[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.]

[aspectsofblood]

I can say with complete confidence that no, they do not.

[Persephone is not as... actively hostile to them as Hades, but she still ran away from Olympus.]

[droptheious]

...Really?

[He sounds genuinely surprised here.]

Sorry, it's just that's uh...where your name comes from, right?

[aspectsofblood]

I mean. It's my name.

As in, uh.

The god.

Is me.




Sorry I've never had this conversation before, it's much weirder than I was expecting.

[droptheious]

[Varian's just gonna...take a moment here.

He's fought an actual demon. His best friend is made of sentient grass. His adoptive sister has seventy foot of magical hair. He's used to magical weirdness.

He's never met a GOD before though.]

Oh wow...really? I- well, I honestly didn't think this place could capture a god? Guess I was wrong. Anyway, trust me, it's pretty weird from the mortal perspective, too.

[aspectsofblood]

Yeah, I mean-- I don't know the first thing about this place, obviously, but the fact that I'm still here is a bit concerning, not gonna lie.

[he doesn't love being tied to the Underworld or anything, but not having died yet is real weird.]

[droptheious]

Yeeeeah, I'm feeling pretty concerned right now. This is another world...apparently Earth but it's very far in the future for me. I'm not sure what's keeping us here- some sort of anomaly with the barriers between dimensions, at my best guess.

[aspectsofblood]

I'm pretty good at getting out places that are meant to be impossible to escape, but I'll admit I've not a bloody clue where to start with this.

[droptheious]

I'm working on a portal to try and get those of us trapped here back home. It's very much a work in progress at the moment, though.

[aspectsofblood]

Really? How do you even work on doing that?

[droptheious]

I made one back home, so I'm largely working on that. Still trying to find a power source for it, though.

[aspectsofblood]

[huh.]

Wait, are you the one who needs gods blood or something to power it?

[droptheious]

Oh, yup, that's me. I um- have other people...looking into that. I guess they talked to you?

[aspectsofblood]

Yeah. I'm happy to help, if you think it's worth a shot.

[droptheious]

I really do! I mean, it's about the only option we have right now, anyway. Thank you.
