[ txt ] Hey idiot. Don't do anything stupid being a hero. Be safe.
[ txt: jooyeonnie ] Thanks??? For your concern??? [ txt: jooyeonnie ] I'm stuck waiting for the roads to clear and looking after a head injury, so no heroics for me unless something goes REALLY wrong. [ txt: jooyeonnie ] Right back at you, though! Are you somewhere safe?
[ txt ] hi smiley face, do give a call if you need help. I'm in downtown watching things out rn so if anything i'll call you too, okay?
[ txt: chief ] Aye aye, captain! 🫡 [ txt: chief ] I'm with Minho at the gym, treating a head injury. Just managed to arrive before the roads got too bad, so I think we'll be stuck here for a while.
[ txt: smiley face ] Theo, are you still at the gym with Minho? tell him to help gathering all people there in one place and keep them calm, tell them to try saving the phone battery as well. I have a feeling this may get worse. (sent at 5:10 pm)
[ txt: smiley face ] Are you guys still at the gym? How are everyone there? (sent at 11:15 pm)
[ txt: chief ] Yep, will do. I think there’s some hot yoga rooms that are designed to keep heat in, so we’ll hold up in one of those. [ txt: chief ] I have a portable charger in my medic kit, so I should be good! 👍 (sent at 5:12pm)
[ txt: chief ] We’re good here! Luckily there’s lots of yoga mats, towels, water and healthy snacks to help keep everyone comfortable. [ txt: chief ] You know, a gym would actually be a great place to make your base in a zombie apocalypse. [ txt: chief ] Not that this is a zombie apocalypse... But you know what I’m saying. How are things where you are? Are there really monsters out there? (sent at 11:18pm)

The flurry didn’t bother Minho that morning, only making a mental note to himself to pack an extra jacket just in case it got a bit worse. And worse it got. Emergency message aside, Minho would have been fine to wait out the storm and probably see if the station needed him to come in. But of course it didn’t have to be that easy.
A sharp cry from another gym goer was the only warning he heard before he saw another guy collapse from the Chest press. He was too far to catch him and Minho winced at the resounding thud of the other guy’s head hitting the machine next to his echoed across the gym.
“Stand back please,” He was there in an instant, calmly asking the rest of the gym goers to give the unconscious man some room. Checking for a pulse he quickly dials 911 and turns back to the onlookers. “Looks like we’re gonna be here a while folks. I suggest we all get changed to keep warm. I’ll stay with sir here.”
His calm voice and authoritative stance quickly bid them off and he waits for the paramedic to arrive, calling him over as soon as he heard him.
“Yeah, he collapsed from the chest press a little bit after the emergency message came out.” He said by way of explanation. “I wasn’t sure if I could move him.”
It was a bit of a relief to see Minho at the scene, considering Theo was fairly sure that they were going to be stuck in the gym for a while. It would be good to have another first responder there in case anything went wrong or the storm got even worse. After all, in bad situations people could panic and do really stupid things - having another clear-headed person around would be essential to keeping people calm if things got to a real state of emergency.
“Good call not moving him,” he noted when he saw the head injury, pulling out a neck brace and carefully putting it on the patient, just in case. He then took a minute to check the man’s pulse, respiration and pupillary response. “Seems like he might have just over-exerted himself and fainted, but it’s hard to tell for sure without knowing if he has any underlying conditions. It’s not uncommon for people to hit the gym a little too hard in January to try to get a head start on their New Year’s resolutions, you know? He picked a bad time to do it, with this freak storm and all.”
He sat back for a moment, pulling some supplies out of his kit. “I’ll clean up the wound and run an IV, and I’ll reassess once he wakes up. I don’t think we’re going to be able to transport him to the hospital until the snow lets up, though; the roads and visibility are pretty bad out there.”
just in time;
open starter for the white out event!
