Benjamin Katz - Birdman of the fourth
Andrew Anderson - from deeply religious family, from Idaho, very active in the ministry, his father is a minister. {C
With The Fourth Floor, a new containment facility for problem students opening, some new students arrived. One of them was Ivan Boyka, a very tough-looking Russian who Cord Van Graff immediately percieved him as both a rival and a communist threat to the very fabric of America.
Cord started some trouble and managed to get himself thrown on The Fourth Floor as part of his plan to get to fight Boyka.
Agent Walker talked Fionn into getting thrown into the Fourth Floor in order to find information about Ivan Boyka. In return, Fionn wanted information about Andrew Anderson.
Fionn got transferred to The Fourth by fighting some goons sent by Stefan Van Der Haas Graacht to rough him up.
Fionn got thrown in solitary with Boyka and Boyka told him he would tell him about himself for the price of three hairs from a wise woman. Finn was refusing until Boyka gave his word that no harm would come to the woman. Fionn trusted him and Athena gave three of her hairs, Fionn gave them to Boyka who used them to string his violin, playing a beautiful Romany song, Ederlezi.
Boyka had grown up with war, been around it all over the globe.
Having spent some time with Boyka, Fionn realized Cord was not his equal hand to hand. He went looking for Cord and found him training at the dojo of Tony Lionor. Fionn went in to talk to him after the class ended and told him he was not ready to fight Boyka. Tony Lionor told Fionn he'd heard about some of his fistfights and he would give him a free lesson, let him see why Cord's training would be sufficient to handle Boyka.
Fionn and Lionor fought, it was quite a fight but Fionn lost, even got knocked out.
Fionn discovered that an abandoned house had an inhabitant, the old man from the picture in his loft. Mr Wu, a mysterious Kung Fu master.
Mr Wu’s Training Montage
Tai Chi Inch Punch!
Run through the woods without breaking a single twig
Catching a bird in flight without harming it
Learned Special Move: The Raven’s Wing
Cord challenged Boyka and they fought in front of a crowd of Clearwater High students on an abandoned building site. It was immediately apparent to Fionn that Cord would lose. They traded blows, Cord got in a few hits but he was far outmatched. Finally Boyka kicked him so hard he knocked him off his feet, Cord crashed into some scaffolding which collapsed on him. When Cord got medical attention, they determined his back was broken.
Bethany Trimble - old folks home - turned out to be a gorgon or daughter of gorgon
Ancient old lady in old folks home was a gorgon, Fionn battled her and defeated her, lopping off her head.
Fionn Brought Bethany and the severed head to Athena. There, Bethany spoke of the truth of Athena and the Gorgons and Athena admitted: She had indeed cursed Medusa to become a Gorgon after she was defiled by Apollo, in darker, more savage times. She felt it her greatest regret and Fionn left her and Bethany to talk. Athena and Bethany walked off through Olympus hand in hand.
Lesson learned too late: Mirror Shades vs Gorgon
===Season 2 Episode 2 - The Creature From The Beige Lagoon===
Game Sunday 1st May
The creature from the Beige lagoon - Job’s take on Andrew Anderson
Andrew Anderson arrives in school, he’s always in the right place at the right time, blessed by luck at all times. This makes Fionn suspicious he’s some kind of opposite number.
Fionn went to see Tony Lionor at his Dojo. This time he didn't even wait for the class to finish, he walked right in. Lionor was supremely confident. Fionn walked up to him, told him he was as responsible as Ivan Boyka for Cord Van Graff's broken back. Lionor was enraged and they fought. Fionn had learned a lot from Mr Wu in the intervening time though and it was a very different fight. Lionor had the advantage in mass and strength but Fionn was quicker and now better prepared. He defeated Lionor with The Raven's Wing, a strike taught to him by Mr Wu that stunned an opponent.
Fionn walked out, leaving Lionor on the floor of his own Dojo in front of a class full of his students.
===Season 2 Episode 3 - Meet Study Group===
June 3rd Jenny Swanson and various others have contracted mono.
Mr Swanson told Fionn that if he wanted to date Jenny, he must cook him the greatest steak he had ever eaten or else be found unworthy.
Fionn and Job signed up for Home Economics to try to learn how to cook the perfect steak but Fionn didn't find the class particularly informative, though he and Job appreciated being surrounded by girls for a change.
Fionn got a perfect score on a History test as a member of The Fourth Floor, he was sent to Principal Knope's office because it was assumed he must have cheated. She explained that the academic board was considering expelling him, considering he was already on The Fourth. The position of the board was that he was either cheating or incredibly clever.
Fionn reluctantly offered to take a random test right now to prove he hadn't cheated, making Leslie respond "I knew it!", her natural optimism had made her certain he was just gifted.
She explained the only way she could square things with the board though, would be if he were to lead a Study Group. Fionn reluctantly agreed, grumbling slightly.
Fionn’s to do list: {C
help Simon Prince get fourth floor vote
Help Barbie get first kiss - Barbie Hudson has been cursed by a whimsical prophecy by her mother Aphrodite: If she does not find true love's kiss by her seventeenth birthday, she will be forever alone.
Ride with The Four Horsemen
fix everyone’s mono
Fionn drank from the Water Of The Styx, given to him by The Horsemen
- this triggered Dark Fionn, a sunglasses-inside-wearing, rather amoral version of Fionn
Soulgazed with War: War flinched
Riding with The Four Horsemen, Pestilence was swerving to hit a Fox on the road, Fionn got in the way so Pestilence went right off the road, he had an accident and it cost some of his power.
Nick paid for stolen donuts and sunglasses, casually stolen by Dark Fionn from the seven eleven.
Fionn allowed Cord to be attacked by some thugs on the Fourth Floor but gave him a subtle warning, in order to help him regain his confidence. In some ways it was an action of Dark Fionn because he allowed him to be attacked but in others it was the real Fionn as he knew engineering this situation would lead to Cord discovering he could still handle himself, something that was intrinsic to his sense of self-worth.
Kat soulgaze: Dressed for the prom, arrives to a full ballroom. No corsage. She walks across the floor to the guy she likes, she has to jostle her way through the crowd of couples. The man is Andrew Anderson and Mercedes is in his arms.
Met Murakami at the Half-Moon diner, Job’s Mom’s place.
Fionn went riding with the Four Horsemen, they went to a rough biker bar with a crucifix on the door, that served them vodka spiked with holy water. This actually harmed Fionn, due to his family's antipathy with Yahweh. A great battle ensued, where they wrecked the place. War viciously tore into his opponents, sometimes tearing them apart altogether. Famine grabbed one after another, biting and eating at their throats. Pestilence cowered, his power greatly diminished since the accident. Death just walked among them, touching them on the forehead, and as he did they fell lifeless to the ground.
Fionn killed no-one, using his fists, bar rail, improvised weapons to injure his opponents in ways that weren’t life threatening.
When the fight was done a massive barrel chested man came down the stairs and told them they shouldn’t have come here.
The angel challenged them and drew a holy circle around himself. Death tried to walk through but he couldn’t. Fionn stepped in and the Angel offered him clemency.
Soulgaze: Fionn saw the man was a vainglorious angel who wanted to shine beyond Michael’s light, and came to earth to chase demons. Fionn had thought up to now that this bar was full of rival demons to the Four Horsemen, but now he realized this bar had been full of his army.
Fionn and the angel fought, Fionn used a chain he’d taken from another opponent in the fight and eventually had the angel knocked to the ground choking. Fionn spared him, telling him to spread the word, saying “You know who my father is.”
War roared in frustration asking Death if he was going to allow Fionn to just let him go and Fionn asked Death if he was going to allow War to interfere in his ‘family business’.
Death shrugged.
When Fionn let the angel go, War tripped him, Death loomed over him, but Fionn told them to spare him, and Death granted the wish.
{C
For the first meeting with Study Group, Fionn started by asking what do you know about love and having Jean-Ralphio write the answers on the board. This was to get ideas on how to help Barbie.
Study group:
What do you know about love:
1. Jean-Ralphio - Bestest
2. Rachel Berry - Five dos and donts of Cosmopolitan
3. Buddy - When someone is there for you
4. Sherman - showing people new things
5. Kat - Knowing when to leave someone alone
6. Troy - Bestest x 2000
7. Noriko - Nose honk (Fionn’s thoughts: “Was that really profound, or did she not understand the question?”)
8. Fionn - Love is what you become when knowing someone makes you more than you were when you met them.
9. Barbie - Love is all around
Fionn discovered Buddy can’t read, he subtly offered to teach him, so Buddy will come to Fionn’s house for some lessons.
Barbie asked Fionn for help, they sat in the Half Moon Diner and talked about love, Barbie showed him many drawings of boys she kinda liked for a variety of reasons. Fionn explained it was her choice, but it was also the diffference between a hotdog and a hamburger- it’s not something you think about it’s just something you feel.
Barbie said that Fionn had helped her so much, as Buddy said, love was when someone was there for you. In a moment of confusion she kissed Fionn, who gently pushed her away.
They visited her house to talk more about the idea of love, Fionn met her parents Dr Robert Hudson and Dr Mrs Hudson. They were listening to some fifties hard bop jazz, offered Fionn a glass of wine. He found them to be gracious hosts and loving parents. Barbie's C in Math was proudly displayed on the fridge and the two doctors didn't show any sign of snobbery either towards their daughters's academic career or the rather rough-looking Fionn.
Barbie’s mom, Aphrodite wants to meet Barbie. Fionn arranged this. The Hudsons were worried but Barbie kissed her mother's cheek and said it would be alright.
Aphrodite came to the house, talked to Barbie with Fionn present. She played her her song, The Wild Heart, saying she was sorry for abandoning Barbie, for whimsically almost damning her. She asked Barbie to come to Olympus to live with her now. {C 
Barbie said she had already found a kiss of true love, nodding toward Dr Mrs Hudson whose cheek she had kissed earlier. She said she was sorry but she'd prefer to stay down here.
Fionn actually felt sorry for Aphrodite, giving her a brief hug as he led her out.
New student: Zelda Van Der Haas-Graacht, daughter of Stefan Van Der Haas-Graacht, a man who Fionn accidentally impersonated to go undercover to a brothel, forever earning the man's enmity. (Fionn had put on a curly blond wig, adopted an aggressive South African accent and made up a name at random, bad luck would have it this was a real person and a billionaire.)
Fionn’s note to Rachel Berry:
“Nobody as interested in other people’s secrets as you are doesn’t have secrets of their own, Miss Berry.”
Broke into home ec lab to make steaks, took the whole Study Group along for this.
Struggling: Sherman, Jean Ralphio And Kat, and Troy. Fionn helped them all make better steak.
Late that night though he saw his mentor Mr Wu who told him to come in the morning. When he came in the morning he met Steven, a wandering martial artist and mystic who showed him how to cook the perfect steak.
That night Fionn went to the Swanson household and cooked the perfect steak for Mr Swanson, earning the right to date his daughter.
The Debate about whether the Fourth Floor should have a vote:
Zelda Van Der Haas Graacht argued that The Fourth Floor was home to a criminal class that should not be allowed to vote.
Fionn’s points
What is the purpose of educating the kids on the fourth floor? Has it now become a form of incarceration, or is it still on some level trying to be a place of learning?
Is the way to bring students out of troubled times and back into academic performance, to dehumanize them?
If you feel it’s right to wipe away the thoughts and opinions of an entire floor of the school, who else would you silence? Those who get less than a C average?
Zelda showed the school a video of Barbie kissing Fionn, which made Jenny Swanson run from the stage in tears. Fionn continued the debate anyway, Jenny gave him a note stating that according to Washington State law even prison inmates are allowed to vote, this won the debate.
Episode list for season 2:
Ep 1: Medusa
Ep 2: Boyka
Ep 3: Four Horsemen, Study group
Ep 4: Vs the Horsemen?
===Season 2 Episode 4 - The Four Horsemen===
Troy Donaldson was concerned that he had lost the respect of the school by not being a star athlete anymore. He put together a stunt:
Troy jumped from one school building to the next, a ten foot jump!
Cord jumped it too in his wheelchair, but broke both arms hitting the side of the building.
Brandon Van Graff pledged to help Fionn prepare Clearwater for the battle with The Four Horsemen.
Debate! Zelda revealed Fionn’s kiss with Barbie as a smear, showing it on big projection screens during the debate. Fionn won debate anyway, but only because Jenny showed him Article 12 subsection 4, which states that in Washington prisoners have the vote.
The Deadbeats defeated The Four Horsemen in the battle of the bands out at The Roadhouse.
Fionn was frozen in carbonite and shipped to an asylum, betrayed by Simon Prince and set up by Agent Walker and Mr Van Der Haas Graacht
The Four Horsemen prepared to ride on Clearwater.
Fionn escaped from the asylum, breaking out someone who he thought was the real Simon Prince (kinda) but turned out to be Deception, a daughter of Erebus.
Fionn went to his allies for help. Mr Van Graff hired trucks to create Indiana Jones-style alleys to funnel them down, Andrew Anderson blessed areas of town to cut down their routes and supplied holy water as weaponry.
Fionn faced them in turn: Pestilence he killed at the cemetary, Famine he killed outside Jenny Swanson’s house as he went there to kill her. Death he defeated by kicking him off his bike and stabbing him in the throat with his own belt buckle.
And War was the greatest opponent of all. They battled on and on in an alley sealed off by holy water, gravely wounding each other. Fionn struck him down but War managed to swing a final blow, stabbing Fionn in the belly. Terribly wounded, Fionn heard a slow clap as Death appeared. He decapitated Death with War’s Scythe, then had Andrew Anderson bless a container crate and Eddie helped to seal it with metal control, they covered it in runes -some Abrahamic magic and Eddie contributed Norse runes and Dio lyrics- to seal Death in.
They dropped the crate to the bottom of Clearwater Lake.
===Season 2 Episode 5 - Meet The Winters AKA ‘Secret Origins: The Sausage Fest’===
Fionn is coasting towards Rock Bottom due to the breakup with Jenny Swanson and the aftermath of the Styx water.
Study Group has three free places so it's interviews time.
Throughout interviews Fionn sits with his boots up on the study group table, sunglasses on.
Agent Walker putting pressure on Fionn for more information about Ivan Boyka. Fionn stalling him, he didn't believe Boyka had intentionally broken Cord's back and wasn't sure he could trust Walker.

