Re: Question

[powersthatare]

Several weeks - it's hard to pin down precisely, as it was a gradual change.

The stronger a deity is, or the longer they spend on Olympus, the more they will be affected.

Re: Question

[reallymean]

So, if Nike were to attempt to rouse the gods because there are humans heading up the mountain, would there be any reaction?

[powersthatare]

Is she ascending herself, or just sending a message?

[reallymean]

Ascending herself in hopes that it'll be less ignorable if she goes in person.

And that she can head off disaster if she's there.

[powersthatmatter]

Apollo and Hermes will answer in their palaces that they will go up to the Pantheon. Hebe & Ganymede are in the Pantheon already, still up and about. Zeus complains of a headache but does not emerge from his room in the Pantheon.

No other replies.

What's the word for Week 3?

[reallymean]

Following a conversation with Tybalt (which has yet to be fully threaded out, but which we've discussed at length OOCly), Nike will head back up to Olympus and attempt to inspect the gods' food and drink for signs of tampering - she'd be looking for lotus in particular, and anything else unusual in more general terms.

Potentially, depending on whether or not that yields any results or creates more trouble, she might try to pull together a group of representatives from various groups in hopes of spurring some mortal heroes into action that isn't yelling at the gods.

[powersthatare]

If you'd like to thread that out with Ganymede or Hebe, we could do that!

[reallymean]

Sounds good to me! Should I stick something up on last week's Olympus mingle so all the Olympus-poking is in one place, or just include it in top-leveling for this week's mingle?

[powersthatmatter]

Better to keep all the Olympus things in one place!

[reallymean]

Okay! Tossed up a top level for that here.

[powersthatare]

What's up for week four?

[reallymean]

Gathering her ragtag band of misfits in an attempt to unpoison the Olympians and start building a resistance to the Titans' coup attempt. I think the current plan is for Percy to pass on his stolen Ambrosia before he gets knocked into Liminal Space, so she'll start by trying to use that to shock whoever she can get to back to awareness.

This...may change depending on what the new mingle actually brings, but her current to-do list is essentially "wake up a couple of the Twelve, prepare for war, grind Hebe's face into the dirt", order somewhat flexible and feasibility unknown.

[powersthatbe]

This can definitely work and will definitely make a big difference - exactly how much will have to be played out in threads.

[reallymean]

Ok! I have a top level here for the attempt.

[sharkened]

Is it possible for Kyros to get involved with this somehow? He's just now awakening to who he's really supposed to be and stuff and he's leaning from neutral to side Olympus.

[reallymean]

Sure! Do you have anything in particular in mind, or shall we just collect him on the way up the mountain?

(Also, who is he? Should she recognize him when she sees him?)

[sharkened]

Perhaps just collect him on the way. He's likely to be pondering about climbing again to check on them anyway.

(He's just recently discovered he's a god actually... but the other gods won't realize just who he is, I think, unless he says.)

[reallymean]

Okay, she'll pull him into the road trip on the way up the mountain. If we need to hash out specifics, we can do that when we know what the way up looks like.