It was already snowing rather heavily when the ambulance pulled up on scene - the snow already deep enough that Autumn had to hop through it like a rabbit and Theo could feel it seeping into the tops of his boots as he jumped out of the vehicle and trudged toward the building. The weather conditions were worrying, but he tried to put that out of his mind so that he could focus on the matter at hand.
“Hello? Theo Bang, paramedic with the MPFD. We got a call about an injury?” He called as he made his way inside, looking around carefully in case the caller had fallen out of sight or maybe fainted. He had not gotten much information from the dispatcher, so he felt a little off-his-game. He was just starting to worry if the call had somehow been a prank when he heard a voice and rushed over to the caller, quickly opening up his medic bag and rifling through it as Autumn bounded over to sit happily beside the patient.
“So, what happened here? Don’t worry, okay? We’ll get you fixed up in no time.”
unexpected reunion;
mpxhathor:
Excitedly - but also a bit nervously - Hathor reaches into her bag and shoves the messy paper in there and pulls out another envelope. A few hairs had fallen from her perfectly pinned hair to frame her face as she looked back at the young man before her. She had to say, if there is one thing in this world she did right, it was make beautiful children. Pride flared in her heart as well as she took in his uniform.
“I don’t want to interrupt your day too much darling, first responder and all that, I’ve just gotten settled and wanted to reach out to you. I thought greeting you in public would be less startling than arriving at your front door… so here I am.”
She smiled at him then, gesturing slightly with her hands as if to say ‘ta da!’ as she finished. Only after a brief pause did she realize she’d impolitely forgotten to introduce herself. The goddess reached out with a poised hand to pass the envelope to him. It was simple white with a bit of gold filigree in the corners and his name written in beautiful purple calligraphy in the center.
“I’m Hathor, your mother. And that is a formal invitation to have dinner with me whenever you would like to talk. I’m sure you have many questions so, just call me on the number I listed and we can have a meal and get to know one another… only if you’d like to though.” Now she was just rambling…
Theo only grew more perplexed as she spoke, unsure of why this woman would have a reason to reach out to him in the first place. Was he about to be served with a subpoena? Was she from the city council? His brain was coming up with all kinds of wild theories, but he was sure none of them were right. And he really wasn’t prepared for the actual answer.
“Oh-” It came out in a small gasp, almost like he’d just been punched in the gut. He sort of felt like that was what had actually happened. He had never really let himself imagine what it would be like if his mythical mother showed up on the island, but a formal dinner invitation certainly wouldn’t have been something he would have expected or imagined. It felt very Princess Diaries. And certainly very foreign to his idea of how family members were supposed to interact.
“Is... now good? For dinner? Like right now?” His shift was basically done, and the next on-call paramedic had already arrived, so he figured that maybe this was the best time. He wasn’t sure that he would have the nerve to call and make dinner plans if she left now. It would be a lie to say that he did not feel oddly intimidated by this woman, despite her being his birth mother - or maybe it was not so odd, since she was a goddess. She was tiny, but somehow he felt very small standing in front of her.
“If you’re not busy, I mean. You’re probably busy-”
unexpected reunion;
@mpxhathor | continued from [ here ]
It had been a pretty quiet day at the fire station, so Theo had busied himself making sure that the ambulance was thoroughly cleaned and fully stocked for the next shift, perhaps naively hoping that there wouldn’t be an emergency call at the last minute. So far, so good, though, and he did not have very long until his shift was over.
He had just hopped out of the back of the ambulance to grab some extra gauze when he paused, surprised to see a rather elegant woman hovering by the main door. It was all the more surprising, though, when he asked why she was there and she said that she was looking for him. He had just assumed that she was lost or seeking help.
“Oh, well, you found him,” he confirmed, a friendly smile spreading across his face. Maybe she was an administrator or something like that - she did seem kind of familiar, somehow, although he couldn’t place her. “So, what can I do for you?”
He is pure husband material...
Pretty Damsel
Open Starter - Any muse that can kick butt!
