Speed is #1

Astrid looked down at his shoes and silently gasped when she saw his glowing, feathered winged shoes. She’d only seen it once, but have never seen the person ever again. “It is, isn’t it?’ she agreed with a small nod. “Yeah, I did. She kept talking about some god that brought her light and happiness, and she had some flying shoes on her feet. I don’t know where she is now, but I can picture her flying around with those shoes.”

Interesting. Another god? Could there be others too? He placed a hand on his hip. “You seem to attract gods. Maybe I should keep you around for a bit until I figure out who that person you met was.” He gave her a little boop on the nose. “How about this. I’ll give you a shiny, pretty necklace with some of my luck, you tell me all you know about this place? Deal?”

Paige shook her head and said, “Hermes? Like the god Hermes?” She nodded at his vague description but decided not to push it for once. “My next step? I haven’t thought that far ahead. I know that I woke up in a hotel and plan to just stay there if I can. Where did you wake up?” Paige was slightly alarmed by how he kept saying this was a punishment and for what? What did he do? “Um, I think it’s a vacation. I hope it’s a vacation.”

Hermes could tell this world existed around a monetary value called credits. He’d have to collect some if he wanted a place to live permanently until he figured out what was happening. He looked at her, then at the many pieces of papers. “Wanna make a lot of money quick?” he asked?, not looking at her yet.

Cassidy didn’t want to believe that he’d been talking to a god but when the other mentioned his name. Now it actually made sense as to how he’d been able to get the keys and fingerprints. It was surprising but at the same time it was also pretty awesome. “Hermes? Ya… ya ain’t pulling my leg are ya?” Cassidy had met angels, a supernatural cowboy who was hell-bent on killing his preacher friend and God himself but he’d never expected to cross paths with a Greek god. He took a breath and glanced at the keys for a moment. “Sorry, I’m not used to working with Gods. Normally I do shite like this with humans or on occasion other… other vampires.”

Hermes stood, crossed armed and a cool, wearing athletic track wear and long hair. He looked the man up and down. This world has everything. “S’ok.” he shrugged. “Vampire?” Hermes said with interest. “I wonder what blood tastes like here. Find the right alien and it taste’s like wine.” He chuckled. Hermes began to nonchalantly walk to the ship and pressed a random button. The ship swung open, and he whistled his way into the machine, even stopping to do a jig before sneaking in.

Paige had run into several people who did not remember how they got here. “Deliveries? What kind of deliveries?” Paige looked at him curious about what he did. She raised her eyebrow as he poked her. “Excuse me. Stranger danger.” She laughed. “I’m kidding. I’m definitely real though.”

Petrichor leaned against the window, continuing to survey the city. “I’m Hermes, You’ll have to excuse me.” He sighed. This was a terrible vacation, if it was one. “My deliveries are my job, that’s all.” Hermes was a God he decided not to tell the new girl his business. Bad for reputation What’s your next step, I’m personally going to find a place to stay for cheap.” He eyed a bus station. He walked over to a post, littered with notes. He began picking at the papers. He looked back at the girl. “This place will either be a punishment or vacation,”

“Does that mean that I’ve finally met my match? The others can’t seem to hold their liquor so I hope ya ain’t just saying that to impress me.” Cassidy remarked before taking a step back to watch the stranger. He wasn’t expecting him to actually be able to actually be successful on his end. So when he returned there was a shocked expression on the vampire’s face when he heard that the other had managed to steal the keys to the ship. “Well fuck… I didn’t expect ya to think of that but nice job. Ya remind me of someone from my past but I’m certain that we haven’t met before.” He nodded slightly before turning to the ship without the slightest hint of hesitation. “Are ya a member of the O'Hare family by any chance?” He questioned with a curious expression.

As Hermes swung the keys around his finger, he leaned against the ship, arms crossed. He loved showing off with the right actions. But he raised an eyebrow when the man asked who he was. Hermes gestured with an over exageratted flair to his general glowing godly aura. He then motioned to his winged shoes and then flipped his long hair.. “O’Hare? Um no.” He then pointed to himself, and slowly said his name. “Heeerrrmmmeeess. Now you try. Hermes.” Had the mortals forgotten the gods so quickly?

