I have an idea that might help us protect Hope and see who makes a move against him. Annabeth, do you still have your cap?

[yearrounder]

Yes, why? What are you thinking?

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

Well, Hope's temple is the most likely place people will hit right? If anyone's stupid enough to try and take the Null's suggestion and go after Hope. We work in shifts, see who goes in and out and if anyone makes a move, well, I know both of you are more than capable of handling it.

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

That makes sense. Does he know we're thinking about it?

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

No, but Fear does. I figured the less people who knew about it the better, but strategy is really your thing. If you think Hope should know?

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

I'm not sure. Would he be able to sense someone there? Would that just make him more paranoid? I'd be invisible, not undetectable.

Are you talking about that strange post from the other day?

I don't agree that murder is the answer here but... why do we want to help either of them? Aren't the gods the ones responsible for dragging us here?

Re: [Video -- Private forever]

[sonofacesius]

That's the post, yeah.

The gods say they don't know how to work the Door actually, that it's seperate from them. That being said, they're not real inclined to work hard on the matter since they're benefiting from it.

But Hope is the one who keeps everyone alive and fed, so, it's in our interests to keep him alive.

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

I'm honestly not sure. I suppose we could tell him.

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

It's probably a good idea. So at least he knows we aren't there to hurt him.

[hasadoctorsnote]

[It still sounds questionable to him but hey, how is that any different from back home. Their gods do questionable things all the time.]

If you think it's the best way to go. [He'll go with Will's judgement on this one. Being alive so they can get home - yeah, it's unnatural, but... getting home is more important, and being fed too.] What do you want me to do?

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

Okay, I can swing by and tell him.Unless you'd rather?

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

I don't mind. But it was your idea.

[sonofacesius]

[Yeah Will isn't sure if the gods are telling the truth on that but he has to give them kudos for admitting that even if they are, they don't really want too. At least they're not lying?]

It's definitely better than letting Hope die. These Null aren't going to just let us go when they're done with the gods.

You can still do the son of Hades thing right and wrap yourself in darkness? Just watch. See who is coming in and out and if you see someone making a move, well, I think you've probably got it handled.

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

Well either way. If you want to meet him and get a feel for it, go ahead. Otherwise, I can do it.

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

How hard can it be? It's not like I've never talked to a god before.

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

Not hard at all. I just went into his temple and started talking. He appeared. So I continued.

He doesn't kill either.

Or turn people into flower pots.

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

That's good to know. I'd hate to be a fern for the rest of my life.

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

Me too. Or a dolphin.

He seemed surprised when I thanked him for that.

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

Great, you probably gave him ideas.

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

[Will laughed at that.]

You know, I actually don't think so.

You'll see. He's....different.

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

Different how?

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

Like.....actually nice.

And not in a self centered, conniving sort of way.

[hasadoctorsnote]

Of course I can.

Is Hope always there?

Re: [Video | Private]

[yearrounder]

That's a miracle.

Re: [Video | Private]

[sonofacesius]

Yeah. It is.

Problem is, I'm also not sure he's willing or able to defend himself. I'm....not sure.

He won't kill. I think that might include the Null too.

[So at best they had a situation like Aphrodite where Hope could be 'helpful' just not as helpful some of the others. At worst.......]