Sindy Winters:Dad Gary Winters: Mike BradyBrother: Bradley Winters - Val Kilmer
Dad Gary Winters: Mike Brady
Brother: Bradley Winters - Val Kilmer
Bradley Winters had formerly dated Jenny Swanson. He challenged Fionn to a fight to avenge Fionn's breaking Jenny's heart. Fionn agreed to fight him out of a strange sense that he shouldn't dishonour him by dismissing him and not taking his challenge seriously.
Fionn didn't want to hurt Bradley, he fought with him, going easy on him but eventually knocked him out.
{C
Fionn took Sindy for a drink at The Roadhouse , trying to distract himself with her company. She beguiled him with flirty charm, vaguely older woman-ish but Fionn was too Rock Bottom to notice. She even asked to see where he lived, but when he drove her by, she didn't want to come in. Some minor alarm bells of suspicion going off by now.
The Winters turned out to be demon hunters, who believed Fionn was a target. Fionn discovered them plotting his death. He walked into their hideout at the back of their sports store and calmly explained he had just a few days ago defeated all of The Four Horsemen in the protection of Clearwater. He didn't labour the point that this meant they probably wouldn't have much chance of killing him, instead concentrating on the other point: Did they really want to kill Clearwater's protector?
They apologized and left.
Fionn threw a party to raise money for the Mall in a moment of feeling bad for Kat. Due to the Jeff Winger-like division of the school it was only a bunch of Bros, so Fionn charged them all double. Ended up raising 1800 dollars, but Fionn was approached by one of the nerd girls who said Fionn was breaking Jenny’s heart with his behaviour, beating up her ex etc. This explained why no girls were at the party: Bros thought he was a hero, girls thought he was a heel. {C
Ivan Boyka showed up at the party, Fionn knew he and Boyka had to fight. Boyka suggested taking a drive, picking a spot. They went to The Roadhouse, had a drink together. They talked a while, Ivan expressed -in his terse manner- regret at the injury to Cord.
When their single beers were finished they went outside to fight.
It was a great battle, very evenly matched. Boyka's incredible athleticism and unpredictability vs Fionn's deadly accuracy and impeccable warrior instincts. A crowd gathered outside to watch and when Fionn threw Boyka against the wall and he broke the 'E' of the neon 'Roadhouse' sign, nobody even objected.
Fionn defeated Boyka, who expected Fionn to take his life. Fionn told him he'd sooner destroy a stained glass window than kill a martial artist of his calibre, or words to that effect. Boyka said he knew Agent Walker would be coming for him soon. Fionn gave him a ride out past the edge of town, dropping him off injured but ambulatory, out in the woods. Boyka said he would not forget this act of decency, then was gone.
Prince approached Fionn to give Kat a cheque for one hundred thousand dollars so she wouldn’t object to his new building project in Clearwater. Fionn talked to Kat, they raised it to 500,000, Prince paid. It brought her father out of disastrous debt.
Fionn and Job picked up Kat and she hung out with The Deadbeats. They all got high, Kat and Fionn made out, they fell asleep together and he brought her home in the morning.
Fionn finally went and told Jenny the truth about what had happened with Barbie. It was painful - Jenny was very angry and hurt that he didn't just tell her what happened, avoiding all this heartbreak- but at the end it seemed like they were at least square.
===Season 2 Episode 6 Simon’s Greed AKA Simonville===
{C
Simon Prince accepted into chamber of commerce
Created Simonville via the aid of Mammon. Simonville is initially a high-cost McMansion development but spirals into new strip clubs and sleezy joints around Clearwater. {C
The Deadbeats were worried about Fionn being a bit Rock Bottom so they got together with him to fix up his hearse.
{C
They destroyed The Four Horsemen's bikes and cannibalized them to augment the hearse, at the end turning it into a very sweet ride.
Andrew Anderson disappeared, turned out he was working on battling Mammon and his underlings. Fionn went to fight Mammon and find Andrew.
He found Andrew's notes so had some idea what he would be facing:
Mammon had Werewolf Servants that would be his soldiers in the coming battle.
Fionn slaughtered a dozen or so werewolves outside a mansion, a further fifty inside a mansion, found Andrew and rescued him. The ritual to raise Mammon was happening at the other mansion, Prince’s new home. Fionn went there, fought some more werewolves and banished Mammon himself by sacrificing his beloved hearse to drive it into him. He failed to destroy him by ramming him so he began tearing pieces off the car, stabbing and cutting. Eventually he cut his way inside Mammon’s giant skull, damaging it enough that it was sucked back to hell.
Prince dived into the pit to save a fifty million dollar bearer bond, Fionn saved his life and after a microsecond's internal debate he also let him grab the bearer bond.
===Season 2 Episode 7 - Halloween Part 1===
Halloween is Fionn's Birthday, in The Tuatha De Danaan tradition a man comes of age at 17.
Got together with The Deadbeats to swap ghost stories Oct 28th.
Job told them all a ghost story - Mr Stitches. A tale of a scary janitor who abducts and kills children. {C
Fionn decided that his birthday shouldn't be all about him so he got presents for friends too.
He went shopping with Kat at the mall. They took a staircase because the elevator was out, encountered the janitor, Mr Stitches. Fionn thought he was pretty clearly scary but Kat refused to acknowledge his spookiness at all.
Later Fionn was at the mall with Troy, Troy tried to shoplift a pair of sneakers that he absolutely had his heart set on. Fionn took them from Troy and tossed them into the store as subtly as possible but they were spotted and chased by the mall detective, Don Shelby. Fionn led Troy away but they got separated. Fionn stumbled on a hideout area in the bowels of the mall that had an eerily perfect model of Clearwater it was a little too perfect and gave Fionn the creeps. He couldn't stay to examine it though, he heard Troy yelping as Shelby caught him. Fionn went to meet up with them both. Shelby was gruff but reasonable, he said since there was no evidence he could let it go so long as it didn't happen again. Fionn and he got talking a little, Fionn noticing Shelby was the real deal, a surprisingly astute investigator.
Oct 31st, going to the mall for some last-minute preparations Fionn saw that Don Shelby had been found dead, a presumed suicide.

