Echo nods very enthusiastically to everything Galaxian says, agreeing. She isn't much of a talker, definitely not good at conversation.



Silence silently watches and listens to Orphos and Time's conversation. They move closer, being very obvious about it.

"I dunno!" Galaxian's still smiling, though that's his honest take. Seriously, the speed at which he spirals through ways to look at a situation is almost unnerving in its own right. "But there's no way we can just not try at all, I think. So we should!"
While saying all that, he's doing a little pumping action with his two arms, like a plan is already in action and he's cheering it on.

Bliss was now considerably more upbeat than she was 30 seconds ago. Galaxian was right. There was no harm in trying, surely? Besides, what was Orphos going to do, get more angry?
She stood and turned back into her room, beginning to rummage through piles of junk on the floor. "There's probably a lot of fun stuff in here. Orphos gets so much random things from deals that he almost never notices when I take things out of Storage for myself. Ooh, like this!"
She held up a pad of yellow lined paper, exactly like the papers her invitations were sent on. No sooner were the words out of her mouth when the entire thing burst into flames in her hand, then disappeared entirely. Gone just as soon as it appeared. She frowned, annoyed and surprisingly calm despite it literally combusting in her hand. "Ugh, they always do that. What a scam."
With little more than a shrug, she was back to looking through the pile, humming a little to herself.


Orphos's eye twitched almost imperceptibly, a flicker of something crossing his face... guilt? Time's needling had struck a chord in him, and his fatigue had frayed his nerves, allowing his temper to get the better of him. "Fine," the god snapped. 
He raised his hand and made a motion as if grabbing something out of the air. In a flash, a sphere of light --a soul-- materialized above his palm. It was no bigger than an apple, awash with hues of orange and bright green, but its shine was so uncommonly bright it was near blinding. Orphos allowed the soul to persist for another few seconds before closing his hand, causing it to disappear once more. As the light winked out, it became easier to see that the dark circles under the god's eyes had lessened considerably. His annoyed expression had softened into a more neutral one, but came back full force once his eyes had readjusted enough to be able to look at Time again.
"There. Treasure enough for you?" he scowled, leaning back in his chair. It was only then he noticed that a vine had erupted from the ground, wrapping around the leg of the chair and ensnaring one of his own in the process. He grumbled some more and started to carefully free himself with a practiced efficiency. 

In that split second, Time looked to analyze the soul as fast as possible, matching it with whatever he could in his mental library. He was no Ark, who could probably instantly identify the soul, but he still tried.

"I'm afraid it's not." Time shakes his head, "You've only further intrigued me. Tell me about it. The vine, the soul, whatever."
 

"Holy..." Time's eyes widen as he straightened up, "that was my guess but I never thought it would be correct..."

"How did tou get it, what're you doing with it??" Time shifts his weight from leaning to standing fully. His voice was much more inquisitive and just a slight more intense now.

Echo followed fairly quickly, leaving her rocks at the doorway. She probably would get them back later, or if she forgot, Echo happily would let Bliss just have them. Echo had a lot of rocks back at home.

Echo yelled, "I wanna help, whatever we are doing!"  She slipped past Galaxian as quickly as she could, seemingly very careful to not bump into him. About halfway down the stairs, she jumped and landed on her feet- then fell hard on her knees as the impact caused her legs to go weak. She stood up and continued on her merry way, unfazed and humming.



Silence the entire time of Orphos and Time's conversation was a bit wide-eyed, but they didn't say anything (although a bit earlier they quietly snickered at Orphos having to free himself from the vine). To be fair, they're just a demigod who doesn't really see much deity-related stuff, which is funny considering Echo is their little sister.
So, in basic explanation, Silence is standing there with their arms crossed and a slight oh-gods-this-is-not-what-I-was-prepared-to-eavesdrop-today expression (ie: Their eyebrows raised, their eyes doing a mile stare, and a distant smile at the ground as if they didn't just see some person's soul).

The deity's been staring blankly as he moves, almost as if he's in a trance, but someone asking him a question seems to spark something back into his eyes. He almost starts shaking his head before he realizes that would imply that he is in fact not okay, at which point he starts nodding, a little overexcessively. "Yeah!" he says to the second question, trying his best to round his cheer back into his voice and his smile onto his face. "Sorry about that. I guess something came over me there. Uh..." He trails off briefly, trying to find a way to effectively finish his sentence and the topic in general without sounding too awkward. "I dunno what it was. I'll figure it out later."
He jumps off what must be at least 4 steps of stairs and lands with his arms sticking out, kind of like a vertical plane posture. He's successfully herded his cheerful demeanor from before back by this point. "So! What's the party plan? How can we help? What can we work on?" he asks, like each question is a cannonball and he's the cannon.

((lil bump if anyone is still interested, totally fine if not))

((I am in attendance))

Crimson throws one of his Kunai at Bliss and whistled.  "Oy, I'm talkin' to ya!  Who're you?!" 

Crimson stood up and glared directly at Time, the tone in his voice unnaturally serious.  "Perhaps you misunderstood.  I am blind, I cannot see and there are multiple deities here that are scrambling my ability to tell everyone apart.  And raising my voice and yelling would cause unnecessary attention and strike up more trouble than I would want.  I may be from another world, but that doesn't mean, nor give you the right, to order me and scold me on my tryings to adjust to this all.  Also, for your information, yes, I did hit my head, quite a few times.  You try navigating a mountain that's full of rocks before getting transported to another world.  On that note too, don't you ever dare bring my family into my problems.  Nor call them "advisors." if you bothered reading the room and looking into other timelines, you would be able to tell that they saved me and I trust them with my life.  I don't need you ruining their name nor mine.  They are not some supervisors for me, they are family, they guide me and help me.  And I came here likely upon my Creators wish and command.  And how am I supposed to know that I THREW A DAMN KUNAI AT THE BIRTHDAY CHILD?!  I'M BLIND!  So please, leave me alone or help me.  Your choice God of Time." Crimson responded, looking at him dead in the eyes.  "And please return my Kunai.  Shard would kill me if I lost one again." 

((Bhahaha, it's all good Time, it's always cool too see what people come up with.) )

Crimson sighs and shakes his head.  "Not anymore at least." 

"Start a fight here and I assure you the outcome will not be in your favor." Crimson said, staring into Orphos eyes, a slight hint of gold shone in his pupils.  "And for the sake of the birthday party, I suggest you keep your hands away from your weapons." He pushed past Orphos and walked over to Bliss.  "I beg your pardon, but were you the one on the receiving end of my lack of attention and questioning by a kunai?  I am deeply sorry for the trouble I may have caused you.  I am not accustomed to such...environments of having many deities around so this creates a problem for me trying to recognize anyone here.  My name is Crimson Kasani, I am a deity of sorts of Judgement, Flame and Curse.  I am not of Forengard, but of another world called Arithnia.  My home has little to no true deities, including myself, so this world would consider me a demigod, but in reality I am more like a artificial deity.  And do pray tell, how may I make my little incident up to you?"  

Crimson huffed and turned his head to Time.  "It's rude to talk about people behind their back Time.  I'm not an idiot for your information.  Please do not treat me as such."  he said almost casually, as if he's heard and said that too often.  He turned his attention back to Bliss.  "That is, if I can within my power." 

Crimson glanced at Orphos and made a slight grin at him.  "You have balloons in this world?!  That's freaking cool!" he said.  "Heck yeah I can make all sorts.  Infinity taught me well how to make them.   And don't worry about the big guy.  Trust me when I say that he would be the least of problems caused here..." Crimson lowers his head, as if to pray or whisper something.  'I would be more worried about myself..."
