[Anyone in Traverse Town, or anyone who happens to have their communicator on at this moment, will find that the sky has suddenly grown quite dark. Just when you thought nothing else could go wrong, lightning begins spearing through the clouds with deafening thunder to follow. It's a violent storm, nevermind that it wasn't on the forecast for the day. That becomes the least of anyone's problems once a booming voice crackling with rage fills the air off-camera.]

Where are they?!

[The force of the voice is enough to send the moogle holding the communicator backwards onto the ground, flailing its arms. Its source, however, becomes clear. A towering man with a wild dark mane and beard stands across from the moogle, looking as furious as he sounds.]

I-I don't know who--!

My son, Perseus, and my brother, Hades. [He cuts the moogle off impatiently. There is no time to lose.]

W-Well, I don't know about a Perseus, k-kupo... There's a Hades here, b-but he's--

[The man doesn't even wait for the moogle to finish his sentence, despite its frantic attempt to explain that it's probably not his brother because he's a god. It isn't until the man swings a hand up to the sky, vanishing in a bolt of lightning and the storm soon vanishing with it that it realized it was talking to a god.

Ally or foe? That's for you to decide. Unfortunately, his attempt to get to his own Olympus promptly fails and sends him across the various worlds, looking for his son and brother with a storm following him wherever he goes.]

OOC; Zeus will not be answering any video responses because... well, he doesn't have the communicator. But the moogle will if you're so inclined!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Zeus wants answers and he'll take them wherever he can get them. The young woman's voice catches his attention, but his expression is no less severe than it was with the moogle.

He says nothing, but the look on his face makes it clear he's expecting her to speak up if she has something important to say.]

I apologize... ( she furrows her brow in thought. who did he say his brother was? couldn't be... )

Who did you say you were searching for?

[His impatience flares, but if she knows, then...]

Perseus and Hades. They were near when I was whisked away to this place, I have to assume they are here as well.

I have never heard the name Perseus before, but the latter — Hades, he has done something to this place. Brought upon some sort of evil despite the already on-growing darkness.

What? [Disbelief. Even more anger. Confusion. All adequate descriptions of what Zeus is feeling at the moment. He can let never hearing of Perseus go, but Hades causing trouble again? No.] That's impossible! He was fighting with me only moments ago.

[You got some explainin' to do, Belle.]

Moments ago? ( but that doesn't make sense ) No, I am sorry Ser, but he has been here for some time...

( she takes a moment and swallows a lump in her throat ) I have been told that people can come into this strange world from different 'times' of one another — a companion of mine is from rather far into my own personal future. I know it makes little sense, but... That is how this world works.

The homes we knew are swallowed by some form of darkness and we are brought here.

Our world here, however, is being placed in danger by the forces of Hades and a woman whom I know not.

[It takes a great deal of patience that Zeus does not possess to digest that information. If it were possible for his mouth to draw back into an even deeper frown, it would.]

Tell me: is this the doing of Kronos?

[It is the only explanation he has. Then again, if he'd bothered to let the moogle explain, he might have answers.]

( her brow furrows in thought, she even lowers her head, venturing through the names of people she's met or simply heard in passing either by word of mouth or from reading things through the little device she was given upon her arrival. after a time, she lifts her head to the man and shakes it to him somewhat helplessly )

No, Ser. I apologize — I do not believe that name is one I have heard of here before. The persons responsible are as I mentioned; a man named Hades whom runs the Underworld and a woman of whom I am unfamiliar with, although she is leading an army noted as the Army of Decay.

[An entity strong enough to swallow even Kronos in darkness? To rip gods from their worlds? It's a thought that unsettles Zeus to his core.]

That is no man. That is a god-- my brother. If he is truly behind this, then it bodes well for no one. [He heaves a sigh, and though the sky is rumbling with less turmoil, his anger is far from stamped out.] Unfortunately, I have no more knowledge of an Army of Decay than you.

Where is this place and how can I get to Hades?

[He can't exactly teleport there without knowing where it is, after all.]

A god... ( she raised her brows. it certainly explained why he was able to cause so much mayhem in a blink of an eye; it made her wonder if the woman assisting him was a goddess of some sort to have managed everything she had as well. )

I believe it is mostly confined to two realms of this world; the Coliseum and a realm known as Disney Castle. ( she frowns though ) The only means of travel to them are via aircrafts known as the Gummi Ships and I am told their use for travel is now rather dangerous.

I see. I have never heard of such contraptions, but I am not hindered by mortal means to begin with. [Not... totally yet, anyway.]

As for you... [Humans may not be his creation in other realms, but he still thinks of them as his. He is fond and protective over them all the same.] You have been most useful. What is your name?

( she just smiles to him. moving a hand, she grasps the tuft of her dress and gives a respectful albeit brief curtsey to the man, recalling her manners )

I am called Belle, Ser. And what may I call you?
