"Sounds mostly good. I'll look into the storms, maybe some wind nymphs and water ones got a bit power-hungry. It wouldn't be a first." Duality wrote that down in their notepad, pulling up different notes to give their report. "In the Northen Region, like you said Theah, the leader is making a choice. I will make sure that the chaos does not get too out of hand."
"Death is still death. Not much change, though we're renovating the fields of asphodel to be bigger," Diara signed.
Thea waved a hand looking a bit bored. "It doesn't really matter which way it goes in the northern region. There's been something brewing there that will keep me busy for some time once it breaks. " Her eyes flashed as she ran a hand through her multicolored hair. "You can't stop all the mayhem, Duality."
"I cannot stop it, but I can controll it. That is my job." Duality informed her with an emotionless face. "Choas and Order, that is my job. Along with the duality of it all."
Kos remained silent for a long moment. "Nothing to report. The humans still dream of the stars and send their rockets into space." He said in a soft, deep voice.
“Nothing new here either,” Pyrrha sighed. “No one has been doing anything innovative enough yet to be a big deal to me. A few minor breakthroughs on some electronics is all.” She rested her chin on her hand, her hair a bored light blue.
(Bump)
(We need . . . more. Like some sort of conflict or plot or something)
(yeah)
(word. Reed did you have something in mind?)
(Sorry for not responding sooner, I'm sick. I'll take care of it.)
Duality sighed and stood up. "Now onto the worse news. Someone who is not one of our gods, have been infliciting mortals. Usally I would shut it down quickly, but I am unable to find the source."
Diara raised his eyebrows. "What have they been doing?"
Avalon looked up from the small illusions she had been forming between her hands. "What? How?"
"I'm not sure, that's the thing. I can sense that it's happening, I just can't sense what it is."
Kos tipped his head slightly, frowning. He said nothing, a thin tendril of shadow playing through his fingers.
"Well, we should probably find out what's happening since we don't know how bad it is," Diara suggested, the corners of his lips quirking down.
(Reed I hope you get better soon!)
"Do you at least know where the problems are?" Ashley asked, twiddling with her hair.
"Some stuff in Russia and Germany, but the main problem is in D.C. It seems the source only wants to affect political choices."
"…That actually explains a lot." Avalon said, smiling slightly. "Really, the curses and binding spells that have been sent that way…"
Kos chuckled. "A den of thieves and murderers, who do their business in the dark. That makes sense." He said softly. He always seemed to speak quietly, as if he didn't want to attract undue attention.
Diara tapped his chin in thought. "Maybe we should go over there and check it out," he proposed.
Thea arched a brow at the news. She had been drawn more and more to DC lately. Wandering around the streets trying to find whatever had drawn her there with no luck. It was like an itch she couldn't scratch. To say that her presence had caused a little skirmish here and there would be an understatement. War was brewing and like hell she was going to miss it.
"Maybe…" Ashley trailed off, subconsciously repeating a variation of Diara's words.
"So we go to these places?" Xia asked. "We poke around, try to find what is influencing the mortals? Do we all go?" This was new territory. Xia hardly ever interacted with mortals. She was the whispering wind, the snow, the rain. Not a face or a form. But perhaps now she would be.
"I'm… I'm not sure. Maybe we observe and a few go interact." Duality looked ashamed that they were saying this. "I don't know."
Thea scoffed, throwing her hands in the air. "You don't know? How is that possible? We either have a threat that we beat into the dirt or not. Which is it?" Her hands came down with a smack on the table. They couldn't just sit around and observe like the old gods once did. That would only cause more issues that she really did not want to deal with. A fight to the death would be the easiest way to solve any issue.
"Calm down, Thea." Avalon said, looking over at her. "I understand where you're coming from. But we aren't even sure what this is, never mind if beating it into the dirt, as you put it, would work. And you can't just do that to a random entity. We need to be sure we have this right." She spoke calmly, though her odd stiffness probably gave away her nerves.
Xia glared at Thea. "Things are not so black and white. The only options are not 'kill or do not kill'. Not everything can be beaten into the dirt. You, out of all of us should know that's not how you win a war. We need a strategy."
