WHO: Zagreus and YOU
WHERE: The network
WHEN: A very sunny afternoon, much to his dismay
WHAT: A whole new wooooooorld
WARNINGS: Likely nothing, other than the fact that Zag is not sure why he's alive and will say so

[What is the worst way to film something?

Some might argue that a continuous Dutch angle, while other maintain that Vertical Phone Filming (TM) remains the cardinal sin. However, all parties might agree that what is currently happening is the actual worst, since whoever is holding the camera doesn't seem to have a single clue what they're doing. It keeps moving, for one thing, and more often than not is at an angle that makes no sense at all, and doesn't seem to focus on anything.]

Erm... hello? The scroll said this could be use to talk to people but I'm honestly not sure how that could be the case.

[Did he read literally any of the instructions on how to use it after turning it on? No, of course not.]

[Wow, that is WAY more casual than he expecting. Zag feels way too personal, considering he just met this guy and also is a god, so-]

Zagreus, alright. I'm Jun.

[Gah...]

Look, this will sound strange, but my friend and I were looking for a god. He's been stranded here like you, and we have a theory that using some god blood might help get people home.

[......huh.]

That... may do something, actually. Depending on how you'd plan on using it.

[clearly just HAVING god blood hasn't helped any.]

[Oh!! He's open to the idea]

Mm, my friend knows more, but it sounds like there's some kind of portal that'd be constructed. The blood would mostly be just used to give it enough magic power for it to work.

Huh.

I'll admit I don't know the first thing about that, but blood can definitely grant power so... it might work?

[It's not exactly the same as his weapons drenching themselves in Titan's Blood, but.]

Mm, I think it'd be worth a shot, at least.

So that's a yes? You'll donate some?

Yeah, sure. Why not, right?

Great. Thank you, Zagreus!

I'll get the supplies we'll need. Do you like cookies? I've heard blood donors are given cookies.

I'm going to look like an idiot if I ask what cookies are, aren't I.

Huh? They don't have cookies in the Underworld?

[AWFUL]

Well, we'll have to change that. I'll be bringing cookies for sure.

[the only foods there are nectar, pomegranates, and onions.

nothing else.

not a thing.]

I guess we don't. I look forward to finding out what they are.

Great! I'm sure you'll like them.

[Because of course someone would like cookies???? According to Jun anyway]

Do you have a place that you're staying? I can meet you there once I'm ready.

Mate, I barely know where I am.

Ah. Right.

[hmmmm]

I know there's a group that'll give new arrivals housing, though my friend might have a better idea of how to get that. [He normally stayed clear of Zodiac] Can you describe the stuff around you right now? It might give me a clue where you are.

[Zagreus looks around, but he is going to be remarkably less helpful that he would probably hope.]

There's lots of... trees? [yes good, his mother did teach him some things.] It's all very green.

[ 💧 ]

Ok, new plan. Take the phone and point the screen slowly to your surroundings. Maybe I'll recognize it.

[Good plan, Jun. Zagreus will do as instructed, though he's still a bit unsteady with the camera. Looks like he's around the park, though.]
