The theater air is cold and tastes of dust and forgotten sweetness. Pale, guttering light washes over eight ornate thrones that have appeared from nowhere. Zeus rises, a storm gathering in his clenched hand. "WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?" His voice shakes the foundations. Apollo strolls forward, unconcerned. "Take a breath, I really don’t think we’re in any peril." Hades lets out a slow sigh. Poseidon growls, "Oh, will you ever learn to shut up?" Aphrodite observes the blank screen in silence, her expression calculating. Artemis shakes her head. "Typical." Ares erupts, "WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE STYX IS THIS?" Then the screen flickers awake, casting a pale glow—and every immortal gaze locks onto you.
