande . . . where have your sisters gone? Their absence has not gone unnoticed."

. . . Well, that was awkward.

"He's the one who hurt her."

"Well, it's not our job to assign deaths or destinies to mortals," he replied, raising an eyebrow and glancing at the other Olympians.

He dropped the glass shard.

"I... was more hoping for an in-depth explanation of how this power works and what the basis of its existence is."

--

The captain examined Rebel suspiciously. "Perhaps." He turned, waving for Rebel to follow. "Come on then. This is obviously too great a matter for one such as me to decide. I shall see if the king is not too busy to grant you an audience. If he is, one of his officials shall hear your... sales pitch."

“Pulling from my Author’s mind, emergence would effectively allow me to manually find or create patterns in chaos such as the Thread’s lore, play rules and order off of each other to cause chaotic feedback loops; understand emergence, allowing me to keep several things I can do already, most significantly reading my Author’s mind; and finally combine things to create new applications either component would not have, allowing me to create and sculpt emergence into say, a new magic system or power.” He said all of this without stopping, but paused for a paragraph break. 
“As for its existence, it is the most stable possible combination between Order and Chaos my Author could think of. Because of its very nature, I believe it could stabilize its own existence, though of course the clashing will still cripple me in combat. To actually produce it, we’d need to mix together Order and Chaos, but I have a procedure that may work.” 

Rebel followed, nanomachines within his bag making some wares - and some contingencies. Cursed Treasure would be suspicious to summon, though perhaps it had ideas.

I don’t have a life.

 …

It’s bad.

She jerked away, feeling panicked.

“Not too comprehensive, I hope,” she murmured, clasping her hands behind her back. She turned to him. “Did your Author give you a backstory, perchance?”

I wish I had some advice… I basically have scouts, swimming, and D&D. Any of the three (and any other new activities you might take up) is kinda a big time investment, but if you enjoy something already taking more time to do it regularly is probably a good idea. 
The calm reflection looked confused. “What’s wrong? Is it the nightmare again?” 
Rebus grinned. “If you’re trying to spur a quest of some sort, there are still a few loopholes. None that would break the contract immediately, but some portions could be used to her advantage or even driven to absurdity. As for a backstory, I do not at the moment possess one. I do have ‘sidestory’ occurring offscreen, which serves a similar purpose.”

"I . . ." Cricket slumped. No. Not again. He had thought . . . he had thought that if he had killed Malevolence, he could've saved those people. Those people aren't real! screamed a rational voice in his head. It doesn't matter. They could've been real, and they would've died either way. He had failed.

He slumped against the cave wall. He needed to find Rose after her visit with the Dreamsmith and . . . Malevolence. Cricket froze. He had seen what could have been the future if Malevolence survived. He needed to stop him now.

"Rebus!" he screamed, hoping for the Narrator who he didn't trust, but who had saved his life more than once.

@Dragonheir

Rebus tried to appear, hearing the voice through his Author. But it seemed nothing happened. He was flattered that Cricket thought to ask his help, though - once the Dreamsmith trial was truly over, he’d come talk.

Kajsa and I started a plot a little while back, where she made one of the Greek Dates and I ended up playing a Drus once I figured out what was going on

So now she's in a (hopefully short) pseudo-trial at Olympus, and a few of the others wanted to use some of the Greek Gods as their characters

I didn’t see the invitation, but I’d be glad to do it. Who do we have so far?

"Ooooo, cool," Chull said. "Oh--- watch out, Cali! Sometimes cults get violent..." 

He eyed Asher suspiciously.

Testing.

The beach rumbled beneath him, causing the sand to undulate and shift. Bat and Tam sank a little before the shaking stopped.

Curious . . .

Stop! Go--- go make a character to test or something!

I would be willing to offer my character-roleplaying services

"Me and Thirteen. And Fifteen, Sixteen, and Eighteen."

Mmmmmm Zeus, Aphrodite, Ares, Nemesis . . . Hermes . . . and the Fates are off the table for now.

I think that's it for now.

Oh, and Hestia

"Yes!! Look!" 

She nodded thoughtfully. "I don't suppose you'd like for me to see it."

"Yeah kinda," she explained. "Quentin... he's not normal. Not anymore. He hurts Lillian because that's what makes her remember him. She... Quentin... there was an accident. It's... complicated. I'm not going to hurt Lillian. I'm her protector. I stop Quentin."
