World of Gods (IC)

[Quavv]

"No further details are needed on the situation," said Athanatos, "Gaisa went rouge, I defeated her to avoid catastrophe. End of story. I worked with Erebus to repair the damage to the barrier. Everything is fine now."

[Jerno]

“Ok if ya say so Athanatos, so what’s the next thing on the agenda other than the breach and galactic colonization” asked Carstol. Gonz pondered he didn’t think it was the end of the story he really felt uneasy about it actually and he didn’t know why, he thought it was strange, and he tried to get it back in the netherworld of his mind.

[Quavv]

“The final order of business relates to the previous one,” he said, “Gaisa was traveling back and forth between Earth and Unera before she was caught. Because of this, I have decided all travel to The Mortal World will now be monitored. Angels will stand guard at the dimensional gates of your domains. This will not be to restrict your travel, just monitor it.”

[Democratic Republic of Eiria]

Juras Winced. Well, This could pose a problem. He thought. He stared at Athanatos, trying to get a feel of his emotions. What is he hiding? And why would transit need to be monitored if Gaisa Is dead? Does she have followers?

[Jerno]

Both Carstol and Gonz were not happy about that. Carstol knew that every decision could change the course of history, could alter fate, and he wondered if Athanatos was hiding something, he looked skeptically at his brother Gonz who responded with the same expression, while Gonz was not happy there was a reason he wondered if there was a bane of the Gods, he wondered many things, as for one is Did she have followers? Also why was traveling back and forth from Earth and Unera a problem, and What was she doing on Earth? And why did she make a breach into the unknown parts of the cosmos which was his biggest question, but for now both brothers stayed quiet, both waiting for the other Gods response to the situation.

Dhemtar, Archon of Fundamental Space

Dhemtar thought for a bit, listening intently on the other's conversation about possible energy sources. He was about to speak before Athanatos dropped the news about Gaisa's death, shocking him, literally. Why would Gaisa have done this? Transit had to be monitored between the Mortal Realm and the Spiritual World now? The second part didn't make sense for Dhemtar, after all, every Deity in their right and sane mind would never allow a breach from Beyond Unera. There was little they actually knew about the wall between Beyond Unera and the Uneran continent. Athanatos was hiding something, something that would be revealed at a later date but something that he wanted to know now. What of Gaisa's followers? Were they involved? Of course, they had to be. However, Mortals are unable to enter the spiritual world. But then it hit Dhemtar, what if they had found a way to breach the Spiritual World?

No, no no no... how would they have done it?

He decided that their knowledge of Beyond Unera was unforgivable, and wished to mount an expedition to the location of the breach to try and study it. However, the Human Advancement would have to come first. He decided to remain quiet in his thoughts.

"Okay, what will be needed for us to pass through? Are we introducing passports like the humans" Thaetol made a joke, which was not common for the God of Death, happening only if someone died a death worthy of Darwin Award, I'll spare the details, but somehow it involves a broomstick, anyway Thaetol than stayed silent.

[Democratic Republic of Eiria]

Juras sighed. "Metal Detectors, airport security, passports, the whole package, probably. Probably a strip search as well, just for extra humiliation. Plus, given by the emotions of the room, none of us like these new measures, with all due respect". He glanced at Athanatos, and accidentally dropped his notebook, revealing a sketch of a handsome young man with dark hair and a muscular frame on a page. "Whoops, sorry". He picked up the book and returned to his seat.

[Jerno]

Gonz cracked a smile when Juras dropped his notebook, whatever happened he felt the tension decrease. Carstol smiled at the sight. He didn’t know Juras drew so well, he thought it was cool. It was an awkward silence so he spoke up. “ Yeah no offense Athanatos no one really likes that, if I’m right no one here is at least. Ya know I’m the Deva of Agriculture, and both planets have Agriculture which is where I help out both Earth and Unera, wouldn’t it be easier to swear loyalty to the council as a whole and whatever Titan is above said Deva and any suspicious activity the Titan or Deva would have to defend herself or himself in the Council. And if I may ask in which I think everyone here is wondering, what is beyond Unera?

[Ah-eh-ioh-uh]

Minerva agreed with certain ideas put forth during the meeting as this was exactly the type of thing she had in mind. She did not agree that simply sending humans into space would cure the world of all the liars and closed minded on the globe. She had no intentions of restraining her crusade so she agreed with Juras and others that progress on the colonial front needed to be made separately from these corrupt governments and societies.

