What I'm getting out of this is that Paul has two days to convert Persephone into a metalhead before she goes back to her mom's house.

"So, how did your trip to the the Greek afterlife go?"

"Turns out that with a little practice, Hades has a real talent for the electric guitar."

"..."

"And...and if he releases an album soon it was totally not my idea."

"...Paul."

"All I said was 'This place looks just like a heavy metal album cover!' It all just kind of, um snowballed from there."

hance1986 said:
Will Paul have to tell Hades about Erasmus Fry and how he enslaved a Muse, or is Fry already there?

According to Mr Zoat:

Mr Zoat said:
Depending how into Greek mythology he got, he either went to the Fields of Punishment or Hell.

So he's not having much fun either way.

Kidnapping goddesses before it was cool.

Hades has access to ancient Greek musicians specifically, and not any sort of recordings of their work. Which, magic aside, probably didn't exist when they were alive anyway.

So he's got a good selection to pick from for when he forms a band to take on tour with him.

Are there any good heavy metal names with 'dead' in the title that aren't already taken? Because he's going to need one.

So the entrance to the Underworld is a just tunnel underground right? Couldn't OL just bring a long fiber-optic cable, a computer, and pay for an internet subscription to bribe Hades with the internet? Then Hades can get some new music whenever he feels like.

Which would be worse? Persephone binge-watching streamed TV shows? Or Persephone becoming a fanfic writer?

I can picture Persephone's fanfiction being Vogon poetry levels of bad-awfulness.

For binge-watching, it's not fun to watch a TV show and have nobody to talk about it with.

Persephone: "Want to take a break from the Pit of Suffering and watch 'Sex in the City' with me?"
Medusa: "..."
Persephone: "Well?"
Medusa: "Give me a minute, I'm trying to figure out which will be less horrifying to endure."

I wonder if Muses ever go down into the underworld to hang out with greek artists?
Or just to relax, that IS where the greek paradise exists after all.

Sylvie-chan · Apr 4, 2016

Age of Mythology calls the Underworld Erebus. So I looked that up, of course, because I try not to share stuff I don't know anything about.

Erebus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Then I just kind of marveled at all the kids this guy has. Like, are you trying to out do Zeus..?

Anyway, I thought it might be sorta relevant, so enjoy the info.

hance1986 said:

There isn't anything forcing him to mention it. Fry's currently in prison, and there's no guarantee that he'd go to the Greek afterlife anyway.

Pinklestia said:
Oaths and memory spells sound way more reasonable than a trip to Hades.

Since the SI can't do that sort of magic, both would involve telling more people.

hance1986 said:

That whole thing was a massive misunderstanding.

Sylvie-chan said:

He is thousands of years old. Per years that's still less than most Humans manage.

During the earlier corrections you missed one.
The following 17:23 GMT -7 should be 15:23 GMT -7
The updates after it have been corrected but this one was during the snip so you probably skipped over it

Also considering the two at the end of my previous post I am assuming that they are correct

Thank you, corrected.

But considering the following one

(05:14 GMT -4 = 09:14 GMT)
Since the updates after it are chronologically older what order should I use on the final epub?
Should I keep the original post order or should I have them in chronoloogical order?

If I put it chronologically then the renegade update would be before this:

Specifically while the Renegade update was before the fight with the Dark Druid now it would be afterwards

Honestly I don't have a preference and it would be easier for me to keep the original order
On the other hand it would just be an annoyance I would deal with once so it is not such a big deal to reorder them chronologically

So which would you prefer @Mr Zoat

I've moved it to the correct point in my copy, but that isn't practical in the Story Only thread. The current position probably makes more sense in terms of flow. I'd probably move it, but it doesn't matter all that much.

Edit Also I found another one

These ones had the wrong hour and were corrected but apparently I didn't notice the minutes were the same

Thank you, corrected.

Dead Lyres. Taken, but I'm sure Hades could get around that.