Willa knew that the red light district was not the best place to be at night. Though, it had never frightened her before. She just did as she was taught. Be confident. Walk fast. Do not make eye contact. It was rather simple to follow, but it sure was not foolproof, especially as the evening would show her. So, just as she nearly crossed into safer territory, two large, burly men stood in her path, reeking of alcohol with trouble written into the lines on their face.
The demigoddess gave them the time to make their demands. Nothing kind or nice fell from their lips, but by now, Willa couldn’t even fake some sign of disgust. Rage flickered in her gaze, and it was only the entrance of a new voice that managed to keep her from breaking the soft, delicate cover that she worked hard to create in her work at Babylon.
As the person came to her side, she looked over at them. “Help!”
Theo was, admittedly, a little curious about the Red Light District. He had heard whispers about it, but he couldn’t really believe much of it to be true. The island was run by a council of gods, wasn’t it? So, surely they would have the power to stop unsavoury business from getting a foothold on the island... But still, after completing his last emergency call of the night, he had the ambulance driver drop him in the Red Light District. He figured he would just check it out as he walked home.
He certainly hadn’t been expecting or looking for any trouble. But he found it. He had been strolling along without seeing anything noteworthy for maybe ten minutes, and he knew he must have been getting close to the park. That was when he heard raised, slurred voices - and when he turned a corner, his eyes landed on the men those voices belonged to and the small girl they seemed to be harassing.
“Is there a problem here?” He called out, trying to make his voice sound stern and authoritative. It was second nature to saunter forward and step in front of Willa, putting himself between her and any possible harm. Hathor’s influence probably made him a little too reckless, in that way. “Look, guys, she’s clearly not interested. Just go home and sleep this off before you do something you regret.”
Professional Tip
Open Starter - Any muse that games!
Jooyeon’s computer had been acting sluggish lately, and he had a few parts on the way to resolve the malfunctioning device. For the time being, he had settled himself to one of the more popular gaming cafe’s so that he might have a chance to be able to keep up with his games. Jooyeon, even though he no longer played with an e-sports squad, still greatly cared about his title as Number 1, D.va. To do such, it required a dedication to the game, from practice to hours played.
Having given his hands a break, he was leaned back in his chair. Turning his head, he lazily watched the person beside him, though it did not take long for his interest to be peaked. Even with Overwatch 2 being a well-known game, newer updates to the structure of the game made it very unpopular to many, so he thrilled to see another playing. Yet, he immediately spotted a few troubles in the other’s gameplay.
Clearing his throat, he speaks enough so they can hear. “Playing with randos? Seems like there is a lot of killing and little energy on the payload.”
Theo did not really game much - at least compared to some people, anyway. He tried to limit his screen time and diversify his hobbies so that he was not sitting in front of a screen during all of his spare time. He went to the gym, took pottery and other crafty classes from time to time, tried to cook from scratch as much as he could... But he did like video games. Even if he wasn’t very good at a lot of them. And even if trying to load anything beyond a pixel RPG made his laptop sound like it was preparing to launch into space.
All that in mind, when his friend Jooyeon showed him a nice gaming cafe on the island, he was rather delighted. Getting out of the house to use a high-end computer to get a few hours of gaming in seemed like a good way to balance a potentially not-so-healthy hobby with his other ones. So, he had settled in at a computer next to Jooyeon with the aim of trying out Overwatch 2 for the first time. He had played the original game a few times with some friends in university, but he was hardly an expert with it - or any FPS games, for that matter. He mostly just stumbled through it and hoped for the best. After all, he just played to have fun, so he did not care if he died or lost.
He had actually thought he was doing pretty well, until his friend suddenly spoke up. “Huh?” Was his knee-jerk response, although he tried not to let himself get too distracted by the comment. But, he knew that Jooyeon had been some kind of pro gamer, so he definitely knew what he was talking about. “Isn’t fighting the other team... the point?”
Meet Autumn, Theo’s loyal labradoodle pup! Picked out from the shelter with the help of @mploren, she is incredibly sweet, friendly, and well-trained. She almost always accompanies Theo to work so that she can help comfort distressed patients in transit to the hospital.

