SING, O GODDESS


[The place that Zagreus brings them to is an abandoned house. Like the rest of Greece, at first the grass and plants are dead, withered. But only at first.

As everyone files into the garden, it starts to slowly come to life. flowers begin to bloom. Fruits and vegetables start to sprout from the soil. The trees begin to grow once more. Wheat stalks slowly pop up out of the ground. Wherever this is, it's clear that life is returning-and the gods are awakening.

It's probably best that they don't return to the underworld, to the House of Hades-but, if anyone wishes to, Charon has arrived with the dead from the previous rounds-now alive-and little baby Ayame. If anyone wishes to go there-though, why would anyone ever willingly go back to the House, knowing you-know-who is probably awake by now?-they can.

But for those who stay here, there is food and drink, wine and bread, fresh meat and ripe crudités. Talk. Plot. Say your goodbyes before you are SHIFTed back to your homeworlds.

Who knows? Maybe there are still some surprises left to be had. But, either way...it is a good day. The new moon will pass. The sun will rise.

The Game-or at least, this variation of it-is over.]



((OoC: And with this, Round 7 is complete! Thank you everyone who participated-we hope you enjoy the aftermath, and stay tuned for the SHIFT Meme and HMD!))

[By the time Alastor arrives, he's dismissed Lucifer's wings and wiped the blood from his mouth. He's been uncharacteristically quiet during the walk, followed by a metallic dragon slowly shedding Red Orbs as the demonic blood smeared on its body crystalizes and falls.

The devil had been saving a special looking something that he'd bought from Charon. To those who know Latin, the label of "Sanguis Virginis" should be warning enough as he pours himself a glass of thick, red wine. Maybe someone is daring and wants to try it? But everyone knows the devil's tastes well enough by now to know it would only appeal to him more if he smelled blood in the vintage.]