During the Halloween party Mathilda queen of the goths found out her little brother was missing. Fionn went searching and found Don Shelby was not dead at all but laying low, searching for Mr Stitches. He had faked his death with the aid of a friend on the force so he could better investigate. They went to the hideout but the miniature model was gone. Fionn left Shelby to search the mall while he flew over the town, looking for signs.
He spotted Stitches and gave chase but he kept disappearing, opening doors and walking through them, emerging somewhere else in town.
Fionn chased Mr Stitches from place to place, with the help of his Raven he eventually found him and killed him at the house Jenny Swanson was babysitting, saving the child from him. He found Mathilda's little brother too, returned him safely to her.
===Season 2 Episode 8 - Halloween Part 2===
After the death of Mr Stitches, Fionn returned to his house and the party.
Halloween party continued
Cord looking kinda down, looking at Mercedes dancing with Andrew Anderson. Fionn bumped into Barbie who decided it was a job for Inspector Clouseau, went to talk to Cord.
Kat listed forty five problems with the party.
Prince told Fionn that people are getting ready to leave the party, so Fionn would need to go and invite some VIPs to make things interesting.
After some internal debate Fionn decided to invite some of the Gods, instinctively knowing they can walk the earth on this night.
Athena said the gods didn’t want to go to the party because Zeus said it was lame.
Fionn decided he didn’t really care if people weren’t into his party. Kat gave Fionn some advice that people just didn’t know if they should be celebrating after the death of Mr Stitches. Fionn talked to them and exlpained that they weren’t celebrating death, but life: the life of the saved children and children of the future who will be safe from Stitches. This swung the atmosphere and people started coming out of their houses to celebrate in the streets.
Prince got some catering from Party Down.
Deception came to the party as Jenny Swanson. Fionn detected her with a soulgaze.
Nyx came for her daughter but decided to stay for a couple of drinks
Hermes - Owen Wilson. Soulgaze- running at the head of a pack of runners and winning races, but a moment of vulnerability as he catches breath, down in Tartarus.
Dionysus came to party as David Bowie - Fionn couldn’t make the separation.
(Some time later Fionn realized there was no separation)
1984 Olympic gold medal team came with Hermes.
Aphrodite - arriving with Mean Girls, still kind of curt with Fionn
Present from Poseidon - Horned Sea Shell - Which lets him actually hear the seven seas
Scion of Erebus - Dwarf Chucky/ Erlich Cartmensch
Erebus arrived- taxi crash, petty recriminations with the driver.
Zeus as Chuck Norris: Arrived with Eddie Murphy, Blues Brothers, Harrison Ford, Bill Murray.
Athena - Was stuck at Olympus, Fionn convinced Zeus to let her come to the party.
Study Group came to Fionn with various concerns: {C
Annie, Caroline, Rachel, Kat, Troy, Jean-Ralphio, Fionn
Troy - Unable to impress Dream Team
Jean-Ralphio - Upset that Zeus called him a never-will-be
Kat - doesn’t like the elitism of Zeus either
Annie - Ahab (Poseidon) getting on her nerves
Caroline - Ahab (Poseidon) - A little too salty
Rachel - Concerned about Cartmensch
Kat told Fionn he must become more of a leader. She said it with such fervour that Fionn wondered if she was talking about more than Study Group but did not press the issue.
Fionn talked to Zeus about being a bit less Elitist, but...
Erebus proposed challenges between Zeus's family and Fionn's Study Group.
Formed teams - Olympians: Zeus , Poseidon , Hermes , Aphrodite , Athena vs Study Group
Feats- Poseidon - Swimming Contest,
Hermes - Footrace (three-legged),
Athena - Debate - Wait no comedy sketch, (Athena was subjected to groans of derision even from The Olympians when she suggested a debate)
Zeus- feat of strength- arm wrestle,
Aphrodite - Musical Number,
Erebus- Truth or dare
Swimming- Annie vs Poseidon. Annie Wins!
Three Legged Race - Fionn and Troy vs Hermes and Erebus - Fionn and Troy win!
Study Group Comedy Sketch: At Home With The Olympians
Fionn- Erebus
Jean Ralphio - Zeus
Kat- Athena
Troy- Hermes
Rachel - Aphrodite
Caroline - Nyx
Annie - Poseidon - Complete with Ahab beard
Fionn absolutely killed with his spot-on Erebus impersonation but the breakout performance was Annie's performance as Poseidon, it was surprisingly compassionate and poignant.
The Olympians Sketch:
The Awesomeness of The Olympians
Ruined horribly by Erebus with mean spiritedness
Episode 8 - Continued - 20th June
Fionn and Zeus arm wrestle: Zeus is weakened by being on earth making it more of an even match.
However, he was still stronger than Fionn. Fionn applied all his will to winning, sweating and fighting through pain as it felt his muscles and tendons would snap from the force of Zeus's arm.
Zeus said “Put an end to this boy, know your place.”
Fionn said: “This is my place!” And slammed Zeus’s hand down.
Musical numbers:
Jean Ralphio- a surprise - Puttin On The Ritz
Rachel - Barbara Streisand Number- Rain On My Parade - a contender for Fionn's least favourite song of all time, but she did sing very well.
Troy- Fight for your right to Party
While planning the songs with study group up in Fionn’s room some new faces arrived:
A woman looking a bit like Linda Hamilton in a Ripley from Aliens costume
Standing next to Jon Snyder - Dressed as Beau Duke
An individual wearing a white sheet standing next to Poseidon - bone socket visible through eyeholes in sheet - Hades.
A man in a pantomime horse costume - Sort of a sherriff on horse type thing - Fionn determined this to be Chiron, the greatest of the Centaurs.
An almost cherubic beautiful young man sitting near the stage - Above his head are four birds. Aengus.
A small figure on top of garage roof - there’s some big fat party animal type guys up there, the figure is chuckling at their stories up there
A figure in an excellent dog mask - Anubis?
Knocking at the door - two women - one dressed as sexy farmgirl, the other dressed as a fifties housewife from a tv sitcom. Demeter and Hera.
Jean Ralphio’s Song - Puttin’ on the ritz
Athena - Sang - Wuthering Heights
Rachel - Nobody Better Rain On My Parade
Aphrodite’s song - An original number. Seems to be going in a soulful, loving direction, then turns into oh my god you guys from legally blonde musical
Aphrodite educed Andrew Anderson somewhat, drove away Mercedes. Turns out she’s the daughter of Nyx.
Poseidon - Gilbert and Sullivan number, changing into Don’t Stop Me Now
Zeus- Heartrending version of Radio Gaga
Fionn and Deception went to the Gazebo to get high. They talked a long time and Fionn felt some kinship with her, she's stuck with her aspect too.
Via Deception Soulgaze Fionn saw the path through the razorblade forest of Tartarus, a gift from her as one day he would have to traverse that forest.
Fionn soulgazed wtih Erebus - Fionn saw Nothing
Erebus told the story of his scion’s conception
Deception dedicated a song to Fionn
Took Hermes, hades, zeusl posdeidon, andrew, rachel,
Deception- known to her family as Appie, or Apate
Fionn’s presents summary
Morrigan- Staff
Poseidon - Shell
Demeter - Ambrosia
Dionysus - A bottle of Swag
Erebus - Came to the party
Hera - the Truce
Deception/Appie - A way through the razor forest
Hermes - A description of a path to where Lucifer is held
Zeus - An enamel trophy case
Athena - A box of luck
Hades- Cheapskate
That night Hera came to Fionn, referring to him only by the name Godkiller. She vowed to have Lucifer released if Fionn would stop all hostilities with The House of Erebus and lay down his arms. Fionn regretfully refused the offer, saying he had yet to have the chance to look his father in the eye and if he took that deal, he never could.
Hera said he slapped away the offer of a truce because of his bloodthirstiness, but Fionn explained that he couldn’t lay down his arms because he was Clearwater’s protector, it was his sacred duty.
Hera said that she would include that in the truce. So the terms became:
Fionn would lay down his arms and in return:
Hera would negotiate the release of Lucifer.
She would guarantee the sanctity of Clearwater
Should anyone from any house threaten Clearwater or Fionn’s loved ones, the truce would be broken.
Jenny Swanson arrived at the party and her and Fionn went to his room to talk. A moment occurred.
The night ended with Erebus and Fionn playing truth or dare.
Fionn dared Erebus to release his father and Erebus refused so Fionn got a free truth.
He asked Erebus who he feared most: Apollo
He asked him what he feared most that Fionn might do, and Erebus said: Stop killing gods
Erebus left and Fionn heard a bubbling, choking sound. He flew to the woods and found Apollo dying. He tried to fly him up towards the sun to regain his strength but he couldn’t save him. Apollo died in his arms as he flew, and turned to dust.
===Season 2 Episode 9 - The Lonesome Death of Pecos Bill===
{C
Fionn woken next morning after Halloween party by knock at the door.
Two very annoyed people Morton and Madison McCoy - The neighbours who were away and their yard was commandeered when the party expanded. A couple of yuppie types.
They want two things:
Repair everything
Volunteer with Neighbourhood Watch to clean up neighbourhood after Halloween
Fionn agreed to all this, but Study Group volunteered with him so it wasn’t such a drag
Morrigan returned home briefly to pick up some stuff and for the first time Fionn saw how her war goddess aspect was proud of her son’s battle victories.
Tuatha De Danaan - They’ve been seduced by Saint Patrick, they believe Lucifer is indeed their enemy. They won’t be any help in the coming battle.
Fionn talked to Mercedes a lot, she wants to reject the calling to be Eris. She was bullied and made miserable through early life and then turned that outward, but she doesn’t want to live that way anymore. Mercedes was pretty broken hearted about Andrew straying with Aphrodite - Fionn had noticed but didn’t tell her that his mother’s bed had Aphrodite’s scent on it and he put two and two together- but she resolved to give Andrew another chance, at least to redeem himself.
Andrew came to see Fionn, it’s the first time he’s ever messed up. Fionn listened and when Andrew went off to apologize to Mercedes, Fionn considered giving him some Fate to help him along, but decided he’d had that all his life and what he really needed was to discover what kind of person he was when things didn’t go his way.
Classic Corvin: “Did you fuck Aphrodite in my mom’s bed?”
Nancy - freaked out and used fire after severe taunting by Erlich Cartmensch. Fionn put out the fire and brought her to his home that evening to talk. She didn’t know who she was and he promised to help her find out.
Nancy and Fionn - planning party for Ducky. - Amusement park
Agent Walker came to Fionn and apologized for having him locked up.
Next day Fionn went to the mall to pick up some stuff, ran into some Armed Forces recruiters, ended up having a talk with Uncle Sam. Sam told him that Pecos Bill, the God of Cowboys, was coming to kill Fionn and all the other scions, because he can’t abide foreigners with power on American soil. He cautioned Fionn that Pecos Bill had killed 62 scions over the years.
Cord Van Graff wanted to help with Pecos Bill, Fionn refused and Cord got angry, saying it was just because he was in a wheelchair. Fionn told him in good humour that he knew better than that, and reminded him that when he had to face Mammon, Cord was who he brought with him. Cord said he wanted to be put out in the field and Fionn said he couldn’t, but eventually realized he wanted Cord’s help protecting the other Scions. He asked Cord to keep an eye on them all, said he actually was putting him into the field with that task.
Fionn went to school, found that the Study Group was going to get moved to a supply closet and they’d have to lose a member... because Erlich Cartmensch had started another study group and they were getting the room now.
The others were livid but Fionn figured it’s just a room and put it on the back burner due to some of the other stuff he was dealing with.
Troy brought Fionn to the western end of the running track and behind some bushes and a chainlnk fence they found a trampoline. Fionn and Troy spent a couple of days blissed out from this. During this:
A cougarette who Kat regarded as her rival on the other study team started a sexy car wash raising thousands of dollars for the volunteer centre Kat works at
Erlich Cartmensch told Fionn that he and the reporter in his study group - a very Tracey Flick type - had a big scoop for tomorrow. - Rachel Berry fire alarm
Fionn didn’t mind any of it, he was so relaxed from the trampoline.
The next morning he found the scoop was that Rachel Berry had set off a fire alarm to avoid a math test and the paper was publishing pictures.
Troy’s -or maybe Fionn’s?- opposite number in the other study group found the trampoline and reported it.
Getting into school Fionn found that an anonymous tip had been called in that Nancy Downs was an illegal immigrant. The police were on their way. Leslie Knope apologized and said she’d try to delay the police so Nancy and her folks could get out of town.
Fionn delayed the police with a call to Kermit and talked to her folks a little, they let Nancy stay for a couple of days so she could go to Ducky’s party.
Fionn found the tip had been made by Agent Walker, Fionn confronted him but found Walker had actually called it in to protect her, she’s a scion herself and he knew Pecos Bill would be gunning for her.
The party went on, it was a roaring success and Ducky and Nancy got engaged.
Eddie brought Fionn to talk to Freija, who pledged support in the coming battle. Fionn was pretty stoked to have a Valkyrie on his side.
Finally the time for the battle with Pecos Bill was approaching, so Fionn asked Eddie to gather everyone so all the Scions were together, in case Pecos Bill got past him. Cord went along, protecting the perimeter with a sniper rifle.
Agent Walker came to say goodbye to Ducky who was eloping with Nancy to Mexico. Walker told Fionn that he’d seen Riku Murakami in a hospital bed, lying half-dead after trying to protect Noriko, who was killed by Pecos Bill.
Fionn went to his old farm, dug up a wooden box, broke open the locks and took out his weapons, laid down for the truce.
Armed, he stood at the edge of his family land to wait for Pecos Bill.
Before they battled Fionn soulgazed and saw that Bill had sprung up to embody the worst aspects of America, he also saw the murder of Noriko.
They fought, Bill trying to use his lasso snake to trick Fionn but Fionn diving aside, whipping out the chain scythe to sever Bill’s right hand. Bill drew and fired with his left. Fionn’s skill was now great enough to sometimes be able to deflect Bill’s bullets, but a couple got through injuring Fionn.
Bill went inside the house and fired from there, Fionn flew around the house to watch.
Bill jumped out of the top floor window, gun blazing. Fionn was hit once but managed to drive the scythe through him, nailing him to the side of the house. Fionn used his wings to steady himself, planted his feet either side of Bill and began to choke the life from him. Bill’s snake flew through the air and wrapped around Fionn, biting him, but since killing Pestilence Fionn had become immune to poisons and for a while ignored the snake bites, finally taking his hand from the scythe for a moment to reach up and snap the thing’s neck.
Bill told Fionn “You can’t kill me, I’m the God of America!”
Fionn replied “And I am the Godkiller,” finally accepting the name, as he tightened his grip and watched the light go out of Pecos Bill’s eyes. His first true murder.
===Season 2 Episode 10 - The Deadbeats Rockulate Tokyo===
July 4th 2011
News report on the radio dedicated to ‘a japanese student visciously gunned down in a random assault. Also an older japanese man, unrelated, is in critical condition at the local hospital.’
Report continues: they had to draft in an expert from Seattle to deal with his wounds.
Clearwater has more darkness than is natural. It feels like depth of winter even though it’s only early November. Light is incredibly weak when it does shine.
In the next couple of days, effect intensified.
Riku Murakami woke from coma, started creating havok. Fionn barely talked him out of committing Hara Kiri, and even then only temporarily. He had to agree to accompany Riku to the homeland of Noriko’s parents, help him deliver her ashes.
They went with The Deadbeats on their plane to Japan. Job worked very hard to learn a single sentence of Japanese. Daphne was extremely nervous, afraid nobody would want to see them.
The plane was shook by storms as they flew, which Riku said were not surprising, they were Noriko’s family.
They landed and there were hundreds of fans shouting “Deadabeatu Rocku!” Which made Daphne more nervous. Fionn said to her that she’d worried nobody would want to see them... but she said she thought Simon Prince paid them.
He admitted he did indeed pay plants to show up and shout, but he only paid 4 people.
Job stepped out to give his speech, couldn’t quite do it. He became anxious about performing. Daphne stepped in, she’d been sitting near them when they drilled the phrase many many times. She delivered it perfectly. She was amazed/disturbed/flattered to see Daphne groupies who dressed exactly like her.
Riku and Fionn split from the band to go off and do Riku’s duty. They went to an area off the beaten track in Tokyo, found a less-gaudy bar amid the Blade Runner-esque display of neon.
Riku walked in first but Fionn was detained by some Yakuza. Once this would have been terrifying and insurmountable to the younger Fionn. But by now Fionn’s training and experience were more than a match for them, they never even laid a hand on him as he knocked them all out, killing none of them .
In a wallet he found a business card: Mr Stefan Van Der Haas Graacht.
The man had reach, Fionn had to give him that.
He went in to find Riku greeting Sephiroth, they greeted like brothers. Sephiroth knew who Fionn was and wasn’t very impressed, but he did agree to give some advice on how not to get torn to shreds in the world of The Amatsukami. He said if he could journey to the stronghold of Shinzaimon and impress him he may stand a chance of being vouched for and thus surviving his mission among the gods of Nippon.
He warned that demons would be trying to eat the ashes of Noriko to gain her power.
Fionn set off with Riku. Soon they heard the buzzing of bees, swarms of them started to appear. Fionn used his cold control to create a perimiter of arctic cold around them. The bees buzzed around it but couldn’t quite survive the cold so stayed outside. A demon appeared, trying to take Fionn by surprise. Fionn created his first ice-weapon- a sword. He killed the demon with it, and then another with the face of a many-toothed raccoon.
But in the distance they could hear heavy footfalls of something very large, coming their way.

