WW LXXIX: Fall From Olympus

[Glirdan]

Okay, Everyone stop posting.

[Glirdan]

The Gods gathered in the main chamber once more (Hermes's body had been removed earlier in the Day) to make a choice on who they were ready to single out of the group. Everyone was gun ho for taking out someone.

That is until Hades piped up. "What about that mortal? Where the heck did he go?" Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the mortal that somehow ended up on Olympus with Hercules. A quick scan of the room pointed him out, cowering in a corner, completely soiled, a look of petrification set on his face.

"What are you doing here mortal?" Zeus's voice rumbled out. "Or are you really a mortal? Perhaps you are another God sent to set the Twilight upon us!"

"No, no! I swear, I am just a measly little human! I have no idea how I got here!" The Gods began advancing on him, he scrambled away from them in fright. "Please, you have to believe me! I don't know anything about this Twilight you keep talking of." He kept backing up as the Gods advanced menacingly.

"How do we know you're actually telling the truth!?" Hera demanded scathingly.

"No, please!! I swear I don't know - AAAAAAHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh......." His voice echoed all around the Mountain as the Mortal fell to his untimely death.

IT IS NOW NIGHT 3

You all know what to do.

I would type it all out, but I'm exhausted and need to get to bed.

[Glirdan]

The death of the mortal did not ease the Gods that Night, for they unwittingly murdered a purely innocent mortal (not that some of them cared) who worshiped and revered them.

Once again, Apollo was back in his regular trance and Pan was out on patrol. Zeus and Hera were once again locked in their bed chambers, awaiting the coming of dawn. Even Hestia was not herself, seeing things that she never dreamed she could.

Yet they all dreaded the coming of the Day, where they knew they wouldn't have any peace....

STILL NIGHT 2
Artemis and Eros need to send me a name
Also waiting for the Wolves to send me their pick.

[Glirdan]

The Gods awoke the following morning, expecting the worst of the worst, and with good reason. After all, they congregated in the Dawn only to find that two of their own were slaughtered in the Night.

However, this dawning was different...much different. For one, when they congregated, a slight glimmer of sunshine peaked through the purple clouds to illuminate the Grand Hall.

Another great surprise was when Eros walked in the room with a fantastic announcement.

"I was able to keep one of our own safe last Night!" He went on to tell the tale of what happened. Apparently, four figures were approaching the room of one of the Gods (who's he could not guess) as he was patrolling the halls. He rushed in to stop them and engaged them in a very short battle. Whoever it was, gave up quite easily and scampered away in the Night.

The Gods shouted in delight at Eros's victory. But they weren't through the woods yet. The Gods separated, earnest to discuss the previous Day's events and the events of the Night.

RANGER SAVE NO ONE DIED!!

IT IS NOW DAY 4

Shirrifs may continue posting.
Everyone start posting.

[the phantom]

Heh heh... I don't mean to get carried away after the events of the night, but- we've totally got this, guys.

Though we've found no WWs, we lynched the one and only Ordo, which is as good as you could hope for when you lose a good-guy. Our other lynch was a Lover, keeping the Wolves from gaining an ally.

And if I read the narration correctly, Hestia the Mytho is now a Seer. And then this morning our Mod actually told us which Ranger it was that had the successful protection, meaning that we essentially have a Seer dream in our pocket (Eros knows that person is innocent). And Athena knows one of the Gifteds, so that's sort of another Seer dream in pocket. If Hades has found Persephone and we kill him, she comes back with yet another dream for us, plus we have Demeter who knows who Persephone is (and thus can perhaps find Hades more easily). And if we kill Hera, Zeus comes over to us with an extra power. And we still have two Rangers, and a Hunter, and two Shirrifs, and a Unicorn.

So people- do not mess this up. In other words, don't leave without voting thinking you will probably be back. A random vote is better than getting yourself modfired.

Of course, if our remaining Seer (Apollo) happens to be false, so is Hestia, unless I've got things badly wrong. However, looks like Boro was the false one, anyway.

Eros must know who he protected, so what (the Hades!) does this mean?

I believe it's just a narrational thing - Glirdanmod didn't want to reveal the protected one's identity in the narration, so he wrote it like that. (Because any logic would say that Eros knows who he protected!)

Anyway, I have some comments on yesterDay, and will analyse one of the baffling guys who escape the general attention ie. Inzil, Nienna, Shasta, Sally or Lalaith (any preferences?) I'll do all that in some hours, as I have some important (and confusing!) paperwork to do. Just popped in to check what happened during the Night.

Maybe that's just poetic licence? Otherwise it's hard to see what it means.

Heh, the phantom, the official optimist!

Though to remind us of the truth from the opposite perspective: we have all four wolves left + one cursed, and we haven't been nowhere near lynching even one. Yeah, we've only got two band-wagons on innocents. You others cannot know this, to be sure, and I'm not supposing you will take my word for it - but as I'm going to be posting quite scantily the next few Days (if alive anyway), I'd like to remind you about it. It has some relevance when you try to look at how the wolves might have acted. But I'll come to that a bit later.

[satansaloser2005]

Consider the source?

So I hate to bring this up, because it's completely cheap, but Hestia ccould totally come out toDay. I'll give you how (that's the cheap part) and then I'll give you why.

Eros could protect him/her toNight (provided that he didn't last Night) and Pan (under the same restrictions) could protect hm/her the next, etc. We could test Hestia's dreams and see if they were true, and if not, the rangers could (I suppose) stop protecting him/her on rotation. If he/she is the real seer, though, we'd have him/her around at least long enough to clear a hopefully long list of people.

Of course it would be better in a way if Apollo came out, because he/she has had more dreams, but if Hestia told us who he/she picked (as in whether or not he/she picked Boro, as we don't want to know otherwise) we could find out through the above process whether Boro was the false seer, and likewise, Apollo would know if they were the true seer or not. So Apollo gives us more information, but Hestia can tell us if any of that information is useful.

So basically....I think I'm suggesting that we sacrifice Hestia. Sort of. I don't really like the idea of putting her in harm's way, but at the same time it will give us (or at least the other seer) invaluable information as to the truth of the seers' dreams.

Of course if Hestia is now our real seer and he/she is killed because of this plan, we're in deep crap. (If that happens, I completely offer myself for lynch as penance, though it won't really help us with anything at that point.) However, at least we would know which seer is which, as would Apollo. If Apollo's dreams are false, they're (by which I mean the dreams) are of no use, so they'll obviously not rely on them. However, if they know their dreams are in fact true, it could help us out later (especially if Apollo manages to stay hidden for quite a long time).

So, what do you think? Could it work? Is it worth it?
