We left Sunnydale Thursday morning and finally got into Athens sometime Friday morning. We checked into a hotel and crashed for a while. Then we took a small commuter flight to an airport outside of of Larissa which is ing the Thessaly district. It was beautiful, someplce we neve got to see the last time Penn and I were here and we'll definitely have to come back and see it again. But in Larissa we met with the curator of the Archaeological Museum of Larissa. Travis said that that museum was the last known owners of the the statue we were looking for. Fortunatly it was sold to a private collector a few years back. Its easier to buy something from a private collector that it is to buy it from a museum.
The new owners name was Demetrios Theropalis and he had and estate a few miles outside of the city. He was a decent guy and I nearly had him sold on selling it to me until Penn decided to get involved in the process. I love him to death but minus the sould he um sorta lacks tact. We went back to the hotel and I convinced him to stay back and let me give it another shot. I went back the next day and thats when the guy got really curious why I wanted it. I didn't think he'd believe me if I said well see the God of Lust is sorta making LA make Nero's hodonististic ways look like a walk in the park. But then I realized that he thought I wanted the staute to call Pan. So I sorta had to tell him ooops someone beat me to it and no it was need to put him back. He kinda feaked out, I think he might been around the last time Pan was let out of the bottle and didn't want to relive it. So he sold me the statue for a fair price.
So now we're on our way back to LA. I'm tempted just to have Penn port us back. I don't wanna misuse his abilities but we are stuck in New York, can't get a flight out 'til tonight. I just want to get back home, so I can check on the kids and then see what we can do to get Penn his soul back. I have no clue as to where to even start. And it not like Penns a jerk or anything without his soul, its just the not caring the void of any feeling what so ever. It's really hard to get used to. I used to be able to feel everything he felt and now there just nothing.
Yeah like I said I wanna get home and figure this out.
