🌈👻 Leda Storm 👻🌈
Location: Tartarus
Skills: Superspeed
Leda nodded, listening to the criteria. It was going to be a long journey - and she wasn't even sure if time moved normally in Tartarus as compared to the rest of the world. For everything that she knew about the gods, she knew frighteningly little about where they were now. But she had her speed, and that was an asset. "'Course, everyone knows that the high ground is for winners," Leda agreed, as she exited the cave with Mads. Mads seemed remarkably well adjusted to all of this - and Leda didn't know if it was just a mask or if she also felt terrified.

"Hm, I s'pose monsters do eat for more than, just, recreation," she commented - perhaps a bit foolishly. Monsters loved to eat demigods all the time, but Leda had never really considered whether they needed to eat. They reformed and turned into dust when they died, and they were monsters, so she'd never really thought of them as truly living, breathing creatures that would need food. But that was obviously the case - she hoped - and that there'd be food down here. Not that Leda herself needed food. She was dead, after all. "Though I think the food and water is more of a you problem than a me problem."

But nonetheless, Leda gave her a wink before taking off at a dash. The immediate area seemed clear, so she let herself use her speed, scouting ahead quickly. At first, she couldn't find much of anything. But eventually, she found a nearby ravine, featuring dead trees and rocks that would provide cover - and a pond with clean water for Mads. Racing on back, Leda then relayed her findings. "C'mon, follow me."

☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️
Location: Lotus Hotel and Casino
Skills: Prophecy
Nancy's hearing muffled, her vision blurring as her body sank into the vision - as her limbs shook and twitched, her corporeal form no longer her own. And she was no longer in the place of her greatest tragedies, her spirit gone from the Lotus Hotel. No, instead she was in a famous scene - a park she had seen time and time again on the silver screen. With the skyline, it was unmistakable. It was Central Park. This was New York - Greek territory. She was not alone either. Diana's hunters were with her, as were Niah (her heart ached), some of the Greeks, and two faces she did not recognize. A newspaper blew by in the wind, indicating the date - July 4th.

But that wasn't what caught her attention. No, it was the Doors of Death. They were here. She reached out instinctively, wishing to pry them open and force Mads back to her, but the vision faded away, disintegrating to dust before her eyes. Her cards were spilled on the floor, dirt sullying the gleaming gold backings. And she was on the floor, the sobs still ripping themselves from her throat as her lady - as her goddess - swore on the Styx that she would help, that she would use her hunters to find the Doors, to save Mads.

Her lips twitched.

Demetri said that they had to leave now - that they had to return to Camp.

Rome needed her.

No, Rome needed Mads. Nancy needed Mads.

Janelle's vision detailed them making it to Tartarus, to a shrine of Mercury.

They couldn't wait months. She couldn't just go back to Camp Half-blood and wait, waiting for the doors to open. "Let me come with you - let me help your hunters look," Nancy asked. "The Doors will be in Central Park on July 4th. But Mads can't - I can't - wait that long."

Guin shrugged, her tongue poking out slightly between her teeth. "I know, I really am the nicest person on Earth." Her eyes were twinkling with amusement - and it matched her internal feeling as well. Sure, things were a little rough around the edges at the moment, but she did genuinely feel okay - at least now, at least here. Standing outside, chatting with Pietro and Annie, it was a little easier to put all of the mess and the drama behind her and focus on the moment.

"Yeah, what'd'ya say, Piet? Want to go for a walk while Annie and I jog?" Guin teased. She knew that going at their pace would seem mindbogglingly slow to him - like a video game character suddenly forced down to just a small fraction of their speed. But it'd be nice to have him around regardless - and it would be good for him, too. He was always so attached to her that Guin was worried at times that he didn't have many friends, even on the team. Hanging with another person could help.
Runa tilted their head at Lance, a bit perplexed by his critique. "But I did call? That was what I just did - I called for you and you came," Runa summarized. The nuances of Midgardian culture and customs were lost on them at times. While they had memories from that false existence created by the Scarlet Witch, they were just a drop in the bucket of Runa's long life. And even then, only the important things had remained - the finer points of Midgardian life was quickly becoming lost on her.

She nodded as Klara said she had someone to speak to, paying it little mind. She trusted her cousin.

"All is well, thank you," Runa said, nodding their head at Bethany. "How do you fare?"