She believed what they needed were breakaway societies. Openminded and logical people who would create societies among the stars without things like "alternative facts" or scapegoat political agendas. She just needed to create large enough societal change within the world superpowers to make room for the colonial startup projects. Minerva was glad that she would have Juras's and Carston's support on this front, even for a goddess, waging holy war on the mortal powers of the globe had it's taxing elements and knowing she wouldn't have to take the burden alone was a relief.

Minerva listened to the room speak the deceased deity's death and she too had her share of questions. Just how was it known that the goddess was the responsible party if they were unclear as to her motives? Why was it supposedly so clear that she was an enemy of Unera? Minerva was a little on edge at the idea that this deity was dead and she had not been made privy to the details about a conflict involving her home city in Unera and its patron deity. Minerva thought all of this was happening far too fast and she never got a chance to get a word in as everybody seemed to be hurting with questions of their own. She simply listened to the room talk in silence. Which might just be the wisest course of action any way.

Minerva was not blind and had noticed suspicious activity as of late. Athanatos had gotten rather secretive as of late and Minerva had noticed a bit of hubbub among the angels around that time. Whispers, weaponry, people looking like they preparing for battle. But she hadn't been able to piece everything together to answer all the questions she had about it all and she couldn't investigate too througoghly as Athanatos clearly wanted this to be secret even from her. Athanatos had been quite distant and gruff with her as of late and she did not like this power play he seemed to be making. She was visibly upset but her true thought patterns remained her own. She had been rather on edge as of late, looking out for trouble around every corner. She didn't like this secretiveness at all. She didn't like this one bit.

Minerva did not dare to say anything though. She knew she might just be in the most danger out of all of them. Maybe Athanatos thought she might know something and considered her a threat. Maybe he thought her ideals and nature were too much of a wildcard and thought it not worth the risk of having Minerva raise force against him. If Athanatos thought one goddess needed to go the way of disco music, who is to say he won't feel the same about another if he felt threatened.

Minerva used her mind link to her broomstick to get it ready to come and get her. It swooped down from the sky and made its way though hidden passageways through the city, coming closer towards her in secret. She wanted no one to know what she planned or try to stop those plans when she brought them into motion. She dared not even glance any of the ones whom she planned to bring into the fold of these plans. She just stayed silent and listened to the room, brewing a secret plan in her head that only Minerva knew the ingredients of....

OOC: BUBBLE BUBBLE, TOIL AND TROUBLE!

[Quavv]

“The monitoring is strictly that: monitoring,” said Athanatos, “We will not restrict travel. I simply want to be aware of which world a god is in at any given time should I need to know. It's merely a safety precaution considering some of the things Gaisa was doing. I don't expect that from any of you but I also didn't expect it from her. So we can't just assume that another God won't go rouge. Now if you all are finished with all your questions, this meeting is adjourned."

Abyss stood next to Dhemtar, listening to everything Athanatos said. Like many of the other gods, he wasn't satisfied. Something smelled fishy. "Perhaps we should leave now," he said quietly to Dhemtar, "Continuing to question him at this meeting won't solve anything. But perhaps some investigating will."

[Democratic Republic of Eiria]

Juras silently sketched his art, trying to draw by memory. He had wanted to go back to the mortal world after this meeting, but Athanatos would probably ask questions, and he seemed to be hiding something significant, so he has to stay in Unera. He turned to the page with the sketch of the handsome man. I'll be back to see you soon, he promised.

[Rykil]

Dhemtar, Archon of Fundamental Space

Dhemtar noted Abyss's suggestion, quietly whispering without turning his head that much. Making sure to appear as if he was staring on into the distance in thought.

"Head back to Obelora and collapse one of the five Obelisks holding up the Cosmic Unera, damage control and repairs will serve as a distraction for a few plans of mine. Hurry and be discrete about this. We should launch our own investigation."

