[k] @Beryl Still, while I do admire the hustle, I can't[sr]help but wonder if maybe they're going too far?

[k] [charaFace I 1] @Beryl I'm worried the Olympian gods might be setting themselves up for one of those classic “pride goeth before a fall” scenarios, and that I'll have to kiss this sweet life I've got here goodbye!

They'll still never be able to touch her. [k] [charaFadeout J 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 6] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Beryl That so?

[k] @Beryl He's always had something of a rebellious[sr]streak to him, after all. If Kirschtaria...
