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. ]

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.

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]

[hyperresonance]

No! Listen, I couldn't do that before! I was thinking 'gods are strong enough to make cracks in marble, right?' but I didn't mean to knock out a pillar!

[holyshit]

Well, too bad, you just did.

Gods are strong enough to destroy freaking worlds, not just chip someone's stupid fancy floor. Seriously, where'd you get a measure like that in the first place?

[hyperresonance]

Excuse me for not having a measure on what gods here are supposed to do! The closest thing we have back home is a prophet.

[holyshit]

It's not just gods here, it's gods everywhere!

...anyway, isn't a prophet's job to do all the message-relaying for gods in the first place? Or am I a bit far off the mark?

[hyperresonance]

I'm not going to go into cultural history when it doesn't matter.

[holyshit]

...are you serious?

Are you really serious.

[wingbacked]

You can probably fix it, too.

[hyperresonance]

I don't know how, though...

[wingbacked]

What, you knew how to break pillars before?

If you did it before by thinking "if I'm a god, I could crack marble," then do it this time by thinking "if I'm a god, I could move things with my head," or something like that.

[hyperresonance]

Is rampant destruction really the same as rampant creation?

[wingbacked]

Does it matter?
