Cry Me A River/Dialogues

Nine months have passed and after staying with the Willoughby’s for so long, Marionette finally moved out and was given her own apartment...

* + Marionette (carrying boxes): So this is it... I finally have my own place, exactly like I wanted...
	+ Marionette (holding her head): This feels a lot weirder that how it should be... Maybe I should’ve stayed at the palace...
	+ Marionette (determined): No! I’ve stayed with them for far too long! It’s about time that I become independent!
	+ Marionette (unpacking): I should probably start unpacking. Perhaps it’ll feel more like home that way-

Suddenly she hears someone knocking on the door.

* + Marionette (startled): Who could that be?! I don’t recall inviting anyone to stay over?!
	+ Madelina’s voice: Helloooooooooo? Is anyone in here?! Open the door, bitch!
	+ Marionette (confused): Madelina?!

Marionette opens the door for her friend...

* + Marionette (curious): What are you-
	+ Madelina (shocked): I came here AS SOON as I heard you’ve moved out of the palace!
	+ Madelina (innocent smirk): So that’s your new turf? It looks sooooooo chic!
	+ Marionette (blushing): Thanks. Would you like to come in?
	+ Madelina (smiling): I can’t stay for long, but sure!

The girls have a seat...

* + Madelina (curious): Sooo... I have a question. How are you paying for that? I mean, surely housing in here isn’t free and you don’t have a job as far as I know?
	+ Marionette (innocent grin): The palace are covering for the first year... But I do plan to find a job to pay the rent on my own!
	+ Madelina (eye rolling): The palace is paying, huh? Well, I am glad you at least took the first step and moved out! Far away from Kaleb and his bitchy sisters!
	+ Marionette (sad): ...
	+ Madelina (disturbed): Don’t tell me you’re still in love with that... that freak!
	+ Marionette (blushing): I didn’t say anything!
	+ Madelina (stumped): Marionette?
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): Maybe I still have a little affection for him, but... It’s been months! And with Yvette out of the picture, maybe he changed, who knows?!
	+ Marionette (serious): And he did promise me back when we were in Rome, he’s going to bury Yvette for me!
	+ Madelina (crossing her arms): And did he go by his word?
	+ Marionette (pissed): No, and guess who’s fault is that?!
	+ Madelina (giving up): You know what? I’m not going to say anything, if you still like him for some strange reason, then good for you!
	+ Madelina (covering her face): Lets just change the subject. Is there anything else you’d like to talk about?
	+ Marionette (confused): Yeah... What’s that package you’re carrying and why are you dressed like a sailor?
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Ah, that’s just a gift I had Maylin make for Mia!
	+ Madelina (smiling): Today is her 21st birthday and our friends are throwing a party at the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge* to celebrate it!
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): Mia...
	+ Marionette (confused): You said Maylin made the gift for you, didn’t she and Zachary used to date?!
	+ Madelina (shrugging her shoulders): Just because I’m dating her ex, doesn’t mean we have to hate each other. I think she’s cool and she doesn’t seem to have a grudge at me!
	+ Madelina (shocked): Anyway, what’s the time? Shoot! I’ve got to go, I’ll be late to the party!
	+ Madelina (nervous grin): But before I leave, you happen to have any alcohol with you?
	+ Marionette (thinking): I think they have those in the minibar...

Marionette checks the minibar and finds a bottle of champagne...

* + Marionette (passing a bottle of champagne): That’s all that I could find...
	+ Madelina (happy): Thanks, that’s perfect! I’ll pay you back once I come back from the party!

Madelina heads to the door...

* + Marionette (crossing her arms): You know what I find funny?
	+ Madelina (confused): What?
	+ Marionette (eye rolling): That just a minute ago you were judging me for still not giving up on Kaleb...
	+ Marionette (serious): Yet here you are still desperately trying to build a friendship with Mia, even though she made it clear she doesn’t like you!
	+ Madelina (crossing her arms): Marionette, this...
	+ Madelina (covering her face): *sigh*...
	+ Madelina (frowning): I’ll see you later...

And Madelina leaves the apartment.

Meanwhile, Yoyo and Ophelia are swimsuit shopping with April at Jennifer Tanaka’s estate.

* + April (covering her face): Are you girls done? We’re going to be late to Mia’s party!
	+ Ophelia (sweating): Just give me a minute! I still haven’t found anything right for me!
	+ April (thinking): The one you’re wearing looks cute?
	+ Ophelia (frustrated): But it’s showing my entire ass! I’m not letting the boys see me like this!
	+ April (covering her face): What about you, Yoyo? Did you find anything for your liking?
	+ Yoyo (posing): I like this bikini, but...
	+ Yoyo (worried): I’m not sure if it flatters my body...
	+ Yoyo (nervous): I still have a pouch and stretch marks are visible too!
	+ Flora (holding her head): I think you’re putting way too much thought into this. You’re going into a party strictly for friends, no one else is going to see you!
	+ Gina (shrugging his shoulders): And besides who cares what people think of you?
	+ Aphrodite daughters (Daughter 2; smiling): Yeah! Screw what other people think!
	+ Yoyo (unsure): I’m still not sure...
	+ Aphrodite daughters (Daughter 1; grinning): Well, I know exactly what you need! A man’s opinion!
	+ Aphrodite daughters (Daughter 1; whooping): Hey, Niilo!

On the other side of the table, Niilo and Cedrick are playing cards together...

* + Cedrick (holding cards; focusing): One of my sisters wants to speak with you...
	+ Niilo (confused): Huh? What do you want?
	+ Aphrodite daughters (Daughter 2; innocent smirk): We just want to know how you think Yoyo looks in this bikini?
	+ Niilo (sweating): I don’t know... Can’t you ask Cedrick instead?
	+ Cedrick (disgusted): Dude! That’s my sister!
	+ Aphrodite daughters (Daughter 1; smirking): Besides, we wants to know what a STRAIGHT guy thinks!
	+ Niilo (blushing): She’s.... ok-looking, I guess?
	+ Aphrodite daughters (Daughter 1; eye rolling): “ok-looking”? Way to boost a girl’s self-esteem!
	+ Niilo (awkward grin): Hey! My girlfriend is in the room, what do you expect me to say?
	+ Gina (smirking): Hehe... I raised him right...
	+ Ophelia (curious): Do you have other swimsuits?
	+ Gina (confused): You couldn’t find anything you like?
	+ Ophelia (blushing): It’s not that... I’m just looking for something more... modest.
	+ Gina (thinking): I have one more box up there...
	+ Gina (cross): Shit! I can’t reach it!
	+ Gina (innocent smirk): Niilo, sweetie...
	+ Niilo (looking at his cards): Yes, babe?
	+ Gina (pouting): There’s something on the shelf which I can’t reach. Could you please help me get it?
	+ Niilo (holding his head): I just came back from some intense training! I really don’t have the power for this right now!
	+ Gina (disappointed): That sucks... I was hoping you’d be up for a round or two later this day. But you seem to be too tired...
	+ Niilo (shocked): Hold up! I’m not THAT tired!

Niilo rushes to Gina and lefts her so she could reach the box...

* + Gina and Niilo (Niilo; carrying Gina; nervous grin): See?
	+ Gina and Niilo (Gina; giggling; patting Niilo’s head): Good boy...

Gina puts the box in front of Ophelia...

* + Gina (smiling): Here. You can look through the box, maybe you can find something that fits yo-

Niilo carries Gina and again and takes her up the stairs...

* + Gina and Niilo (Gina; shocked): Hey! Where are you taking me?
	+ Gina and Niilo (Niilo; smirking): You said you wanted to go for a round?
	+ Gina and Niilo (Gina; laughing; playfully hitting him): I meant later! Put me down!
	+ Cedrick (eye rolling): I guess I’ll go hang out with Tyrese!

Ophelia is searching the box Gina left for her...

* + Ophelia (pissed): I can’t find anything that’ll cover me up! What am I supposed to wear?
	+ Ophelia (covering her face): I guess I’ll just go out in what I’m wearing right now! It’s the best option I could find after all!
	+ April (crossing her arms): Finally! Did you make up your decision, Yoyo?
	+ Yoyo (covering her face): You guys go without me, I’m going to change into something else...
	+ April (covering her face): Are you kidding me?!
	+ Ophelia (serious): Take your time, we’ll wait for you outside...

April and Ophelia leave the estate...

* + Flora (disappointed): Pity... I think the bikini looks amazing on you!
	+ Yoyo (unsure): Really?
	+ Flora (shrugging her shoulders): Yeah. I honestly don’t see why you hate your body that much? I’d kill for your curves!
	+ Yoyo (worried): ...
	+ Yoyo (determined): I think you girls are right! I like this bikini and it’s about time I broke out of my shell! I’m going out!
	+ Flora (cheering): You go girl!
	+ Aphrodite daughters (both cheering): YAS QUEEN! SLAY! PERIODT!
	+ Yoyo (nervous): Maybe I should bring my blazer with me just in cas-
	+ Flora (frowning): ...
	+ Aphrodite daughters (both frowning): ...
	+ Yoyo (sweating): Or maybe not...

And Yoyo finally leaves the shop...

Meanwhile at the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge*...

* + Maverick (hands on hips): Zach, what do you think about the decoration?
	+ Zachary (thinking): It’s good, but...
	+ Zachary (confused): Why does that sign say “Happy birthday MAIA”?!
	+ Maverick (nervous grin): That... Well, it was Mary who wrote this...
	+ Mary (confused): What’s wrong with it? Is that how you write Mia’s name?
	+ Zachary (holding his head): NO! Her name is Mia! M-I-A! Not M-A-I-A! This is going to be a disaster!
	+ Maverick (awkward grin): I’m sure Mia isn’t going to notice... She’s not that picky!
	+ Natalie (smiling): I made the cake as I promised! How does it look?
	+ Zachary (glad): It looks great! You did a good job! Put it on the table and once Mia comes we’ll light the candles!
	+ Zachary (crossing his arms): Now when are the others going to come?!
	+ Maverick (smirking): Give them some time! Your overstraining yourself, you gotta chill out!
	+ Zachary (covering his face): I just want Mia’s party to go well! I don’t want her to be disappointed!
	+ Maverick (laughing): You care too much about Mia’s opinion. If I didn’t know you, I’d think you two are dating!
	+ Zachary (sweating): ...
	+ Maverick (grinning): And hey! Looks like the girls have come!

Yoyo, Ophelia and April arrive to the ship...

