Some Legends Are Told, Some Turn To Dust Or To Gold [CEREALIA INBOX]

'Busy, leave a message!
...oh, you've reached Hiro Hamada. Whatever. Still busy!'

[He should be surprised Athena noticed, but he's not.]

Lot to think about. Besides, you seemed to be covering everything anyway :)

[That's unsuspicious, right? Right.]

Not reason enough to voice out your opinion.

What do you think about it, anyway?

It's...complicated, I guess. There's a lot to think about and we don't even know if we can trust whoever that was, right? I don't... Athena, have you ever talked to Occidi?

I've never had the opportunity to. Have you?

She's the only one of those four I HAVEN'T talked to. She's my brother's alignment-goddess or whatever you want to call them, but I've never had reason to. I'm thinking maybe we should fix that if this is what it's coming down to.

Yup! That's what I was thinking, too.
I wonder why she's the special one and not the fox, too, you know?

Think about it this way. Fire's usually linked to destruction and earth is usually linked with peace. Why wouldn't it be Occidi? Besides, most of the planet's jungle from what we can tell anyway. I'd like to go see her soon, leave an offering, ask some questions, whatever. I know we were gonna go see Ardeo but...think we should change plans?

That's true. I hadn't considered that part.

And that sounds like a good idea to me. Though I'm not sure what exactly to offer an earth spirit.

I've been thinking about this a lot. Like. A lot a lot. I've got some pretty high stakes in all of this.

[And for a moment he pauses.]

I dunno maybe something that grows IN the ground? Like maybe a small tree or something but I don't think we can get those in the colony. Uh. Food of some kind? Something fresh. I know Korra and I brought Maris apples and he seemed okay with those.

Merlin can make flowers come out of the ground. Maybe I can ask him to make those and just get them?

And ugh, don't get me started with Maris. I don't want to have anything to do with him.

[...ah. Merlin. A man of great power and traumatizing small children without meaning to.]

Doesn't sound like a bad idea. Will they stay alive if they're magic? And we're not gonna talk to Maris, don't worry about it. If anything, I'll talk to him on my own later.

[ ... what did he do. ]

I'm sure they will. Just let me know when, and I'll ask him for the offerings.

And good! But you should be careful around him. He seems like the most dangerous one of them all.

[A great and powerful warlock who also sent up a giant inferno to light a snake on fire to kill it. Nbd. But now that she's said it, that would make sense.]

Soon. Whenever you've got time I've got time. I'm resorting a lot of my priorities lately. I'm not scared of him. Besides, as far as I'm concerned he should be thanking me.

[ ah... ]

Why should he be thanking you? Is this for releasing the Bridge?

Exactly. But...at the same time maybe that was a really, really bad idea if what that robot said is true.

I wonder who it is that we haven't met... Do you think we'll even meet them?

We didn't meet Maris, Caeli, Ardeo and Occidi for months right? And the Flamines, too. Who knows when we'll meet them but...I think so. We have to someday.

My guess is it's probably another robot. Or maybe a program? An AI?

What makes you think that? We've already got a robot-ish figure, elemental god-spirit things, and an alien. It doesn't seem like it'd be something we've already seen before. The robot that reached out to us said that CERES doesn't know what it can do. Makes me think whoever else we haven't met yet is the same way.

Probably just my weird imagination. [ it'd be cool if it was an AI or something though...]

But you're right. :)

Well that was way too easy. But if if does turn out to be an AI? At least we'll know how to handle that. Occidi. Soon. Okay?

Yup. I'll ask Merlin about the flowers ASAP.

You're the best. Thanks Athena! And let me know what I can do to help prep for whenever...you know. Pizza and stuff.

[Yep, let's remember CERES is watching at the very last minute. Good job Hiro.]

Why, are you treating? :)

Man, don't push it. I paid for all the food last time remember? I'm just saying.