Falling into a Yakuza poker game, the Yakuza were gracious about the interruption, pausing their game as Fionn killed the demon.

Message from Noriko via Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - She wants to again experience her homeland before passing on {C
Fionn and Noriko went on a little journey through the city, Fionn seeing her in reflections and advertisements.
Went to tea shop- drank tea and ate rhubarb pie
Went to a Dress Shop and held up dresses near advertisements that Noriko was inhabiting, letting her see herself.
Went to the park and her ashes took form, Fionn pushed her on a swing.
{C
Fionn went to Shinzaimon, a legendary mortal who had apparently reached the Tao.
He had Fionn wear his way through a tree with only his fists, warning him he would lose something in doing so. Fionn lost a level of darkness power.
Then Shinzaimon gave Fionn a zen koan to work on.
He said a very wise man was once confronted by a fool who resented his wisdom. He held a tiny bird in his closed hand and said “Is this bird alive or dead?”
The wise man said the man had the power of life or death over the bird and walked away.
Shinzaimon asked Fionn: was the bird alive or dead? Fionn said that telling the man he had the power over it and then walking away would anger it, so he would kill the bird.
Shinzaimon asked what he should have said. Fionn said he should have asked him to spare the bird.
Shinzaimon said that the wise man had no power over the fool so he could not make him spare the bird, and he had also failed to show his wisdom.
Fionn said if he cared that much about the bird he shouldn’t care about showing his wisdom. Shinzaimon said that sometimes a wise man knows he must flatter a fool. {C
Fionn said though that to walk away from the man showed contempt which would enrage him. Shinzaimon asked again what Fionn thought the wise man should have said. {C
Fionn said he should have said to the man “I do not know the answer to your question. Now that I admit this, will you spare the bird?” Thus giving up his pride and need to prove wisdom.
With that Fionn felt a great cleansing and sense of relief. He didn’t regain the darkness level, but gained two untainted levels of power.
Shinzaimon said Fionn had passed and he would bless the Urn. Fionn gave it to him but a fox came to the door and Fionn realized his mistake when it warned him. He turned and saw Shinzaimon about to inhale the ashes. He flew into battle with Shinzaimon, striking at him furiously and then beheading him.
The fox spirit revealed she was there in Clearwater when Fionn saved her from the four horsemen. She apologized for peeing in his car.
She and Fionn and Riku went to a warehouse at the docklands and they were confronted by the most magnificent thing Fionn had ever seen: A gigantic blue dragon which Fionn recognized as Susano-O.
Fionn was granted access to where Amaterasu was weeping. She said no visitors. Fionn said he was no visitor. She said then he was an enemy. Fionn said he was no enemy, but an envoy.
She realized this meant he was the envoy of her daughter and talked to him. She said she would take Noriko away from this place. Fionn had doubts but it was Riku who said it was wrong. Amaterasu agreed to ask Noriko. She asked her and found that she wanted to defend Tokyo.
Fionn took her ashes to the playground and with Riku he scattered them. She took a form that was her own but in the colours of neon. Fionn told her he thought Riku should stay to help her defend Tokyo and he said his goodbyes.
More gigs were cancelled for the Deadbeats and Fionn tracked the interference to Van Der Haas Graacht. He impersonated him on the phone to his cat’s paw in Tokyo and booked a massive concert in the Budokan, complete with the best catering imaginable and a massive budget for last-minute promotion to generate ticket sales.
The Deadbeats played an incredible gig, Fionn guested to sing his signature tune, and the Deadbeats and Ryu had another playoff that blew the roof off (leaving Van Der Haas Graacht to pay the bill).
They left Tokyo taking Ryu with them, completely smitten with Daphne.
Prince was starting to crack here.
On the plane flying over Tokyo, Fionn saw Noriko face a giant demon. She squeezed its nose and it exploded in beautiful fireworks, Noriko waved to Fionn.
Noriko graduated early.

Season 2 Episode 11 - July 15th 2011 “The Nymph”
Back from Japan
Back a few days, knock at the door at 07.30
Member of the Neighbourhood Watch/ Homeowner’s Association - Presenting a petition saying the new subsitute teacher is of unsuitable character: Ms Me.
Job outside home economics was incredibly tired and hadn’t done his homework. He had a strange folk tune he couldn’t get out of his head.
Fionn and Job met her in Home Economics and she reduced them to gibbering fools. Job fell off his chair, Fionn managed to stretch the syllable “uhhhhh” for over thirty seconds.
She turned out to be a great home ec teacher, showed them how to make a Souffle. She let Fionn lick the spoon which almost caused him to have a cardiac arrest. After class she talked Fionn and Job (With little difficulty) into hanging out behind the school and getting high and drinking JD with her. They cut the rest of the day and then walked her to her ride- the school bus.
Fionn went with Cord to give in his entry for the school playwriting competition, and when Fionn returned from that he found a junior with a message from Ms Me: was he going to be taking the school bus?
Fionn accepted his fate and went to the school bus and sat with her until his stop.
The next day he auditioned for and got the lead part in the school play: {C
A Town Called Loneliness
Lloyd White P.I. - Fionn
Kitty O’Day - Rachel Berry
Caroline - Nightclub Singer - Ruby
Jean Ralphio - Richard Dick O’Toole
Kat - Moxie Hepburn
Erlich Cartmensch: "You know, Fionn, I'm going to be in the school play."
Fionn Corvin: "What, are they putting on a production of Don't Look Now?"
The play started playing out in segments, a couple of pages a time. Everyone was instructed to stay in character so Fionn got himself a fedora and undertook to keep it on for the duration.
He went to see Ms Me at her home when the play’s pages told him it was time to go see the dame who was trouble. He sensed she was trying to get him to open up and talk, and she did a distracting dance, asking him to forget the war. This of course rang alarm bells for Fionn both in and out of character. Her seduction could be messing with the case but it could also be disrupting his plans to put an end to Erebus.
When she went to the little girls room he found a door key hidden inside a hollow diary.

Woke up tied to a chair - Erlich Cartmensch and heavies there. Erlich left the heavies to work Fionn over, Fionn promptly gave them a taste of two-fisted private eye justice and left.
Miss Me had a beauty parlour 20 years ago. Fionn investigated it, found that she’d been murdered there. The key from the diary fit the door. {C
He found for generations, 17 year old boys had been going missing in town, usually introverted or inexperienced boys. It was pointing towards Ms Me.
Fionn went to see Ms Me to confront her about the disappearances of the 17 year old boys. She said she only gave them happiness and often they used their newfound confidence to leave town. She and Fionn soulgazed and he saw her like a doe constantly hunted by people with a star on them, some kind of badge.
Fionn trusted her because he couldn’t bear to hurt her.
Mrs HAtcher the old lady who controlled the Triumvirate was murdering 17 year old boys after Melia gave them her gift. She even hunted them out of town.
Fionn took Brother Shamus Jean-Ralphio out of town to a motel, they called the cops to lay in wait. {C
Fionn got the police to apprehend her as she was attacking him and Jean Ralphio. This meant the Triumvirate lost a lot of ground and Mrs Me was reinstated.
Mrs Hatcher - “Who’s going to protect Clearwater now, you?”
Something that Fionn found: The star symbol was rife in Clearwater and it was bad news.
Zeus’s son who’d been Cord’s mentor and got Cord hurt, the Neighbourhood watch, the Winter family

Season 2 Episode 12 - Saturday 16th July - Paintball Episode
Thanksgiving week - Tuesday
Artemis called Fionn to a meeting with Zeus, Hera and Erebus. They said they’d already decided the terms and agreed the truce, Fionn said this was impossible as he wasn’t present. They didn’t even seem to know what he meant by that.
They told him he must release Death to sit on Apollo’s throne as an envoy of Erebus and Fionn refused. Erebus must release his father. Erebus revealed Lucifer had agreed to 1,000 years captivity so his word kept him there. Fionn was certain he had agreed that in return for something, something Erebus no doubt welched on. So he said that his father would be free once he’d killed Erebus and laid his entire kingdom to waste, so there was nothing to worry about.
The meeting ended badly. Zeus banished Fionn from Olympus.
Athena and Artemis explicitly declared themselves allies to Fionn.
Paintball Bet with Erlich Cartmensch - If Study Group lose, they lose the room. If they win, he has to leave town.