He went silent and continued staring off into the distance, making sure to strengthen the illusion by actually thinking about the connection between Gaisa and the breach. Gaisa's motives continued to elude him and the possibility of mortals entering the spiritual world continued to spin in his head. In fact, he went a bit deep in the illusion and actually started to get a bit distanced from reality. Conjuring two asteroids from one of his hands each he made a visual of his thoughts. One asteroid was molded into a ring to represent Beyond Unera, the second one molded into the shape of Unera itself. His took a chunk off of the Unera to both fix it's shape a little and to use as a representation of Gaisa. The Gaisa bit moved to the breach and punched through, staying in the Beyond Unera for a few moments before returning. Some dust particles followed to represent demons. Two clouds of dust particles collided to represent divine legions combating the demons while the Gaisa bit went under Unera to represent her being in the mortal realm. After the dust clouds were finished Gaisa bobbed up and down before being corroded into nothing by a larger bit, Athanatos, and a dust cloud, the Angels. His molding and thinking continued on into various scenes and timelines.

[Jerno]

Carstol shrugged and then stood up his body morphed into an antelope, suddenly tall grass grew and changed as if the Gods were on the North American plains, a shook of thunder rattled the roof and suddenly a door sprung out of nowhere and behind Carstol came a herd of 500 healthy mammals Carstol took the lead in the herd and Gonz morphed into an Eagle in which they both headed into the door, once the last animal went through the grass died leaving a bare floor and the door disappeared as well, both Carstol and Gonz had left to their respective areas in the pantheon they resided in

[Democratic Republic of Eiria]

Juras Stood. "I must go prepare for the Lunar Eclipse festival. You all are invited! It's in three days!". With that, he dissolved into water. Instead of heading to Geminus, he headed to Obelora. He must meet with Dhemtar and Abyss, and discuss what happened at the meeting.

[Jerno]

Gonz flew quietly over Geminus the meeting had been interesting, and he felt like something was very wrong. He felt that Athanatos was hiding something, it was also clear that the rest of the Gods did not like how the meeting had turned out. He knew he didn’t like it, and what was that about Gaisa as well he had a lot of questions and few little answers, so he went to consult with someone, who might know ... wait I should probably consult two people. That’s it. I’ll talk to her first, and then I’ll talk to him. Meanwhile Carstol sat on a rock, he wanted to head over to Earth, but with Athanatos and Gaisa getting killed he decided to wait, he wondered why was Athanatos so secretive during the meeting which had in his opinion a total waste of time other than the Galactic Colonization which was pretty interesting. Carstol must have had the same thoughts as Juras, he went to talk with the Titan Dhemtar in which he quickly opened a door and disappeared.

[Houyhnhnm Cities]

"Athanatos is definitely not telling us everything" Quiraji tought, that much was clear. However, he had more important things to do that worrying about some new controls. It's not like he traveled often to Earth anyway. Altough, considering what he had in mind, he would probably have to pay mortals a visit pretty soon. He released a small mosquito from his mist, a mosquito that started buzzing near Minerva's ears in morse code. He knew she would be able to understand it, while the other gods probably would not even notice. The message was short and clear. "Follow me after the meeting. I need to talk."

[Ah-eh-ioh-uh]

Minerva was pouring over her plans in her mind when she heard this annoying buzzing sound in one of her ears. Mosquitos didn't usually bother her that much as she was a goddess so why should she fear them? But here things were different. Quarji was known to use mosquitos to spread diseases and it was possible he may have cooked up something powerful enough to harm her over the centuries. She tensed up slightly, ready to swat it away with a hand or something but it did not seem to want to poke her with its proboscis. It instead buzzed in the air near her ear in what seemed almost a calculated sequence of buzzes.

Wait. It was more than just buzzing. It was morse. A message from Quarji. Telling her to follow him after the meeting. Huh. Clever plague master that one. She relaxed a tad bit but made no sign to anyone that she even knew the mosquito was there. She simply pretended to still be deep in thought about what she was mulling over, all the while secretly watching Quarji to see where he went.

She already had ideas about plans that involved the nature domain as it were. It would seem the nature domain was making the first move here so she would see what becomes of it. Almost as if they mirrored the atmosphere in Olympia, the letters of welcome she had wrote in the air had faded from the sky. Just as well too. Olympia didn't seem all that welcoming to her right now and even though she lived here in this city even she got the feeling she too was wearing out her welcome.

