Who: Theseus and Nike
What: Daddy pressed the red button, Theseus gets played.
When: Wednesday, June 3rd
Where: Outside Theseus' boat
Warnings: More Theseus manhandling, but with someone new.
Theseus didn't buy into this whole suit and tie business, the whole job market was a farce. Unfortunately, there was no money in just being an Olympian's son, it didn't get him as many upgrades and disadvantages these days unless Poseidon wanted to lord it over his head. It was a double edged sword, because it was the quickest way at least for Theseus to get a source of income, and considering even docking his boat cost some fees and taxes (even to have the damned thing on paper) left him trudging to that all ball and chain of ordinary life.
He had a purpose now, he had a daughter whose life he was determined to be a part of. He still might screw it up royally (what Greek didn't), but he was making the effort he'd never made before and it was well worth nothing. Poseidon however had long since held a grudge over Theseus' head for skipping town. If it wasn't Zoe who hammered him about giving into a lustful Sin as a boat companion those months ago, then it was his father. He might have given him a job, pulled some strings and even gone so far as to give his grand-daughter a position via Theseus' begging---but he was still going to toy with his bastard son. More importantly, teach him a lesson.
To Poseidon's amusement he sent a army of squad cars over to Theseus' boat before he could step off on the dock. Calling in sick for a headache (stress was murder) was apparently not on the agenda for the day without some repercussions. It also didn't help that Poseidon had some pull and was rather convincing at making up lies to get his victims in trouble.
