Labyrinth

From the look of it, Senna was not stopped or anything. Thus, she arrived at the first floor without incident. Just outside of the entrance to the Labyrinth was a stone statue, carved in the shape of a humanoid...thing. It didn't seem to have any defining traits, seeming like a misshapen mannequin more than anything else. It had probably been worn down by time.

Regardless, the cavern was entered, and the sprawling landscape of Hell itself appeared before the eleven year old girl.

Well, not really. It was just floor one, after all. It was just a cave, a long tunnel that laid out in front of her. A bit musty. Not too damp. Kinda dark but not super-dark, for some reason.

"Kikikikikikiki..."

The moment Senna's footsteps struck the cavern floor, a weird-ass laugh reverberated throughout the cave. Like seriously, it was a weird fucking laugh.

-And mere moments later, the shadows bent, and out of the darkness stepped...

The first guardian of this damnable crypt.

A green-skinned man...thing, standing at about four feet in height, wearing rags that may or may not have been made out of toilet paper, and wielding a very poor-looking rusty sword.

"Kikikikiki...."

Labyrinth

Cernunnos grinned wryly, swaying her weight from one foot to the other as her right hand reached behind her back. "Weeeeell, it's not really all that special, but I figure it'll help you out a bit~" She hummed, stepping forwards until the distance between the two little girls had become utterly scarce. "Alright, now, listen veeery carefully." She chimed. Never dropping her grin, the God leaned forwards, as if to whisper a secret into Senna's ear...

-Only to drag a quick lick along said ear and then vanish from sight once more.

Fuck's sake, Cern. She's eleven.

After Cernunnos vanished, Senna would probably be able to catch sight of a wooden bow on the ground in front of her, similar to the one Senna herself already owned save for being just a pinch larger. After a brief couple of seconds, a familiar voice with an upward lilt melted inside would be heard inside of the ranger's mind, though its speaker was still nowhere to be seen.

'Magic bow! How about that? These things actually used to be standard loadout for my beginning Guild members back in the day, but I've only got a couple now. Had it shrunk a bit for easier use. It's magic, so it's really, reeeaaally strong; no matter how hard you pull the bowstring, it should be a-okay! Also...eh, there's a second thing, but I don't wanna tell you until you've got magic, or you might accidentally kill yourself by overusing it. Have fun out there, kitten~'

Cernunnos

As the young Senna Small-stalk began scouring the Southern district in search of Cernunnos, she would be completely unaware as to the truth of the matter.

This truth was, predictably, that Cernunnos had been walking behind her from the moment she had entered said district. As was her divine right, the idea of being noticed by a mere human, even one enhanced by her own power, was laughable. Among the gods, her skill for "concealment" was unquestionably the highest; even that damned other God with that stupid "see the truth of the world" power would be hard-pressed to find Cernunnos when she did not wish to be found.

As such, Senna's search continued for several minutes without bearing fruit.

Ah, but one might ask, is Cernunnos not always busy? How does she have enough time to spend to where she can waste time doing this?

The answer is simple: this is not a waste of time, this is entertainment. And, after all, why be busy with things if they are not entertaining? Such is the mind of Cernunnos.

After a decent stretch of time, still walking behind Senna, Cernunnos deactivated her concealment and spoke aloud.

"What are you looking for, little girl?" Asked the little girl.

...

...

...

"Eheheh, kidding, kidding! You're heading out today, right? You want a present?"

Labyrinth

o_o not a single bit sense was made out of that from this end!

@Blizz

This is ordinarily the point where I'd snap and post a methodical tearing apart of that trash you called a character, but I really just don't have the force of will to do that at the moment. I'm not in the mood to be a tyrant, nor the mood to be nice.

Please leave my roleplay.

@Blizz

The fuck is this?

I'm not even going to make a tyrannical review of this. I don't have the willpower needed to force myself to tear this apart piece by one-line piece.

Denied with extreme prejudice.

Oh right, Dawn. Would a miniature collab for some interaction between Ares and Alexander be fine?

