Helena's got my back.

I love and appreciate your insight, it is very nerdy and cute. I've watched the Mummy like 50 times so I think I'll be fine. Plus I'm used to dealing with god artifacts.

[ godifacts? ]

Where are you?

[powerofgod]

Movies are not real life, Miss Beauregard.

I am in South America.

[chocolateries]

According to most people, demigods aren't real life either and yet here I am, being real. If a mummy doesn't come to life and try to reincarnate his lost forbidden love into my body, I'll give you the win, but right now it's Schrödinger's Mummy.

South America is/was big, wanna narrow that down for the geographically challenged?

[powerofgod]

( well. he can't argue that.

eric would like this one, he thinks. he has an appreciation for smarts and sass. )

I believe we are in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

[chocolateries]

First Carnival and now Rio, hmmm seems like a pattern. Lent is coming.

[powerofgod]

You'll forgive me if I fail to abide by the customs of God's people.

( he might believe in the modern human concept thereof, but taranis was his people's god and is still chief in his mind. )

[chocolateries]

I will forgive you because I am not a vengeful god.

That is two things though and I don't believe in coincidences so you might want to look out for a third thing. Like a big crucifix. And then avoid that.

[ little does she know that he is under a whole ass jesus. ]

[powerofgod]

Why do you suggest I avoid it?

[chocolateries]

Vampire, weird catholic not-coincidences, three is a significant number?

Just um

Don't die.

[powerofgod]

Vampires of my world are undeterred by religious iconography. We predate the advent of Christianity by thousands of years besides.

It is kind of you to be concerned for me. I might say the same to you.

[chocolateries]

So does my mom and this stupid universe took all my powers away so maybe you're secretly allergic to Jesus and you just don't know it yet.

[powerofgod]

Silena.

I will be careful.

( she is likely panicking. anyone of her relative age would do the same. )

Is your mother an immortal as well?

[chocolateries]

[ he is 100% correct. after caroline, she is lowkey worried about all her friends being manipulated somehow. ]

She's the Greek Goddess of Love and Absent Parenting, so yeah

[powerofgod]

( hm. )

Aphrodite? Curious. They are not real entities in my world.

[chocolateries]

Not in most people's worlds. Jesus and the Beatles are bigger than them in my own world but that is why they keep having kids. They fade when their worship or domain wanes. The god Pan faded last year because humans are destroying Earth and Selene faded because the stupid Romans decided they could only afford sacrifices for one moon goddess so they gave stupid Artemis her duties.

[ maybe that is why silena's zerzuran alter-ego wanted to save zerzura and sacrifice this world, to bring pan back. also fuck off artemis. ]

Luckily for my mom, love is powerful so she won't fade as long as humanity continues to be very incredibly human.

[powerofgod]

( well, he can't argue with 'stupid romans'. )

I'm sorry to interrupt, I would like to hear more about this at some point less fraught, but I have been informed by a colleague of mine, a Mr. Terrence Ephemera, that the rations on your trip may be poisoned and may cause people to go berserk. Please avoid them if you are able.

[chocolateries]

[ silena slaps a granola bar out of helena's hands, quickly explaining the situation because she honestly knows better than to take food from helena. ]

Good to know. Guess there's a time limit now if we don't have clean water.

[ time to be a reckless demigod and test it all!!! ]

[powerofgod]

Yes. Be careful. Please find Mr. Ephemera, he will do his best to look after you at my behest. He is a tall man, dark-haired, with a notable scar to the left of his face.

[chocolateries]

[ instant, defiant, having to be rescued (twice!) in as many days has been a blow to her ego, but she doesn't want to be coddled! ]

I can take care of myself, you know. I faced the Lydian Drakon in single combat.

[powerofgod]

I do not perceive you as weak or helpless, Silena.

But there is strength to be had in numbers, no shame in seeking assistance, and he is a good man.

[chocolateries]

Right, sorry, being uberdramatic isn't going to make anyone think I can look after myself anyway.

[powerofgod]

It is unlikely to.

As one who appears to be a teenager, I do understand your plight. Be patient with those that may offer you help. It is done out of kindness.

[chocolateries]

I know, I know, you're right. Gonna be 17 forever, might as well get used to it now.

[powerofgod]

( it is possible that this place puts a halt to one's aging. he has not cared to inquire, as it is irrelevant to him in every respect.

yet, while he knows teenage girls to be prone to fits of pique, overexaggeration and theatrics, forever is an interesting word in this instance to use. after all, did he not come here in the moments preceding his own death?

she knows what he is. he does not think her one to say such things unless there is some element of willingness to discuss it, and she has been forthcoming about everything else so far. he is not curious for curiosity's own sake, but she has been kind to him, and humans are often troubled by such things. even, he imagines, ones that claim demigod blood.

part of him wishes his progeny were here. nora is a fairer hand than he. )

You are dead to your world, then?

[chocolateries]

Yeah. You know how I said I faced the Lydian Drakon in single combat? I didn't win.

But it's fine! You don't need to feel bad or anything. I know where I'm going after this and I'm going to see Charlie again, he's waiting for me. I'm just stuck here for a while like a really kidnappy purgatory.