* + April (eye rolling): Sorry we were late, we were swimsuit shopping and these two were taking too late picking what to wear!
	+ Maverick (impressed): Well DAMNNNNNNN!
	+ Maverick (grinning): You two should be dressing like that more often! Your bodies put Madelina’s to shame!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; uncomfortable): Excuse me?
	+ April (cross): Ahem?
	+ Maverick (eye rolling): What? Am I not allowed to compliment my friends now?
	+ April (eye rolling): You didn’t compliment me!
	+ Maverick (seductive grin): Why do I need to? You already know I find you beautiful...
	+ April (pissed): Your words mean nothing if you’ll just say it to every girl you ever talk to!
	+ Maverick (eye rolling): Oh come on! Also, why do you care about this? Aren’t we supposedly on a break?
	+ April (angry): Just because I put our relationship on a break, doesn’t mean you get to flirt with other women-
	+ Zachary (furious): Can you two cut it out?!
	+ Zachary (pissed): This is Mia’s day and I don’t want anyone to ruin it! If you’re going to be fighting throughout the whole party, one of you or both of you are welcome to leave!
	+ April (pissed): Excuse me?! We’ve known Mia for far longer than you, who do you think you are to kick us out of her birthday party?!
	+ Maverick (crossing his arms): Like she said!
	+ April (angry): Oh no, we are not agreeing with each othe-
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; shocked): Guys, shut up! Hasuro and Mia are coming!
	+ Zachary (serious): Okay, everyone in their positions!

Everybody in the ship goes into a hiding spot...

* + Mia (shocked): Huh? No one’s in the ship, where is everyone?
	+ Hasuro (nervous smile): I’m sure they’ll come at any minute...
	+ Mia (thinking): Hmmm... What’s all this decoration fo-

Suddenly everyone comes out...

* + The crew (cheering): SURPRISE!
	+ Mia (startled): AH!!!
	+ Hasuro (smiling): Happy birthday, Mia!
	+ Mia (happy): Oh my god, guys! I’ve totally forgot about my birthday, I can’t believe you remembered it!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; smiling): How can we? Your twenty first birthday is basically a milestone! It’s wrong if we don’t celebrate it!
	+ Mary (winking): It ain’t anything fancy, but we hope you it suites your taste!
	+ Mia (smiling): Are you kidding me?! I LOVE IT!
	+ Natalie (smiling): You’ve got Zach to thank for this! He’s the one who planned out everything!
	+ Mia (sweating): Zach?
	+ Zachary (blushing): Hey Mia... Would you mind if you talk privately for a sec?
	+ Mia (blushing): S-sure...
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; grinning): Since we’re all here, time to sail!
	+ Hasuro (shocked): Wait! What about Madelina?
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; eye rolling): Eh... I doubt Mia’s gonna be happy if she shows up, so I saw we go without her!

Maverick unties the ship from the dock and the crew sail away...

* + Mia (sweet smile): Zach, thank you so much for planning all this for me! It was really considerate of me!
	+ Zachary (awkward smile): You’re welcome...
	+ Zachary (blushing): I... Wanted to talk to you about what happened at the theatre...
	+ Mia (sad): There’s nothing that we need to talk about. You want us to stay friends and I understand...
	+ Zachary (shocked): Wait! That’s not-
	+ Mia (lying): No really! Totally understand and respect it! And I’ve already moved on!
	+ Zachary (sweating): You did? So you don’t mind that Madelina and I are...
	+ Mia (warm smile): If you’re happy with her, then who am I to judge? I’m just glad you found someone else after your messy breakup!
	+ Zachary (lying): Well... I’m glad to hear you have no hard feelings. I was afraid... That you’d have it against Madelina or something...
	+ Mia (frowning): Yeah...
	+ Mary (crossing her arms): Are you two lovebirds done talkin’? It’s time for Mia to blow her candles!
	+ Mia (annoyed): We’re not lovebirds!
	+ Zachary (laughing): We should probably go and join our friends, haha!

Mia is getting ready to blow the candles.

* + The crew (singing): Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Mia! Happy birthday to you!
	+ Mia (blowing out her candles): ...
	+ The crew (cheering): Woohoo!!!
	+ Zachary (smiling): Time to have your first slice of cake!
	+ Mia (happy): Red velvet! My favorite!
	+ Mia (eating cake slice): ...
	+ Mia (speechless; disgusted): ...
	+ Zachary (concerned): How does it taste?
	+ Mia (blushing): It has an interesting flavor for sure...
	+ Natalie (relieved): I’m happy you like it! I’ve got to admit I was a bit taken aback when Zachary asked me to bake a beet cake!
	+ Zachary (shocked): You made her a beet cake?!
	+ Natalie (blushing): You told me to make her a “red velvet” and when I asked Maverick what that meant, this is what he told me...
	+ April and Maverick (April; glaring at a blushing Maverick): MAVERICK?
	+ Zachary (covering his face): You were supposed to use it as food coloring! Not for flavoring! Now the cake is basically inedible!
	+ Natalie (sweating): I’m so sorry!
	+ Mia (awkward grin): It’s alright, I’m... Not a big fan of cakes anyway...

Meanwhile at the docks...

* + Madelina (shocked): Oh no! They sailed without me!
	+ Madelina (whooping): Guys! Come back! I’m here!
	+ Madelina (covering her face): There’s no use to this! They can’t hear me!
	+ Madelina (panicking): What am I going to do now?! I can’t miss Mia’s birthday! That’ll give her even more a reason to hate me!

Madelina spots a rowing boat...

* + Madelina (happy): A rowing boat! I could use that to catch up to them!
	+ Madelina (sweating): But wouldn’t that be theft? What if the owner gets mad that its missing?
	+ Madelina (hesitant): Screw this! I need to get to the party quickly! I hope that she didn’t blow the candles already!

Madelina takes the boat and begins rowing...

* + Madelina (relieved): I’m so glad my parents signed me up for canoeing classes!
	+ Madelina (serious): I think I got close enough! I’m going to call for them now!

Madelina stands up on the boat...

* + Madelina (whooping): Guys! Wait! I’m here!

The crew hears her...

* + April and Maverick (Maverick; grinning): Oh look! She came after all!
	+ April and Maverick (April; confused): Who is she?!
	+ Mia (pissed): You guys invited HER?!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; sweating): We know that you don’t like her and we didn’t plan for her to come, but Zachary invited her anyway!
	+ Zachary (nervous grin): She insisted that I do! I had no choice but to agree since it was her idea we throw the party here!
	+ Mia (eye rolling): So I’m in a party hosted by a chick I hate! How wonderful!
	+ Mary (on the wheel): If you don’t want her abroad, then we could just ignore her.
	+ Mia (crossing her arms): Just stop the ship...

Mary follows Mia’s command...

* + Madelina (relieved): Phew, they stopped the ship!
	+ Madelina (smiling): Time to row!

Madelina rows the ship while still standing and she loses balance...

* + Madelina (shocked): Ah! What is happening?!
	+ Madelina (startled): AH!

Madelina falls off the boat but something catches her...

* + Madelina (confused): Huh?

She looks down and sees the water lifting her...

* + Zachary (relieved; using his powers): I got her!
	+ Zachary (shouting): Madelina, don’t move! I’ll bring you to the ship!

Zachary uses his powers to bring her to the ship and she falls into the ship, flat on the face...

* + Madelina (hurt): Ow!
	+ Natalie (worried): Madelina! Are you hurt?!
	+ Madelina (dizzy; thumbs up): Don’t worry guys! I’m fine!
	+ Mia (crossing her arms; whispering): Unfortunately...
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Sorry for being late. I visited a friend on my way to the ship and I lost track of the team!
	+ Madelina (smiling): But anyway! Happy birthday Mia!
	+ Mia (forced smile): Thank you.
	+ Madelina (excited): Soooo.... Are you guys just going to stand here and be silent, or are we gonna partyyyyyyyyyyy?
	+ Hasuro (smiling): Come on guys! Don’t let a late guest spoil the fun!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; whispering): This is probably the most awkward birthday party I’ve went to...

The crew continue celebrating and soon the guests start giving their gifts to Mia...

* + Mia (stumped): For my birthday you got me a vibrator. Really Rick?
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; innocent smirk): Hey! Since you’ve been single for almost a year, I thought maybe you need something to keep you pleasured?
	+ April and Maverick (April; smirking): If you don’t want it, you could give it to me!
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; grinning): Why would you need that when the real deal’s standing next to you?
	+ April and Maverick (April; eye rolling): Oh please! Even before our break, you were never really that fun on the sheets!
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; awkward grin): Damn girl! You didn’t have to roast me like this in front of my buds!
	+ Mia (curious): So I guess these are all the gifts?
	+ Madelina (carrying a package): Wait! You didn’t open mine yet!
	+ Mia (eye rolling): Oh my! How could I forget about you!
	+ Mia (opening the package): Lets see what you got me...
	+ Madelina (excited): I’m sure you will love it!
	+ Mia: It’s...
	+ Mia (shocked): A guitar?
	+ Madelina (staring at Maverick): I heard that SOMEONE destroyed your previous guitar...
	+ April and Maverick (shrugging his shoulders): What? We needed the strings to fix that siren’s harp!
	+ Madelina (smiling): So I asked Maylin to make a new one for you! Do you like it?
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; whispering): She’s in good terms with the ex too!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; sympathetic): Poor Mia... That must string!
	+ Mia (serious): I appreciate the gift, but..
	+ Mia (crossing her arms): My old guitar is still functional, I already had the strings replaced...
	+ Madelina (blushing): Oh...
	+ Mia (smiling): Anyway, thank you all for the gifts. I’ll make sure that I’ll take good care of them!
	+ Mia (thinking): Since we’re done with the party activities. I guess we can all go and have a swi-
	+ Madelina (shocked): Wait! We aren’t done with the activities yet!
	+ Mia (eye rolling): What now?!
	+ Madelina (holding a champagne bottle): You still didn’t have your first drink!
	+ Hasuro (holding his laughter): ...
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; laughing): Ahahahahahahaha!
	+ Madelina (blushing): What...?
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; awkward smile): Madelina, be honest... When did you have your first drink?
	+ Madelina (nervous grin): I’m nineteen...
	+ Hasuro (laughing): And you expect us to believe you’ve never drank in your life?!
	+ Madelina (blushing): Maybe I had one, two... or more at a couple of parties, but... You’re cops! I thought you must be waiting until you’re legal for sure...
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; grinning): Believe me NONE of us were waiting! I had my first drink at age 12!
	+ Madelina (shocked): But that’s so young! What about you Mia, you didn’t-
	+ Mia (smirking): Not THAT early. But I have been drinking since I was sixteen!
	+ Madelina (blushing): I guess there’s no point in bringing that bottle then...
	+ Hasuro (smiling): Hey! We can still celebrate Mia’s first drink! But instead of being her first first drink, it’ll be her first LEGAL drink! What do you think Mia?
	+ Mia (innocent smirk): That sounds silly, but fine!
	+ Madelina (happy): That’s great! I’m gonna open the bottle for you!

Madelina shakes the bottle...

* + Madelina (frowning): Why isn’t it popping?

Madelina shakes it again, and puts it near her head.

* + Madelina (impatient): Come on, OPEN-

The lid pops and hits Madelina on the head, just above the brow...