Avery didn't recognize the voice immediately, but when it was placed for them, they remembered. They had met the Asgardians once before, right before they'd left the mansion briefly with Mira and Carolina to take care of some family drama. They'd been trapped inside a Jumanji game, held inside by Loki - and when the Asgardians had been unleashed, they had attacked them, attacked the X-Men. Hopefully this wasn't a repeat of anything like that. Avery didn't really look forward to the idea of dealing with Loki once again.

A water bubble drifted into the library, and they raised an eyebrow, trying to remember which Asgardian had water theming - but the question was answered before it was asked, as Klara came into the room, talking to Edus specifically. Avery didn't know if anything had really happened with the Asgardians since Jumanji, and they couldn't remember if Klara had been particularly fond of Edus in particular. So as was their nature, Avery nodded slightly in greeting, but remained quiet - they were a bit anxious from a relatively unknown person entering the conversation anyways.

??? - Tue. November 23rd, 2038 - Margaret Carter Institute
Arcade looked on in satisfaction, watching as his victims struggled in their new environments - and how poor Vicky was so easily brought to heel. It'd been a stroke of luck when he'd found out one of his 'teammates' had been robotic - he'd already crafted the Usagi puppet, and through repeated training exercises in the Framework and under Usagi's supervision, he had been able to obtain the data he needed. And now, Vicky was his. And his alone.

"You're doing great work," he murmured to the pixels on the screen, before standing up from his seat and walking over to the tanks. Andy's lifeless body was suspended. Her vital signs were nonexistent. "So much for immortality, little god."

@Forsythe: Vicky tries to purge herself again of Arcade's influence, of his programming and control. But the more that she struggles, the harder the task becomes - the more Arcade's programming courses through her system, binding itself to her, the code like chains. And whispered into her mind, she can hear Arcade's voice - "you're doing great work."

@Patientbean@Trainerblue192@Natsu: "Works for me!" Gideon preened, bouncing back and forth between her feet eagerly. She was more than happy to be on duty clearing a path - and she didn't know the extent of her immortality, but death didn't scare her. It never had. She was supposed to have died as a kid, just another sacrifice. And she was still here. If she went out, she was going to do it like a boss.

"Why Mads?" Gideon asked, despite Dorian saying that he'd explain after.

Surprisingly, the plan went extremely well - Gideon and Dorian managed to clear a path for them, Mary Sue creating the constructs needed to help block anything that was incoming. There hadn't been a need just yet for Sabine to do the flash save trick, and they were able to make good progress as a group - so good that it wasn't long until they found themselves deep in the castle, face to face with the big man himself - Bowser.

"Wait, I thought there was gonna be a princess here for us to save?" Gideon whined.

April screamed as Andy died, her last remaining hearts evaporating into the aether. Was Andy... dead? Was Arcade telling the truth? Or was it all just a trick, a cruel joke? Had she just seen someone die before her eyes? Her heart was pounding so quickly she was certain it was about to burst, to pop like a balloon and spray its contents everywhere. Andy was dead... And if Andy was dead, what if other people were dead too? What if everyone she cared about was dead? She didn't know what had happened to the others, didn't know what had happened with Danni and Dori, with Sabine and Leah, with Mads...

She tried to breathe, to steady herself, as the Vicky creature turned to lock onto her - as her sister took charge, executing a strategy and telling April what to do. "O-o-okay!" Her body was shaking as she tried to conjure up a bubble of water over and over again, failing to do so until on the third try, when a watery shield formed around herself and Zelda. "Sh-shield up, what now?"

Her hands were so cold. Or, her fins. She could barely feel them.

Andy was dead.

Dead.

April didn't know what to do.

She didn't want this - didn't want any of this.
Despite the explanations, Percy still had no idea what was happening here. This squishy organ of a vessel was supposedly a Nautiloid - something that he had never heard of before, so it gave him little context. The flying red infants with bloodied drool - the imps - at least made somewhat sense. They were things that were attacking them and in the interest of living, they needed to kill them first. He didn't wish to die, he particularly didn't want to die inside of a video game, so he could handle this course of action...

... Even though everyone around him looked almost unrecognizable. He didn't know the words to describe the others, not properly. Danni was gigantic and scaly, lizard like, draconic. His sister looked like him, like some sort of squashed toad. Leah was a type of ogre, perhaps reminiscent of Shrek? And then Mads was a demon of some sort. But none of the words felt right - the descriptions were close, but there were subtle differences, changes to the character design that felt important, and yet, were things he couldn't help but overlook.

