I had honestly, foolishly convinced myself that I had something of a handle on this situation.

I had a job, and wasn't about to fall into the useless traps of panic, fear, or doubt that Chronos obviously meant to set for us here.

But even I must admit that this is a low point.

I've been fired from my position, after missing two

Athena! My lady! I heard you were here but it's good to see you, what attacked you?

[farshiner]

A dinosaur, as preposterous as that sounds.

[givenagift]

Oh, I've been reading about them! How did one get into this building?

[farshiner]

It wasn't just one. First, some eggs appeared, which hatched dinosaurs, and then their mothers came looking for them.

This was all Chronos' doing, naturally.

That doesn't sound good, of course I'll be available whenever you want.

And please, help me look for Persephone. I don't think she's in danger, she's hiding--if she's right under my nose or out of the country I don't know, but someone or more than someone is helping her. She was foolish enough to start a list, and the residents who disagree made it no secret. Dion will help too, of course

Let's see so far, Adonis, Ares, or Nemesis (be careful with her), are the ones (or one) I suspect are helping her. Theseus might help and of course Poseidon, but if he's hiding her it won't be long until he let's something slip. I still don't think he really cares about her. I will try to squeeze some information out of Pseudologos, she'd be able to tell if Persephone was lying about running away.

Well to be honest, it's... I've been fired from my job, and it doesn't look like I really have any way to get it back. I'm seeking out some new line of work, and open to suggestions.

I'll certainly help you out with Persephone - she's very willful and headstrong, and I think she might stumble into trouble trying so hard to stay away from you. Maybe I can coax her out of hiding.

I'll also see if I can find out who else might be in on this. I wouldn't worry too much about Adonis, but Ares... he had to be involved, didn't he?

From no fault of your own, if mortals knew what you were capable of they'd all be out to get you. Would you like me to help you get your old job back, or are you set on finding something different?

Persephone certainly is gullible.

I wouldn't be so quick to count Adonis out, think of who Persephone likes the most, but I'll have Dionysus tackle that one. Ares certainly would help even if it was only to spite me.

If you think there's a chance. I rather liked that job, actually.

That sounds more up Dion's alley anyways. I'm confident I can handle Nemesis well enough to perhaps get some information out of her, the subtler way.

Did you have anything in mind for them all?

[dorightorelse]

You have news?

[farshiner]

Yes. It's about my job.

Can I just say it? Oh why not. It's not as if you aren't already keeping a bigger, much more dire secret for me.

... or lack thereof. [sigh] Long story. I'm... working on it.

I don't consider it a secret. My life and your life are nobody else's damn business. Though I hardly see the situation as dire

You have lost your job?

Well, it is when you're famed and respected for not really having a private life, so to speak.

I was a Justice for the legal system of New York, and after having had to call off numerous appearances in court due to Chronos' penchant for trapping us all in the apartment complex, combined with the fact that Ares destroyed a large number of sensitive, private documents from many of my cases, out of spite... well, eventually they lost patience.

Part of me is still hoping I can get it back, because otherwise, well... I can't imagine I could get another job in that line of work, and it's what appeals to me the most, if I have to be stuck here.