Into the game came 40 hired goons on behalf of possibly the local community College? And led by an Alan Rickman type villain. (Hans Gruber) - Later discovered he’s school superintendant.
He said study group costs 35 dollars every time they use the room. The paintball group were enthusiasts who are mainly ex eastern european special forces.
Fionn and Job were ambushed by an automaton which dogged them in various battles throughout the day until finally Fionn disabled it. That night Cord convinced Fionn to spare its life as it was Talos himself, the legendary automaton. Fionn spared him because he believes him to be sentient.
Ron Swanson came to settle the score, he had a showdown with Calamity Jane and defeated her. He and Fionn had a quickdraw showdown of their own which Fionn won.
Finally Fonz/Annie walked towards Fionn but gave the signal of an ambush: she double-tapped the ground. Cartman stepped out from behind her, telling Fionn he’d won because he had the girl.
Fionn gave Annie the signal “Fonzie, Jump the Shark!” and she leapt off to the side (Both sisters are highly accomplished high divers) causing Erlich to try to swing his weapon around to her but Fionn shot him in the side of the head. Erlich let off a round but missed Annie. She then hit the ground, shot him a few times in the belly. Fionn thought why not and shot him a few times too.
Eric said he wasn’t leaving town because they hadn’t sealed the bet by shaking hands. Fionn warned him not to break an oath to him and Eric offered his hand to seal the bet. Fionn went to shake and Eric tried to explode a paint grenade. Fionn grabbed the grenade, put it down Eric’s pants and dived over a bush with Annie.
They rolled and when they stopped Fionn was over Annie. She looked up at him and kissed him, and after a long kiss she said “I think I’m in love.”
She was then grateful for the distraction “Oh good, a distraction!” when the Dean walked up to them and asked them to get Prince to pay for all the damages. Fionn said they’d fix it themselves, Prince is more than just a checkbook.
Threads - Andrew wants to be a bit cool
Mercedes came to Fionn as Mercy - looking to find Marjorie May, - missing saying she didn’t want to be found.

Season 2 Episode 13 - Saturday 16th July Anansi
Talos is awake. Fionn determined he had no memories previous to this mission so felt okay about using his reset switch.
Identified Cord, Fionn and Brandon as allies and Talos took note of this. Brandon said it would take some time to get Talos up and running properly.
Simon Prince’s Thanks-Receiving party
Fionn getting the feeling Prince is kind of depressed.
Discovered he’s no longer trying to get into the junior chamber of commerce.
Dewey Kiesling showed up at Study Group and asked Fionn’s help, he’s got a new bud he’s selling and it is magical in nature. It was a bright green with an oily texture. They smoked some and Fionn found it reminiscent of the honey Melia gave him. He and Dewey got super high and drove around for three hours failing to find a trampoline.
Fionn took it to Melia to investigate, which meant they got high, drove around for hours looking for a trampoline (Fionn explained: “The good news is I already spent three hours this morning trying to find a trampoline, so that’s time in the bank” ), Fionn eventually called the Dean as Hans Gruber demanding to view it, it was in the Dean’s garden. They spent a couple of hours on the trampoline, Fionn showed Melia the bud and she said it was not Nicaraguan as Dewey had been told, but Haitian.
Fionn accompanied Dewey to see his new supplier, a man with a sack cloth bag covering his head and revealing only one eye. The man was intimidating and told Fionn a story about a Gnat that stung the king of the jungle on the nose and felt very powerful and strong, so much so that he didn’t notice himself flying into a spider web.
Fionn asked him if he could tell him what the spider web was, but the man said there were spiders all around.
Fionn thanked him for the advice and left with Dewey, certain they had just met a Loa.

Season 2 episode 14 - Sunday 7th August 2011 - A Very Special Episode, Large Marge, Squad Training
Artemis talking to Fionn from her perch by the window, still at the treehouse
Apate came and apologized that Morpheus couldn’t be there. He would have liked to be there but he can’t, he's laying low so that Erebus doesn't become suspicious.
Fionn went looking for Elderberry wine for Apate, spoke to Dewey, Dewey gave him an amazing red and orange weed.
Fionn heard crying in the woods. Found the fruit in the area was picked at a height of about nine feet. He saw a crying woman of about nine feet in height. She was clothed in bin bags. Fionn went and got a Goliath robe to clothe her before she saw him, and returned to offer it.
“Thank you,” She said with a voice that could only emanate from a five foot two woman. Fionn recognized her as Marjorie.
Marjorie is a mean Cougarette. She doesn't realize she's mean, but that's how Fionn remembers her. So he asked her to describe people he knows:
Annie Edison- Rebel Wannabe
Eddie Eckstein- ‘Metal’ in dumb voice
Freija Eckstein - “Oh please” in dumb voice
He said he'd look into her problem but didn't feel very sorry for her.
Fionn spotted Rachel’s note - “He doesn’t know” - the note apparently about him.
Spoke to Mercy, she said Marge needs to face the ridicule.
Fionn asked Marjorie what she’d think of someone like her, she said:
Would it be cheaper to use a car wash, do you get a concession at the gym, how can you stand to have people look at you, how would you tell a guy you liked him, must be a bitch on food bills, how do you get people to like you, will your friends still accept you, will Andrew notice you?
Fionn brought Marjorie to the Half Moon
Brought her through school, asking people what was the meanest thing they ever heard her say. She was horrified and contrite at the things she'd said.
Fionn left Marjorie in the Auditorium
Jenny Swanson told Fionn she may be pregnant but she was afraid to take a test
Fionn went and bought a test, Jenny was nervous about taking it. They watched a movie instead, then another, they hung out for a whole day just watching movies and talking. When the evening came she took the test and wasn't pregnant, Fionn told her the scare was a gift because it gave them this time together as friends again.
Went to abandoned Camp for training

Fionn discovered the root of Marge's curse: She was insolent to Zeus in mortal form.
Fionn met with Zeus who agreed to have the curse lifted from Large Marge.
On maneuvers with the Squad, Fionn pulled Apate to safety from some flechette dart traps, rolling over the ground coming to rest together, which caused them to share a moment. He saw past every disguise to see her real form, slightly green-tinged but still beautiful. The intensity of the experience spooked Fionn and since then he has been polite and formal with her and avoided being alone with her.
Fionn discovered Erebus was watching him with flies, from the box he’d given him as a supposed gift from Zeus.

Sticks -playing incredibly well and faster and faster
Fionn and Job - standoff about Apate and April. Fionn unwilling to admit he may have feelings for Apate, Job unwilling to admit he definitely has feelings for April.
Sticks has created many many many band ideas lately. Too many.
Turns out Sticks has sold his soul to Satan, in return for talent and fame. Sticks will die at 27.
Fionn decided it was time to visit Hell, sort all this out.
Maria’s advice about Hell:
they trade in souls
A prince’s power is measured in the number of souls under his command.
Satan - pretended he gave what was already there
Prince ’s folly - the ruins of his mansion
Met Jean-Ralphio there, with a single white rose in his hand
In Limbo: Found Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Saladin and others in deep debate. Fionn asked them to consider that they were here of their own free will. At this point they stood and left. Satan's soldiers tried to stop them but Fionn held the way open.
Second circle of hell- the circle of lust, the city of Asmodeus. Neon, bright lights, sleazy saxophone,
Accosted by a pimp-demon called Murmur. Fionn explained he is the Godkiller and perhaps Murmur should leave him alone.
Third level of hell - tundra of vile freezing slush, men and women as large as walruses, house of Beelzebub.
Fourth circle of hell - teams of people crashing heavy weights together, scrambling in the dirt, a place of avarice and the miserly, home of Mammon.
Fionn visited Belph, found him accosted for rent. Met Pyro, an enforcer/collector for Mammon.
Fifth Circle of hell - the wrathful.
The wrathful standing on the shoulders and heads of the Sullen, who choke upon the river Stix
Satan gave Fionn Elderberry Wine.
Fionn met the Red Right Hand, Satan’s champion
Satan made them guests at his castle for the night, he said he’d organize a revelry of the damned and they would meet at the ninth circle
Sixth circle - Skyscraper tombs, brimstone and fire, the land of the heretics.
Seventh Circle - The Land of Violence - a foul smelling place with a violent side
Outer ring - most violent people are in a boiling river of fire and blood
Gnarled forest of hedges and trees, all grey. Trees with blood inside their rotten branches. Suicides.
Inner circle, fiery desert, Fionn had to form an ice dome to protect Sticks.
Eighth Circle - Fraud. The closest resemblance to life aboveground. A gloomy city that could be a strange mix of chicago and new orleans. Gloomy men and women in capes of lead.
Mephistopheles said Fionn was here to see Leviathan
Bar in an alley - World’s End
First drink is on the house - Fionn paid anyway
Leviathan: “So you’re the wonder kid’
Fionn: “That’s a new one”

Antenora - Traitors to city or country
Ptolemeia - After Ptolemy -
Gothic Stadium - legions of demonkind, millions
Seven empty thrones
Herald signals the arrival of Mammon - his people have diamond cufflinks and tie pins

(Fionn’s epiphany - friendship is rare in hell)
Fionn took Lucifer’s seat without asking or being asked
Leviathan beside Fionn
Belph beside Leviathan
Satan’s seat is a couple of seats from Fionn
The final seat, Adolf Hitler
Fionn executed him, threw his severed head to the crowd
Eddie’s gonna love this, Fionn thinks to himself
They offered a meal of spiders: “After I killed Anansi with my bare hands, I had my fill of spiders.”
On stage: The 27 Club
Leviathan revealed Satan had been sitting in Lucifer’s throne for 20 odd years.
Mammon brought out Lillin to dance
Fionn interrupted it with a song, Sympathy For The Devil, singing with The 27 Club.
Mammon suggested a game of cards with Fionn’s souvenirs vs his stakes
Death’s Belt Buckle vs Belf’s Deed
War’s Scythe vs Simon Prince’s Soul
Anansi’s Still-Poisoned Fang - Keys to the Hearse
Fionn won all of these back.
Satan - Bring the Contestants
A young woman in armor, with breathtaking stoicism and palpable fear

