So I got this invite to lunch in the fancy conference room...ya know the one they only use for VIPs and such? So I got ready, had a nice little dress on and went. As I walked in though I knew it wasn't gonna be a pleasant lunch cause it was all decked out in architecture and art from the various pantheons...which meant it was for or parents.
Sighing I sat down and changed my dress to jeans and a tank top and waited. Dr. Lord was there and confirmed my suspicions and sure enough in walks our parents. Lugh congratulated Liam and did something to/for him that I can only assume was a reward for helping me. Thor and Dave talked about beer (shocker there right?), Alex managed to insult his father but I think that had more to do with Hephaestus being touchy then Alex actually insulting him. Dad decided to congratulate me in my head for keeping at my cutting...why he thinks I do it for his benefit I have no idea but whatever. I still didn't feel like eating so I just toyed with my soup silently and waited for the others...yes I know I acted like a sullen child...back off.
So it turns out this was like a progress report on how things were going. Thor and Heph thought things were going well, but Nergal thought we should be doing more. Sun Wukong and Coyote scoffed at him. Vahram stands up and says we should show them our prowess...like a big battle or something to which Lugh comments it shouldn't be all fighting...and honestly I did not feel like spending my Sunday with these people any longer than I had to. I channeled Chaos and found the best way to end this quickly was to goad Barry...which isn't hard. I looked across the table and asked what he though of all this since the rest of our parents are demon spawn...I may have called him a Jesus freak too.
Sure enough he retorted with us being hellspawn and his father being the one true god...you could hear a pin drop. I was laughing my ass off inside. Nergal looked ready to kill him right there. Coyote was amused and Vahram was in shock. Then Barry pulled his shotgun...aiming at everyone and I goaded him some more so he settled on me. I got a vision that his left shoulder was weak so when he leveled his gun at me I slammed my palm into it...and he was writhing in pain on the floor.
Dr. Lord explained about the spot to Vahram, Dave acted like his usual over protective self, and I sat back down trying not to smile. Vahram yelled at his son then told us punishment was our decision. Dave wanted to pummel him but I think that wound is enough...and now we all know about it. But Vahram agreed with Dave. he can go at it with him whenever and will not avenge Barry if he dies. Stupid men.
As soon as it was over I went straight to my car and headed into town..I need drink, drugs, and dance.