* + Madelina (holding her brow): Ow!
	+ April and Maverick (both laughing; Maverick): Hahahahahahah!
	+ Hasuro (holding his laughter): ...
	+ Natalie (shocked): Oh dear!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; wincing): Ouch!
	+ Zachary (shocked): Madelina! Are you okay?!
	+ Mia (pissed): ...

Zachary checks on Madelina...

* + Madelina (wiping the blood on her head): I’m fine! It’s just a little bleeding!
	+ Madelina (smiling): So Mia, ready to have your “first” drink?
	+ Mia (eye rolling): Whatever!

Madelina pours the champagne into a glass and passes it to Mia...

* + Madelina (counting): On the count of three! One-
	+ Mia (chugs the whole glass): ...
	+ The crew (cheering): Woohooooooooooooo!!!
	+ Madelina (shocked): Wow! You really are used to this!
	+ Mia (smirking): I’ve had stronger drin-
	+ Natalie’s voice: AHHH!!!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; shocked): Isn’t that Natalie screaming?!
	+ Zachary (concerned): Natalie!

Zachary checks the water to see what’s going on and sees they’re standing over a whirlpool!

* + Natalie (swimming against the current): AHHH!!!
	+ Zachary (panicking): Oh no! Mary! Move the ship! We’re standing over a whirlpool!
	+ Mary (shocked): Blimey! I’m on it!
	+ Zachary (serious): Nat! Grab my hand!

Natalie holds into Zachary’s hand and he pulls her into the ship...

* + Natalie (relieved): Thank you, Zach!
	+ Hasuro (shocked): What’s going on down here?!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; panicking): Don’t tell me we’re going inside that sea monster again!
	+ Zachary (serious): Not possible. The Charybdis is fixed to her place, she cannot move!
	+ Mia (concerned): Then what’s going on?!
	+ Zachary (hopeful): I’m not sure, but we are going to get out of thi-

But suddenly the whirlpool sucks the entire ship in...

* + The crew (startled): AH!!!!

An hour have passed since the crew was sucked by the whirlpool. Mia is alone falling in a drop...

* + Mia (impatient): I’ve been falling for almost an hour! Can I fucking die already?!
	+ Furies voices: Ahahahahahaha!

Mia hears someone cackling and sees the shadows of three winged creatures...

* + Mia (serious): Shit! It looks like I have company!
	+ Mia (covering her face): Ugh... Why does my 21st birthday have to go like thi-
	+ Ophelia (panicking): Ah! Who’s here?!
	+ Mia (shocked): Ophelia!

Ophelia hears her voice and turns to her...

* + Ophelia (shocked): Mia!
	+ Mia (serious): Catch my hand!

Ophelia holds into Mia’s arm...

* + Ophelia (relieved): I’m so happy that I found you!
	+ Ophelia (panicking): Did you hear those laughs? And the shadows, did you see them?!
	+ Mia (covering her face): Yes and yes.
	+ Ophelia (worried): Where do you think we’re being taken t-
	+ Megaera (pissed): DIE!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (both startled): AHHH!!!
	+ Elvira’s voice: Megaera! Leave our guests alone!
	+ Megaera (disappointed): Ugh!

The fury flies away...

* + Ophelia and Mia (Ophelia; confused): Who was that?
	+ Elvira (smiling): It’s been long time, Ophelia. What a privilege it is to see you after all these eons!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Ophelia; shocked): Elvira?!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Mia; confused): Wait?! Are you behind what’s going on?
	+ Elvira (smirking): I wanted to warn you beforehand, but I thought to myself “What’s the fun in that”? I wanted our meeting to be a surprise!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Mia; stumped): So are you going to tell us where you are taking us, and what for?
	+ Elvira (thinking): The queen of the underworld was murdered and if the king finds out, lets just say he’s going to go a little cuckoo.
	+ Elvira (crossing her arms): No one really wants to deal with his wrath, so I decided that its best the queen’s assassin is found before he learns of her death.
	+ Elvira (smirking): And I thought who’s more up for the job than you?
	+ Elvira (smiling): You can find her body somewhere at the River Styx. I’ll see you at the underworld. Oh! And by the way, Mia, happy birthday!

Elvira then disappears...

* + Ophelia and Mia (Ophelia; shocked): Elvira, wait-
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Ophelia; pissed): She didn’t even ask us if we’re okay with solving the murder?
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Mia; serious): I guess that means we have no other choice!

The girls continue the fall...

At the underworld, the crew had passed out but they slowly wake up...

* + Zachary (rubbing his eyes): Guys... Are you okay?
	+ Mary (dizzy): I’m fine...
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; amazed): Wow, look at that place!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Mia; serious): It looks like we’ve made it to our destination...
	+ Madelina (horrified): What is this place?!
	+ Yoyo and Hasuro (Hasuro; nervous grin): It looks a little... spookeh!
	+ Natalie (amazed): This river looks so blue!

Natalie is about to hop but Zachary grabs her.

* + Zachary (shocked): Natalie, don’t!
	+ Zachary (serious): That river is poisonous! If you swim in it, you could die!
	+ Madelina (curious): Zach, you know that place?
	+ Zachary (crossing her arms): Yes, I’ve been to it before. We’re at the underworld! And that river under our ship is River Styx!
	+ Yoyo and Hasuro (Yoyo; shocked): The underworld! As in the land of the dead?!
	+ April and Maverick (April; panicking): Oh no, no, no! I did not sign up for this! How are we getting out here?!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Mia; serious): We need to find out who killed the queen first!
	+ Zachary (shocked): Pardon?
	+ Mary (confused): And you know that because?
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Ophelia; eye rolling): Elvira spoke to Mia and I while we were at the drop, apparently she brought us here so we could find out who killed the queen of the underworld!
	+ Yoyo and Hasuro (Hasuro; confused): And she didn’t bother to ask us if we’d like to help?!
	+ Zachary (confused): Your friend brought us here to investigate Persephone’s murder? But... Persephone is a goddess, how could she possibly die?!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Mia; shrugging her shoulders): That’s what she told us! Apparently they found her body at the River Styx and she wants us to find the killer before Hades learns about the murder!
	+ Zachary (covering his face): If Persephone really is dead and Hades finds out... Then he is going to go on a rampage...
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Mia; serious): Which makes finding her killer even more necessary! You guys stay at the ship, Ophelia and I will explore the underworld to find the body!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Ophelia; sweating): You and... I? I mean... Yeah, sure! Why not?
	+ Zachary (serious): If you girls get into any danger then make sure you return to the ship immediately! Be safe!
	+ Ophelia and Mia (Mia; confident): We will. Ophelia, lets go!

## Chapter 1

* Investigate the river (Victim identified: Persephone).
	+ Ophelia (shocked): This must be the queen of the underworld! My gods, she really is dead!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): Zachary mentioned that the river here is poisonous and I don’t see any wounds on Persephone’s body, so it must be what killed her!
	+ Ophelia (serious): And it doesn’t appear to me that she “took a swim” by herself! Someone must’ve pushed her, so we are indeed dealing with a murder!
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): Elvira promised that she’ll meet us once we arrive, but I don’t see her anywhe-
	+ Elvira (smiling): There you are! I admit I feared the furies would get you before you made it here!
	+ Ophelia (startled): Ah!
	+ Ophelia (pissed): Elvira! We need to have a talk with you, right now!
* Confront Elvira for taking you to the underworld (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the river).
	+ Elvira (thinking): I can tell from your internal aura you must be very displeased with me.
	+ Ophelia (pissed): I’m not just “displeased”, I’m angry!
	+ Ophelia (furious): You’ve been ghosting me for four fucking years and now you spawn us here, without even consulting any of us, to solve a fucking murder?!
	+ Elvira (innocent smirk): I wanted to see you, I really do, but I’m busy in the summer with, you know, wifely duties and all. I’m only allowed leave at the winter when Persephone is around.
	+ Ophelia (pissed): Then you could’ve visited at that time! Seeing you once every week would’ve helped a lot!
	+ Ophelia (eye rolling): And speaking with Persephone, what was the relationship between you too? I’m sure it was a pain having to share a husband with her!
	+ Elvira (smiling): Not at all really! My marriage to Hades was mostly a compromise, he gets to have a companion at the summers, while I’m rewarded with the gift of eternal life!
	+ Elvira (thinking): And I didn’t mind this arrangement, not as much as Persephone, that’s for sure! She didn’t enjoy my presence, but I don’t see it as an issue since it’s not like we see each other very often.
	+ Elvira (serious): Hades is at work right now and won’t be back until after three hours. So you have plenty of time to find out who killed her!
	+ Elvira (innocent smirk): I recommend that you go speak with Charon, the underworld’s ferryman. He often rows on the River Styx, so there’s a chance he may have seen something that could help!
	+ Elvira (serious): If you find out who killed the queen, bring them to me and I’ll take them to Hades. I am counting on you!
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): Ha! I wish I could’ve counted on her to at least visit me while I was at therapy!
	+ Ophelia (holding her head): Anyway, I see a man riding a ferry over there. That must be the guy she asked us to talk to.
	+ Ophelia (serious): Lets go see if he’s got info about the murder!
* Ask the ferryman if he witnessed anything suspicious (1 star; Pre-request: Confront Elvira for taking you to the underworld).
	+ Charon (eating a sandwich): If you are here for me to transport you, I’m afraid you’ll have to come in another time, I’m in my damn lunch break!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): We actually came to you to ask about the queen’s murder...
	+ Charon (confused): Persephone was murdered? You must be making a mistake! She’s a goddess, she can’t die!
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): I know it may sound strange, but we found her body laying on the River Styx. And judging by your reaction, I’m guessing you saw nothing of the murder?
	+ Charon (shrugging his shoulders): Of course I haven’t! I’m a busy man, I’ve got to ferry people over River Styx and Acheron 24/7, I have no time to meddle into other affairs!
	+ Charon (serious): But I have seen Persephone earlier this day, alive, and she’s asked me to ferry her over to the True Blood Hotel.
	+ Ophelia (confused): A hotel? But doesn’t she live with Hades? What was she doing there?
	+ Charon (crossing his arms): As I said, I don’t have time to meddle into others’ affairs, but she goes there very often. I think she may be seeing someone, I’ve heard rumors about her having a side lover but I’m not sure how true they are...
	+ Ophelia (serious): Whatever she is doing there, thank you for telling us about this! Mia, I think we should go have a trip to that hotel!
* Investigate the hotel lobby (Pre-request: Ask the ferryman if he witnessed anything suspicious).
	+ Edwinata (smiling): Hello there, are you here to check in for a room?
	+ Ophelia (blushing): No, we came because we heard the queen of the underworld has been here, is that true?
	+ Edwinata (drinking tea): Oh, she was! She comes here quite often in fact!
	+ Edwinata (thinking): Last time she was here, she left this bag behind. I plan to return it to her once she shows up again.
	+ Ophelia (serious): We’d like to have this, thank you...
	+ Ophelia (thinking): So that is Persephone’s bag? If we want to learn more about her, it’s a good idea we take a peek inside!
* Search the victim’s clutch bag (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the hotel lobby).
	+ Ophelia (confused): I think this may be a hotel key, but would the victim own a room here?!
	+ Ophelia (serious): Ma’am, can we speak with you?
	+ Edwinata (smiling): Yes, how can I help you?
	+ Ophelia (curious): Can you tell us if there’s anyone residing at Room 46?
	+ Edwinata (grinning): Oh yes! The beautiful Adonis is staying there!
	+ Ophelia (wary): He and Persephone... Are they friends?
	+ Edwinata (winking): I would say they are more than “friends”. I’ve received many noise complaints at night on them, if you get what I mean?
	+ Ophelia (blushing): Oh... That’s... intriguing...
	+ Ophelia (curious): Would you mind calling Mr Adonis and tell him that we wish to visit? There’s something we wish to talk about.
	+ Edwinata (thinking): I’ll give him a call, here’s a card so you can use the elevator to go to his room.
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): So the rumors about Persephone’s lover is true? I can’t say that I’m surprised, knowing the gods’ history with infidelity...
	+ Ophelia (covering her face): Anyway, we have to go inform her lover of her death.
* Inform Adonis of Persephone’s death (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the hotel lobby).
	+ Adonis (confused): Who are you? And what’s bringing you into my hotel room?
	+ Ophelia (thinking): We came here to interrogate you for Persephone’s murderer.
	+ Adonis (shocked): Persephone is murdered?! But... But she just paid me a visit an hour ago!
	+ Ophelia (curious): We heard from the receptionist that you two had a “special” kind of bond?
	+ Adonis (pissed): That nosy old hag! She’s been snooping on me ever since I borrowed her moisturizer, who does she think she is exposing my affairs!
	+ Adonis (sad): But yes, Persephone and I had an on-and-off relationship for several centuries, she would come and cuddle with me whenever things between her and the king are getting tense.
	+ Ophelia (confused): Does Hades know about your relationship? Doesn’t he mind it?
	+ Adonis (awkward grin): He knows, and he doesn’t mind as he knows I can’t father children, unless you count our pet hellhound!
	+ Ophelia (curious): You know, you don’t like you belong here. Everyone in the underworld is either a daemon, or some other kind of creature, but you look... Oddly human.
	+ Adonis (blushing): Because I’m not from here. I used to be a prince back at my day until a boar attacked me and it... castrated me and I bled to death.
	+ Adonis (relieved): To my luck, it was summer and Persephone had seen me and took a liking to my looks. So she begged Hades to resurrect me so she could make me her lover...
	+ Adonis (worried): But now with her dead, I fear my days of immortality is over and I’ll finally be taken to the judgement hall!
* Autopsy the victim’s body (Killer attribute: The killer eats pickled human remains; Killer attribute: The killer uses *Eternal Youth* moisturizer).
	+ Hasuro (sweating): I... Have no comment...
	+ Ophelia (covering her face): Don’t tell me you couldn’t find any clues against her killer?
	+ Hasuro (nervous grin): Oh, I did! But... Just hear me out...
	+ Hasuro (blushing): First I found traces of a moisturizer which I identified it from some brand called *Eternal Youth*. I didn’t see evidence of the victim using it on herself so it must’ve come from your killer...
	+ Hasuro (sweating): Now this is where it gets weird. I also found a substance that contains vegetable, mustard seeds, vinegar-
	+ Ophelia (curious): So pickle-
	+ Hasuro (sweating): And human flesh...
	+ Ophelia (shocked): Human flesh?! You mean skin cells, right?
	+ Hasuro (covering his face): No, I mean actual flesh! The killer eats pickled human remains!
	+ Hasuro (blushing): Apparently they sell that in stores here!
	+ Ophelia (in verge of puking): Ugh! I just hope no one was killed for that! At least we know our killer eats pickles human meat!