Season 2 Episode 16 - August 12th 2011 Hell part 2
Fionn wakes shackled with his hands behind him, in utter darkness. He could see bars.
He could hear footsteps, see a spotlight opening, see the demon Murmur.
The Game -
Verity LeBon
The Dark Angel
Stalkers -
The Puritan
Deja Vu
Dagon - Baker of Hell - Angling for power, outside Beelzebub’s orders.
Satan’s Champion - The Red Right Hand - Fionn Soulgazed with him, saw him killing more than a million people.
Stepping through the door into the game, Fionn found himself in a boarded up cafe covered in a fine layer of ash, a shadowy version of Clearwater.
Fionn took first stand in an alley way, using superfine lines of ice to create a trap for a set of Morlock type creatures attacking
3 sliced, one with Fionn’s Ice Sickle pulling it
a further five sliced from the other direction
one made it through the ice trap, launched at Fionn, {C
Chain Swing Double Execution
Met Verity LeBon
Classic Corvin ‘What is it about you prim religious people that you make everything about sex’
Verity: “You may not be like them, but you are scruffy, and a scoundrel!”
Fionn took Verity into The Cave through an entrance that had once been an upper fire door, torn down by Eddie for firewood one cold night.
Fionn impaled The Puritan on the Principal’s trophy case and beheaded him guillotine style with a sheet of glass
Proserpine came and met them, saying ‘Come with me’ and winking at Fionn
She led them to Study Group room, full of S&M chicks, The Sisters Of The Whip
When Lucifer went away from Hell he left Lilith on his throne, an ally.
Meridiana believes Lilith was killed and Asmodeus filmed it.
Fionn killed the Red Right Hand.
“Red Right Hand is one of my father’s many names. It was never his. I’ve taken it back.”
Fionn convinced The Dark Angel to join with him and Verity to escape
They brought the three keys to the studio where they made The Voyeur help them broadcast the murder of Lilith by Asmodeus to all of Hell.
Fionn gave a public service Announcement with guitars, with the help of The Sisters Of The Whip. Fionn announced Satan and Asmodeus’s lives were forfeit and Mammon and Beelzebub got a pass -for now.
They went to the arena where Fionn and Leviathan went into battle for the first time, Inspiration and Experience combining with awe-inspiring effects. Fionn leapt at Satan, grabbing his horns, headbutting him and then driving him back onto his spiked throne, pushing his head back so his neck was impaled on it.
Verity, who had sold her soul to Satan in an attempt to trick and destroy him, asked to look into his eyes as Fionn finished him. Fionn strangled him, as Leviathan easily killed Asmodeus.
Fionn then executed Murmur, explaining that this was how he would treat any who disrespected his mother.
They placed Belph in charge so that Leviathan could go off with Fionn to join the Squad, Lillin tagging along.
Fionn announced that Hell had many things, but for too long it had been without hope, no more.
Fionn declared “With Belph as my witness, I will never throw another sausage-fest shindig!”
They rode out of hell in Fionn’s reclaimed hearse, outfitted with parts of the bikes of the Four Horsemen.

Fionn (Getting right up in his face, speaking in a harsh low voice) “I think we both know it’s a little bit of both.”
Passed months in Hell - THE MONTAGE
The Squad spent three months training in Hell, based in Castle Fronkenschteen.
Squad Developments
Modi is always a struggle to get to follow orders
Sergeants: Artemis , Cord , Eddie , Polydora of the Amazons
Complicits: Ryu , Freija
Mother Hen: Andrew , Biff, Barbie
Straggler: Barbie,
Leviathan wasn’t sure about Barbie and Polydora full-on didn't believe she had what it took. Barbie had to fight Polydora. Fionn practiced relentlessly with her for weeks. She fought Polydora to prove herself and won.
Barbie standing over Polydora:
Modi also unsure, Fionn said to Modi (while headbutting him) “If you can’t watch their backs, you don’t deserve to fight by their side.”
Fionn had to prove himself to the four Amazons, they put him through many trials some of which were quite hair-raising.
Leviathan - always very Melancholic
Lillin - has gravitated towards crafting incredible food even from the barest essentials
She plays the three string bow - Geisha instrument
She’s very sheltered, she has no sense of her own value.
Her area is the Kitchen
Something subtly violent about her - a surgical precision in her use of the knife
Fionn spent time with her and Barbie to try to give her an example of a very beautiful object of desire that has escaped being purely sexualized
Barbie and Lillin have developed more closeness, they’re in some ways two sides of the same coin
Barbie kind of becoming a bit of an older sister to Lillin.
Biff - Has developed a bit of a Talos thing, with not quite as much potential. Sometimes does his own thing now.
Andrew - He’s in denial. The place has really cramped his style, he treats it like a dormitory. He’s very workaday and studious.
Fionn has shown him a lot of what’s changed in Hell.
This has caused Andrew’s subtle Yahweh loyalty to diminish a little.
Dutch - going through a bit of an ‘awkward phase’. Sort of troublesome teen esque now.
Bit of a rebel streak in him. Cord: “He gets that from you”
Developed a slight sense of humour, he has a touch of awkwardness.
He tends to announce his ‘mode’
Cord- Has developed an incredibly professional relationship with his mother, there’s a bit of awkwardness. They have started to use militaristic terms as affection. Over the three months it goes from Corporal, to Private, to NCO to Officer, to Soldier.
Fionn building the unspoken friendship with Cord.
Frieja - Fionn talking to Frieja a lot about sisterhood. Fionn feels guilty about his desire to have an encounter with Sigrun.
Freija and Boyka - Subject of gossip. Leviathan has a problem with the idea of it.
Boyka - Kind of a poetic soul. Kind of a star student to Leviathan. His fatalism appeals to Leviathan.
Ryu - Kind of like Cadbury minus the duty. Obliging without obligation.
Leviathan- Kind of like an old fashioned tough guy in his relating to women.
Polydora and The Amazons - The Amazons sleep outside. Eddie said it’s like the kennel, but they don’t take offense.
Polydora - The Cynic of the group. She lost her eyes, woke up one day with her eyes missing. She suspects a curse but doesn’t know who’s responsible.
Eddie - Tears down a banner. “This wall shall remain naked. Alright alright I’m just trying to get through this. This wall will remain nude... until we all return, and we will craft a tapestry telling the tale of our adventure.”
A lot of Squad parties
Motives
Leviathan has said that he’s in debt to Fionn and that is enough for him. He also has unfinished business with Lucifer. Fionn has figured out that Leviathan knows that Lillin may be his half-sister.
An abandoned boat moving into Hell
A shadowy facsimile of Erebus
Erebus cackling about sending a message through Fionn to Satan , Fionn didn’t let on that Satan is dead.
Erebus offering Fionn to take his father’s place at his side and he will release him.
Erebus’s shadow has a terrible stench, it takes his pettiness forth into the world
Apate ’s shadow power - the scent of a midnight forest
Erebus told Fionn that Mammon was working for him
The Belph decreed a gate at the entrance of Hell barring the Stix from entry.
Hell Government
Belph as figurehead, affecting through attitude
Proserpine is authority like Secretary of State
Fionn has kicked over Satan’s throne and claimed his own (Nickname: Snow)
Lillin has right to a throne due to Lilith’s throne
The Castle
Castle Fronkenschteen
Quite Brutal Legend
Barbie’s Area - quite verdant, a lot of hanging plants
Leviathan’s area - always kind of like a dive bar, complete with piano
Leviathan and Lillin - a little bit beauty and the beast

Roman style magnificent Camp
Slight touch of it being like a Circus Group
Eddie has a store-bought camper’s tent
Cord has a magnificent bivouac, tarpaulin roof, two walls made of munitions, other two walls are of military surplus canvas
Communal area is like a large cabin
Ivan has a bedouin tent

Leviathan forbid anyone to use them
Fionn caught Barbie and Lillin using the trampoline.
Fionn talked to Henry of Party Down
Prince’s party - nobody came
Zelda’s party on Prince’s boat - roaring success
Christmas Comes Early Party - huge success
Mayor Meyer confessed to being the Prankster
Prince called for his resignation
Meyer falsified the records and never made people pay for the pranks, he paid for them all out of his own pocket.
Caught Billow the thief, she had been approached by Loki . He’s going to pull off the deadliest prank of all: give Erebus all information about the Squad as a precursor to Clearwater being overrun by his troops.
Killed Loki in the woods.

Leviathan came to make peace with Maria
Maria came to believe Lucifer had an affair with Lilith. She was already with him at that time.

Caroline - telling Fionn she aced the test
Morrigan sent Fionn to Ireland
Rachel in the seat beside Fionn
She’s going to see Aengus
Fionn sharing a room with Rachel (No funny business)
Saw Casser playing in The Long Hall
Usclas - Poet of the city
Usclas - One of four poets entrusted with the treasures of this country.
Usclas drove Fionn to the Hill of Tara
Went to the feast
Lugh , Mannannan , Danu , Brighid , Ogma
Then entered Nuada , Dunnacht
Dunnacht- Father of Lugh
On his knuckles- new bloody marks
They’re all into blessing the food, it was v. awkward
Lugh and Mannanan and others
Lugh’s take on things: “Nuada has been polluted by the mind of Yahweh ”
Lugh not taken in by this Christian madness. Nuada and Fionn almost came to blows over Nuada’s insistence on referring to his father as Satan .
Afterwards Brighid came to Fionn and asked him if it was true and they were really two different people, Lucifer and Satan.
Fionn went drinking with Lugh
He said St Patrick visits the hall of Tara regularly
Lugh said that Brighid was a child of innocence without two brain cells to rub together. Fionn said that Lugh was clever enough to know that Lucifer and Satan were not one and the same, but Brighid was clever enough to ask.
Freaky priest - He's everywhere. He was at the airport stealing Fionn's taxi.
Met Aengus at the International with Rachel
Aengus - flighty, half forgotten about Rachel
Amy, Laura, Aisling
Aengus told Rachel she’s not a nice person and she has no soul
Fionn took Rachel to Mulligans for a drink
Fistfight with 12 priests
Cigarette machine, small staircase down, drying glasses, old flintlock by the bar
Freaky Nun snapped the last Priest’s neck - A reminder of Erebus ’s influence. She disappeared when Rachel returned from the bathroom
Met The Committments in Steven’s Green, they challenged Rachel to sing with real soul. Olympia, tomorrow night.
Casser took Fionn to steal Nuada’s sword from the history museum.
Must sing the lyrics to Emerald while holding up the sword as the Solstice light breaks in the Hall. This will give the sword back its power.
Went to Tara for the Solstice, arrived to find St Patrick pushing Brighid’s face towards the fire as a heretic while The Tuatha De Danaan looked on, helpless or transfixed. Fionn used his chain-sickle to catch St Patrick’s hand, thus pulling Brighid to safety. St Patrick used a blast of Darkness power that Fionn recognized as coming from Erebus .
Fionn held Patrick’s arm in grapple using the chain while he raised the sword:
“Down from the glens came the MARCHING MEN!” he sang the lyrics to Emerald, then pulled St Patrick to him with the chain, lopping his head off with a single stroke.
The decapitated head rolled and when it came to a stop it said “When Erebus hears of this you are finished!”
Nuada was weak from the effects of the madness, Fionn could already see he had been under some kind of mind-controlling charm. (Interesting sidenote: If Lucifer had been there Nuada would have shrugged off the charm just by being in his presence due to Lucifer’s aura which disrupts Mind Control effects)
Fionn presented him with the sword, Nuada offered it to Fionn as a gift, saying he was not worthy. Fionn said he would be proud and glad to wield the sword but he would rather see it in Nuada’s hand.
He left the hall to find Brighid at the stream, in her distress and frustration she was turning the water to fire and back to water again. When next she turned it to water Fionn reached in a hand and came up with a handful of ice, which he wrapped in his torn shirt and gave to her to hold to her face. She was not burned, just some hair singed, but was in pain just the same.
He convinced her to come with him to Dublin and Lugh agreed to come too. They went to the Olympia and saw Rachel sing with real soul.
In the bathroom the freaky priest that had been dogging Fionn showed up standing beside him at the next urinal. He opened his mouth to speak but Fionn’s hand came up behind him and slammed him face first into the tiles, knocking him out cold. Fionn finished what he was there to do and walked out to the bar.
At the bar he met Aengus who told him no hard feelings about Rachel. Fionn said he hadn’t decided how he felt about his role in all this so he should for now just shut up about it. Aengus said he didn’t understand, his role in what? This made Fionn very suspicious - he had been absent from the Tuatha’s Hall, he could be an agent of Erebus- but Fionn decided he could also just be a dickhead rather than engaged in anything worthy of real suspicion. Aengus pushed the point a bit more acting like he had no idea what might be wrong and Fionn started to get very angry. He warned Aengus again and this time Aengus shut up and they parted ways.
Rachel slept beside Fionn that night, drooling slightly on his arm, waking up in the middle of the night to ask him if he thought Aengus was a jerk. Fionn said he was, she said that was all she needed to hear and went back to sleep soundly.
Season 2 Episode 18 Continued
Thurs 18th August 2011
Fionn woke to hear Rachel crying. She said “I’m not a good singer”
Perfectly set up bathroom scene with rose petals in bath
“I’m a GREAT singer.”
Rachel wants to put on a huge gig.
Fionn went with Casser to the hall of Tara
Manannan gave Fionn a cup he once gave to Cormac Mac Arth - it cracks at lies and mends at truth and gleams.
“Do you have a woman in your life that loves you?” Fionn said no, the cup cracked.
Fionn used it to test Aengus - He is definitely not an agent of Erebus.
Brighid’s face is burned on one side
Brighid wanted to show Fionn her two great treasures - two oxen
Nuada explained he lost his hand battling the Fomori
Brighid and Fionn talked, she has a rebellious streak and was hidden as Dian Cecht ’s apprentice as they made Nuada’s hand
Lugh was challenged by Bodg to prove his loyalty as he’s half Fomorian
Lugh and Fionn went to Ballymun to reclaim his steed from the Fomori
Master Plan Ballymun Fight
Swings, Merry Go Round, Slide, Sand Box, climbing wall
Fionn and Lugh fought and bluffed their way away with Lugh’s horse, returned to the Hall
Banshee came to the Hall and told Fionn that death would come for those he loves
Fionn talked to Brighid, she had actually been the hidden apprentice who helped Dian Cecht make Nuada’s hand. She spoke to Dian Cecht who tried to heal her face but it failed, they concluded it was a curse from Erebus, Yahweh or perhaps the Fomori.
Rachel wanted to put on another show to impress Aengus but also because Dublin seemed like kind of a downer. They put the word out and put on a huge free show in Phoenix Park.
Fionn jammed with Casser and their playing was the stuff of legend.
Casser brought out the Tuatha De Danaan on stage to be celebrated and Fionn could actually see them grow more magnificent as they were recognized.
Fionn had Brighid play with him and Casser and when they were down he led her, wearing her silver half-mask, to the front of the stage. He said “Tell me who could look upon this woman and not believe with all their heart in beauty?” The crowd cheered to celebrate her and the mask fell from her face, the curse lifted.
Fionn talked Brighid into coming to visit America with him, because she liked the Deadbeats music and he got the feeling her rebel spirit would do well away from her family for a while.
That night Rachel told Fionn that Aengus tried to explain to her he would always be young and he had to protect her from the heartbreak that meant. Fionn said “Ah, fuck” several times, realizing he’d been harsh on Aengus. Still though...
Casser dropped Fionn and Brighid to the Airport, Fionn got the feeling Casser was interested in Rachel but she was oblivious and only interested in Aengus.
She wrote him a letter before they boarded the plane, and then they were off back to Clearwater .