"You are not photographing me like this," Percy snapped at Danni. "I will kill you if you do." He didn't know if cameras existed in this game, and he didn't plan to find out.

Everyone else took their turn, and finally, Percy found that he was able to move his body. He teleported forward, appearing next to one of the imps - only two remained - and he plunged a dagger into its side, killing it instantly. He then tried to teleport again, only to find his feet rooted in place. So instead he walked up to the last imp, noting that it didn't seem to be able to move - did the imps have to wait to take a turn too? - before he drove his dagger in, killing it and ending the combat.

There was a rising slope before them, with sinew like rope ladders to help them ascend - and an opening that seemed to go deeper into the ship. But now with the combat ended, Percy took in their surroundings better - saw the red dragons circling, the ash and sulfur in the air. It was strange but... it was beautiful, too.

Guin didn't jump when Pietro appeared with a rush of air - she was used to his sudden appearances. And thanks to their psychic rapport, she always had a bit of a sense as to where he was. There wasn't much he could do to surprise her anymore, for better or for worse. She knew that he had to be beating himself up a bit because of that - that he hadn't been there to stop her from relapsing, as much as she didn't want that guilt on his shoulders. It'd been her decision and hers alone. So the responsibility then was only hers - it couldn't be his job to watch her all the time. "I'm okay," Guin said honestly. I'm not going to go take any more pills, honest. Annie didn't need to hear that part.

She squinted her eyes though, jumping slightly as there was a blaring beam of light out of nowhere - and then two Asgardians on the mansion grounds, a sigil now burned into the grass. Ordinarily, this might've been cause to tell Annie that they needed to take a rain check on the run - but Guin guessed the Asgardians were just here to see Lance, as Lance was dating one of them, the Goddess of Goths herself. "Umm... How about the half loop? So I don't die choking on my own breath," Guin joked. "I've been spoiled with this one just picking me up and carting me off any time running is required," she said, elbowing Pietro slightly.

Guin did, however, throw a wave at the Asgardians.

Runa glanced around at her surroundings, taking in the scene. She saw a few familiar X-Men on the lawn - Guinevere, Antoinette, Pietro. But Lance was nowhere to be seen. She frowned. Had he not received her scrying message from earlier, announcing her intentions to come by for a visit? She had made a new gown for the occasion - a traditional Asgardian dress, with rich blacks and a soft hood. Runa tossed the hood back, before nodding in Guinevere's direction. "Aye, this is their stronghold," Runa confirmed for Klara.

She then concentrated, casting a spell to amplify her voice, before sending booming echoes throughout the entire mansion -
LANCE, SON OF BANNER, WHERE ART THOU?

Avery nodded slightly. It was a little weird how... mundane it all seemed. Talking about letters and cellphones, and making appeals to different members of the family. The drama itself, while revolving around magic and whatnot, was also pretty normal when it came down to things - sexism and estrangement causing division amongst a family. Despite having their own family drama - well, this was their family drama now, too, but a year ago it hadn't been - Avery still was a little surprised at how simple the solutions were. How just... normal it all was. The people that had turned their backs on their mother, they were just people.

"Carolina was really helpful with the curse on my - on my side of the family," Avery offered. Not everything had gone to plan, but without Carolina and Mira, things would've ended up much, much worse. So they didn't doubt that Carolina could be helpful here - even if possession would probably invalidate any documents signed once discovered. There had to be rules and laws regarding that. "Is there... is there anything I could do to help?" they then offered tentatively. They weren't magic, not the way Ed was, and they weren't a boy, so they didn't know how much influence they could really have over that side of the family... but if they could help, they would.

A booming voice then shook the library, asking for Lance. "...What?" Avery murmured, tilting their head. "Are we... under attack?"

The call was over - her mum was doing them a huge favor as it was, and Leda didn't dare whine and complain. The goddess had already been kind enough to let them make a second call. So instead, she studied Mads warily for a moment - wondering if that call had helped her morale or killed it. She hadn't wanted to eavesdrop really, but the sounds of battle were hard to mistake. "Come on," Leda nudged, holding out her hand. "Let's go find these doors."