Later, at the ship’s deck...

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): I’m still pissed off at Elvira for bringing us here against our will! But I guess if Hades learns about what happened to Persephone, our would would be affected just as much as the underworld.
	+ Ophelia (eye rolling): Elvira herself revealed that the victim didn’t like her, but the beef is one sides as she claims..
	+ Ophelia (thinking): We know the killer uses *Eternal Youth* moisturizer and Persephone’s boyfriend told us he stole some from the receptionist...
	+ Ophelia (disgusted): Hasuro also says the killer eats pickles humans, and, oh my gods! I swear I saw the ferryman eating a sandwich containing human mea-
	+ Furies (pissed): SQUEAK!
	+ Ophelia (startled): Ah! It’s those winged women again!
	+ Ophelia (panicking): Leave me alone! I’m as thin as a stick, believe me you won’t find me tasty!
	+ Furies (Tisiphone; eye rolling): Knock it off! We are not here to kill you! Not unless you give us a reason to!
	+ Furies (Alecto; serious): The king wants to see you at his throne room, alive!

## Chapter 2

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): I’m still pissed off at Elvira for bringing us here against our will! But I guess if Hades learns about what happened to Persephone, our would would be affected just as much as the underworld.
	+ Ophelia (eye rolling): Elvira herself revealed that the victim didn’t like her, but the beef is one sides as she claims..
	+ Ophelia (thinking): We know the killer uses *Eternal Youth* moisturizer and Persephone’s boyfriend told us he stole some from the receptionist...
	+ Ophelia (disgusted): Hasuro also says the killer eats pickles humans, and, oh my gods! I swear I saw the ferryman eating a sandwich containing human mea-
	+ Furies (pissed): SQUEAK!
	+ Ophelia (startled): Ah! It’s those winged women again!
	+ Ophelia (panicking): Leave me alone! I’m as thin as a stick, believe me you won’t find me tasty!
	+ Furies (Tisiphone; eye rolling): Knock it off! We are not here to kill you! Not unless you give us a reason to!
	+ Furies (Alecto; serious): The king wants to see you at his throne room, alive!
	+ Ophelia (shocked): Hades is here?! But I thought Elvira said he won’t be here until after three hours?!
	+ Ophelia (covering her face): He must’ve heard about Persephone’s death and decided to come here early!
	+ Ophelia (nervous): I can’t imagine how furious he must be, but we need to go see him!
* Talk to Hades about his wife’s death (1 star).
	+ Ophelia (sweating): So that is his throne room and there he is sitting next to Elvira!
	+ Hades (serious): So you are the detectives investigating Persephone’s murder?
	+ Hades (glaring at Elvira): How come I am the last person receiving the news of her death?
	+ Elvira (sweating): I thought it would be easier for you to grief if you already had closer of how she was killed.
	+ Hades (pissed): As you might expect, I am NOT very happy learning about my wife’s death and I am every more angry knowing that people tried to hide the news from me!
	+ Hades (serious): Detective Loukas, I’m aware of the great service you’ve done for your own people, so I do trust you to act in charge of this investigation!
	+ Hades (pissed): And if you find Persephone’s killer, I expect you to bring them over to me to meet their punishment!
	+ Hades (crossing his arms): Persephone has her own office at my corporation and I believe you may need to go in to find some clues. So I give you full access to it.
	+ Hades (pissed): I trust you in this investigation but if I don’t meet her killer by the end of the day, I am going to act at my own accord. Now, you may excuse yourself!
	+ Ophelia (relieved): He wasn’t as scary as I expected! I thought he was going to rage at us!
	+ Ophelia (sweating): But he did still threaten to go on a wrath and if we don’t find the killer soon, so we need to be quick!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): He said that Persephone had her own office and granted us access to it, so I think going there should be our first step!
* Investigate Persephone’s office (Pre-request: Talk to Hades about his wife’s death).
	+ Ophelia (shocked): The victim’s office looks way girlier than I thought! Not quite what I imagined for the queen of the underworld!
	+ Ophelia (blushing): But then again, outside the underworld, she is the goddess of the spring!
	+ Ophelia (serious): And I do think its a good thing her office looks that way, as we can tell what fits in here and what doesn’t. That scythe doesn’t belong here!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): It has a symbol engraved on the metallic part and identifying it may tell us who is its owner!
	+ Ophelia (shocked): And that camera DEFINITELY isn’t supposed to be here! Who put it up?!
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): Someone is spying on the victim and we’ve got to know who it was! Lets take this to Maverick!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): And we know that our killer uses *Eternal Youth* moisturizer, do you think they’re the ones who left this behind?
	+ Ophelia (serious): I see some black hair hairs on the cream. I believe we should collect them and have Hasuro analyze them!
* Identify scythe’s owner (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate Persephone’s office).
	+ Ophelia (shocked): That scythe belongs to Thanatos!
	+ Ophelia (sweating): You don’t know who that is, don’t you?
	+ Ophelia (serious): You know how Hades is the greek god of the dead? Thanatos is the greek god of DEATH! He’s basically what you’d call “The Grim Reaper”.
	+ Ophelia (thinking): The Fates decides who dies, Thanatos harvests their souls and Hades decide where they go: Tartarus, Elysium, Asophet or the Fields of Punishment!
	+ Ophelia (serious): But it doesn’t matter who he is. What’s important is that he’s a suspect in our investigation and we must go talk with him!
* Ask Thanatos about what he thought of Persephone (1 star; Pre-request: Identify scythe’s owner).
	+ Ophelia (sweating): Hey... Um... Are you Thanatos?
	+ Thanatos (crossing his arms): I am, and I presume you are the mortals tasked to find Persephone’s assassin?
	+ Thanatos (thinking): I am a bit busy at the moment, and I seem to have misplaced something and I’m having a hard time finding it?
	+ Ophelia (curious): Are you talking about that scythe?
	+ Thanatos (relieved): Thank gods! Without this I wouldn’t be able to harvest the souls of the dead! Where did you find this?
	+ Ophelia (confused): At Persephone’s office, what exactly have you been doing here?
	+ Thanatos (shrugging his shoulders): Just hanging out with her. You know, like what coworkers do?
	+ Ophelia (curious): So you two were friends? We never heard about that in Mythology?
	+ Thanatos (smirking): I guess you can say that. We often ate together at lunch break, she makes the best pickles in the underworld, you can ask Hades himself! And we talked about some silly stuff like my pet hellhound!
	+ Thanatos (covering his face): She brought great vibes to the corporation and I’ll miss having her around!
* Send the camera to Maverick (Pre-request: Investigate Persephone’s office).
	+ Ophelia (curious): Maverick, did you learn who set up this camera?
	+ Maverick (crossing his arms): I did and I don’t think you’d be pleased about this...
	+ Ophelia (confused): And why so?
	+ Maverick (thinking): I rewinded the camera to see what was the earliest footage...
	+ Maverick (serious): And it was literally Elvira setting the camera up!
	+ Ophelia (shocked): Elvira was spying at the victim?!
	+ Ophelia (pissed): She failed to speak about us when we talked with her!
	+ Ophelia (serious): She’s clearly hiding something! Lets go grill her for this!
* Grill Elvira for spying at the victim (1 star; Pre-request: Send the camera to Maverick).
	+ Elvira (innocent smirk): Is there any way I could assist you? I can sense that you feel a little stressed out...
	+ Ophelia (pissed): You can assist us by telling us why you were spying at the victim!
	+ Elvira (thinking): Oh! I forgotten I had put this in her office...
	+ Elvira (warning): But to be truthful with, I was getting bad vibes from Persephone!
	+ Ophelia (curious): I thought you said you didn’t mind her?
	+ Elvira (shocked): And I don’t! But lately she’s been acting very strange!
	+ Elvira (thinking): Persephone was never welcoming with me, but her approach toward me has always been passive.
	+ Elvira (serious): But this fall, she was different! She had none of the politeness she’s embodied earlier and she was acting a lot more hostile!
	+ Elvira (thinking): I felt something was wrong, so I wanted to keep a keen eye on her...
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): And let me guess, she caught you, you got on a fight and you ended pushed her into a river. Am I right?
	+ Elvira (smiling): Don’t silly! If I had killed Persephone I would have never summoned you here, I’m much smarter than that!
* Examine *Eternal Youth* moisturizer (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate Persephone’s office).
	+ Ophelia (glad): We have a hair sample! Lets take it to Hasuro!
* Analyze hair sample (Killer attribute: The killer has a pet hellhound).
	+ Ophelia (curious): April? What are you doing here? And where is Hasuro?
	+ April (blushing): I told Hasuro to take a rest. I felt guilty that everyone in the ship is working except for me, so I asked if I could do the analysis instead..
	+ Ophelia (thinking): That’s very thoughtful, but did you figure out where the hair came from?
	+ April (covering her face): I could tell that it was from a dog, but unfortunately I couldn’t recognize the breed...
	+ April (thinking): I assumed then it must be a supernatural breed and since Zachary seems to have the most knowledge on that stuff, I asked him about this and he named me a few mythical breeds...
	+ April (serious): One of them is called a hellhound and when I compared the fur to a photo he had of that dog, it was a match!
	+ Ophelia (smirking): They say a dog is a man’s best friend but it looks like it’ll be who’ll turn them in!