Thanks to, who else, Zeus, IIRC.
And then Zeus, unlike in most cases, had to try and clean up the mess he'd made.

Yeah nothing wrong with having many kids over the years with someone you love.
Hades easily beats his two fellow brother-kings when it comes to being faithful, and unlike them he doesn't even get to stay in the same place as his wife half of the year.

Reminds me of a Marvel/Worm cross I read a while ago where Taylor gets Mjolnir. When she introduces herself as Thor the person she's talking to says that that name is taken. She just pats Mjolnir and says "I'd be happy to discus rights with them."

Is it like in the Dresden Files?

Hades stared at me for a long, intense period of silence and then breathed out something that might have been an extremely refined snort from his nose and sipped more wine. "She came of her own will. Her mother failed to cope. Empty-nest syndrome."

I leaned forward, fascinated despite myself. "Seriously? And . . . the pomegranate seeds thing?"

"Something of a political fiction," Hades said. "Hecate's idea, and my brother ran with it. As a compromise, no one came away from it happy."

"That's supposedly the mark of a good compromise," I said.

Hades grimaced and said, "It was necessary at the time."

"The stories don't record it quite that way," I said. "I seem to recall Hecate leadingDemeter in search of Persephone."

That comment won a flash of white, white teeth. "That much is certainly true. Hecate ledDemeter around. And around and around. It was her wedding present to us."

I blinked slowly at that notion. "A honeymoon free of your mother-in-law."

"Worth more than gold or jewels," Hades said.

No.

Still 'shipping Paul/Paula, and not just for the amusement value of Jade's and Artemis's reactions (and for that mater, Grayven's and his Jade's reactions). She's old enough (indeed, older than his real age) while still being in very good condition, she's reasonably intelligent, and they get along well when we do see them together, which is rather important. (EDIT: Though he'll probably need to call her Huntress, or use her Vietnamese name, when talking to her.)

Paul/Alkyone could be amusing, but would take a hell of a lot of justification, I think.

Richard Madoc is the one in prison. Erasmus Fry is dead. So giving Hades the heads up on a most deserving arsehole who is dead and reachable might be appreciated.

Oh, sorry, got confused there. No, sorry, he just went to Hell.

He's either already there, or in Hell and probably unreachable. And even angry Greek deities probably consider Hell a nasty enough punishment, anyway.

EDIT: And I see we have WoZ that it was Hell he ended up in.

And that's the story of how Ozzy became a preist, Metal a religious movement, and how Hades became the most powerful of the Greek gods.

The addendum was only that she would have to spend half her time in the underworld not that she couldn't spend longer if she wished.

Also I am pretty sure Hades could wave that effect if he so wished, so it's probably moot by now anyways.

Jarrik32 · Apr 4, 2016

Dear lord is Paul overthinking this. Admittedly just like he does EVERYTHING but man... Seriously worst case scenario it would take less than a second for him (with ring assistance) to create an account on a dating website after that he just needs to toss a coin to decide if he wants a one night stand or a medium term friends with benefits deal. Hell give Dearden a ring I'm sure she wouldn't mind a date.

The first one is the last one of the episode and the second one is the start of the nex one
The simplest solution is to make it later (maybe add an hour)

Also here the date goes back several days

At a guess 27th July is probably 17th August.
And it should be corrected in the index

Also this should be 31th December

Mr Zoat said:
30th December
01:55 GMT +4

Finally this is both an actual but also a possible mistake
First of all it should be 30th December
Also 18:39 GMT -5= 23:39 GMT so there is an extra hour between updates.

It could also be on purpose because in between Grayven gives an explanation and that could take time.

Other than that I checked everything again and I think these are the last ones

I'm going cross eyed from all these time zones. I take my hat off to you mad folks willing to deal with it all.

Yeah, I'm sure that nothing could possibly go wrong with giving a woman named "Obsession" an orange ring! I'm sure she'll use it responsibly and with restraint.