She had a bit of an idea of something that could make things easier, at least when they got to the final dash. Mads was a witch - she had magic. And Leda was incredibly fast. If Mads could make some sort of area of effect thing happen, something that moved with them, Leda could then rush them through the swarm of monsters faster than the monsters could react, paving their way to the door through fire. It'd be risky, and not something they'd be able to pull off over and over again though - even monsters could learn - so it'd have to wait till they were closer.

The call dropped, as did Nancy's heart. She barely got to say anything to Mads, to really understand that one of her best friends was still there, somehow, before it was over. Before Mads was gone. But at the same time, she was so close - they were at the Doors of Death on their end, and if Mads walked on through... she'd be alive again. The world would right itself. It was all she could do to keep her muscles from spasming, her breath even and steady, her hands from shaking. She could save Mads. She could do it. It was all going to be okay. It was all...

The doors vanished.

The giant collapsed, a mess of dust.

"NO!" Nancy screamed.

She rushed to where the Doors of Death had been, banging her fists against the solid wall. Her hands ached, doubtlessly bruising, but she didn't care. She was screaming at the universe itself, tears pouring down her face as her hope died. "Mads!" Nancy screamed again, kicking at the wall now. But it was still just a wall - the doors were gone. It was over.

They'd failed.

"MADS!" she howled.

Guin tilted her head slightly, hearing Annie’s new turn of phrase. But she smiled as she did so. It was odd, but that was so perfectly Annie that it didn’t phase her. She had grown up with occasional interactions with Thor, so hearing people speak out of time wasn’t unusual in itself - just unusual for someone who had grown up in the current century. But it endeared Annie to her all the same.

Guin bowed her head slightly. ”Enchantée.” She resisted the urge to do a sweeping bow or a curtsey - she didn’t want Annie to think she was making fun of her. With most people, she wouldn’t have cared. But with her friends, she did. ”Yeah, that’d be great - how much more did you plan on doing?” she asked, mentally calculating how much she was willing to get herself in for. The runs were good and helpful, but at the same time, they really sucked. Guin didn’t exactly enjoy exercise.

”I’m good - yourself?” Avery asked Carolina, their cheeks reddening ever so slightly. They’d been through a lot together. They’d always seen Carolina as a friend - but now they were starting to see the potential of something more. But that was scary and meant risking the friendship, so Avery was doing their very best not to act on it. Carolina was too important to them to lose.

The relationship they had with Ed was becoming increasingly important as well, even as Avery felt still a little lost as to how to navigate it. The politics of Ed’s - of their family - was somewhat over their head. They knew the basics of it all, but the names were hard to hold onto. Even the rules and the lore was a bit to take him, even if the broad strokes were clear. So as Ed explained his conflict with his grandfather and Cousin Lucas, Avery tried to categorize them in their mind - to build out that tree, that web.

“So what are you going to do then? If Lucas is telling lies about you…”

While Madalyne talked to her friend, Leda stood back, a bit to the side. Aside from the fact that she was supplying the rainbow, of course. Madalyne had given her privacy when she talked to her girlfriend, so she figured she could return the favor here. However, that didn't mean that Leda was blind - that she couldn't see the shimmering image in the Iris Message, that she couldn't see the fight at hand. She recognized a few faces - Kristin and Zeke, and some of the other demigods from Camp. Her eyes widened though, realizing that they had gods with them - that they weren't alone in the fight.

Maybe if she and Kiera and Sera hadn't been alone, she wouldn't have died.

The thought smarted and stung.

And as much as Leda had issues with Kristin and Zeke, she didn't wish death on them. Especially not now, especially not with the emptiness she was feeling - the realization that this wasn't some reward for glory, that demigods' deaths were tragic and needless, not filled with meaning as she had once believed.

Nancy's heart stopped. The color in her world seemed to drain away, everything cast into various shades of gray - everything but the image before her, but the vivid rainbow hues that came together to make a face she hadn't seen in what felt like an eternity - the face of one of her two soulmates, the face of a dead girl. Mads. Mads. "Mads!" Nancy exclaimed. She didn't know what else to say. She was too stunned.

Her vision snapped back into focus, as she saw their foe be restrained - and while her mind and heart were shocked, focused on Mads and just the reality of seeing her again, that she was... somewhere - that she was... safe? - that she was Mads. Her body took over, loosing arrows into her opponent - the first missed, the second hit the shoulder, the third the belly.