At the underworld city...

* + Ophelia (covering her face): If we don’t catch the killer soon, Hades may take out his anger at everyone in the underworld!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): We know now the killer owns a hellhound, and didn’t both Thanatos and Adonis mention owning a dog of that breed?
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): So far none of the suspects show any spite toward the victim, except for Elvira who claims something is “strange” about her...
	+ Ophelia (covering her face): Do you think Elvira could actually be behind. No! You’re right, Elvira would never do this and if she was the killer, she would know better than to trust us with the investigation!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): I think we should go to Adonis’ hotel room again. It’s the last place the victim had been in and we may find something there!
* Investigate Adonis’ hotel room.
	+ Ophelia (grinning): Hey! Look at that love letter Persephone wrote for Adonis, isn’t it so cheesy?
	+ Ophelia (shocked): Wait- Persephone didn’t write that! Look at the signer, it’s Aphrodite!
	+ Ophelia (confused): Was Adonis seeing Aphrodite behind Persephone’s back?!
	+ Ophelia (serious): To be fair, Persephone is cheating on Hades with Adonis, but something tells me she isn’t very happy about Adonis seeing other women. Lets go see if I’m correct!
* Confront Adonis for cheating on Persephone (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate Adonis’ hotel room).
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): Y’know if I was ever going to cheat on someone I would at least put an effort on hiding it! We found a love letter from Aphrodite laying on your kitchen table!
	+ Adonis (pissed): So what? Persephone is cheating on her husband with me, I should be allowed to see other people too! And besides, I knew Aphrodite first!
	+ Adonis (crossing his arms): Remember when I told you that story about the boar? Well, that boar was actually Ares, he learned that Aphrodite and I were seeing each other and angry, he decided to kill me!
	+ Adonis (covering his face): I am grateful to Persephone for having me brought back to life, but my heart belongs to Aphrodite! And to be frank, I absolutely hate it in the underworld!
	+ Adonis (sad): I miss everything about the surface! Aphrodite, the nymphs, the satyrs and even the wide range of meals available for me!
	+ Adonis (disgusted): I don’t have any friends here except for Persephone, and the only thing available for me to eat is pickled human meat!

Later, along the River Styx...

* + Ophelia (thinking): So far, two of our suspects seem to have a problem with our victim.
	+ Ophelia (eye rolling): Elvira claims that Persephone’s behavior is “suspicious”, so she decided to snoop at her!
	+ Ophelia (covering his face): And as for Adonis, we claims to be grateful to the victim for giving him a second chance in life, but is annoyed that he can’t see the woman he truly loves...
	+ Ophelia (curious): Do you think one of them is the killer? I mean, so far, Adonis seems to fit all our criteri-
	+ Cerberus (pissed): WOOF!
	+ Ophelia (startled): AHHH!!!
	+ Ophelia (panicking): This... This dog! It’s got three heads!
	+ Cerberus (furious): *growls*

## Chapter 3

* + Ophelia (thinking): So far, two of our suspects seem to have a problem with our victim.
	+ Ophelia (eye rolling): Elvira claims that Persephone’s behavior is “suspicious”, so she decided to snoop at her!
	+ Ophelia (covering his face): And as for Adonis, we claims to be grateful to the victim for giving him a second chance in life, but is annoyed that he can’t see the woman he truly loves...
	+ Ophelia (curious): Do you think one of them is the killer? I mean, so far, Adonis seems to fit all our criteri-
	+ Cerberus (pissed): WOOF!
	+ Ophelia (startled): AHHH!!!
	+ Ophelia (panicking): This... This dog! It’s got three heads!
	+ Cerberus (furious): *growls*
	+ Ophelia (horrified): He’s going to eat us! What are we going to do?!
	+ Ophelia (sweating): I’ve got this packet of beef jerky with me, do you think he will eat this?
	+ Ophelia (nervous): Well... It’s worth a try!
	+ Ophelia (nervous smile; holding a beef packet): There boy! Do you want this?
	+ Cerberus (drooling): ...
	+ Cerberus (sticking out his tongue adorably): Woof woof!
	+ Ophelia (sweating): Then come here and get it!

Cerberus runs to Ophelia and she feeds him the beef jerky...

* + Ophelia and Cerberus (Ophelia; petting Cerberus; relieved): Good boy! Mia, I think he may have taken a liking to me!
	+ Ophelia and Cerberus (Ophelia; smiling): You must be the infamous Cerberus, I’ve always wondered how you looked in person. Now go along, boy! Your owner must be looking for you!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): I was told that Cerberus was a Molossian dog, but it turns out he was actually a hellhound!
	+ Ophelia (serious): Cerberus is Hades’ dog. We know our killer owns a hellhound and since Elvira lives with Hades, I think we should put this on her profile too!
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): Anyway, what do you say about visiting the victim’s office again?
* Investigate Persephone’s desk.
	+ Ophelia (shocked): Damn, that envelope has a lot of cash! Do you think that’s Persephone’s salary? She’s an employee here after all!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): There’s something written on the envelope, but I can’t quite see what it is. We’ll have to recover it!
	+ Ophelia (blushing): And uh oh! This folder looks confidential!
	+ Ophelia (serious): But if we want to catch Persephone’s killer, we need to know about her! Lets take this folder to Yoyo!
* Send the folder to Yoyo (Pre-request: Investigate Persephone’s desk).
	+ Yoyo (pissed): I knew I shouldn’t have worn this bikini! I didn’t bring any clothes with me and now I have to stay barely dressed the entire investigation!
	+ Ophelia (eye rolling): At least you don’t have to leave the ship! We literally had the king of the underworld see us in our swimsuits!
	+ Ophelia (curious): Did you go through the folder?
	+ Yoyo (thinking): I did and it looks like our victim was facing some problems in her marriage...
	+ Ophelia (confused): Wait? What is the paperwork about? Were Hades and Persephone having a divorce?!
	+ Yoyo (blushing): Oh no! Nothing to that extreme! But the two have been seeing a marriage counselor!
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): Hades didn’t mention that his marriage was in the rocks? You’re right, we have to go see him again!
* Ask Hades about his and Persephone’s marital problems (1 star; Pre-request: Send the folder to Yoyo).
	+ Hades (frowning): I’m running out of patience, so I hope you are getting close to finding out who killed my wife!
	+ Ophelia (sweating): We still have a bit of work to do, but we came here to talk about something else.
	+ Ophelia (curious): We searched your wife’s office, and we found this folder/
	+ Hades (pissed): Hey! Those are for the eyes of our therapist only!
	+ Ophelia (sweating): We’re sorry for being nosey! But... You failed to mention you and Persephone were facing marital problems...
	+ Ophelia (curious): Did Elvira have anything to do with this?
	+ Hades (eye rolling): Absolutely not! Persephone couldn’t care less about Elvira, and she shouldn’t as I was kind enough to overlook her affair with that hunter for centuries!
	+ Hades (crossing his arms): But ever since she’s returned last month, I’ve started noticing how “off” she was acting. Elvira herself voiced her concerns and delayed her departure to investigate what was going on...
	+ Hades (covering his face): I feared I may have done something to anger her, but she wouldn’t tell me what it is. So I signed us both in couple therapy so she could voice her problems to me!
* Recover name on envelope (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate Persephone’s desk).
	+ Ophelia (thinking): So the money in the envelope is for Thanatos..
	+ Ophelia (shocked): And look, he left a message on the envelope! “Persephone, I can’t accept this anymore! Hades needs to know!”
	+ Ophelia (confused): Was Persephone trying to bribe Thanatos?! But for what?!
	+ Ophelia (serious): If she’s done something horrible, we have the right to know! Lets go ask Thanatos what this is all about!
* Ask Thanatos why Persephone tried to bribe him (1 star; Pre-request: Recover name on envelope).
	+ Ophelia (curious): Mr Thanatos, we found this envelope at Persephone’s office. Can you tell us why she was giving you money and for what reason were you refusing it?
	+ Thanatos (wiping his sweat): Oh gods, I was hoping I could come clean for this by myself...
	+ Thanatos (crossing his arms): Since I plan to tell Hades anyway, I may as well tell you too, but around the end of summer, Persephone went on a wrath, resulting in multiple deaths...
	+ Ophelia (confused): She did? But wouldn’t we have heard about this? At least in the form of a hurricane, a wildfire or something?
	+ Thanatos (serious): No one heard about this as Persephone and her mother tried as hard as they could to cover it up!
	+ Thanatos (covering his face): And they did it... With my help...
	+ Thanatos (sweating): Persephone came to me with an envelope full of money and she ordered me to harvest the souls of the dead without listing any names on the database and mentioning it to Hades...
	+ Thanatos (shocked): And when the souls got to the underworld, she overworked Charon by forcing him to ferry all of them in a very short time, in fear that Hades would find out!
	+ Thanatos (covering his face): I agreed to stay silent of the matter, but guilt was taking over me so I returned the envelope to Persephone and told her that I’ll tell Hades of everything!
	+ Thanatos (shocked): And she laughed, claiming she has no idea what I was talking about and Hades wouldn’t believe a word I would say!
	+ Ophelia (curious): And how did you react to her pretending ignorance?
	+ Thanatos (offended): I didn’t kill her if that’s what you’re instituting! I wouldn’t even dare to try, she’s a lot more powerful than I am!
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): We hope you’re telling the truth, because if you did kill Persephone, I’m pretty sure the next soul Hades will make you harvest is your own’s!
	+ Ophelia (serious): Mia, Thanatos mentioned that Persephone overworked Charon and I don’t the ferryman was appreciable towards this, lets go speak with him!
* Question Charon if the victim overworked him (1 star; Pre-request: Ask Thanatos why Persephone tried to bribe him).
	+ Charon (serious): Greetings, where do you wish to go for the price of one obol?
	+ Ophelia (serious): We didn’t come for you to ferry us, we came to ask you questions about the queen!
	+ Ophelia (curious): Thanatos told us she went on a wrath and that she rushed you into ferrying the souls of the dead to cover it up? Is that right?
	+ Charon (furious): This wasn’t even the worse of it! I barely made any money out of it!
	+ Charon (eye rolling): I don’y mind being overworked, I mean yes it does take me away from seeing my hellhound back home, but it isn’t like I’ve got much to do in my spare time!
	+ Charon (pissed): But I am going to work for extra hours, I expect to be rewarded for it! But the queen made me ferry even those who didn’t receive their rites of burial! Which was the majority of whom she killed it!
	+ Charon (angry): I barely made enough money to buy a bottle of *Eternal Youth* moisturizer and I had to borrow some from Hades!

