A TERRIBLE THING IS HAPPENING

reference books detailing myths and legends stolen from libraries...
wikipedia pages wiped clean from the face of the internet...
ancient stained glass windows smashed and destroyed...
historical research centers burnt to the ground...

Someone out there is trying very, very hard to erase all of the possible sources of power and belief of the ancient gods and goddesses. And it hurts. Whilst the powers of the minders are unharmed by the attacks, the gods and goddesses will be certainly feeling the toll: it's now painfully clear that even the simplest of miracles are now becoming almost impossible to perform.

deities, you had better have gifted your minders with some decent blessings! Because now you're going to rely on them more than ever. Someone is out to get you.

[ Cam makes sure Terps is in good hands (literally) before doing her thing. She's fast, always has been, but now she's faster. Super speed was Hermes' gift and she loves it. She times her move with the opening of the door, zipping through, grabbing an umbrella (in the name of Hermes and Terpsichore), and ending up outside before anyone notices. If she's disturbed anything, people are more likely to blame it on the wind. ]

Hiya. [ She's very suddenly THERE, sitting on the bench next to the muse and grinning, umbrella on her lap. ] Here you go.

[Terps gives her best half-smile yet and reaches for the umbrella, testing its sturdiness against the ground.]

Aw, Cam, you're a life-saver. [Literally. She looks back at the girl a little more seriously.] Thanks.

[ideas]

[ That half-smile is returned with one from Cam. They're not out of the woods yet, but at least this is working out. ]

It's my job. And I love my job. [ Technically looking after the muse isn't her job, but hey, Hermes sent her out. ] Now we just have to find some hippies so I can do a little dance for you, and then-- well, I've got to report back to the boss. You want to come?

[terpsichord]

Yeah, sure, I'll come along. Kit's busy right now with something really important, but when she's done I'll- I'll take off with her and see about helping with this.

[She starts trying to push herself off the bench, and the result is a little pathetic.]

[ideas]

[ Cam scrabbles to support Terps once again, arm wrapping around her. ]

I think the plan is to catch a plane to London right now. Hermes wants to be by the family.

[terpsichord]

What? I thought Apollo was coming here. He said his plane would land tonight.

[ideas]

Well, he'd probably have to stop here anyway. Once we get there, we can ask. I've been running around all day and things change.

[terpsichord]

Okay, okay.

[Leaning on Cam as she starts to walk, leaning heavily on the umbrella.]

No matter what happens, I need to be in America. All the important people in international media are here, y'know? I got shit to do.
