[The room that Poseidon is in is a mess - chairs have been overturned, broken fragments of breakable things lying around, couch cushions divested of their innards, etc. But Poseidon is angry and paranoid, which is never a good combination. He's scowling at something off-screen.]Why the fuck is there a cat here? I don't like it. It's looking at me

Would you be less offended by a catfish?

They were here.

[earthshakin]

Well, yeah, kid. Having one of my homeboys here would be a marked improvement. Don't trust cats, dogs, mortals or Cronus.

Huh. I never noticed. So, what, they escaped?

[sunshnesongster]

"Catfish are my homeboys" that'd make a wonderful t-shirt slogan for you.

Escaped, were let loose, died, ran away, were eaten, are hiding-- all are equally likely possibilities...except maybe the "were eaten part." I don't know if anyone could stomach y'all twice.

[earthshakin]

You think I'll be stuck here long enough to justify getting that t-shirt made?

Zeus would give anyone indigestion, yeah. Too bad. Hades might go down better with some salt.

How long you been here, kid?

[cursed_vision]

Don't hurt B. Please.

And welcome Lord Poseidon.

[earthshakin]

B? What, the cat? Make a sacrifice in my name and then we'll talk.

You're polite, I'll give you that. Who are you?

[cursed_vision]

Yes, the cat.

I'm Cassandra of Troy. I know to appreciate the gods who helped build the walls that protected my city.

[earthshakin]

I won't bother unless it pisses me off.

A Trojan. What the Huh, this could be fun.

Your forebears didn't have any such appreciation. I find it hard to believe that you're any different.

[pennywaits]

Oh dear.

[earthshakin]

Oh, let me guess. You don't want me to hurt the cat.

[pennywaits]

...Something like that, Lord Poseidon.

[earthshakin]

And? Do you have anything else to say, or are you just trying to waste my time?

[inspiredvoice]

Way ta break shit, Uncle P! That'll show that furniture!

[earthshakin]

Are you mocking me, muse?

[inspiredvoice]

Have you met me, Uncle P?
