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!))

[In amidst the returning greenery, quite a few other objects rest as if they'd just fallen from somewhere inside of a very big tree, which is absolutely a metaphor and totally not exactly what happened.

And consciousnesses are stirring.]

[superstylishsquid]

[Morose as he is, curiosity is still heavily embedded in Alastor's nature. He sets his blood wine aside for a moment to instead investigate one of the nearest objects. In a garden favored by at least one god, surely it isn't your typical birdhouses and garden gnomes, right?]

[strangerpeople]

[Oh, certainly not...though this maybe doesn't belong in anyone's garden. This particular one is a sword, and a rather familiar one at that.]

[superstylishsquid]

[It wouldn't happen to be him, would it? The sword that still houses a fragment of his soul and power?]

[pegasinister]

[While wandering and thinking of his Life, Hubert ends up here too, curious about these random items]

[strangerpeople]

[Somewhere in the garden, there is a hat. This hat seems to stand out a bit more than the other objects, somehow.]

[pegasinister]

[a hat? Funny when many of these objects are weapons. He kneels down and picks it up, dusting it off. Certainly not to his usual tastes, but...]

[godspiousjasper]

[ At some point in time or another, it's sure as heck that he's going to find his way over. Even if just to check out what's actually all lying here. ]

[strangerpeople]

[There's...a number of things. Most of them weapons of one kind or another, though some...you'd be hard-pressed to argue as weapons. Then again you can what someone with just about anything.

They certainly look demonic in origin...]

[godspiousjasper]

[ Even if they look demonic in origin, it's not going to stop him from venturing closer. Some of them are likely things he's never really seen before, or their design unlike anything he knows about. ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Once he's done enjoying the sea, he's going to come take a look over at all of this, because...heck, why not? May as well enjoy the sights while it's there, even if it's a bunch of weird items scattered in a field.]

[strangerpeople]

[Moriarty, of course, is already well aware of the sword he is linked to...but there's quite a few interesting things lying about. Like, there's some kind of guitar? And a pair of twin swords that will draw attention just because they're talking to one another.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[....a guitar? and wait - those swords are talking?

He'll pick up the guitar while trying to evesdrop on those swords, because what do swords even talk about?]

[somuchshipping]

[ =] what dis]

[strangerpeople]

[Ah, the resident kleptomaniac. Probably interested in everything that isn't nailed down, right? Clawed gauntlets and greaves. Weird gun thing. Sword. Saxophone. All kinds of stuff.]

[somuchshipping]

[Interesting! VEEEERY interesting! And no one's guarding anything! Hermes will reach out and pick up the first thing that calls to him!]

[exequte]

[.... Huh.

All told, a random assortment of items really isn't like, the weirdest thing she's seen today, not by a long shot, but it's still not what she'd have expected.]

[strangerpeople]

[It really does seem pretty random. Sure, most of them are weapons. But ice skates? Well. I guess those do have blades.]

[unpossibilities]

[Hm? Stuff? Kaito walks over. What stuff speaks to him?]

[strangerpeople]

[Hmm... There's a couple of swords that stand out, and yet don't feel like the link. Something else is going on.

Something of a slightly different nature...a different origin.]

[voidseeing]

[Hmm, now what do we have here...?

Gai is absolutely going to come over to poke around, because life is boring without a little adventure in it.]

[strangerpeople]

[It sure is. And while there's plenty to see...Gai will most likely find himself looking at some armor. Gauntlets, greaves, a facemask, and wing-like back armor.

The set feels a bit familiar.]

[lovedthemost]

[Brain does take a brief stroll through the garden, if nothing else than to commit this place to memory]

[yesorwoof]

[Makima wanders over here in true spirit of "whee I have a sword".]
