"Of course the culprit is amongst our kind, a deity, that much is as clear as a cloudless sky,"
Grey interjects and drums her fingers over the table, carving lines into the wood with the edges of her fingernails.
"The question is who , and in order to decipher this detail I’d suggest we thoroughly examine the events that have happened thus far."


The raven swerves overhead into a circle, interconnecting with its flight path, a feather moulting from its arced, outstretched wing.
"As we narrow suspects down by process of elimination, only then would we know which faiths to target."


"As far as I’m aware, the culprit has maintained an iron grip over that beast with a motive obscure to us, which, as you can tell, is not very helpful."


"As for death, I can say that the names of gods and mortals alike are on the tip of its tongue, forsaking none in its indiscriminate omnicide. We have lived long, but death has not forgotten us, Elatha."


Her head inclines, to a stretch of blue interspersed with grey, and her eyes peer at her raven.
"I can start by dispatching my ravens across the far lengths of the Eonfold with warnings, which may reduce potential deicide."


The raven caws, a few passing compatriots outside of the cafe of New York sparing a brief glance, and Grey flattens her lips into a frown.

((No real posting order, Reaper Ben. Generally the way I do my threads is fairly simple. I post. Then Everyone else posts when they have the time. Then I post again. Sometimes, I post early if our characters aren’t all in the same place- Like I’m doing right now!


I hope that works for you! It’s proven to be pretty efficient for me.))

“How noble of you,” Set mused softly. His long tail swished across the floor, touching nothing as it slithered around him.
He was like a serpent himself.
“Goddess,” he said. “If you DO find council with my brother and sister… tread cautiously. They are the self-proclaimed rulers of my Pantheon. Much like that monster, Zeus, they are wrathful and hateful. Not of humans though… but of other gods. Osiris and I fought once, and when I won, they set their son on me and made me into this.”
He held out his arms as if to indicate something about himself.
“You will find them difficult to deal with,” he said. “Yes….” He sighed. *I imagine that it WAS my brother and his sister-wife that have unleashed Apep on the Lady of Cats…” he thought out loud, perhaps to himself. “Do be safe, Goddess,” he said as his entire shape swirled into smoke. With a snap, as if his tail were a cracking whip, he vanished—leaving behind only the smell of burnt skin and hair and wood.

((I’m going to go ahead and post to respond to Grey too. I hope that’s alright with everyone. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you just can** stand having too much to read on.))

“If you so wish,” Elatha replied to Grey. “But I would advise against spreading your servants to far. You’ll draw attention to yourself. Whoever we are fighting would undoubtedly come after you.”

He briefly considered the possibility of using Grey or one of the others as bait to draw out their invisible enemy—but that seemed foolish. This foe left no evidence of itself.

“The possibilities are many,” he said. *There could be any multitude of gods with an agenda such as this. The force we face is targeting humanity through us, and vice versa it seems. Jove has always despised humans. Ever since he fought Prometheus.” He glanced at Aequitas. “Styx, Buluc Chabtan, the Erinyes, Phobos, Deimos, Cernunnos, and Eris to name a few. How do you propose we even shorten such a list?

Sol listened to the other god's explanation of their location, stopping occasionally to look around and take in the surroundings. Things were most definitely different in this place then in her home. And, for some strange reason, she also seems dot be getting a rough understanding of everything that was around her. In fact, some of the things that she was seeing seemed to mimic the functions of what she read about in the recovered tomes.

Sure she didn't know what most of the words meant, even if she could say and hear them no problem. But, maybe she would learn soon enough. Shaking her head to clear the stray thoughts, she refocuses on the conversation at hand. Elatha, that was what the kind god had called himself she believed, wanted to protect humans if she understood correctly.

The other goddess amongst them, Gray she believed she had introduced herself as, wanted to send the bird of hers to warn other gods. Elatha however, seemed to think that would draw attention to her, which would be bad. And to her best knowledge, attracting attention in situations like this would be bad. Memories of how many trips he had taken with the Explorers had failed due to drawing attention to themselves came to mind.

Shaking her head again, she focuses back on the conversation and decides to add to it with a question that had came to mind from what was said earlier. "What mean envoys and confidents," she asks. Then, adding onto the current conversation, "Also, who worst of all them? They probably one doing this."

((I'm in my finals week atm, so I won't be super active until Friday. Sorry guys :( ))

Leaning back in his chair, the god of Justice listened as the other gods shared what troubled them, the recent events had led many to grow troubled. Elatha spoke up, she was right, the possibilities were endless. Aequitas knew it all too well, many gods had reasons wipe out humans, either for their hate of them or for war against other gods. He himself had been the recipient of such intentions.