Theo had known that he wanted to get a dog when he arrived in Mount Phoenix. He had wanted one for a while, and now seemed like the right time. After all, he did not know a lot of people on the island, so it would be nice to have someone to help keep him company. But, he was a little hesitant about it. He had -perhaps slightly unrealistic- hopes that he could get a pup that could be trained well enough to come to work with him. After all, firehouses sometimes had dogs, right? And he was technically based at the firehouse, even if he split his time between there and the hospital...
The solution to his dilemma came in the form of an old face. When he spotted Loren walking down the street toward him, he nearly yelled the man’s name, a big grin spreading across his face. It had been a while since he last saw the other male, but from their time helping out with an adoption event in Seoul, he remembered that Loren was really good with dogs. Scarily good with them. Which was maybe part of the reason he was on a demigod island.
“Loren, dude, I’m so happy to see you! I have an emergency and I really need your help!”

Davina had not had the chance to see Hexed perform. She had listened to their new album religiously after one of her coworkers introduced her to the group, and she had stopped by the performing arts center on multiple occasions to buy some of their older albums and some merch. She had never had a chance to be a fan of anyone but Yuna, and so, she glowed in the excitement of seeing her group.
However, she was immediately disappointed when she could barely see her beloved group. She was far too short while everyone else was far too tall. It did not help to stand on the tips of her toes, and the pout on her lips was noticeable, clearly to the person in front of her.
Davina looked up at Theo. A warm grin pulled on her lips. He was incredibly sweet to even notice her hardship, and she took a step closer to him to listen to his words. All of the weirdness that came with the whole scenario became lost to the demigoddess so ready to see her favorite group. “Oh, goodness!: She exclaims, reaching forward with both hands to tug gently onto his wrist. “Would you really? Are you one one of those super-strength demigods? I’d hate to weigh you down.”
Theo felt rather warm and fuzzy, seeing the way Davina lit up at his suggestion. In his opinion, there was no better feeling than the one that came with helping someone or cheering them up - or, in this case, seemingly both. If he could do such a small thing to help make her night better, then of course he was going to do it.
He looked Davina over for a moment, an amused smile tugging at his lips. “I don’t think I have super strength, but... I mean, I probably lift more than double your weight at the gym, so I think I’ll be fine,” he noted, shrugging one shoulder. He was a little worried that she would think he was bragging, but he also didn’t want her to worry or think she was inconveniencing him. She looked light as a feather, honestly, so he wasn’t at all concerned.
“It’d be no trouble at all, really! I’d hate for you to not be able to see the performance.” And, not wanting to waste any more time, he crouched down, gesturing for her to climb onto his shoulders. “Quick, you don’t want to miss any more of the show!”

Theo had been completely unaware that Mount Phoenix was apparently home to a cool rock band, so he was quite pleasantly surprised when HEXED took the stage at the Hallow’s Eve Ball. The music was great and the crowd’s excitement infectious. He made a mental note to go home and look up the band - their stuff was maybe a little hardcore for him, since he tended to prefer soothing ballads or uplifting pop, but they may have made a fan out of him anyway.
Early in the performance, his elbow brushed against a person behind him and he turned to apologize, only to find a rather small girl who seemed to be having trouble seeing the stage. “Hey,” he raised his voice to be heard over the music, tapping Davina lightly on the shoulder. “Do you want a boost? I bet you could see everything if you sat on my shoulders!”
Maybe it was a bit of a weird offer, since they were strangers, but he just wanted to make sure she didn’t miss the show - and it would be a lot easier than if she tried to push and shove her way to the front of the crowd.
Theo Bang as Captain Hook from Once Upon a Time
Theo may have only arrived on the island a few days before the Hallow's Eve Ball, but luckily he already had a Halloween costume ready to go! He will be swashbuckling around the ballroom all evening, admiring the costumes and chatting to anyone he gets a good vibe from.
