[A pause.]

Uh, guys...

No. This cannot be happening. I am five minutes from securing Mount Olympus and... NNNNGH!

Uh...

[ggggentlemen]

No need to be gettin' mad at me, I'm not th'one you should be getting a tone with.

Now if you really want someone to blame, I'd direct you to our Captain.

[myhairisflames]

Oh, excuse me. Where are my manners? I must have fed them to the Cerebus. Name's Hades.

Now buzz off.

[likesfootnotes]

Being summoned that close to completing your charge is a complete drag, you have my sympathies.

[He is assuming this is a magician-bound charge. The voice is sounding a little too epic to NOT be a spirit of some magnitude.]

[myhairisflames]

Summoned? Summoned?!

I'm not-

It's not a charge, it is a lifelong aspiration for revenge. Not even close to the same thing, kid.

[likesfootnotes]

Revenge, you said?

[Wary Bartimaeus is now wary. He has recently experienced firsthand what a spirit's desire for vengeance can do to an innocent bystander such as himself. Well, almost innocent.]

What is it you're claiming revenge for?

[myhairisflames]

Getting the shaft, kid.

[lilyground]

[Is that Lily's NEW BEST FRIEND???]

Hi! I'm Lily Worth. Did you just get here?

[myhairisflames]

[Shit. It's a kid. Be nice, Hades. Remember your karma. Psh.]

Yes, I did, Lily Worth. Now go bother your mom.

Yer getting sweet all over me.

[lilyground]

[Y so friendly?]

I don't have a mom.

[Sheee's going to assume he just got here.]

What's your name?

[myhairisflames]

Hades.

What about yer dad? Kid like you's got to have a dad, right? Bother him.
