[Granted, there's exactly one person here who might understand Shinji's choice of user name, and that's a pretty big 'might.' But it wasn't taken, and it's not like the Iwatodai crowd know nothing about Greek mythology. There's just another layer to it.]

So. Money's presumably a thing here, since this isn't a void between worlds where you can just think shit into existence and I don't just have Mitsuru levels of it on hand. (Anyone else who knows Mitsuru: Yes, that much money is exactly as weird as you think it is.)

What do people do for jobs? I can cook and I can hit shit.

i wouldn't call the helios i knew an asshole but
right in what sense?

interesting
more flexible than this place then

[fruitknife]

Divine politics, basically. [Probably the shortest explanation of that particular clusterfuck that will ever exist.]

Flexible's a good word for it. There were some rules, but people found ways around those all the damn time and I'm not sure how many of them were built for us in the first place.

[Answer: Basically none, since the Arcana didn't know how to account for mortal variables.]

[colchismagecraft]

the usual for the gods then

[Well aside from 'Zeus decides he wants to sleep with a mortal' anyway.]

people will always find a way to break the rules of course
they should have expected as such

[fruitknife]

Oh, I think the one who made the rules in the first place was countin' on it.

[She was.]

[colchismagecraft]

oh? for what purpose?

[fruitknife]

To see what we'd do. She likes surprises.

[colchismagecraft]

i'm surprised you'd made it out of that test unscathed

when the gods intentionally leave a choice like that up to people they are trying to prove a point amongst themselves

especially if it is an outcome they are interested in

[fruitknife]

Oh, they were definitely doing that. The point was 'are these guys people.'
