PRE-OPENING, TEST RUN.

[mythologymods]

[ Olympus is dressed in its best. On banners strewn across the columns are symbols similar to coats of arms... but these are different. That is your symbol, your way of life. From your chambers, you've reached the Pantheon of the new gods. Strange people dressed in different robes greet your sight, all done up magnificently in jewels and gold, all looking similarly confused but discussing the whys, hows, getting the where am I's out of the way. A woman in white, crowned in strands of magenta jewels, speaks in a booming voice that sounds projected by ways unknown to technology. ]

Her speech, made known.

[ You've been assigned your duties in one fell swoop. The crowd raises its voices with its questions and confusion.

So amidst this, what do you do? ]

[ OOC; Since we are pushing back the date of opening, this will serve as the games pre-opening, for all accepted characters to tag and join in, AND for all interested players to tag in with a potential character, to get a feel for the game. All threads from this post are usable for samples. This is also the christening of the spam community, so you may now post memes and the like, accepted players! Thank you, and enjoy the new era. ]

[ He looks down at his outfitting. A plain white robe with tights and gold all over his arms and some circlet thing on his head and-- He doesn't get it. He's asleep. He's every excuse to deny that the reality in front of him is not reality. But that's never worked out for him really well. He'll choose to scream where the source of voice came from. ]

I-- You can't! You can't leave me in charge of your people!

[holyshit]

Well, they gave you pants. You might as well play along for now. [NOT THAT HE DOESN'T TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU LUKE]

[hyperresonance]

This is too big of a deal to just play along. What if what that woman said is real?

[holyshit]

'What if'?

We're standing in some huge banquet hall in god-knows-- well, okay, even god doesn't know where, wearing dorky period pieces for no good reason. I'm pretty sure it's real to some degree.

[hyperresonance]

No, I mean, what if we are actually-- dressing us up and putting us somewhere fancy is one thing...

[ He cracks his fist. ] What if we actually-- nah. There's no way. I don't feel different.

[hyperresonance]

[ He'll crouch and tap the floor with his fist with some effort. Not a punch, but not a gentle tap either. ]

[hyperresonance]

[ A crack blossoms from the tip of his knuckles and works its way to a freestanding column, which then collapses in the opposite direction of where everyone is located (thank god) ]

...

...you know, maybe you're right. They shouldn't leave you in charge of people.

[hyperresonance]

Do I look like I'm denying that?!

[holyshit]

I thought you were just saying it to be a lazy dick! [NOT THAT HE CAN TALK]

[transmits]

It's. . . really scary, isn't it?

[hyperresonance]

It's not--- it's not right. Some of us can't suddenly skip the rest of our lives to live here forever!

[transmits]

I know what you mean! There are people who need me, and I can't be here now. . . not when they're in danger!

[hyperresonance]

I'm not going to let my planet detonate because this one needs babysitting... but if the people who dragged us here want us here for that reason, who do we go to?

[transmits]

Um... there's all of us here. Let's help each other out.

[hyperresonance]

Right. That sounds... best for everyone.

[wingbacked]

Pretty sure she said we haven't left. There's just two of us now, and one's here instead of at home-- something like that.

[transmits]

Then it's not the same!

[wingbacked]

Maybe not for us, but I'd rather think it's the same back there.

[If Damos thought he had his reservations....

Well. Someone is obviously taking this turn of events badly. And why not? None of them had been asked about this beforehand. They wouldn't necessarily be prepared, or even equipped for this responsibility.

yeah this all is a little messed up, insta-sympathy activate]

I'm sorry that you got dragged into this...

[hyperresonance]

Don't apologize, you're not the one who did it.

[ He rubs the back of his head, feeling the golden touch of jewelery around his neck that was all too unfamiliar. ]

I can't take care of people on a normal level, let alone a cosmic one. Who thought this was a good idea?

[overcame]

Well...

[A pause as Damos glances across the hall, straightening out his jumbled thoughts.]

The goddess here said that we were chosen, so someone thinks we're all fit for the task. Maybe they know something we don't.

[Small smile?]

At the least, you're not alone in thinking that way. This is a little more than any of us were expecting.

[hyperresonance]

They probably know everything we don't. I don't know what being a god even means-- and if I am something new, what do I... how do I...

[ He shrugs, shoulders slacking defeatedly. ]

I'm hardly a good guide for myself, much less other people.

[overcame]

[...poor kid 8C why so self-deprecating.]

There's always time for learning.

[hyperresonance]

I won't have a choice if there's no way out...

I don't want to be here.

But if people need me, then I can't abandon them either.
