And gaze upon the rivers and valleys of the mortal realm
Who: Zagreus, Prince of Tartarus
What: Culture shock
When: Early October
Where: First prompt in Greece, other prompts at Daybreak
Warnings: We shall see
-1: One phonecall?-
The other day, there was a report of an incident that came to Daybreak about a man who apparently didn't know what telephones are but could lift cars with his bare hands and had been threatening the police with "weapons made out of shadows". He was, at the moment, cooling his heels in a prison in Athens, pumped full of enough tranquilizer darts to knock out an elephant and still awake, if groggy.
It's the kind of thing the school often sends a team to look into.
-2: Too bright-
Not long ago, a team was sent out to Greece to check something weird out. Just now, they came back as their helicopter touched down. An imposingly tall young man stepped out dressed in a goddamn toga and sandals, looking supremely off balance. Especially when the sun hit him in the face and he winced, shading his eyes. Which was odd because it was kind of cloudy and not terribly bright out.
But then, he WAS awfully pale. Maybe he's a vampire?
-3: Godly appetite-
Inside now, at the cafeteria. Zagreus has procured a pair of sunglasses, which makes the mortal world less painfully bright, and is in high spirits as he puts away a frankly staggering amount of food. He waved when he saw someone staring.
He had a cup of cola, which he used to gesture you over. "Care to join me? There's no wine, but this fizzy stuff isn't terrible, and there's enough to eat to make up for it! I'm not even sure what half this stuff is!"
He peered at a california roll, then shrugged and popped it in his mouth with his fingers. After swallowing enough to be polite he added on "And not a single bloody pomegranate in sight!" with a laugh, though it wasn't clear what was funny about that.

no subject
[He notes the warmness, though.]
Tartarus? Am I remiss in assuming that you might know of Hades, then?
