[ The tablet displays a man in chainmail and plate armor face down on Charon's raft a few feet away - device still being held by the boatman. For a moment the body is still, and then a loud groan emits from it.

The head moves. Glances around. Stills.

A sigh and it's like the whole man deflates with exasperation. ]

Merlin. [ Tone just seething

[Oh, he can smell the condescension on this one.]

You demand answers.

[ Luckily he's chilled out a little more by this point and Ivy's made the point that he's making life more difficult on himself right now. ]

I've been told I'll be more likely to get them if I politely request answers.

[doesnotbrood]

How fortunate for all of us. And what are you questions?

audio;

[shutupmerlin]

Yes, pardon me for taxing the lot of you with what's standard protocol when abducted by enemies. Most have been answered up to the point of why a set of Old Gods would have interest in holding a mass of peoples hostage, aside from some bizarre amusement.

[doesnotbrood]

We've been collected to be used as a distraction.

audio;

[shutupmerlin]

Well that's only slightly less vague. A distraction for what?

audio;

[doesnotbrood]

To distract the lord of this place, Hades is his name. He's apparently quite mad.

audio;

[shutupmerlin]

So we're to be his, what, fun little pastime until he gets bored of torture and moves on to, I don't know, gardening and needs some corpses for lawn decorations? Who's bright idea was that?

audio;

[doesnotbrood]

Hecate's, or so she says.

audio; sorry for the wait on this tag, I had an rp slump + rl stuff ;_;

[shutupmerlin]

And the reason for this distraction she's volunteered us to provide? What would we rather Hades not be paying attention to?

audio;

[doesnotbrood]

Her. I wasn't claiming she is a good person.

audio;

[shutupmerlin]

Great. Good to know no one's actually on our side. Has there been any kind of organized resistance formed?

audio;

[doesnotbrood]

Resistance to what, precisely, Prince?

audio;

[shutupmerlin]

To our capture and the things trying to kill us. Or are we just to run about like chicken with our heads cut off?

audio;

[doesnotbrood]

We don't, though I assume you have a brilliant answer to our situation. I'm aquiver with anticipation.

[OOC: I did skip Arthur's tag on Fenris' post ;;. I just wanted to see where they stand with each other first <3]

Actually, I do! It's astounding in it's simplicity, really! Even the excessively hostile pessimists about might be able to grasp it - form an army. It doesn't exactly seem like you've a shortage of people.

[ ooc; ahh, no worries, totally understandable <3 ]