Cassidy was a little surprised as he heard the other speaking. He’d half expected to be yelled at so when the other said that he could see where he was coming from he wasn’t sure how to respond. However when the other suggested that they steal the ship he nodded slightly and smiled softly. “I thought I was about to get in trouble but now I’m glad I was wrong. Ya think we can steal this without getting caught?” He questioned with a raised brow. Normally he’d prefer to do crimes by himself or with his friends but perhaps it would be a good idea to branch out. “Well if we can pull it off my offer for drinks will still stand.

Finally, something was happening on this incorrigible planet. Sure, seeing aliens with four breasts had been fun, or tricking a tiny creature out of its cup of soup was also hilarious, but this was certain to be fun. “Just to warn you, this alcohol is like a sip of water to me. Get your purse ready.”  He surveyed his surroundings, then spotted the owner of the ship. “Watch and learn, Lanky little Thief. The master is at work.” Hermes confidently walked up to the owner of the ride and smiled. After a few short words, a handshake, and a pat on the back, Hermes returned. “I stole his keys.” He said, with just a hint of smugness. “And suppose the ship is started by fingerprint.. ta-da!” Hermes showed his own hand, with some sticky paper attached. “I’ve got that too.” He motioned to the ship. “Be a nimble little thief.” He smiled.

“ WHO IS ZUES? ” in spite of her unfamiliar surroundings, myrcella projected the same air of calm she always had whilst speaking up out of curiosity. “ not a FRIEND, i imagine? it would be a strange thing indeed to be punished by being sent to a strange planet by a friend. ”

“Well... that’s a difficult answer. Zeus is.. my boss? The king? An asshole? All of the above. And you don’t know the half of it. Zeus burnt down a whole half of a country because Demeter wouldn’t hide his girlfriend from his wife so... complicated guy. Sending me to a stupid planet with half my powers is not beneath him, the dick.”

Astrid let out a small cry and jumped when he popped up behind her. She looked at him as if he lost some part of his darn mind. “Your shoes make you fly?” she asked, confused. She heard of such things before, but never seen it up close. “I heard about that. Even had someone with flying shoes once, but I don’t know what happened to them.” 

Hermes walked around the bench and lifted one foot to present his sneakers, which had glowing, feathered wings attached to the ankles. The wings attached to his elevated foot spread out with pride. Hermes did a little hop, and hovered in the air, before landing softly. “The gravity here is strange, so my shoes don’t carry me as high as usual. You knew someone else with flying shoes? Impossible.”

Paige looked up at him. “I’m aware I just got distracted by all the thingsgoing on.” She pointed up at the ships and everything. She stood back up on her feet. Paige fixed her shirt that was bunched up. “I’m definitely lost. I tried to eat something that looked like fruit but did not taste like it. I hope there is real food here to eat.” She watched as a big ship went by. “Do you know how you got here?”

Hermes placed one hand on his hip, the other holding his chin as he looked about, and at the buzzing ships outside. Strange creatures littering the streets. He shook his head regretfully. “No.. I just remember doing my usual deliveries, and bam, I was in bed in a hotel. I figured it could be an illusion, or I just got too drunk... But..” He eyed the girl and poked her in the side. “You and everything else seems very real.”

This had been fun and all, but Hermes wanted bathe in the Olympic waters, and visit Apollo, Persephone and Artemis. He was also probably behind on deliveries. “Okay Zues, very funny! But I’m coming back now.” He stood from the fountain he’d been sitting on and summoned his staff. It had been taken from him once, and he’d never relinquish it again. Caduceus appeared in his hands, glowing bright golden. His birthright of Godliness. He wiped his winged sneakers into the ground, and tried to summon a portal into Olympus.

 He expected it to be there, so when he leaped, Hermes was suprised to slam his face into the ground. “Ow...” he groaned. Hermes stood and stomped his foot, and threw down his staff, of course bending to pick it up immedietly. “These damn mortals! I’m so sick of this tacky and filthy place!” He screamed to the skies that were once his to run in. Apparently, someone had been watching his spectacle of a godly tantrum. “What??”

