Come in. Do you want any water or anything?

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

Nah, but thanks.

[ carrying the flipbook item from last game ]

How are you doing?

[ sitting down at couch! ]

What are you planning on doing in the city?

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Nothing super exciting, but it'll just be nice to be off for a while, you know? Like, weird, but also nice.

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

...yeah. It's kind of hard to even imagine it.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

It really is. You got any plans?

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

[ shrugs ]

Grab some fresh clothes and food and stuff from Nettle's place. Sleep in a bed on solid ground. I dunno.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

All good things.

Anyways, sorry - you came here for the vision?

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

No worries. I like hanging out with you. But yeah, vision.

[ takes out flipbook...on the cover is aster facing an older man who looks a lot like aster and is holding a trident. they seem to be underwater? ]

[looking at it curiously, but mostly waiting to see what his reaction will be]

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

[ flips a page...

makes an exasperated sound ]

Figures.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

What was it?

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

My...

[ goes quiet ]

the guy in my vision. He's trying to get through senior year and get into this college, I guess. Except surprise, surprise, the gods don't wanna let him. He wasn't supposed to be born, so he's ineligible unless he does a bunch of new quests and gets a bunch of recommendations from the gods.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

They—

That is so stupid.

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

His dad's trying to "help" except it's not super helping. I guess aside from the part where Zeus wanted to make him do, like, thirty quests, and his dad bargained it down to three.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Why do they get any say in it? Do admission boards listen exclusively to gods or something?

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

...that's a good question. I'm guessing it's gotta be some place that's tied in to the mythological world, which is probably why he thinks he stands a chance of getting in to start with.

Except, gods.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Ughhhhh. That's so unfair.

What were the quests?

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

[ flops backwards dramatically ]

Whatever the gods say they are.
