[The feed starts with a fuzzy blue view, the sound of fabric shifting can be heard over steps on wood. The blur stops and the blue reveals to be someone's jeans. Then the feed moves again and this time it shows an upside down view of a young man: it's clear that Desmond is holding his communication device in his hand by his side and has

[Have a curious elf tilting his head at you.] Are you suggesting we're all figments of your imagination?

[He blinks. Those ears....what the hell they're pumping into his veins for him to have such weird coma dreams?]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You have a better explanation?

[Because seriously, not having turned insane would be nice, really]

Well, there is the correct answer, which would be this is all happening and you're trapped in the Underworld with several others from various worlds. It's also the simplest. I'd hate to imagine how disturbed a mind would be to imagine all this into creation.

[Desmond stays silent as he weights the other...male's word and tone.]

[failssassin]

Insane God. Great. Let me guess, we're under Zeus' control?

[doesnotbrood]

I don't know. I haven't heard of this "Zeus".

[doesnotbrood]

And we're to fight in her name? Against Hades' army?
