Hi all.

I've found in my travels that the best ways to get to know a community are to see what people do in their off time and find out where they go. So. Tell me anything.

What are your favorite places to eat?

What do you do with your time?

What are popular activities or hobbies around here?

For my own interestes, I have a few specifics:

Where is the nearest record shop?

Does anyone need an archival specialist? Data engineer? Librarian?

Also-- Does anyone know of a half decent mechanic that will follow instructions?

Thanks.

probably for the best!

i have no idea what a lot of what you said means individually and definitely not when strung together. still learning a lot about the things in this place. not sure what a mechanic is supposed to do. might be worth using that little search thing on the phone device thing we are using to talk. it was useful for me!

[ very technical ]

i mean i would only do that if you made me really mad and i don't really think i am the guy who gets mad!

i like raspberries and blueberries a lot

and i liked to nap around in parks especially if you make your way into the trees

people will leave you alone a lot it turns out if you just sleep randomly in the trees

in a sentence: I was wounded and I borrowed the goddess's name to rebuild my fortitude.

That's the core of it, anyway.

It's been years since I hit the books, but I recall Hypnos as kind of keeping out of the messier affairs unless specifically asked. I guess you have too much napping to do to bother with it, huh? That helps me feel a little better, now.

Rasberries and blueberries sound REALLY good right now. I think pie with cream, a coffee, and a nap in a tree sounds like a good way to spend an afternoon.

that makes sense then

i like the peace and quiet as much as i can get which you do not really get with the olympians. and i like the underworld. and time in the house of hades is a lot of fun. i get to greet people who come out of styx.

i mean it must be nice to see a welcoming face like mine especially if they were just with one of my brothers.

a bit more of a make sure you have a peaceful sleep though. i am the good guy. and i don't trick girls by turning into random animals so that's a big plus.

[Somewhere on the other side, Athena snorted with laughter.]

Oh gods. Zeus is the WORST!

But now I'm curious-- what is Hades like as a boss? I always imagined him as being sort of like a long suffering accountant who really loves his wife. He's God of the Dead, not Death. That's for Thanatos to deal with.

And, maybe Hermes. Mostly Thanatos though.

[verytired]

lol i hear is the right way to respond to that

[ he's learning ]

hades is a neat boss. he likes my doodles and made me employee of the week once. he's a pretty big guy with a long beard. he is very busy and kind of grumpy but i like him most of the time.

i mean yeah it is mostly thanatos. he is always so busy. he was here but he's gone home.

that is ok though. he will be much happier at home.

[vintagehardmedia]

That tracks.

They both seem like the type that would be very busy. Thanatos must not have known what to do with himself here. Poor guy must not have much time for hobbies...

[verytired]

maybe not. i have no ideas there. i do not think he had a hobby. i do not think i do, either.

not sure what type of hobby the god of sleep has? naps? i liked to draw at home. lord hades liked my drawings, too.

[vintagehardmedia]

Art totally counts as a hobby. Anything that catches your interest and keeps your attention counts.

What kind of drawings do you do?

[verytired]

i drew people who came through styx to the house so like

a lot of recently dead
some shade
sometimes thanatos
sometimes zagreus
sometimes a very unhappy megaera

[vintagehardmedia]

Given how rough the stories say that Heracles was with her?

She's perfectly right up be upset.

[verytired]

she is usually mad because zagreus beat her up
but she is always nice to me even then
so no complaints regardless

[vintagehardmedia]

I'm a little concerned about why Zagreus is beating her up... but she's a strong woman who can take her own fights.

It's good that she's nice to you, so I'm glad that you have a good time with everything!

[verytired]

she can
she is strong and terrifyin
she's great
but it's this whole thing...they do i guess

[ He's not convinced it's not just flirting. ]

[vintagehardmedia]

Oh, so it's an on and off thing.

You'd think that people would sort out their issues after a few centuries. But, regardless, they sound like a fun team to be around. I'm almost jealous.