The Deadbeats Group Present - A partial-colour ice engraving album cover depicting the band jamming in The Cave as they’ve done a thousand times, their instruments patched up and often-repaired but magnificent.

===Season 2 Episode 23 part 2 - A Wedding In Asgard===
November 18th 2011
Fionn noticed Modi tends to get winded after a charge, like a bull
Realized that wings form robes of state in a way, from then on Fionn tends to show his wings when he's acting in an official way.
Jarl - Fionn suspected him of treachery - he’s a bit too Nazi for Fionn’s tastes- he was there when Fionn went to break out Cupid.
Fionn fought Jarl - Jarl said he’d be new king of Scandinavia.
Fionn talked to Cupid about Brunhilde - he loves her ‘beautiful voice’. They later heard her singing an even-worse version of Bonnie Tyler's I Need A Hero.
Draugur - challenged group to race. Fionn immune to fate, but the rest had to outrun him. Modi, not the greatest runner was straggling until Fionn shouted to him to take great leaps. With his incredible strength, Modi was able to take leaps of ten feet per stride.
Fionn and the others arrived at the wedding. Large glass wall, Cupid pummelled and shouted Brunhilde! Again and again, but nobody was really paying attention. Finally Eddie shattered the glass with a power chord.
Fionn revealed Jarl’s treachery, putting emphasis on the shame brought on the Aesir before by the National Socialists co-opting their legend to bolster their claim as conquerors of Europe.
This dissolved the wedding and the alliance with Erebus. Fionn could see Odin was terrified of him and what he represented and that was the only real reason for his alliance with Erebus in the first place.
He showed his friendship with The Aesir, particularly highlighting his close friendship with Eddie and Freija and went on to say he offered friendship and asked nothing in return except friendship in kind.
Odin accepted but was skeptical, Fionn could see he felt he had lost the day.
Jarl had been working with Víðarr and turned to him for help, but Víðarr turned and ran. He was neatly punched out by Apate, there in disguised as a Valkyrie. She and Fionn went to talk, coming up with plans. She was awkward and when Fionn was walking away he heard her saying ‘Lunkhead’! and banging her head on the pillar.
Cupid and Brunhilde got married!
When Sigrun came to say goodbye Fionn realized he wasn’t interested in her anymore. Had a ‘Go ahead she’s everything you’ve ever wanted’ moment with Apate but he let Sigrun go.
Apate convinced Fionn to kidnap Momus, who was in the carriage behind Erebus and Nyx headed back to Tartarus. Fionn suggested they swoop and grab Batman style but she wasn’t familiar with Batman.
The swept in and grabbed him Batman style anyway.
Threads
Whether or not or how to reassure Odin
Will Eddie change Asgard
Where to put Momus - stored in a cell in Castle Fronkenschteen.
===Season 2 Episode 24 - The Last Party Before Uncertain Doom===
November 18th 2011
Fionn took Momus to Hell with Apate at his side.
Apate came to wake him up, she’d discovered some Batman but Eddie had shown her the Batman tv show movie. (She and Fionn talked about it a lot, she too loved the bit with the shark repellant spray).
Fionn showed her some Dennis O’Neill Batman stuff from the seventies.
She revealed that she has synaesthesia, confessing she likes saying his name.
Leviathan came to get them, Apate left. As she left and closed the door she could hear him in his room banging his head back on the headboard saying ‘Lunkhead!’.
Leviathan laying things out
prisoners to rescue: Simon 2, Hera , Lucifer.
Lucifer’s chains locked, key is around Thanatos’s neck
Final week of school
Finals coming - Crunch Time
Leviathan pointed out too many of the squad didn’t have a good reason to enter the fight.
Artemis - She wants vengeance
Leviathan - wants to confront Lucifer
Barbie - fights to free Biff
Ivan - Owes his life to Fionn
Amazons - ‘Never doubt an Amazon’ says Leviathan
Pele - Save Simon 2
Eddie - here to prove loyalty
Ryu - too polite to say no
Modi - just wants to crack skulls
Fionn asked “each of you that would be storming Tartarus if you had never met me, step forward.”
Artemis
Barbie
Amazons
Apate
Morpheus
Pele
Freija said she would follow Fionn to the end of the world, Fionn said that was why she couldn’t come along.
Fionn regretfully told everyone except those that stepped forward that he could not take them to Tartarus with him.
Fionn went on a lonely lonely road to The Roadhouse.
Fionn met Nick at the Roadhouse.
Nick advised Fionn to write down his question and put it in the Half Moon.
Returned to camp, Leviathan said there’s someone here to see Fionn. It was Brighid, come to help out, forging weapons and armour of legendary quality.
That night Fionn slept, had sober/drunk dream, seeing his father struggling in the valley of Sisyphus. He could see the Pride of Lucifer in his eyes, a certainty that he’d make it out of the valley.
Momus said Erebus will destroy earth, Lucifer bringing Sisyphus's rock to the top of the Valley would open a portal that would allow Erebus to take his army of millions of the darkest soldiers who ever lived and died right into earth, starting with Clearwater.
Fionn spoke to Leviathan, said if the others do decide to join, Leviathan must respect them for being willing to give their lives.
Fionn presented matters to The Squad, there was now a potential reason for everyone to go to Tartarus.
Eddie Said he had him at form up
Freija said she’d rather face them there than here
Cord said Erebus is a commie bastard and he won’t let him extend the iron curtain over Clearwater
Ivan said - so it’s not just an honourable fight I fight, but a good one too
Ryu - said he has seen Erebus’s kind try to inherit his land
Modi - let me at ‘em
Apate said: if my father did this he would ensure that everything suffered. As his own daughter I tell you we have to stop him.
Leviathan encouraged Fionn to get The Rio.
Prince agreed on the condition that he captains the ship.
Met Job at home at the Pine Barrens, Job wants to throw a party before the finals.
Study Group wants to go to the study room one last time.
They snuck into the school, Fionn carefully timing it for the time the security guard would be slipping out to the 7-11 to check if the new Penthouse had printed his letter to the forum.
They went into the Study Room, someone asked about 'Fionn's Office', which was the closet that Study Group was almost exiled to by Erlich Cartmensch. The place had something of a reputation now though, as not only had
Simon Prince and Kat...defiled the place, but Fionn had quite often had brief encounters there during the worst of his womanizing phase. They all went along to take a look. In there they found a freaky doll, Tommy.
Found Doll, Tommy, it was all mean to everybody.
It’s immune to fire, can’t be carried outside, it won’t leave the study room and neither can the study group,
Tommy picking up on everyone’s weaknesses
Said Fionn is the son of the Devil. Annie looked hearbroken when Tommy said "and Fionn's been banging chicks in that office of his all year."
He said nobody likes Rachel , they just tolerate her.
Rachel shared her insecurities, which led to the group seeing her in a more human light.
Troy admitted he threw the last game, he could have gotten back on the team if he wanted but now that he's not tied to being a jock, he kind of wants to find out what else is out there.
Caroline is really jewish and doesn’t have a Texas accent.
Tommy said they would be trapped here until they guessed his name. Fionn guessed Erlich Cartmensch because this seemed his speed but he was wrong, his next guess was Momus. He was right, and it broke the curse.
The security guard came in at that point, catching them all in Study Room. Fionn defused the situation by asking him if he was going to keep them in suspense all night or was he going to tell them if his letter got published? The security guard said yes it had and promised to let Fionn read it later. He asked if they wanted him to take out the trash, Tommy the dummy laying in a wastebasket. They thanked him and said yes.
After Tommy was gone they decided to continue sharing secrets anyway
Kat said she appreciates people don’t just call her a bitch in study group
Caroline said she pretended because when she found out she had a twin she just wanted to stand out.
Annie said she fell in love this year and had her heart broken. She asked Fionn why it didn't happen between them, he told her honestly he'd liked her but the timing was all messed up, he was still getting over Jenny Swanson. He said Jenny was the first girl he'd ever kissed.
Rachel said she was a virgin
Annie also held up her hand
Troy too
Caroline didn’t.
Kat confessed she gets images of bad things happening but nobody listens, Fionn said like Cassandra and Kat gave him a grateful glance.
Time for the finals.
Nighttime break!
Continuing Saturday 19th November 2011
Finals!
Fionn spent the final three quarters of this time doing squad/tactical diagrams and plans such as tearing out Erebus’s heart.
Final thing Fionn writes “Heart. ?“
In final ten seconds students rapping on desks to count down. In that moment Fionn could feel a connection to Lucifer, the rapping matching his heartbeat as he wills himself out of the pit.
Mark asked Fionn for his yearbook quote “Everyone has an excuse to be an asshole. But not everyone is an asshole. So if you are, your excuse ain’t worth shit.”
Fionn and Mercy had a conversation in the car park. She said Andrew sent her a letter that he’d be meeting her father. Mercy confessed to Fionn that she is the Phantom on the radio. She’s thinking of going on the road, having adventures. Mercy said she’d like to see Fionn again at the prom.
Fionn said he’d see her tonight at the party, his tone accidentally betraying this would be where they’d really say goodbye.
Job has picked a venue-
“A wicked little bar on the outskirts of town” - Fionn’s Barn.
Prince in ‘requiem’ mood, requiem is playing from his limo, he looks full-on magnificent, none more feathered than he, tanned, suit immaculately pressed.
Female teacher walks up to Prince, glasses, hair in bun. Prince instructs her to lose the glasses and loosen the hair.
“Maybe I’ll see you around. Maybe. That’s it I’m done with you, could you give me a little space I’m trying to ruminate here.”
Prince is resolved to start from zero.
Fionn went home after school
Various gifts sitting on shelf from his Birthday
Chest full of blessings from Athena
Horn of Poseidon - Seashell
Erebus’s gift
Gift from Zeus - a box whose nature is undiscovered
Opened Zeus’s gift - Some golden shackles alongside a note
The note is a contract, if Fionn surrenders he’ll ensure peace.

