[The video feed shows that Cyrus has come to Traverse Town and looks as he normally would. However, there is a key difference, his expression doesn't hold the smile he almost always wore; instead he looks very down-heartened.]

I'm afraid Glenn....well, Frog, is no longer in our midst. I have searched and tried to contact him...but seeing as I went to bed knowing he was nearby and awoke with him missing, I can only assume...

[His words die and he runs a hand through blonde hair that looks as if it's seen this treatment more than once recently, then sighs.]

I just thought I should alert any friends he may have met here.

So the slimy green amphibian disappeared? What a shame. I will miss having the little guy around, croaking... eating flies... what will we ever do with out him?

[Hades is all torn up about this. ]

[spiritofguardia]

[Yes. He can definitely tell.]

Hades. Your false sympathy has no place here.

[styx_and_stones]

What false sympathy? I really will miss him... I still owe that slimy little pipsqueak a little debt for causing me so much trouble.

But, I guess I will have to settle for the heartless ripping him apart instead.

[Hey, Hades, remember this guy?]

Hades. Was kidnapping Cyrus not enough to satisfy your vengeance?

[styx_and_stones]

Since he got away... NO!

[The 'no' is punctuated with a burst of angry flames, just for effect. ]

I don't think that was really enough punishment for cheating me out of our deal.

[mountain_sage]

[The "effect" doesn't affect him at all.]

Leave him be. I'm sure he had his reasons.

[styx_and_stones]

Its not like I am going to go chasing that slimy amphibian into the darkness... He will get what is coming to him in there anyway.

[mountain_sage]

Fair enough. But Frog is not so weak as to be defeated by darkness that easily.

[styx_and_stones]

No? He seemed to give up and disappear into it pretty easily, but hey, you don't want to believe your friend is a weak pathetic coward, I can understand that. It can't be fun finding out the guy you placed so much faith in abandoned you.

[mountain_sage]

That's what you wish to believe. But you've already proven that your word cannot be trusted.

[styx_and_stones]

Everything I said I would do, I did... unlike some one else I could name...

[mountain_sage]

I highly doubt that your deeds are worth your boasting.

[styx_and_stones]

Such hostility...

And that was only a little game. If I had wanted to do any real damage none of you would have been able to make it out of the Underworld, well, not alive anyway.

[mountain_sage]

I would strongly recommend finding a new hobby to indulge yourself in, Hades.

[styx_and_stones]

Yeah, you have a point... I have been too quiet lately. Next scheme, has your name on it.

[And the connection ends here, just so you can simmer on that dreadful thought for a while. ]

[spiritofguardia]

Say what you will, I have faith he will return. He is stronger than you give him credit for. Though I am not surprised you think that, considering who it is I am speaking with.

[styx_and_stones]

When he doesn't, maybe then you will see how misplaced that faith of yours really is.