@Zombehs

No problem. Shoot me a PM.

<Snipped quote by Happy Go Lucky>

Look a Thoth outside of this,he(not she) is they Egyptian god of knowledge

@Blizz

I would prefer you acknowledge that, while the themes and names of the Gods are based on existing legends, this is not the real world. I would also like to restate that there is, in-fact, an in-universe justification for why the Gods are the way they are.

I'd also like it if you learned the mechanics of the English language before criticizing me. I'm fine being criticized; I'm not perfect by any means. It just pricks at me when the person doing it is barely comprehensible~

Labyrinth

It's just Loki. What a jokester, that one.

Labyrinth

It is a bright, sunny morning.

The air is filled with the bustle of a developing city, a town built out of necessity by the Descent of the Gods. Presided over by the Gods with the express purpose of being designed to allow for a base of operations from which to lead expeditions into the Labyrinth, this city has found itself split into "districts".

To the North, the Coliseum of the war god, Ares. It is here that warriors have tested their mettle against one another in the preceding days. Presided over by Ares, it can be called the landmark of the northern district. Also in the northern district is a much less imposing sight: the alchemical lab of the god Thoth, a minimalistic structure dwarfed by the grandeur of the Coliseum.

To the East, the temple of Vishnu and the workshop of Hephaestus. It is here that one can go to enhance themselves. Vishnu stands ready to heal those who need it...for a price, of course. Present in a similar fashion is Hephaestus, whose creations boast a quality and price tag beyond mortal conception.

To the West, the academy of Heka and the office of Hermes. While Heka would seem to be the autority on all things magic, she has declined to answer any questions directed to her about the practice of that arcane art, dismissing it as "something to be discussed later". Hermes, on the other hand, has been as helpful as possible, but useless nonetheless. The only noteworthy aspect of Hermes's administrative zone is its proximity to the central district, where the market of the town is located.

To the South, that unsealed tomb lies in wait, the cave that serves as the boundary between sin and salvation. It is this hell that self-appointed heroes wish to venture into, to claim the glory and treasure that lies within. Consequently, in the southern district of the city, there are few buildings out of fear that something will crawl out of that damnable cave, and no God has ventured to make that zone their base of operations. Nothing of the sort has happened yet though, but all the same, that sparsely-populated area of the city has unofficially become the domain of the remaining two Gods, the tricksters with appearances of mere children. While neither have identifiable buildings, they are often seen idly wandering the streets of the southern district, and seem to pop up at the most opportune, or inopportune, times.

This day is a noteworthy one because it is the day on which all prior-made preparations will come to fruition. The humans who have gained the blessings of a God and since waited idly will, at last, be allowed to act. It is on this day that the Gods have agreed to allow their Guild members into the Labyrinth. None have entered previously under the command of the Gods, none until today.

Perhaps visiting your God would be a commendable action. If you are in their good graces enough, you may be given something to help you in your exploration. Of course, you may not.

Oh, and for those normal humans who have yet to gain the superior physical ability gifted by a God's contract? If you venture into the Labyrinth without gaining such power beforehand, do not blame us for your certain death.

There is little else to be said. You know your abilities, your possessions, your goals. Go forth and descend into the Labyr-

"Kyaaa, that chuuni expository voice is talking agaaaiiiin!"

-A frustrated screech from the South end of the city rudely cut me off sliced through the relative silence of the area, the cry of the Goddess Loki that faded away a handful of seconds later, returning the South to a state of quiet.

...Well regardless, I wish you luck in your endeavors.

Just...just go already.

I'll be starting the IC momentarily, so we're able to get off the ground. Those who haven't finished their apps, don't worry about being left behind as I'll be stopping progress OOC at a certain point. If you run into difficulties while making your app, let me know.

<Snipped quote by Dawn>

Just gonna check out for specific chemicals and knives, but otherwise do you mind if I just shove the link to what I have in the character tab?

@Fish of Oblivion

Sure, you've pretty much been approved except for those specifics, so go ahead.