From the safety of the real world, Arcade observed his victims. Not as they were on the screen - not the frantic pixels, their digitized consciousness. No, he stared at their bodies, suspended in the tanks, undefended. He could kill them all now. He had acquired the sedatives needed, administration of a lethal dose would be simple, easy.

But it was inelegant. And in a world filled with supervillains, he needed to stand out. He needed a brand. Killing on its own was easy, but making it definable, something where people knew they'd been bested by Arcade and no one else? That was the challenge, that was the occasion Arcade was rising to meet. It had been simple enough to get their trust, to convince them to come with him after hours, to use the Framework.

It didn't hurt that he had help, either.

"Take her away - and dispose of her," Arcade instructed, his eyes on the unconscious Asgardian.

"Will do, Big Brother," Ardere said, a devilish grin on her face as she approached Zari's tank.

"Be careful," Usagi hissed. "If she wakes up, I won't be able to protect you - and you won't last long enough to protect yourself!"

Ardere rolled her eyes. She had daydreamed plenty of times about putting the robot in a trash compactor - Usagi was endlessly annoying.

@Forsythe: Vicky tries valiantly, but unfortunately crit fails (1). Rather than opening up the Framework to her and Arcade's programs, she opens herself up to the Framework and Arcade. The takeover is quick, over in seconds. Her fears of being taken over by Ultron are realized - or at least, a miniature version of them. A single command has been implemented: kill. At any cost. By any means.

@PatientBean: Sabine also makes a valiant effort, to mess with the Framework's memory in order to help Vicky. What results though is uncontrolled, perhaps more of a curse than a blessing. Eight of her classmates vanished.

@Patientbean@Trainerblue192@Natsu: Everyone vanishes aside from Sabine, Gideon, Dorian, and Mary Sue, leaving you behind in Mario Land. But even the level seems to glitch before your eyes, landing you outside a menacing castle. Gideon, bouncing from side to side, looks at it with eager glee. She more or less agreed with Dorian - that this was valuable experience and at least here, she could murder the shit out of their attackers. In the real world, that was frowned upon.

"Do you think everyone else is in there at the end - that they're our princess?" Gideon asked, before pressing forward and entering - revealing a maze of obstacles, of drops into lava, of rotating beams, of enemies trooping back and forth - and a distant roar of Bowser.

"Yeah, I know you play games!" April protested, a little confused and also unused to hearing her sister talk so much. She couldn't recall the last time Zelda had said more than just a sentence outside the company of just family. "I didn't know you were good at them, though," she added. She didn't really hang out with Zelda. Zelda didn't share things with her and she didn't share things with Zelda. It was fine, it was balanced. Even when they were both at home, they did their own things. Zelda stayed inside and April went outside. They had different worlds, different lives.

And then the scenery changed.

Mario melted away, replaced with a misty field - some sort of temple roof, laden with stone and... mud? There was a strange creature in the center, small and odd - and then, erupting from the ground, a gigantic shark - a shark that the creature rode, charging straight for them!

Instinctively, April threw out her hands - or rather, fins - she was now red and white, her skin smooth, her body resembling some sort of humanoid fish. She'd never seen such a creature before - she had no idea what game Arcade had trapped them in - but no waves were summoned. Instead, a ring purple tinted mud slammed into her, sending her flying backwards - every piece of her body ached, as she collided with the ground - as the same force threw Zelda and Andy back.

As text appeared, hovering above the head of the creature: VICKY

She hoped that wherever they were, her girlfriends and her friends were faring better than she was...

Had Vicky betrayed them?

Or was this Arcade?
Percy did not share Dorian's opinion about this being a valuable learning exercise, a place for experience. He was comfortable with the idea that he would journey out into the world and face danger. He did not appreciate one of his classmates trying to kill him, and felt justified in his anger about it all. Even in the real world, he wasn't going to be exactly thrilled about someone attempting to drive a dagger into his back.

However, before he could voice this opinion and reiterate once again that they were all in mortal peril, the scene shifted. Gone was Mario, replaced with... something else.

They were inside what looked like a massive organ, a space carved with flesh and blood. The ground beneath his feet felt sticky and he resisted the urge to vomit, doing his best to breath in deeply - only to then notice that his nose was completely flat. He quickly felt his face and his features, cataloging the change. He was taller now, his body lean, bony - his skin yellow and spotted. To those well versed in Dungeons and Dragons, he was a githyanki. To Percy, he was a frog creature.

And he was not alone. There were three others with him - identified with text boxes as Danni, Leah, and Diana.

