[Since breakfast, Minato has had some ideas. And some problems have formed in his original ideas. And generally, he's just been thinking. And avoiding the goddamn lava wall. But mostly thinking. He's come to at least a few conclusions.]

I was wondering if anyone in Cabin 6 could help me with something. I want to know some of the old stories of the gods. If we're going to meet them, we should know more than just their names. [And they should know if the gods have ever been defeated and if anyone has ever survived the gods deciding it was time for them to be killed just because they were kids of the powerful ones.]

[Another moment.]

Does anyone else know how to control the darkness? [That makes it seem like he's evil oh my god. He should've found a better way to say it.] It could be useful, after all.

[He's just trying to figure out what cards he might have in his hands if it does end up that the gods decide to murder them.]

[A message just to SEES members (yes, Ryoji counts) and Hades kids]

We should get to know Manhattan. If things go wrong.

[No offense to Zeus and Poseidon kids, but these are the people he feels he has a moral obligation to keep not dead.

Minato has never been one for depending on deities to get things done. And he's not entirely comfortable with the idea that he has a dad who hasn't even bothered to do more than cause a blackout to greet him. But he is praying with all of his everything to his father right now that things don't go wrong. Yes, he knows the irony of praying to the God of the Underworld that he and his friends don't die.]

Shadow travel? [Wait, what? He's never even heard of that before.] How?

[airdives]

....Yeah.

[ Shrugs, halfheartedly. ] I can step into shadows and appear on the other side. It's tiring.

[Hades Kids]

[pheromonecoffee]

You could use it to escape. [If things got really, really bad.]

[Hades Kids]

[airdives]

I could, if I bothered to escape in the first place.

[Hades Kids]

[pheromonecoffee]

If we can escape being killed, if it comes to that, we should.

[Listen to the kid. He died for your sins.]

[Hades Kids]

[airdives]

Only if all of you come too. I'm not leaving people to be mercilessly pummeled just for my sake.

[Hades Kids]

[pheromonecoffee]

We'll all try to survive. But if even one can survive, it's better than no one.

[Hades Kids]

[airdives]

--I won't leave unless I'm certain all of you can come. Do you think I'm that cowardly?

[ Really, she just wants to protect them all. ]

[Hades Kids]

[pheromonecoffee]

We'll figure a way to save everyone, if we have to.

[Seriously. He will. No matter what it takes.]

[Hades Kids]

[airdives]

We will. There's no buts.

[ by 'everyone' she technically means 'the three of us' but small details. ]

[pheromonecoffee]

Ange.

[He looks, for a moment, intense. Like he has something Really Important to say.]

Don't worry.

[Hades Kids]

[airdives]

.....I'm not.

[Hades Kids]

[pheromonecoffee]

I know. Don't start.

[Hades Kids]

[airdives]

I won't. You shouldn't plan on it any time soon.