Later, along the River Styx...

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): It looks like Persephone wasn’t as kind as the myths made her out to be.
	+ Ophelia (blushing): I mean, committing a mass murder and then forcing others to cover it up? Geez! She really lives up to her title as queen if the underworld!
	+ Ophelia (serious): There’s still a lot more we need to know about her killer, it’s about time we take another look at River Styx!
* Investigate stream.
	+ Ophelia (shocked): That crown matches the earrings the victim was wearing- It must be hers!
	+ Ophelia (serious): We need to take this to Hasuro, maybe he could find something that could lead us to the killer!
	+ Ophelia (curious): What else have you found, a collar?
	+ Ophelia (glad): We know the killer owns a hellhound, they must have dropped it! April said she wanted to be useful, so lets have her examine the collar!
* Send the collar to April (Killer attribute: The killer weighs over 170 pounds).
	+ April (covering her face): I examined the collar as you asked me, and I’m afraid the killer didn’t leave anything that could lead you to their tracks!
	+ Ophelia (pissed): So we’re in a dead end, great!
	+ April (confident): But, I think I figured out something that could help you catch them!
	+ April (thinking): I measured the circumference of the collar and by doing so, I calculate the size of their hellhound.
	+ April (smiling): Then I used these calculations to determine how much force the killer’s got to apply, and came to the conclusion they have to weigh at least 170 pounds!
	+ Ophelia (glad): So the killer weighs 170 pounds? Lets write that on their profile!
* Send crown to Hasuro (Killer attribute: The killer has scars).
	+ Ophelia (curious): Hasuro, did you get anything from examining the crown?
	+ Hasuro (serious): I did! I found traces of a powder sticking on the crown!
	+ Hasuro (thinking): I analyzed the powder and it turns out its a mixture of herbs..
	+ Hasuro (smiling): A mixture used by supernaturals to treat scars! And since your victim had none on her body, they must’ve been left by the killer!

After completing all the tasks...

* + Ophelia (serious): We’ve got all the clues needed to find our killer so lets go get them before Hades loses his patience!
* Arrest the killer (1 star; Guilty: Adonis).
	+ Ophelia (serious): Adonis, you are under arrest for the assassination of Persephone, the queen of the underworld!
	+ Adonis (shocked): You must’ve gotten the wrong person! I loved Persephone, I would never harm her!
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): Then why did we found traces of *Eternal Youth* moisturizer on her body?
	+ Adonis (scratching his head): Immortality doesn’t always mean youthfulness! Many people in the underworld use this to keep up with appearances! You need much better than that to prove that I killed her!
	+ Ophelia (eye rolling): Like the herbs you use to heal your scars? You’ve left some on Persephone’s crown!
	+ Adonis (shrugging his shoulders): Almost everyone here used to be dead! You’ll find plenty of people with scars like mine!
	+ Ophelia (pissed): But we found YOUR dog’s collar on the crime scene! Adonis, we know that you killed Persephone! Why would you murder the woman who brought you back from the dead!
	+ Adonis (furious): Because I did not! That woman was NOT Persephone!
	+ Ophelia (confused): Then who is she? Can you elaborate?
	+ Adonis (panicking): I- I don’t know! But I just knew from the moment I saw her that she was a fraud!
	+ Adonis (pissed): And the fact that I even managed to kill her should be proof enough for that!
	+ Adonis (confused): Persephone is a goddess! She is IMMUNE to the River Styx! Hell, she even sometimes swam in it and it never brought her any harm!
	+ Adonis (pissed): Which means whoever died there, it cannot be her! It’s got to be either a doppelgänger or someone wearing a disguise!
	+ Ophelia (holding her head): I... really don’t know what to say to all this. Adonis, I’m afraid we need to take you to Hades...

At the throne room.

* + Ophelia (serious): Your Grace, after doing some heavy investigating, we managed to find out who killed your queen!
	+ Hades (confused): Adonis?! Words cannot express my shock! What made you kill Persephone and how did you even do it?!
	+ Adonis (panicking): Your Grace, I did NOT kill Persephone! That person in that river was not her, you have to believe me!
	+ Hades (covering his face): The only reason I brought you to life was because Persephone wanted to make you her lover...
	+ Hades (pissed): But seeing that you not only killed her, but also have the nerve to deny so, it is time you finally meet the day of judgement! Your trial will proceed tomorrow!

After handing Adonis over.

* + Ophelia (holding her head): My brain honestly can’t process anything going on right now!
	+ Ophelia (shocked): Do you think what Adonis said was true, was the Persephone whose murder we investigating, a fake?!
	+ Ophelia (covering her face): Something tells me we aren’t returning home anytime soon...

## The Kidnapping Of Persephone (1/6)

* + Mary (confused): I don’t mean to be impatient, but... When are we returning back to the surface?
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; eye rolling): Yeah! We solved the murder just as Elvira asked us to, so why aren’t we back yet?
	+ Ophelia (covering her face): Guys, I don’t think our job here is done yet!
	+ Yoyo and Hasuro (Hasuro; confused): What do you mean, has Elvira given us another task?!
	+ April and Maverick (Maverick; pissed): The hell she will! She can’t just give us tasks and expect us to do it without asking if we’re okay with it! I’m going to go talk to he-
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): She didn’t. But Mia and I feel something strange is going on in the underworld...
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Zachary; curious): Can you explain exactly what’s weirding you two out?
	+ Ophelia (thinking): When we arrested Persephone’s killer, he told us that the woman we found in the river isn’t even her...
	+ Natalie (shocked): But I’ve met Persephone, and she looks exactly like her!
	+ Ophelia (confused): This is what he told us and if you think about it... It makes sense, I mean how did the river manage to a divine-being like her?!
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Zachary; thinking): You raise a good question, and I think I know how to get the answer.
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Zachary; serious): I’m going to ask Styx herself!
	+ April and Maverick (April; confused): You’re going to talk to a river?!
	+ Mary (crossing her arms): Believe me, this isn’t the strangest thing I’ve heard yet...
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Zachary; awkward grin): Styx isn’t just a river, she’s also the goddess of hatred and promises. And as the son of Poseidon, I can interact with other water deities so I should be able to contact her spiri-

AHHH!!!

* + Yoyo and Hasuro (Yoyo; shocked): Did you guys here that?! Someone just screamed!
	+ Ophelia (panicking): Not just one person, but many! And they’re coming from the Pure Blood Hotel!
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Madelina; confuses): Pure Blood? What is that, a K. J. Howling novel?!
	+ Ophelia (blushing): It’s the hotel where Persephone’s killer was staying at. We had to go there to investigate the murder.
	+ Natalie (worried): Do you think the people there are in danger?!
	+ Ophelia (sweating): Well, I don’t want to find out!
	+ Natalie (serious): If they are in danger, then we have to save them! Mia, will you come with me? Great, lets go!

At the hotel...