And on the ground, coming crawling towards them, were tiny baby devils - tiny imps - ready to attack.

"...What sort of game is this?" Percy muttered, as he felt a dagger in his hand. He tried to teleport forward, to attack one of the imps, but found that he was frozen - that he couldn't move.

It wasn't his turn.

Guin had relapsed not too long ago.

For the first time since she'd been a teenager, she had abused drugs.

It was long since out of her system, and in the aftermath of it, her skin had been crawling with shame. She didn't have any intentions of doing it again, of getting that high to shove out her personal issues, the drama with Tony and Miranda. But then again, she hadn't intended on getting high in the first place - she hadn't meant to do that when she had gone into the mansion, when she'd made her way to the medical bay, and grabbed some compounds that she shouldn't have.

So now, even though it was over, the remnants lingered. Pietro had kept a closer eye on her, hovering somewhat anxiously. She wasn't exactly talking to her father right now - she was more angry with him than she was with Miranda, as he had kept this from her - had lied to her for years, had let her believe Maddie had been her mother, put her in the path of that abusive, narcissistic monster.

In an attempt to keep her anger at bay, to keep herself from the temptation or even just the possibility of another relapse, Guin had also gone for a run outside the mansion - and as she saw Annie jogging up the other direction, Guin waved. "Hey, girl - what's up?"

Avery had been busying themself in the library, looking through various books. For once, they weren't looking at things for D&D. No, they'd found a 100 books to read before you die listicle and had decided to work their way on through it, making notes of what books the mansion had on hand. They'd had most of them - they were all classics, after all - and Avery had finally located the copy of Dracula. They hadn't read it before, but they knew the basics of the plot. It seemed as good a spot as any to start with.

Tome in hand, Avery then moved to leave the library, emerging from its depths and finding Ed and Carolina near the entrance. They waved at them slightly awkwardly - Carolina wasn't a source of awkwardness, but they were still figuring out their relationship with Ed, still trying to determine what sort of connection they wanted to have with their uncle. "Hey," Avery said softly, partially keeping their volume low because it was a library, but mostly because it was their personality to do so.

☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️
Location: Lotus Hotel and Casino
Skills: Archery, Audiokinesis
Nancy's body shivered as she heard Diana's voice - as the goddess materialized next to her, a quiver full of arrows and immediately on the defensive. The hollow numbness and anger that had filled her snapped, the shield, the facade cracking apart. Her hands shook and she blinked rapidly, trying to clear her eyes of the tears - to keep her chin from wobbling - to keep herself from coming undone, from shaking apart. Diana was here - here in the bowels of the Lotus Hotel and Casino, here in Nancy's darkest moments. Her aunt, her goddess, was here.

And as much as Nancy felt like breaking, that same pain she turned into strength. She let her emotions guide her voice as she shrieked, not quite managing the right resonance at first, but eventually the waves settled, an onslaught that collided into the giant, stunning Porphyrion. Working together, in unison, was something that the Romans prided themselves on - and with Diana by her side, hope crawled into her chest and expanded ever outward. They could defeat this giant. They could save Mads. They could save everyone.

She loosed another arrow from her bow, and it hit its mark, landing in the giant's eye.

But even for all of that, for everything they'd done, he was still standing - he was hardly bloodied. They had a fight ahead of them - and a long one at that.

"Unless it's relevant to this fight, let's wait," she told Janelle, sounding more like herself.

Leda nodded, hearing that Mads wanted to talk to Nancy - one of the Roman praetors, from what Leda remembered. It felt like a lifetime ago that she'd left Camp Half-blood. Well, she had died. Everything felt distant now in this place, like a dream, like someone else's memory. Except for Kiera. Kiera was the only thing that felt real anymore, that made her heart feel like it was still beating, that she wasn't just a shade of her former self.

Leda bowed her head slightly, pulsing out a soft rainbow in front of her again. "Mum, if you wouldn't mind, it'd be super chill if you could show us Nancy, the Roman Leader?" She hoped that Iris was in the mood to take another message - and that it could reach her at all. The last message had glitched out, ending prematurely. And she didn't have an offering to give her mother either - if they ended up making it out of here, they'd need to make sure to burn a few meals or so to her mom in thanks.

But luckily, the rainbow in front of her shimmered, showing a grainy image of the Roman leader - and a scene of absolute chaos.
