04 Flight ☁ Don't let it Rain on your parade ☁ [Video]

[olympian_herald]

[Noticing a smattering of depressing posts, Hermes decides to address the issue as a whole.. Not realizing that the heartless are behind the dipping moods]

I know we're all more or less trapped here but you need to cool it cats.

[It's not very constructive but he's trying to be helpful]

Whatever has been getting you all down.. it can't last forever. Just a bit a positive thinking and it'll all be copacetic.

[intogold]

Is your advice honestly to just look on the bright side? [He laughs, delighted.]

Were that it so simple. It's too bad to hear people are depressed. What a shame.

[olympian_herald]

Pretty much. [He answered plainly]

Optimism goes a long way, babe. [He's not really sure how to take this guy] It is, really.

We're the lucky ones right? The ones that made it out of the whole darkness-losing-our-hearts deal. [But he's sure the rest of the Pantheon will be fine and dandy]

[intogold]

Optimism goes a long way, but blindly. You'd be surprise how far despair can take a person as well. It's a wonderful motivator.

[Another laugh.] That's supposing we all have hearts to lose to begin wtih.

[olympian_herald]

You wouldn't, by chance, happen to have met Hades? [He's big on exploiting despair]

[This cat is weiiiiiird] It's like one of those philosophical questions.

[intogold]

I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure, no.

[A tilt of his head at that and a slow stretch of a smile over his lips.] No, not at all. I mean it quite literally.

[olympian_herald]

[That's probably a good thing]

Hey that brings up an interesting point... What are those zany heartless after when they try to attack beings without hearts.

[intogold]

Quite the good question. Perhaps whatever it is that stands as a substitute in those beings, the place that their emotions reside. Hmm! [A shrug of his shoulders.] Difficult to say!

[olympian_herald]

Or those cats can't tell the difference. They don't seem like the brightest bunch.

[intogold]

Brightest no, but they seem... [A giggle.] feral. And animals know what they're after, and how to find it. Instinct and hunger are very powerful.

[olympian_herald]

Ehh.. yeah. Feral. Something like that.

You might have something there. A Pity Artemis isn't here, she does have a way with animals.

[intogold]

Artemis? [Not a name he knows. He waves a hand.] In the meantime it seems it falls to us to, safeguard our own hearts. [Laughable, really. His has been broken irreparably by now, or so he likes to think.]

[olympian_herald]

Goddess of the hunt? You crazy cats really need to brush up on your history.

No problem here, It's kinda impossible to kill a God.

[intogold]

Oh no, deary. I get the feeling that this is indeed not my history.

Is it? [He smiles slowly. That sounds like a challenge.] I've never had any dealings with gods.

[olympian_herald]

Or you could be from a place with a different pantheon entirely.

Yeah, it's part of that whole immortal shtick. What sort dealings are we talking about?

[intogold]

Or perhaps none.

Any dealings. I've never encountered any deity in my journeys.

[olympian_herald]

Wild!

I can't imagine a place without any Gods or Goddesses.

[exsistingismysin]

I'm sorry, it's just hard to really think positive if only bad things keep happening.

video;

[olympian_herald]

If things are that bad you could always try beseeching one of the Gods or Goddesses for help.

[Erecting a temple in their honor would help too]

video;

[exsistingismysin]

I don't see how that can be of any help.

video;

[olympian_herald]

Woah, woah, woah...! Back up the chariot kid. You really don't know how appealing to the Gods could benefit you?

So what's got you so down? Poor olive harvest? Hmm.. I'm thinking not. A matter of the heart? Babe, Aphrodite would be glad to help you out with something like that.

video;

[exsistingismysin]

[To be honest, he didn't, but then again God don't exactly exist in his world to really know if or if they can't benefit him.]

It's nothing like that.

[It's not love, it's just longing for Alice, to protect her, but he can't while she is in the darkness and he had no way of getting her out.]

video;

[olympian_herald]

What is it then?

video;

[exsistingismysin]

Just missing friends. I guess.

video;

[olympian_herald]

'Fraid there is no easy cure for that, cat.

video;

[exsistingismysin]

I know.

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

I don't feel very positive lately. [Though apparently it's breaking down some inhibitions, because she normally wouldn't admit that much so directly.]

[Video]

[olympian_herald]

You know what we could all use to get our spirits up? A real Bacchanal!

[Because if there's anything Ami would enjoy more it would be a raucous party]

Re: [Video]

[geniustheveil]

[No, instead Ami is simply going to stare back at the video.]

You can't be serious!

[Video]

[olympian_herald]

True, Bacchus can get a little wild but it would take everyone's mind off of everything.

[He thinks that Ami is referring to how much property damage those parties can cause]

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

[Not quite on the right track.]

That isn't the problem!

[Video]

[olympian_herald]

[It's going righttttt over his head]

Parties aren't your thing, babe?

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

So many people suddenly expressing their doubt at once? This doesn't seem natural, nor is there a visible cause. I suspect the influence of the darkness at work again.

[Video]

[olympian_herald]

Hmm.. that is a bit peculiar now that you mention it. I don't suppose you know how we can cheer everyone up if that's the case, do you?

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

The only thing we can do is to talk with them, and help them overcome their own doubts.

[Video]

[olympian_herald]

Then what are we waiting for, cat, let's get right on it.

【 VIDEO 】

[albinoidiot]

You said it. We need some good cheer around here.

【 VIDEO 】

[olympian_herald]

You know it, cat.

【 VIDEO 】

[albinoidiot]

What do you have in mind? I'll make it happen.

【 VIDEO 】

[olympian_herald]

Hmm.. I thought about a bacchanal but there is a distinct lack of Bacchus here.

I suppose a regular party could do the trick as long as it was wild enough.

Re: 【 VIDEO 】

[albinoidiot]

Hey, there's booze. We can throw a party like that!

【 VIDEO 】 Lol XD

[olympian_herald]

Dig the enthusiasm, babe!

[He looks thoughtful for a moment before adding..]

Hmm do you think we should tone it down just a smidge for the kiddies?

【 VIDEO 】 And now the safety dance is in my head....

[albinoidiot]

You're not fun but you're probably right.

【 VIDEO 】 I do not know what this is XD.

[olympian_herald]

Don't sound too disappointed, a Bacchanal is still a Bacchanal.

We just need a location... that.. hmm there's nothing we can really destroy.

【 VIDEO 】 YOU DON'T KNOW THE SAFETY DANCE?!

[albinoidiot]

We could do it in the middle of nowhere? There's deserts and forests and jungles to choose from.

... there's also whatever the hell Wonderland is.

【 VIDEO 】 I AM AFRAID NOT

[olympian_herald]

Just so long as we don't sink any islands...

Wonder-land? Sounds wild. Might be just the place.

【 VIDEO 】 WE REALLY NEED TO DO THIS

[albinoidiot]

We should piss off the queen, she likes to cut heads off. That's just asking for a public nuisance.

【 VIDEO 】 LOL WE DO XD

[olympian_herald]

Hydra heads? Or heads in general, babe?

Either way, it doesn't seem like there would be much that could get damaged there... [Save the topiaries, and the roses... ]

【 VIDEO 】

[albinoidiot]

Heads in general.

I don't care much for that as long as someone gets pissed off.

【 VIDEO 】

[olympian_herald]

Ew, That's a bit gauche don't you think?

[Well pissing people off isn't really Hermes bag but.. he does want a party..]

Mm.. we'll have to make this a gig to remember, that's for sure.
