Helena Troy's Estate

"Oh," said Helena, "I've love to darling, but as much as I hate to say it, think about it; the owner of an estate whose guests had just been massacred deciding to play incognito? That would raise a host of potentially messy questions. But tell you what; I can see you on the way out. Shall we?" She gestured towards a door leading to the garden, which presumably had a pathway of some sort that would lead out of the estate, and without any prying eyes.

Phyrrhos can't believe how stupid everyone here is, and fires a few shots into the air with his pistol.
"Now is not the time for small talk, those soldiers have likely seen our faces and reported us to their leaders. I see that everyone here is apparently a descendent of some god. We should talk about this all later but currently, I suggest we all leave "NOW."
As he delivers the last word, his aura of fear flares into life, darkening the light around him.

Charlotte Silverberg - With Helena Troy

There was something about Helena's playful choice of words that unnerved her, but Charlotte smiled and nodded, rummaging through her purse. "That sounds perfect; let me quickly call my chauffeur to let them know where to pick me up..."

Gregorio yelped and hit the floor when the pistol shot was fired. He and Suzie listened carefully to what was being said. Gregorio's eyes widened when he heard about the descendants of gods. Either it wasn't a hallucination, or this was still part of it. And judging by recent events, he was inclined to believe the former.

"How... how did he know??" Gregorio muttered, under his breath, his voice wavering slightly.

"Obviously we were meant to come here," Suzie pointed out. "Now stand up. You look really stupid like that."

Gregorio stood up, his legs shaking, and he dusted his shirt off. "But you're not... a descendant, are you?" he asked Suzie. Suzie shrugged.

"I dunno. But I'm your sister so why would I not be?" Suzie simply asked. Gregorio put a hand to his chin. She had a good point.

Helena Troy's Estate

As Phyrross fired his gun in the wake of an honest-to-God massacre, one that would set anyone on edge, the remaining bodyguards who weren't busy elsewhere promptly took a stance and — feeling a twinge of intense fear — fired at the descendant of the Greek fear God. Never mind the fact they didn't a believe of a word of what he said and probably assumed that he was a nut who was likely allied with the soldiers. Thankfully, they only managed to hit him in non-vital areas, but the lesson of the day was clear: Don't give a group of trained men with guns an excuse to turn your ass into grass.

-I can make people fight. It sucks.-

Then Pyrrhos made his point.

-Would you mind telling them that my house is nearby, and people can go there if they wish? I'd talk, but the sound of my voice tends to cause an irrational urge to punch something to surface, and so does looking into my eyes. My house is about a km away, and I feel like people will want to talk thrpugh this."

Fay had always taught Tahlia to be hospitable, and considering a lot of the people here helped fight, they can't be bad people.

Phyrrhos got hit by the bullets in the abdomen, hunched over, then stood back up. He pulled down his wrappings and walked over to the body guards, his aura flaring up. He stood in front of one and smiled.

"That all you've got?"

Helena Troy's Estate

The gunshots seemed to snap Helena out of her panic, instead turning to great annoyance. Who the hell shoots at the ceiling after a mass shooting? An idiot of a truly amazing caliber, no doubt. Suddenly the inevitable consequence happened and the bodyguards shot him in the abdomen - the young man apparently wasn't fazed. She pinched the bridge on her nose and sighed in irritation then disappeared in the underworld, only to appear moments later behind the man. Helena grabbed him roughly by the collar and dragged him back into the Underworld.

The Underworld

A white void surrounded them, punctuated with wandering souls. "The hell you think you're playing at, dickhead!?" Helena inquired with clear annoyance, "How'd you think that little stunt was gonna go!?" She still had him by the collar, partly because she didn't know if letting him go would get him stuck in the afterlife but mostly because he pissed her off.

Calling Hewie to her side with a whistle, she ran to where Pyrrhos to be.

Turning to the bodyguards, she smiled and typed:

-Sorry about this. This guy is dumb and confrontational. If you leave him alone, he'll leave you alone-

Since the danger seemed to be gone, Hewie ran back to the lightning dog.

"Oh...I guess that explains why you like to talk using texts."

Akio did admit that Phyrros had a point, even if he was being an ass about it. Nodding to Thalia, Akio stepped forward and whistled, getting the attention of the other descendants. It also stopped Raiju from snarling at the fear-inducing descendant.

"That's enough." He said, putting a little power into his voice to make it audible to everyone in the yard. Once he was sure nobody was going to fight again, Akio spoke in a normal volume. "The man does have a point. I'm sure nobody wants to explain how they managed to fend off armed killers."

"My friend here has offered to let us use her home as a place to continue this discussion." He continued, gesturing to Thalia. "So if there aren't any more problems...?"

Phyrrhos turned around and stared into her eyes with his black eyes.
In a flash, he punched her in the gut.
"Don't push your luck girl"
His aura flared up, now clearly visible to anyone who is looking at him.

The Underworld

The aura was visible only to the dead, who feared nothing but oblivion. Helena didn't have time to block the punch, receiving it with soft grunt of pain, "How about - thanks for stopping the heavily armed bodyguards from turning me into swiss cheese?" She replied through gritted teeth. The dead surrounded them and were none too happy with the man assaulting Hade's (distant) grand daughter. She waved them off, "Play nice or I'll have them finish the job, yeah mate?" She threatened, straightening up and pulling them both back into the hall, behind a convenient pillar.