“Okay seriously…” Astrid mumbled as she stared at the ships flying all over the place. She was nibbling on the colo claw fish and sipping on an non-alcoholic jawa juice while sitting on a bench that she could find. Her brothers went out to do more exploring, but she decided to just have one relaxing day without hearing the ‘Atty’ nickname or her elder brothers teasing her. “How can they fly without flapping the wings? Like, they need to flap to fly! Flapping, bloody wings…is it that hard to do?” @woodshorestarters​

Hermes had been trying to decipher the food of this world, and while he was positive all of it would be terrible, he wanted to eat something of this planet. He eventually settled on something called Cushnip. hearing the girl mutter about flying, he popped up from behind her and bit into his strange food. “Flapping isn’t about flying. Bird just do it to look cool. All I need to fly is my shoes.”

Cassidy sighed softly as he watched as a ship came to a stop a short distance away from him. A small hint of a smile crossed his lips as he thought about what it must be like to drive one and for a few seconds he couldn’t deny that he had been thinking about stealing. As he approached the ship he tilted his head slightly and was just about to turn around when he felt someone or something slam into him. He slowly turned around and scratched the back of his neck slightly.

“Now… now I know this may look bad but I swear I was just checking to see if that strange noise I heard was coming from this thing. Ya can doubt me if you’d like but when shite sounds as bad as that ya really do need to get it checked out.” He lied glancing up at the stranger with a small smile. He didn’t exactly want to cause any trouble without his two friends and he sure as hell didn’t want to get into a fight on another planet when he wasn’t in his element. “Look I’m sorry… I should have been watching where I was going but I’m sure I can make things up to ya. How about I buy ya a few drinks and we pretend like none of this ever happened?”

As a god of trickery and thievery, Hermes was slightly overwhelmed with the city he found himself in. With every turn someone was being hoodwinked out of money, or food was being stolen. What a grand place. Of course, he enjoyed being the slight balance. Such as stealing back a purse for an older woman, or doing slight of hand tricks for children. But it was the strange, wiry man getting close to an unmanned ship that caught his attention. Mortals were so funny when caught red handed. Hermes let the man ramble on, nodding his head with understanding now and then.

“Mhm.” he hummed. “Yes, fascinating. Now... I see where you’re coming from, and I totally get it.” He began. He pressed his hands together, and inhaled with his eyes closed, paused and then opened them. He pointed his pressed hands at the man. “But how about we steal it?”

Just looking at the other, arching one of his eyebrows, he then hummed and shrugged as he didn’t really know what to say. It was clear that everything that’s happening was confusing Severus. “Do you know where we are?” he asked, playing a little with the sleeve of his shirt.

Hermes looked at the other man, then back at the city. “If I could guess...” He placed his hands on his hips, surveying the crowd of humans and creatures alike. “Some fantasy land? A far more advanced society I’ve ever been in.”

Paige had just made her way to Woodshore in hopes of reuniting with her sisters. She managed to get into her room extremely late and she passed out as soon as her head hit the pillow. She woke up and looked around confused. This was not her room it was some other room. She got up and looked out the window. She was not in Woodshore anymore. Paige made her way into the bathroom and got ready for the day. She was extremely confused as to what was going on and exactly what was happening. She made her way outside and looked around. “Where the hell am?” she muttered. She continued walking and was looking around not paying attention to where she was. Continuing her walk she walked right into someone and fell on the ground. “Ouch,” she said.

Room 330. He’d have to remember that. The hallways of the hotels seemed to twist and turn with every new step, while he only wished to find the exit he found a stumbling redhead. Lots of redheads today. He bent, and helped her up. “Sorry, but you really should keep your eyes up front. That’s the best way to move foward.” He raised an eyebrow at her. “You look a little lost. But in all fairness, so am I.”

Paige looked at him in confusion. “A punishment? What did you do? That’s one crazy punishment sending you to a different planet but I don’t know your life story.” Paige looked around and said, “Do you know where we are?”

“Honey, Zues has temper tantrums all the time. Once I sneezed a little too loud while he was making a tower of cards, and sent me to the underworld for a week.” He shrugged, walking to a post filled with flyers of various events, missing persons and things for sale. He grabbed a random one. “I’ve never heard of Coruscant, and I’ve been all over the immortal world.” He looked over at the redhead. “Can you die?” he asked, poking her.

Hermes looked up at the looming city above him, never seeing anything quite like it. “Well, I don’t know who orchestrated this.. but.. I guess I’m in the market for a new career then. Must be some punishment by Zues.”
