<strong>Location: </strong>On the boat<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>JD<br/><br/>Herakles chuckled, starting to take the boat off towards Honolulu.  “My destination is the tail end of Kiele Street, but I’ll drive you if you want.  Dad sent me.”  He gestured up towards the sky, where the lightning storm was getting more intense, even though the roof kept the rain from drenching them.  “You probably feel it too; he’s letting his wife use the thunderbolt.”<br/><br/>Sympathy showed in his eyes as he looked to her.  “Your father wanted to be here, but, arguments started, she managed to keep him busy at<em>just</em>the worst time.  You can feel it, can’t you?  The rain is all wrong.  Just like you have such an easy time leading that the headmistress of this place doesn’t want you becoming class president.”<br/><br/>Whatever it was, the lightning was getting closer, the sound getting sharper.<br/><br/>He then turned to the southern sky, looking out to the constellation of Centaurus.  “Chiron!” he called out.  “I have someone to introduce you to.”  It took some time for the stars to shoot down and form an image, slow at first, but taking the form of a centaur made of starlight.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Location: </strong>Onogoro-Jima Dock<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Namira<br/><br/>Maman just smiled.  “We’ll have the fly over to explain.  The one thing I will tell you is that I don’t intend to do anything to your father.  He’s been good to you, even if he’s getting a little old for my tastes.”  She felt certain her daughter would understand, even though most didn’t want to hear talk about their parents in such a way.<br/><br/>Then she straightened, taking a breath, and began a sharp and strict command in a long dead language.  Namira felt it more than she had a choice in the matter; her mother commanded her to take her place among the Annuna, and she had no choice but to obey, whether body, mind, or soul.<br/><br/>Ishtar waited to give her daughter some time to recover before she took off a necklace of her own, beginning the same extensive command that Namira recognized.  Rather than a car, it took the shape of a sort of…boat?  Bow?  Something she could straddle to fly through the air, hovering and waiting for her daughter.  Then she repeated the command more slowly with a gesture to her daughter’s necklace.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Onogoro-Jima Dock<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Clio<br/><br/>Old Redbeard just smiled, hugging her back, then pressing a button that ignited the thrusters and sending them sailing off at power speed towards the right direction.  “Aye, your dad mentioned that it was time, and offered me the chance to come and see you again.”<br/><br/>Once they were heading off, he got a little more serious.  “Clio, there’s something a little unusual about me, but I think you’re ready now to handle it.”  So saying, he took off his eyepatch…and his face transformed.  He had always had one eye showing, with the eyepatch always covering the other.  Now, he was still as strong and tall as he always was, but the eye…moved on his head, to the very center.  “I met your dad because he’s always been good to people like me, and he asked me to help teach you in turn.  It’s been an honor and a privilege.”<br/><br/>Then he gestured towards a large door to head further below.  “When you’re ready, it’s time to meet him.  I’ll work on getting you to Kiele Street in the meantime, though I can’t actually help beyond that.  It’s part of the rules.”
