[ Another beautiful day in the City. The weather is weathery, there might be birds...

...and there's a cymbal-clapping, sirenish-screeching toy monkey.

On fire.

With one angry god looking down at it. ]

...why won't you shut up already?

[ Clearly, you should bother him. And/or join in abusing said toy monkey. ]

Oh.

[ Shiny. ]

[heliolatrous]

What, is that it?

[everhoping]

It's on fire.

[heliolatrous]

It was getting on my nerves.

[everhoping]

Isn't that too much? It's just a toy, you know...?

[heliolatrous]

I don't care what it is, it's too noisy!

[everhoping]

I wonder what will happen if you put it under water...

[heliolatrous]

Like I care.

[everhoping]

Maybe it'll stop making sounds then? I can't talk when I'm under water...

[heliolatrous]

...

[ That splash is the thing being thrown in the fountain.

It is still just as loud. ]

That didn't do anything!

[everhoping]

Oh, that didn't work...

Maybe if you throw it somewhere deeper?

[heliolatrous]

How would that help?

Stupid Poseidon, I bet this is his fault.

[everhoping]

Then it'll be far from you and underwater... maybe you won't hear it then!

Poseidon?

[heliolatrous]

...It won't work.

He's the god of the oceans. And really annoying.

[everhoping]

A god?

[heliolatrous]

I'm way better than him, though.
