Olympus Rising Online Network

The Worm Moon is approaching. The last moon of winter, and I for one am looking forward to it. The Fulcrum Moon, the Full Crest Moon, the Full Sap Moon. Winter slips away with one last gust, ushering in the spring. Life springs forth, and soon the trees will be green again. I'm so ready for it.

I generally like to refrain from saying we told you so. But in this case? We fucking told you so.

Prophecies aren't for shits and giggles. They're a warning of impending events so that something can be done. I would think that most of you wouldn't need to be reminded of this.

{Kings + Queens}
Alright. Take two of this. Do you squabbling kids think you could play nice for an afternoon and we can discuss what could be done if, us forbid, this happens again?

This is what we saw coming. This is what we tried to warn about. I don't know what could have been done. But something. Don't ignore us again.

um... UM.. WHAT THE FUCK?!

Things have to change. There is so much in fighting and we need to stop it. So, I'm proposing a meeting between all of us, and the Fates.

They had a prophecy tonight and if we continue on the direction we currently are? Well, let's just say that Kronos will win. Again. And I'm pretty sure that none of us want that.

The meeting will be held this Saturday at our warehouse at Noon.

[It's a typical day for Clotho. She's behind the shop counter, assisting the occasional customer and playing on her phone. It's almost too normal. That is, until her vision starts to go blurry. She'd chalk it up to stress, if it weren't for the fact that her knees are about to give out. That's never a good sign.

She screams for her sisters, and Lachesis is down the stairs barely after the sound has faded. She manages to catch Clotho before she falls, just in time for her eyes to go unfocused and far away. Ladies and gentlemen, the Maiden has left the building. Atropos and Lachesis trade worried looks, because they know whatever's about to come out of Clotho's mouth isn't going to be good.

'The ties that bind are breaking.' The voice that comes out of her mouth is still Clotho's, though weighted with the authority of her age and position. 'Ever on and on, brother against brother, and sharp tongues will be the match to set the Mountain burning. The ashes will give forth nothing, and the wave of gold will sweep the land.'

Having said this, her eyes roll back into her head and the lids fall closed, and Lachesis looks up at her sister, dread all over her face. All of them can count on one hand the times they've given prophecy, and it was never a good sign when they did. They needed to tell Zeus. Immeditately.]

[Zeus & Hera]
We have a problem.

My children, who is here? Erebus has found me and now I want to find you.

["Atropos, no, this is a terrible idea."

"I can't believe you're saying that to me, Lash. After the shitshow that was yesterday?"

"Yes, fine, it was, but do you really need to keep fanning the flames?"

"If they're going to act like children? Yes. Fuck yes. Now move, or I move you."]

Alright, children. [And in this instance, I don't give two shits how old you are. You act like children, I address you like children.]

Look. I'm well aware that tempers are running very high. Lots of things were said that made people angry. And all that fallout will be dealt with separately. However. That isn't the point of this post. All of you are giving Kronos exactly what he wants. The fighting amongst ourselves is playing right into his hands, how are we supposed to prepare for whatever's coming if we're too busy squabbling?

And you know all of us. And how we are. We're content to let you mostly get along as you see fit. However. If we feel it necessary, we will intervene. Don't make us do that. We have stuff to be doing. Like managing that stupid Loom.

"Time will stop. Where once there were thousands, now there will be silence. The madness of one will become the sorrow of many."

This was told to me this afternoon while another of our kind awakened (I will let them introduce themselves if they so choose to). It was then followed up with, "Kronos is coming." I'm not sure what it fully means. But, I wanted to let everyone know that..... something is coming. I don't know when or where. But something.

Everyone please be safe. If you need a safe place, the warehouse is open to everyone of you. There is also Olympus. Ariadne has been busy with linking places here with there. If you need access to a doorway, please let one of us know.

I would like to know who all is here. And, if possible, meet with each of you.

My sister is a killjoy.

Apparently, wanting to dress up like the Hatbox Ghost, hide in the horror section, and tell people we've been dying to meet them isn't something I should do. She never lets me have any fun. It's a Disney character! What's wrong with that?!

We need more people speaking our names and worshiping us again. I'm trusting you to make this happen...

It wasn't diffiult to find Mount Olympus. Of course it wasn't. It was right there. But the difficult part, or Zeus and Hera had figured, would be opening the gates. Because surely Kronos and his ilk had done something to keep them out. Barred them, at best. Destroyed them, and the rest of Olympus at worst. Needless to say it was surprising that they were able to easily (well, relatively speaking) find and open the gates to their home.

It was even more surprising when they saw that, for the most part, it was mostly intact. There was still damage from the war, but, the buildings were still there. The palaces were still there. Everything was still there. Untouched. There had been a slight rumble when the King and Queen first entered. But, really, Zeus had just thought that it was due to the gates opening - it had taken a little force and they had shook as they opened, after all.

The tingling in his body, though. That was new. And Hera was feeling it too. It sort of felt like an odd vibration running through them. It felt like it was running through the entire area. Kind of like their home was coming back to life with their presence; welcoming them back. The door to their palace was pushed open, and when it was, there was what he could only call a shockwave that erupted from it and hit them full force.

Both of them staggered back and, while he didn't feel like his old self, there was something new and different; yet very familiar all at the same time. "Did you feel that?" He looked over at Hera, and he could have swore she was glowing slightly. Was she? Maybe? He didn't know. Was he? All he knew that he was home. They were home.

He also knew that there was a very strong scent of ozone, and a moment later, there was a loud peal of thunder and the skies lit up with lighting. And he knew that he'd caused it. He just smiled and looked over to Hera. Things were going to start looking up for them - all of them - he was sure of it.


Awakened Olympians and Allies

Olympus is once more open to us. All of us.



(OOC NOTE: So, with the re-opening of Olympus, those Olympians (allies, anti-titan, w/e) that have already awakened have regained some of their abilities and strength. They're still not anywhere near full strength, but...



Also, those Olympians that are not awake, this hasn't awakened them, but, it has jostled them a little bit. Still feel free to wake them up on your own terms, but, maybe they've started to get the headaches and dreams that preceded the others waking up.

Also, SORRY FATES, the Loom's probably going apeshit right now..... oops.)

I think the other two have finally stopped bickering. Mostly. I mean, they'll never totally stop, but for now, the upstairs is quiet. Taking bets on how long that's going to last.

Anyway. I'm down in the shop, keeping an eye on things and drinking endless cups of tea. Also trying to figure out what we're going to do with these 50 copies of Poe's collected works that we received by mistake. We definitely didn't order them. At least not that I remember? And we definitely don't have space for them, so I'm probably just gonna keep 2 or 3, and slap $5 stickers on the rest of them. So I guess we're having a Poe fire sale. Get 'em while they're hot.

You leave town for a few months, come back and everything exploded. Seems about right.

So, is the girl just made for you?
Also, I'm at your place. Bring home pizza.

I don't know why she didn't announce the back to school sale yet. We're so behind!

Should anyone need classics for your English class, supplemental research for biology, workbooks in other languages, or a new sketchbook, please come and visit us, because we probably have it. 30% off most things runs until the end of September, and if we don't have it, we can order it.

Excuse me a moment, I need to go strangle my sister. She runs the shop well enough when we're not there, but sometimes other things just get completely ignored.