* + Natalie (shocked): What happened in here?! The windows are completely shattered!
	+ Natalie (thinking): There’s a lady standing sitting inside, do you think she saw anything happened?
	+ Natalie (curious): Should we go ask her or do you want to join Zachary to talk with Styx first?
* Ask the receptionist what happened to the hotel (1 star).
	+ Natalie (blushing): Excuse me, ma’am?
	+ Edwinata (smiling): Edwinata at your service, how may I help you?
	+ Natalie (nervous grin): We heard screams coming from this place and... We were wondering, what happened here?!
	+ Edwinata (grinning): Nothing serious! Just some wild animal causing a havoc and it crashed itself into the hotel! The hotel manager will have the windows fixed in no time!
	+ Natalie (shocked): Did you see how that animal looked?
	+ Edwinata (smiling; holding a cup of flaming tea): I’m afraid not, I was busy making myself some tea! Would you like some, it’s still hot!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): I can see that, but no thanks!
	+ Natalie (covering her face): Well, that was helpful...
	+ Natalie (determined): I guess that means we need to learn what that creature was by ourselves!
* Investigate the hotel lobby (Pre-request: Ask the receptionist what happened to the hotel).
	+ Natalie (curious): Do you think we may find something under this pile of bricks?
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): I would like to help, but I have really delicate hands, so I’ll have to leave you this dig through this yourself... Sorry...
* Search pile of bricks (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the hotel lobby).
	+ Natalie (shocked): You found an amulet? But what is that strange symbol carved on it?!
	+ Natalie (thinking): Do you think it could be a curse or some kind of hex?
	+ Natalie (smiling): We have a witch onboard- Madelina! Maybe she knows what this symbol means, lets have her look at the amulet!
* Send the amulet to Madelina (Pre-request: Investigate the hotel lobby).
	+ Natalie (curious): Madelina, do you know what spell this symbol represents?
	+ Madelina (covering her face): First of all, that isn’t a spell, but I do recognize this symbol... Unfortunately.
	+ Natalie (worried): Why? Is it a bad thing?!
	+ Madelina (blushing): N-no... but... I’m not proud of this, but you see...
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Back when I was thirteen-ish, I... Went through an astrogirl phase. I was like super into zodiac signs...
	+ Natalie (curious): What’s so bad about this?
	+ Madelina (covering her face): It’s just embarrassing, okay? Anyway...
	+ Madelina (serious): The symbol on the amulet is actually the constellation of Taurus!
	+ Natalie (confused): But, what does this have to do with the attack?
	+ Ophelia (shocked): I think I know how this is linked!
	+ Ophelia (thinking): Elvira told me something about the constellation of Taurus years ago, I don’t remember what it is, but it had something to do with Persephone!
	+ Ophelia (serious): I think she may have the answer of what broke into the hotel!
	+ Natalie (serious): If your friend knows something about the attack, then we have to go talk to her!
* Have Elvira tell you the story of Taurus (1 star; Pre-request: Send the amulet to Madelina).
	+ Elvira (innocent smirk): Ophelia, you’re still here? I thought you return to the surface by now!
	+ Ophelia (eye rolling): We would have IF we knew how.
	+ Ophelia (crossing her arms): But we have some questions for you before we go.
	+ Natalie (handing the amulet): Do you know anything about this amulet?
	+ Elvira (shocked): Where did you find this?!
	+ Natalie (blushing): At the Pure Blood Hotel, is that what its called? It was dropped by an animal who crashed the place.
	+ Ophelia (curious): Do you recognize this amulet?
	+ Elvira (thinking): I do, it was worn by Cerus!
	+ Natalie (confused): Who is Cerus?!
	+ Elvira (smiling): I think you’ll know him by by his other name- Taurus. He’s a wild bull known for destroying anything in his sight, until Persephone tamed him and turned him into her pet! The constellation of Taurus was created to honor their friendship!
	+ Elvira (covering her face): But seeing that Persephone is dead now, it looks like the bull went back to his old ways!
	+ Natalie (shocked): What can we do now?!
	+ Elvira (innocent smirk): No worries! I’ll just tell Hades and he’ll have this dealt with in no time! But thank you for the warning anyway!
* Contact Styx (1 star).
	+ Zachary (sweating): Styx is known to be a little aggressive. So just in case, be prepared for a fight.
	+ Zachary (hopeful): I’m just going to dip my hand on the water and send her a signal. She should appear to us in the matter of seconds.

Zachary puts his hand on the water and meditates...

* + Zachary (meditating): ...

And suddenly, a woman rises above the waters...

* + Styx (pissed): Mortals! How dare you bring disturbance to me!
	+ Zachary (nervous grin): Our apologies to you, ó great goddess, but we came to you seeking for answers!
	+ Styx (cross): You may ask me any question, which I may decide whether to answer or not.
	+ Zachary (crossing his arms): I’m sure you are aware the queen of the underworld have recently passed...
	+ Styx (eye rolling): I heard about it. What a tragedy!
	+ Zachary (confused): And she was killed by being pushed into your river. But as far as we know, isn’t your river supposed to be harmless to gods and creatures of divinity?
	+ Styx (laughing): Ahahahahaha!
	+ Zachary (curious): Why are you laughing?
	+ Styx (grinning): Did it come across your mind that maybe she isn’t a god?
	+ Zachary (confused): But that’s impossible! She is the queen of the underworld!
	+ Styx (eye rolling): So what? As you have said, if she was TRULY a “goddess”, my river would’ve caused no harm to her!
	+ Zachary (shocked): Mia, didn’t you say Adonis claimed that the woman he killed wasn’t Persephone?! What if he was actually telling the truth?
	+ Zachary (serious): Styx, that lady who died in your river... That wasn’t Persephone, was she?!
	+ Styx (shrugging her shoulders): How am I supposed to know? But speaking from a place of honestly, I myself was surprised when I learned of her “death”.
	+ Styx (threatening): I gave you all the answers you need, so if you don’t mind I shall leave you be. Do not disturb me again!

Styx dives back into the river.

* + Zachary (shocked): So the victim, she may not be Persephone after all!
	+ Zachary (confused): But then, who is she? And why does she look so much like the queen of the underworld?
	+ Zachary (crossing his arms): We still need better confirmation for this, but it seems like Styx doesn’t have the answers.
	+ Zachary (thinking): But I know who someone who may have! The god of death himself- Thanatos! He must’ve realized something strange while harvesting “Persephone’s” soul!
	+ Zachary (serious): We have to go ask him, hopefully he can help!
* Ask Thanatos if he noticed anything strange about Persephone (1 star; Pre-request: Contact Styx).
	+ Zachary (curious): Thanatos, can we have a minute?
	+ Thanatos (in a rush): Sure, but you have to quick! I’ve been informed that a shooting had taken place and there are plenty of souls I need to collect!
	+ Zachary (thinking): It’s about Persephone, have you noticed anything strange about her when harvesting her soul? We have suspicions that the body we found may not be even be hers...
	+ Thanatos (eye rolling): Even if this is the case, I wouldn’t have noticed. I just collect souls- I don’t bother talking to them because most of the time they’ll just beg me to let them live, as if it is my power to make this decision!
	+ Thanatos (thinking): However, if you suspect any foul play, you can go through my laptop where I keep a full database of the dead. I left it somewhere at Persephone’s office.
	+ Thanatos (in a rush): Anyway, it’s time for me to go! I wish you luck!

Thanatos flies away...

* + Zachary (smiling): So Thanatos has a database on the dead? We could use that find out who died back at the river!
	+ Zachary (determined): Lets go to Persephone’s office and look for his laptop!
* Investigate Persephone’s office (Pre-request: Ask Thanatos if he noticed anything strange about Persephone).
	+ Zachary (thinking): This must be Thanatos’ laptop, the background doesn’t look like something the goddess of spring would use.
	+ Zachary (crossing his arms): And it looks like we need to enter a password to open it...
	+ Zachary (covering his face): If only we asked him before he went! Do you think you can unlock it?
* Unlock Thanatos’ laptop (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate Persephone’s office).
	+ Zachary (happy): You unlocked Thanatos’ laptop! And look, there’s a whole database of people who died today!
	+ Zachary (awkward grin): Around 150 thousands people die per day, and I don’t feel like reading that many files! How about we have Yoyo go through them instead? Hopefully she won’t mind...
* Send the laptop to Yoyo (Pre-request: Unlock Thanatos’ laptop).
	+ Yoyo (pissed): 150 THOUSAND FILES?! You really expected me to check 150 thousand files?!
	+ Zachary (awkward grin): We’re sorry if that was too much work for you, but... you didn’t actually go through them all, did you?
	+ Yoyo (crossing her arms): No. After going through a hundred files, I realized there was a feature which allows you to see how many deaths there were per region.
	+ Yoyo (shocked): I set it to the underworld, and for some reason, Persephone’s name wasn’t listed in the database?!
	+ Yoyo (confused): In fact there was only one death in the underworld today and it was of a mint-plant nymph called Minthe!
	+ Zachary (shocked): Mia, doesn’t she kind of looks like Persephone?! What if she was the person you and Ophelia found at the river!
	+ Zachary (serious): We’ve got to go check with Hasuro! Thank you for your help, Yoyo!
* Ask Hasuro to let you see Persephone’s body (1 star; Pre-request: Send the laptop to Yoyo).
	+ Hasuro (grinning): Zach, have and you Mia spoken with that river goddess?
	+ Zachary (curious): We did. Is “Persephone’s” body still in here?
	+ Hasuro (curious): It is, what do you want to do with it?
	+ Zachary (serious): There’s just something we need to check, ASAP!

Zachary and Mia approach “Persephone”.

* + ”Persephone” (dead): ...
	+ Zachary (thinking): Let me see...

Zachary rubs “Persephone’s” face but it is still dry.

* + Hasuro (shrugging his shoulders): Y’know, if she had any face paint on, I would’ve notices it during my autopsy!
	+ Zachary (confused): Odd...
	+ Zachary (confident): She must be using glamor! But where is she storing it?
	+ Zachary (serious): Ah, yes! The necklace!

Zachary rips out the necklace from the body and suddenly “Persephone’s” body transforms.

* + Minthe (dead): ...
	+ Zachary (happy): Aha! So it is Minthe!
	+ Hasuro (shocked): Minthe?! Who the hell is that-
	+ Zachary (serious): It doesn’t matter who she is, what matters is that we know now that she isn’t Persephone!
	+ Zachary (confused): But if she isn’t Persephone, then what happened to the queen of the underworld?!
	+ Zachary (serious): I think its better we don’t think about this right now. First, we need to let Hades know his wife is alive!

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person-view**
At the deck.

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; shocked): So Adonis was telling us the truth?! The victim is not Persephone?!
	+ Natalie and Madelina (Natalie; shocked): But how is that possible?! I swear she looked exactly like her-
	+ Mia and Zachary (Zachary; crossing his arms): That’s because she was using glamor to look like the queen! The victim is actually a plant-nymph called Minthe!
	+ April, Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; pissed): Goddamnit! Don’t tell me we’re expected to find the real Persephone now?!
	+ Natalie and Madelina (both excited; Madelina): Does that mean we’re back together as a crew again?!
	+ Mia and Zachary (Mia; eye rolling): Says who? This depends on whether Hades asks us to look for her or not and we have not told him that she’s alive yet!
	+ Mary (curious): Should I stay in the ship or tag along with you?
	+ Mia and Zachary (Zachary; serious): Stay, we’re only going to be away for a few minutes and then we’ll come back. The rest of you, lets go!
* Inform Hades that his wife is still alive (1 star).
	+ Hades (serious): I was informed that you wanted to see me, may I know what you’ve come to seek?
	+ Mia and Zachary (Zachary; serious): We came here to give you some updates on “Persephone’s” murder investigation.
	+ Hades (curious): What? Have you incriminated the wrong culprit? Because I am sure what Adonis told me counts as a confession... Sort of.
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; sweating): N-no, we caught the right guy, but...
	+ Mia and Zachary (Mia; serious): The victim isn’t even your wife! Persephone is alive!
	+ Hades (confused): What? Then who’s body did you find?! Did my wife have a twin which I don’t know about?!
	+ Mia and Zachary (Zachary; thinking): The victim used glamor to disguise herself as the queen of the underworld. Her real name is Minthe and she is no goddess, but a mint-plant nymph!
	+ Hades (shocked): MINTHE?!
	+ Elvira (curious): Your Grace, is that name familiar to you?
	+ Hades (blushing): Minthe and I... We used to date a long time ago, but I’ve ended things with her after my marriage to Persephone. Last I’ve heard of her, she claimed herself “superior” to my wife and she punished her by turning her into a mint-plant.
	+ Hades (relieved): I’m happy that my wife is still alive, but...
	+ Hades (shocked): This means something else must’ve happened to her! She must’ve been kidnapped, o-or worse!
	+ Hades (angry): DEMETER! This has to be her doing! She’s always tried to stop Persephone from going back to the underworld!
	+ Hades (furious): I swear if she did anything to harm her, I will make her pay-
	+ Elvira (nervous smile): Hades... I don’t think you should jump to conclusions. Demeter would never do such a thing to her daughter! Maybe Persephone is just cross with you?
	+ Hades (holding his head): You’re right... I need to calm down...
	+ Hades (thinking): I’m going to cancel Adonis’ trial and he shall be pardoned for the murder. As fore you, I have a quest...
	+ April, Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; eye rolling): Oh, here we go!
	+ Hades (covering his face): I still suspect that Demeter has something to do with Persephone’s disappearance, but I don’t want to act now as I don’t want to cause any unnecessary bloodshed.
	+ Hades (serious): Demeter lives with the other gods at Mount Olympus, so I’m going to transport you there and I need you to investigate her dwellings!
	+ Hades (crossing his arms): If you find any signs of Persephone being imprisoned there, I want you to report back to me immediately!
	+ Mia and Zachary (Mia; shocked): Can we talk about this firs-
	+ Hades (serious): Good luck with your quest!