With two fingers to his right temple, the god spoke up, “Elatha is right, we cannot go after the gods in hope that the culprit stands out. A bait, even from you Grey, could prove too risky. However, if you deem it to be the best course of action, I will gladly lend my Watchers in order to draw heat away from your servants.” He turned to Sol, “You are right, my dragon friend, darkness clouds the heart and leads actions. Though you are young, you are as wise as the elders. A god whose heart has turned black, is likely the veiled mastermind.”

The god paused, pondering his plan, “However, much as surgeon cannot ignore the bleeding before removing the bullet, we must first attend to the matter of Set and Apep. We cannot let a rampaging monster destroy more gods and worlds. Though the search for the puppet master must be undertaken, we are compelled mend to our own first.”

His focus shifted back to Elatha, “I would suggest the older gods and myself find Set and Apep in order to better understand why the creature is without restraint, with Set*s help we could face and stop the beast. I do not recommend the younger gods engage on the fight with us, I fear Apep may target them specifically. We need further evidence in order to umask our enemy or enemies. We need to gather clues, though I am use to fighting blind” the god chuckled.

“Many of you are not. Of course, if the younger gods wish to come along and face Apep, their help would be welcomed. Bravery and courage nests with youth, and from those miracles emerge.” Aequitas let his voice fade, he did not fear his own fate, but rather the one of the younger gods. They were vulnerable to the monster’s rampage. "The Fates, though mysterious in nature, should be sought. I do not believe such events expired without their knowledge. The trick will be to get them to spill their secret."

"
Noble? Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
" Eleria mused, although as Set had already vanished she was once again talking to herself. The smell remaining was out of place in the faintly musty and book-smelling library, but it was for that reason that the goddess allowed it to remain. Her realm rarely experienced a change of any sort, and so when one did occur she usually let it remain for as long as it wished to. With something like this, that was almost no time at all, but the minute or two that it remained allowed the area to feel different.

Because Set seemed to think that it was most likely the rulers of his Pantheon that set Apep in motion, she was inclined to think so as well. Apart from the fact that it would bear investigating because it was the natural continuation of the path she had started down, it was also the only thing she had to go on. Without the existence of a counter-point, what was there was forced to be seen as at least a somewhat-truth until more evidence surfaced.

It was getting that next bit of evidence that she was somewhat concerned about. There was no reason for Set to give her a warning if he had not meant it, and although she doubted there would be serious consequences for her unless they actually were at fault and she started to continually pry into their affairs, she still intended to be careful. At the very least, that meant letting everyone else know before she went, and it was likely she would expand that to letting them decide what would be the best course of action as well. It was their fight as well, after all. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

To that end, she began prowling down the aisles, searching for a book that would reveal itself to her when she went by it. The books provided everything in her realm, including message delivery and receiving, and a message was what she needed to send right now. Elatha and the rest of the gods that had been invited to the meeting that had been so rudely interrupted were likely on their way somewhere by now - although given how the discussions of gods could go, they might also be in the middle of a discussion that could last for the next several hundred years - and she felt it was only polite to ask if she should join them.

Eventually, the text revealed itself, and Eleria withdrew it, quickly scrawling a message on the blank page with a feather quill that appeared inside the book. The message would appear on a scrap of paper in the air in front of Elatha - as he had seemed more of the coordinator from their previous encounter - and would read,
I have found out a few bits of information regarding the situation with Apep. Before I pursue them further, I would like to share them with you, as this is as much your path as mine. If it is acceptable, I will come to find you now.

“Envoys and confidants,” Elatha told Sol. “Mortal humans as you and I once are, capable of having a connection to the Eonfold deeper than that which is the norm. Ambassadors that we could employ to move in our stead,” he thought for a moment. “There are… places, whens and wheres, inaccessible to our kind.”
He thought of Demeter who had never been able to enter the realm of Hunger.

He dismissed the young goddess’s second question, knowing that it was perhaps impossible to answer, and also sensing a sudden chill in the air.
A gust of wind blew coldly through the air and swept by the table of gods, blowing a scrap of paper to the center of their table.
Seeing words written across it, the moon god plucked the paper from where it had landed and read it out loud to his comrades.

“I have found out a few bits of information regarding the situation with Apep. Before I pursue them further, I would like to share them with you, as this is as much your path as mine. If it is acceptable, I will come to find you now.*

*Well at least one of us is making progress,” he mused as he reached into his jacket and produced a pen that had only just appeared there.

“We are gathering in a safe place. Lend yourself to our discussion,” he read as he finished writing on the back side of the message.
He raised the leaf of paper to the air as another gust of wind swept through the café and blew it out of sight.