[Jerno]

The Eagle flew high soaring through the sky, the Eagle was flying toward Mt Olimpia, the Eagle soon landed on a high window of the Meeting that had happened minutes before. Inside were Quiraji and Minerva, the Eagle sitting there was Gonz, whether the two Gods notice him or if they knew it was him he didn’t know. He also didn’t know what they were talking about. Five minutes later a Falcon landed beside the Eagle, it looked that both birds knew each other, in which they did the Falcon was Carstol. It looked like he also wanted to talk to both Gods as well.

[Quavv]

Dhemtar, Archon of Fundamental Space

Dhemtar noted Abyss's suggestion, quietly whispering without turning his head that much. Making sure to appear as if he was staring on into the distance in thought.

"Head back to Obelora and collapse one of the five Obelisks holding up the Cosmic Unera, damage control and repairs will serve as a distraction for a few plans of mine. Hurry and be discrete about this. We should launch our own investigation."

He went silent and continued staring off into the distance, making sure to strengthen the illusion by actually thinking about the connection between Gaisa and the breach. Gaisa's motives continued to elude him and the possibility of mortals entering the spiritual world continued to spin in his head. In fact, he went a bit deep in the illusion and actually started to get a bit distanced from reality. Conjuring two asteroids from one of his hands each he made a visual of his thoughts.

His took a chunk off of the Unera to both fix it's shape a little and to use as a representation of Gaisa. The Gaisa bit moved to the breach and punched through, staying in the Beyond Unera for a few moments before returning. Some dust particles followed to represent demons. Two clouds of dust particles collided to represent divine legions combating the demons while the Gaisa bit went under Unera to represent her being in the mortal realm. After the dust clouds were finished Gaisa bobbed up and down before being corroded into nothing by a larger bit, Athanatos, and a dust cloud, the Angels. His molding and thinking continued on into various scenes and timelines.

Abyss
"As you wish," replied Abyss as he opened a portal and stepped through.

Athanatos
Athanatos got the vibe that many of the gods left the meeting very dissatisfied and strongly desired more information. "What I said didn't seem to quell their curiosity at all," he thought to himself, "I didn't want to just not mention it, but I'm almost wondering if I would have been better off doing just that. No matter, what's done is done. Monitoring the gates is the best I can do for now."

[Democratic Republic of Eiria]

Juras watched from the shadow of a building as Abyss appeared and collapsed a pillar. Clever, he thought. A good excuse. I bet Dhemtar will follow soon. He opened one of his notebooks. At the top of the page was written "The Gaisa File". The page was sparsely filled, but with luck, it would soon be filled.

[Rykil]

Dhemtar, Archon of Fundamental Space

Upon Abyss's exit, Dhemtar soon dissipated the meteor visualizations and spun his own wormhole, taking a slight glance towards Athanatos before stepping forward. Upon entering unto the walkways of Obelora he spotted the collapsed Obelisk. That Obelisk was among the five which split from the top of the base pillar, a pillar larger than all others. The five obelisks held up the Cosmic Unera itself, and if one of them collapsed it would spell peril for the Cosmic Unera. With one part of his plan in action, he simply needed to appear for damage control before he could execute part two. He spun a second wormhole at the site of the Obelisk's fall, ordering squads of Teloculists to gather evacuate civilians and rescue any survivors. Light bending to ease their sight ensued, allowing them to better perform their duty amongst the dust clouds rung up by the collapse. He could be seen manifesting a meteor to stand upon and bark orders in easy sight of Juras.

[Democratic Republic of Eiria]

With a swirl of his hand, Juras created an Ice platform next to Dhemtar's comet so they could talk on even ground. "Clever idea, I must admit, Collapsing a pillar. The perfect cover". He glanced down at the ground. "Need any help?".

[Houyhnhnm Cities]

I'm happy you decided to stay Minerva. i wanted to talk to you about your...projects for the world' superpowers. See, i too have an interest in... Quiraji stopped when he noticed an eagle and a falcon, watching him prom the windows. He knew those were not normal birds. So he raised his head and said This is a private conversation. If there is anything you want to share to us than speak your mind, otherwise, please respect our privacy. He said drily to the two birds.

[Jerno]

“Ah Quiraji glad you noticed.” us spoke Carstol in his Falcon form “well we also have plans for the worlds superpowers and we know you do to... we have business with Minerva but it could also include you as well, Quiraji.” Gonz spoke up we have decided to help Minerva’s holy crusade. It’s a worthy cause we believe if we want humanity in the far cosmos and we believe that you Quiraji along with Minerva would be of great help.