Pyrrhos laughs and looks at her
"Do you think if I care if I die? I hate everything on this planet. The only thing I enjoy is spreading fear."
He walks closer
"But I think just found some way to spread more fear, so I'm going to go do that."
He begins to walk away, his aura disapating

Descendant of Mars
Helena Troy Estate

She wasn't all too convinced at the girl's answer, but it wasn't like she had a good reason to pry. Then there was another gunshot. In an instant, her blasters were in her hands and she was facing in the direction of the source, ready to fight. But then she blinked in surprise. Mere moments after she saw the man, she saw the woman she talked to appear out of nowhere and then dissapear with the man.

Well...at least her theory on god descendants is true. There are more than her.

She returned the fake blasters as she processed on what the guy said. Pretty much her thoughts. She turned her head to the direction of someone whistling. Whoever it was, it was probably another descendant so she followed it and she heard him say,

"...I'm sure nobody wants to explain how they managed to fend off armed killers."

She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Heh heh, yeah..."

"My friend here has offered to let us use her home as a place to continue this discussion." He continued, gesturing to a girl with a dog near him. "So if there aren't any more problems...?"

She thought for a moment. Her father would be very worried for her, but she still had to make a good explanation. Going back home with bulletholes in her arms would really make her father upset and question her. ...

She sighed. "Just let me tell my dad that I'm not gonna be home tonight. I can't really go home with..." She lifted her arms, holes in her arms obvious. "...these..."

Gregorio looked around at those dead, breathing heavily as he saw the corpses on the ground. He put his hands to his face and rushed outside to get some fresh air and to see if the police had arrived yet. Suzie rushed after him.

"Gregorio! Calm down! Any minute now we might get an answer to this whole thing! Gregorio, are you listening?!" Suzie exclaimed. Gregorio, in fact, was not listening. In fact, he was downright panicking right about now.

Helena Troy's Estate

The man, more a kid really if his attitude was anything to go by, was apparently not happy that Helena may have saved his life. Frankly, she was almost regretting the decision herself given how ungrateful he'd been. "Yeah well, I don't want you stinking up the Underworld, mate." She muttered, rubbing her gut a little, still a bit tender from his strike. On the bright side it seemed things had calmed down, the spirits of the dead were even figuring out how to get to the Underworld after her last few trips. There was some talk of meeting at one woman's house to discuss their apparent powers. Curious as she was, Helena didn't feel comfortable with them all chatting about their godly ancestors over tea and biscuits.

She saw the amber eyed woman that had approach her earlier had a rather nasty set of bullet wounds in her arms, "Ah, you should go to a hospital." Helena offered helpfully, "Preferably before you bleed out and die." The angry young man from before was also injured, kneeling down and clutching his abdomen, "Anyone got band-aids?" She grimaced, crossing her arms and feeling thoroughly burnt out by situation

Violet went over to the table and grabbed the bottle of booze once Helena was done pouring and set it back down again. Then she walked over to Helena and Charlotte, taking a swig from the bottle.

"So..." she started, pausing for a moment while she tried to figure out how to word what she wanted to say. "What the hell are we going to tell the cops? I don't want to wind up in a psych ward, because I wouldn't even believe the stuff that just went down unless I saw it with my own eyes."

Aran took the weapon from the unconscious soldier, just in case he woke up again. The situation had turned in their favour, and as the rest of the soldiers were subdued he could feel the adrenaline seep out of him. A part of him was already missing it. He ignored that part.

He found Fang eventually- or, rather, she charged into him with a bear hug. Unharmed, thankfully, holding one of the guard's pistols and covered in red juice. "Knocked one of the geezers out with the punch bowl. These guns're made of something weird, but they handle fine." She explained, then paused. "What's with that look? Not all of our college lives were as boring as yours."

"...And here I was worrying about you." Aran sighed, but couldn't hide the relief in his voice. Fang clapped him on the shoulder and then hurried off to help with the wounded. She was one of the older partygoers, so must've felt it her duty to take some responsibility. He might've followed her, but a woman nearby posed an important question- what were they gonna tell the cops?

"We only tell them what they need to know. Guys dressed up as soldiers suddenly started shooting en masse. Miss Troy's bodyguards got a handle on the situation, but mass hysteria and some funky punch led to a lot of people having weird hallucinations." He shrugged. "Whether they were KO'd with a fist to the face or a lightning to the gut, it's all the same if it stops them shooting, right?"

"As for you..." he looked over at the pissant dude. "Chill out. You might think the honeycomb look is cool, but you're just gonna bleed out if you move around with all those holes in ya."

"Punch... yeah, that works for me, I guess," Violet said to Aran, completely ignoring the shouting of the wounded man. She hadn't let toddlers get on her nerves before, she certainly wasn't going to start now. You didn't make it long as a mechanic without knowing how to tune out a screaming customer.

"Jesus, what a mess," she added, taking another look at the room. She felt as if she should have been sick from the sight of so much death and carnage, but it was probably a combination of adrenaline and shock that was keeping her, and everyone else (most, at least), from freaking out at the moment. "Who were these guys?"