The ground underneath the crew starts cracking...

* + Natalie and Madelina (both startled): Ah!!!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; panicking): Not again!

The ground breaks and the whole crew fall into the drop.

The crew woke up in Mount Olympus, at night.

* + Mia and Zachary (waking up; Zachary): Guys, are all of you okay?
	+ April, Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; checking himself): I don’t see any missing limbs..
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; dizzy): Do they really have to keep teleporting us like that?!
	+ Natalie and Madelina (Natalie; curious): Where are we...?
	+ Mia and Zachary (Zachary; thinking): Hades said he’ll teleport us to Olympus, this must be where we are!
	+ April, Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; eye rolling): Great! This means we need to do his stupid quest if we want to go back home!
	+ Mia and Zachary (Zachary; covering his face): I shouldn’t have told Mary to stay behind! Now she is at the underworld all by herself!
	+ April, Hasuro and Maverick (April; curious): Does any of you remember what that gray guy asked us to do?
	+ Mia and Zachary (Mia; crossing her arms): He wants us to search my... mother’s dwellings. But it is getting late, so I think it’s best we have a rest first.
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; shocked): But where?! We left our ship back in the underworld!
	+ April, Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; shrugging his shoulders): We could always just lay on the grass?
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; shivering): You’re joking, right? It’s like fifty degrees right now!
	+ Mia and Zachary (Zachary; serious): If we keep on walking maybe we could find an inn which we can stay at. Hopefully one that has a fireplace!
	+ Natalie and Madelina (Madelina; curious): Isn’t Olympus the home of gods? Maybe if we knock on one of the houses, one of them will let us home inside?
	+ Mia and Zachary (Mia; eye rolling): You really think the gods will welcome mortals into their home-
	+ Artemis (shocked): Madelina?!
	+ Natalie and Madelina (Madelina; confused): Did someone yell my name?

The crew turn to see who yelled Madelina’s house and they find Artemis in one of the houses, sticking herself out of the window...

* + Natalie and Madelina (Madelina; shocked): Artemis?!
	+ Artemis (confused): What are you doing outside in a cold night?! Come inside!
	+ Mia and Zachary (Mia; crossing her arms): Looks like we found a place to stay.

The crew head to Artemis’ home and the girls are allowed inside, but when the boys showed up...

* + Artemis (serious): Stop.
	+ Hasuro, Maverick and Zachary (Zachary; blushing): Lady Artemis, is there a problem?
	+ Artemis (hand on hip): ...
	+ Hasuro, Maverick and Zachary (Maverick; covering his face): Don’t tell me she’s bringing up her feminist bullshit!
	+ Natalie and Madelina (Madelina; biting her lip): Artemis, we talked about this...
	+ Artemis (eye rolling): Fiiiiiiiiine! You may join the other boys at the couch!
	+ Yoyo, Ophelia and April (Ophelia; sweating): Other... boys?

At the couch, three gods are seen playing video games on a console...

* + Apollo (furious; holding a console controller): What the hell, Eros?! I thought we were at the same team! Why did you kill me for?!
	+ Eros (grinning; holding a console controller): There can only be one winner and I sure as hell won’t wait for you to kill me yourself!
	+ Apollo (pissed): You fucking piece of shit, I’m going to fuck you up!
	+ Eros (laughing): Hey, calm down! It’s just a game, bro!
	+ Hermes (pissed; holding a console controller): Damnit! I just got killed!
	+ Eros (pissed): Oh great! Look at what you did Apollo! Someone killed me while I was looking away!
	+ Apollo (serious): Serves you right, you treacherous snake! I’m never trusting you in a PVP again!
	+ Hasuro and Maverick (both; shocked): DAD?!
	+ Apollo (grinning): You didn’t tell me you were expecting visitors, Artie. Who are your pretty friends?
	+ Artemis (pissed): Don’t even think about flirting with them!
	+ Apollo (innocent smirk): Flirt? I’m not flirting! I just want to...

The naked Apollo gets up from the coach, making the towel on his lap fall on the ground, revealing a sight to behold...

* + Apollo (scratching his head): Get to know them..
	+ Yoyo, Ophelia and April (Yoyo and April; holding their laughter): ...
	+ Artemis (pissed): For gods’ sake Apollo, put on some clothes!
	+ Artemis (hand on hip): And also try to include the boys into whatever the hell you’re doing while I talk with the girls!
	+ Apollo (eye rolling): Fine. You play video games?
	+ Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; thinking): We used to, but I lost my console during the civil war, so-
	+ Hermes (smiling; snapping his fingers): That’s great! Hop in and play with us!

Suddenly consoles spawn on Hasuro, Maverick and Zachary’s hands.

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; holding a controller; excited): Cool!
	+ Zachary (blushing; holding a controller): Thanks, but I’m not really into video game-
	+ Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; smiling; holding a controller): Come on, Zach! You’re going to have so much fun, believe me!
	+ Zachary (innocent smirk): Alright!

The boys hop into the couch and play with the gods. The girls talk with Artemis while she is washing dishes.

* + Artemis (washing disges): Seeing that the guys are busy, this means we’re free to talk about whatever we like.
	+ Natalie and Madelina (Madelina; happy): Thank you so much Artemis for letting us crash into your place!
	+ Artemis (grinning): No problem, I wasn’t going to let you freeze yourselves outside!
	+ Artemis (hand on hip): But I do have some questions. For example, what brought you into Olympus?
	+ Yoyo, Ophelia and April (Ophelia; crossing her arms): Hades. He sent us here to do a quest for him.
	+ Artemis (washing dishes): That sounds like something the gods would do, so what is the quest about? Or did he ask you to keep it a secret?
	+ Mia (eye rolling): Persephone went missing and he wants us to break into Demeter’s realm to find her!

Artemis suddenly drops a plate.

* + Artemis (shocked): Kore... Is missing?!
	+ Natalie and Madelina (Madelina; confused): Who’s Kore?!
	+ Artemis (covering her face): You must not familiar with this. But Kore was Persephone’s name before she joined the underworld. It’s what her close friends call her in Olympus.
	+ Mia (curious): Were you close to Persephone?
	+ Artemis (hand on hip): Of course we were! She’s my sister! Well, half-sister but you get what I mean!
	+ Artemis (covering her face): We were also housemates before she eloped with Hades and whenever she it’s time she came to the mortal world, she’d crash into my place and occupy the other room!
	+ Natalie and Madelina (Madelina; sympathetic): We can’t imagine how worries you must be feeling. We promise you that we’ll find Persephone and make sure that she is safe!
	+ Artemis (worried smile): Thanks, I know you will...
	+ Mia (confused): I know this is probably not the right time to ask this question, but, aren’t you supposed to be with your huntresses? We had no idea you had a place here?
	+ Artemis (hand on hip): It’s fall, most creatures are preparing for hibernation so there is nothing for us to hunt down.
	+ Artemis (shrugging her shoulders): So you can say that we’re technically on vacation.
	+ Artemis (smiling): Most of my huntresses are nymphs, so they simply led normal lives in the forest. As for the human girls, the people of Lykaon were kind enough to lend them accommodation until the spring.
	+ Yoyo, Ophelia and April (April; curious): I heard about your pack and I’m really interested in expanding my knowledge about the subject. Is it true that anyone who joins the hunt is rewarded with immortality?
	+ Artemis (thinking): Eternal life, but not immortality. There are also vows and sacrifices you need to make. A huntress is not allowed to enter relationships.
	+ Yoyo, Ophelia and April (April; eye rolling): I’m perfectly fine with this, I am so done with boys?

April glares at Maverick.

* + Artemis (curious): Breakup?
	+ Yoyo, Ophelia and April (April; crossing her arms): Not exactly. I’m still deciding whether I should give him a second chance or not.
	+ Artemis (hand on hip): Whatever the choice you make, I can sense that you are no virgin so I’m afraid I can’t accept you in my pack.
	+ Yoyo, Ophelia and April (April; disappointed): Dang it!
	+ Artemis (covering her face): You all must be very tired right now, so you should go get some rest.
	+ Artemis (serious): Once the sun is back, I promise that I’ll take you to Demeter’s field-
	+ Apollo (furious): FUCK! That stupid game!

Apollo rages and throws his controller at the TV, forming a hole on it.

* + TV (damaged): ...
	+ Eros and Hermes (Hermes; shocked): Bro, I think you broke the TV...
	+ Apollo (sweating): Whoops...
	+ Artemis (shocked): MY TV!
	+ Eros and Hermes (Eros; laughing): Welp, he is in deep trouble!
	+ Artemis (furious): What have done to it, you fucking idiot!
	+ Apollo (nervous grin): Artie, do not panic! I’m sure Hephaestus can get it fixed-
	+ Artemis (pissed): Fixed? You mad a fucking hole on it! I have to but a new one!
	+ Artemis (serious): And you’re the one who’ll be paying for it!
	+ Apollo (stumped): Artemis, I am sorry, but jot THAT sorry.
	+ Artemis (pissed): And look at that mess you made! You’ll be cleaning that too before you leave!
	+ Apollo (eye rolling): Okay, NOW you are being unreasonable!
	+ Artemis (hand on hip): Oh, I’m being unreasonable?
	+ Artemis (pissed; holding a bow and arrow): I’ll show you what is unreasonable!
	+ Apollo (nervous grin): Okay okay, I’ll buy you a new TV! Just put the bow down!
	+ Apollo (panicking): Ahhh!!!
	+ Hasuro, Maverick and Zachary (Maverick; excited): This’ll be fun to watch!
	+ Mia (sweating): Yeah... I’m not staying to see what happens next. I’m going to go sleep, goodnight.
