Fell — Roleplayer Guild

Connor listened quietly as Erin determined it was Ate. She hadn't been on his list of gods or goddesses, but once her name was uttered Connor knew that it was correct. There were others, of course, who had the ability to do this, but among them too many had reasons for not taking one of the people in the group or another, or reasons not to bother taking a group entirely, but Ate, well she had the power necessary and wasn't above using people as playthings. Hell, she had a habit of using gods and goddesses as her play things. She was the one who had tricked Zeus into making a hasty proclamation about kinghood without proper phrasing, and Hera had taken advantage of it to make sure Hercules didn't become a king. That was why she was banished from Olympus and all other places which the gods could live. He had phrased that one carefully, from any godly abodes. Connor shuddered, once again being reminded the gods were not a group to trifle with or piss off without reason.

Arianna's assessment was spot on. Gods don't grow bored easy, and once one like Ate got her fingernails in she wasn't likely to let go. Not until someone else made her. They were stuck until someone noticed and cared enough to save them, or, the much more likely scenario, they finally failed in one of her tasks.

Connor rolled his eyes as the skeleton grabbed the flask taking a swing... and promptly having the liquor swish out of his hollow stomach. He also couldn't help an eye roll at Faris's comment towards the skeleton about wasting, and had to stifle a response about how surviving till they were rescued was a lot harder than it sounded. The Hollow Man's assessment of the situation was no where near as accurate as Arianna's. This situation could, and most likely would, get worse, much worse.

And of course, seemingly as soon as the thought that it could get worse passed through his mind, Ate appeared in a puff of red dust. Connor instinctively reached for a sword which, regrettably was not there. “My name is Ate; though in this form I’m sure most of you know me as Ruby. When you leave this place-… I’m sorry; if you leave this place you won’t remember my human name or form, it will be wiped from your memory. You have my word it won’t be painful. And please, no need for you all to introduce yourselves, I already know all about you…" As if. Connor thought to himself. He planned on remembering this girl, no matter what it took. He would remember this, and be more cautious next time.

"Erin Marie Chase; daughter of Hades. Thaddeus Gresham Kingsley; son of Thanatos. Jack Hallows; son of Hephaestus. Connor D'Finn and Caien Cobb; sons of Hermes. Raleigh Holter Theron; son of Poseidon. Venice Kenny Gorga and Faris Ecklan; son and daughter of Ares. Syleste Nioré; daughter of Morpheus. Gaspard Aucoin; son of Hecate. Auguste Elais De La Fontaine; son of Aphrodite. And last but certainly not least... Arianna Louise Watson; daughter of my dear brother, Dionysus.” Great. So the goddess knew there names, and their lineages, but then of course she did, she was a goddess, she ha to have had ways of knowing who they were, even if she wasn't up on the mountain. But if she knew their lineage, whatever tasks she put them to, they would be suited to their skills, and meant to give them at least a fighting chance in the beginning. That is, if she wanted them to survive for more than one round.

And then she talked about splitting them into groups. This was going to go poorly. He looked around as she isolated groups. Some of them might actually work well together. Erin, Thane and Raleigh and Faris and Gaspard actually had a fighting chance, the chemistry and raw power between the first group, and the surprising intellect behind the Ares girl, along with the natural combat skills most Ares had combined with the arcane powers of Hecate's son. Groups one and two had a good chance. Group three, the love triangle that was just plain hopeless. Because of the infighting any chance to play off of one anthers strengths would be lost. Jack and his newfound brother, well Jack was a bit of a wild card and Connor didn't know him all that well, and Caien was completely fresh here, not even a day of formal training in anything, hopefully whatever he ended up doing didn't require actual combat. He said a quiet prayer to their father for him, and then looked over at Arianna. Looks like they were the last two. As Ate announced that they were a group, the sand seemed to fall away, and suddenly he found himself in a hallway full of black doors and more hallways.

"Well then." He said stretching his neck from side to side. "Any idea what to do from here party girl?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm sorry, that's me." Alexander responded with a slightly embarrassed smile. "I was making my own drink stuff and... well... I got distracted." He rubbed the back of his head with his left hand, laughing a bit, he shook the tied up plastic bag in his right hand down by his side. "I get distracted pretty easily." He smiled and cocked his head slightly to the side. "No need to be sorry, it does smell pretty gross, that's why I'm tossing it into the dumpster."

Aren't you going to introduce yourself and me? Kas asked him hopping up from the floor and scrambling up to rest across Alex's shoulders.

"Oh, right, sorry, I'm Alexander Akiyama, Alex or Xander for short. This is my daemon Kasai, but he goes by Kas. And I'm sorry I have been rambling, but if you want some coffee, I just have to get rid of this junk and then I would love to grab a non-burnt cup." He smiled and hurriedly ducked through a door to the outer area of the school and ditched the plastic bag full of burnt material into a nearby dumpster, then hurried back hoping he hadn't offended the girl.