Maria came to speak to Fionn
She’s spoken to her family to warn them

Asked her what kind of stuff she’d liked
She loved Flashdance. She dressed as Jennifer Beals from Flashdance instead. Fionn ntroduced Brighid to Job.
Blaine crashed the party, started hitting on Apate. This caused Fionn to fume silently and kind of stalk the situation, observing from behind things, grinding his teeth. Mercy saw this and said kindly that he shouldn't worry. He knew she was right but continued grinding his teeth.
Blaine tried touching Apate's thigh three times, eventually she said she'd meet him upstairs in the house and he should wait for her.
Apate saw through Blaine easily and said later “Who does he think he’s deceiving?”
She and Fionn spoke, she explained she was going to leave Blaine up there all night waiting. Fionn Danced with Apate but she left with a sob as the song ended.
Modi dressed as American Football player
Proserpine and the Sisters came to party as the PTA.
Dionysus arrived “I see you’ve gotten yourself an eyepatch”
Fionn went to find Apate, she had been crying because she met Jenny and she felt she couldn't compete with Jenny's beauty or have as much in common with Fionn as Jenny had. Fionn reassured her, they talked about how long they'd been hiding their feelings -Fionn principally hiding them from himself- and eventually went up to the treehouse.
Fionn and Apate made out and talked about House Corvin’s future.
Fionn talked to Leviathan, said he felt that Apate knew the value of truth and would make a great goddess of Truth within House Corvin.
Everyone clustered around the campfire, The Deadbeats just finished The Campfire Sessions.
Job opened up the stage, Ivan went on stage and played a beautiful, achingly sad piece on the violin, Ederlezi.

Met with Famine and 100 Thuggee troops
Fionn turned the area to ice, causing the troops to slip and slide off balance.
Destroyed Famine with a single strike
Met Nemesis
Had a long discussion with her ranging from philosophy to theology, and Fionn later marvelled that among the gods these two subjects are the same.
She warned that travelling through her realm in Tartarus was perilous, poisoned thorns that could puncture any armour may spring from the ground, the very land becoming murderous. Her aspect is retribution and any who travel through her realm will find their flaws heightened, particularly hubris.
She did not mention and Fionn did not remember having met her while battling The Oneroi at the end of Season 1, she tried to take Bodhi to Tartarus in the second part of The Oneroi episode.
While talking about Aspects, Nemesis mentioned both justice and retribution. Fionn asked her if she could allow him and his friends to pass, she said she may not be able to stop her aspect from manifesting if the party's flaws showed. Fionn put forward the idea that it isn't justice if it isn't tempered and that if she can't control her aspect, it isn't truly her own. He found the debate enjoyable and interesting and told her so, she agreed to try to restrain her aspect and thanked him for the discourse.
Returning to camp Fionn found Cord was starting to buck for more authority, becoming overconfident and starting to look for more leadership at the expense of Fionn's authority. Mindful of the warning given by Nemesis, Fionn did not treat Cord's overconfidence as a challenge, instead discussing the matter with him. As an analogy he asked Cord what he would do if members of the squad were not ready to take orders as they had agreed to do, but more importantly why would he do it. Cord said he'd have to get them in line and as to why, it was so that the squad could run smoothly, everyone looking out for each other. He calmed considerably after this.
Dome of ice with Ryu ’s zapping defeated a giant swarm of locusts
Razor forest turned out to be easy, Eddie’s magnetism powers easily moved all harm out of the way
Morpheus showed Fionn a dream of Erebus ’s
Land of Tartarus has a facsimile of Clearwater , Erebus goes there to fantasize about killing Fionn, in hilarious and tragic and depressing and hilarioius scenes.
They decided to make their way there to ambush Erebus
As they journeyed on they were confronted War leading an army of 100,000 warriors. Fionn walked out from the Squad's position in the narrow valley to speak with their leader- to discover his old adversary. War rode out on horseback to meet him. Fionn and War stared each other down until Fionn spoke- entreating him to stand aside- calming War out of his aspect and his desire to fight.
War explained that he wouldn't stand in Fionn's way, but that the 100,000 men behind him would treat him as a traitor the moment he turned his back. Beliving he was about to die he attempted to give Fionn a locket to give to Hope. But Fionn refused- telling War he would have to do it in person himself.
As soon as War turned- he was shot in the jugular by a bullet, fired by a sniper deep inside the mass of troops. Artemis shot and killed this would-be leader and the next man to take his place, ably supported by her son Cord. Under the protection of their bow and high-calibre rifle, Fionn pulled War back to his Squad's vantage point and fought the army in bloody battle.
War was stabilised and revived by Barbie and came to when the battle had ended. After sharing one of Eddie's joints, and his grudging admiration of Fionn and his 'rag-tag' company, he mounted his nightmare and told Fionn that he would round up other troops unloyal to Erebus to assist the Squad.
possible bottleneck
Cliff that falls down into a tributary of the river stix
Barbie wanted to try to turn them from battle, so Fionn agreed
Went to Parlay with War. He told war he knew he was tired of slaughter becuase he was too.
War agreed not to attack but that meant his own troops would turn on him. Fionn dragged War to safety inside their own barricades, Barbie used her emotion control to make 20,000 troops turn away from the battle and leave peacefully.
Fionn with some help from Eddie’s sound control intimidated the troops and they sent several thousand running.
Mongols, Conquistadores, Ninja, Nazis, Tanks, Rocket Launchers, Motorcycles
The battle was long and bloody, more enemies emerged through the cliff caves.
Eventually they defeated all of them, Fionn killing Pestilence along the way.
Fionn was wounded quite a lot by the end.
He made sure everyone else was healed then collapsed back to lie down and rest, calling Barbie and Andrew over to heal him.
Andrew trying to heal Fionn- it was incredibly painful and did further damage.
“Oh god I forgot I’m the Antichrist...”
Three teams:
Fionn
Apate
Amazons
Ryu
Barbie & Biff
Artemis
Cord
Talos
Morpheus
Andrew
Lillin
Leviathan
Modi
Eddie
Freija
Ivan
Leviathan bitching about boat moored near battle
Fionn said they were in a fight with a- but he paused because he was about to say a Leviathan
Leviathan “ Oh yeah I heard the girls had a real problem on the love boat”
Lillin showed up to help in the battle, Leviathan was very upset
Fionn went to talk to him but Morpheus came and told him he’d seen in a dream that Leviathan really was Lillin’s father and not Lucifer
Fionn went and spoke to Leviathan but when he told him this, his aspect of prince of envy almost killed him as he no longer envied anyone in the world. Fionn used his emotion control to try to calm him and brought him back from the brink of death.
They laid traps and ambushes
Sharp wires of ice in all the alleys and doorways except seven buildings they decided they’d use
The road dug up with ice stakes underneath it, concealed by an illusion of Apate’s making
Erebus forces arrived, galloping down the street
Erebus’s Honour Guard
50 of them falling immediately
Then the battle was on.
The three units kept moving, Fionn occasionally swooping to help those who were injured
Fionn used Ice to create wrecking balls to drop directly on buildings, everyone used their special skills to great effect.
Erebus’s main guard whittled down they tried to take him out of town. Fionn stole a cannon and had Apate make it seem they were running towards the cannon which made them turn back. Fionn started putting up walls of ice, fencing them in while he hit them with cannon blast after cannon blast. He also iced the ground under them and had Ryu hit them with lightning bolt after lightning bolt.
Finally only Erebus’s carriage was intact, though overturned. Erebus started trying to climb out and Fionn leapt in the air, with a single beat of his wings he propelled himself twenty feet above the carriage and dived down to strike Erebus like a bird of prey. He dug the claws of both hands into Erebus’s chest. Erebus grabbed his wrists and shocked him. Fionn started punching Erebus in the face while Erebus continued to shock him.
Eventually Fionn tore Erebus’s heart out.
Artemis asked to keep it, which Fionn agreed to.
Polydora was once again able to see.
Biff was made human.
The Squad, bloodied and tired after their ambush and assassination of Erebus, later encountered a company of 2,000 horseback riders blocking their path to the Citadel of Erebus- and anticipated another gruelling battle. But War lead the calvary and, true to his word, he had gathered allies to assist the Squad. He ordered his men to prevent anyone from passing through the newly opened Portal of Tartarus.
Fionn went to rescue Lucifer, Thanatos held the key. Fionn honestly didn’t care if he fought him or not so he just said “I’m here for my father. I need the key. You can die if you want.”
Thanatos gave the key to Fionn.
Fionn freed Lucifer and Sisyphus.
Lucifer and Fionn went with the others to free Simon Prince Two (His actual legal name) But he didn’t actually remember Pele.
They also freed Hera , who once again misjudged Fionn, thinking he was working for Erebus now. She apologized for that when he freed her but Fionn had given up really caring about her opinions.
Nyx gracefully accepted her fate, thinking Fionn was going to execute her. He explained he had never had any intention of harming her and presented her with her son Momus, also unharmed.
They all returned to Clearwater, Lucifer and Morrigan went on a date while Fionn went to the Prom with his friends.
Fionn: I was busy
Lucifer: So was I
Fionn: Yeah, but I got a lot more done, Dad.

Lucifer gives Fionn his piece of advice
Everyone should be free. There should be no leaders. The reason why a lot of people have mistaken him for being evil is that he believes you shouldn’t just love everyone. They don’t have a problem with you, you don’t have a problem with them. They have a problem with you or anyone you love, you’re well within your right to fight back. For those that you love, you give everything.
Summer
Touring with The Deadbeats
Working at Maria's Drive-In
Around to see Leslie Knope ’s Mayoral campaign
Fionn got a note from Athena, Death was going to kill Aether - the Oxygen of the gods.
Apate said Pandora’s Box would be needed. Fionn and Apate fetched the box and went to Olyumpus, where Fionn confronted Death.
Death was right beside Aether and was about to kill him so Fionn opened the box. Death flew into it but Aether did too, and the gods started to suffocate. So Fionn leapt into the box to kill Death once and for all and return with Aether.
Fionn did not immediately return. A new constellation appeared in the sky that night, Fionn and Death locked in combat.
*Note: Ford was conceived on a battlefield in the heat of a battle and he was born a couple of days later during the desperate fighting of the ambush on Clearwater. Thus in a way, Ford was born in Clearwater.
