Really? Your world had god magic, and that's what confuses you?

[he tilts his head.]

No shit. I meant-- how did you get into that situation?

Look- I- I don't determine what confuses me, okay.

[ Stop making fun of her!! Well, he's not, but it's how she's inclined to respond. ]

So- right when I got back to my world, Persephone- Laura and I found Woden's secret lair or whatever. It's where he kept Jon, his kid. Jon was already a talking head...and from that we figured out a bunch of the other gods probably were too. We thought they were dead. I tried to tell people the truth about Woden, but- [ She huffs. ] He got the Valkyries to pull some brainwashing shit on me. I got locked up for months.

By the time Laura came to get me out, he'd already gotten the heads. We just went and got them all, and then we took them to get bodies- most of them, I mean- you know, how there were bodies available is its own shitty thing. We may need to pick and choose here. We're not even close to me figuring all this shit out.

Lucky they all died via beheading then, eh?

[he's... actually following this easier than he thought he would. maybe he's just that used to horrific shit?]

That was the point. It was actually...a teleporter? So Ananke could siphon their head powers or however she did it. But everyone else who died-

[ She sighs. She wasn't close to any of the remaining dead, but. ]

They're gone for good. Amaterasu and Sakhmet. Baphomet now, too.

[ God. Right. ]

You knew Dionysus, right? Now he's not dead. That's- that's a thing that happened. [ She looks a little stunned, being able to say that. ] I...shouldn't be happy about it. Or, I should, but the circumstances were- [ Ugh. She rubs her face, covering her eyes. ]

Yeah. Primus, that ain't right.

[he frowns as he tries to make it work in his head.]</small. How is he not dead?

[ Cassandra leans back in her chair and continues to cover her eyes. This...wasn't a good time for anyone, was it. ]

Baphomet traded his own life off for Dio's. His girlfriend, Morrigan, she was never here- she was incredibly fucked up, first of all, but she did that for him. After killing him. I guess Baphomet wanted to pay it forward or something.

[ That's a crude way to put it. But she never knew Baphomet well enough. She sighs and puts her hands down. ] But I don't know. It was- it just happened. We didn't have time for anything.

[he looks down at the floor a little unhappily, clearly familiar with the concept of the situation.]

That's how it is a lot of the time in a crisis. No time for thoughts or regrets. Just actions. Good or bad, right or wrong.

I mean...Baphomet would have had time to think on that. He said he was thinking of bringing Morrigan back, too, trading off with her forever like some sort of shitty abuse ouroboros...

[ She'd wanted to understand Baphomet, in the end. Laura and Dio cared for him too much for her to not want to try, no matter how fucking annoying the guy was, even if he'd tried to kill her once in a desperate moment. In the end, he did-

Well, she's not sure if it was the right thing. But she knows it feels right for Dio to be alive again. ]

But that's what he picked. [ She puts a hand through her hair. ] I don't know what the fuck I'm going to say to him if he shows up. Christ.

What's the first thing that comes to mind? I'd go with that.

[he frowns.]

...Why did he want to help someone that hurt him?

Bad idea. I've said the first thing that came to mind for most of my life and all it's lead to is a wide variety of fuckups.

[ She looks away. She's starting to become genuinely sad, thinking about this. ] I think he...thought he deserved it. Wanted to believe it'd be right if things worked that way. I don't know.

[ This feels...as if they shouldn't be talking about it. She shakes her head. ]

What else did you need to know about? Fuck.
