“I PURPOSEFULLY chose to live in the woods to AVOID Olympus politics.”

HE’D BEEN reading the morning print since he wasn’t much in the way of GOING out and getting to the grind stone immediately. THE SUN was still out and the day was still young he had plenty of time to do EVERYTHING he needed to do before he was to be expected to HANDLE his daily duties. EYES rise up from behind the paper almost CALCULATING as he speaks again, this time more firm.

“And what exactly is it that warrants this visit I might ask?”

@triumviratxm

HE’S SEATED on his front porch, the moon hanging high above the midnight that washed over the land. He’d always fancied this time of night, it was when he felt MOST alive. He draws in a deep breath, the essence of the evening moon almost electrically charging his bones as he rises to his feet, EYES seeming to scan the area before he exhales heavily, finding a PEACEFUL refrain before he rests hands on the railing before him.

“You know, it’s impolite to approach a GOD’S domain without first announcing yourself.”

HE’S got to maintain his firmness of tone when he speaks, eyes scanning the dark night around him. HE’S SO INVIGORATED. Being a god of the hunt who drew power from the moon was unlike any other sensation in the world.

EYES STALK through the dark trees, THE EVENING washing over him–––filling him with strength as he perches on his porch, underneath the comfortable light before glancing up at the milky moon, A DEEP BREATH drawn in and exhaled before he rises to his feet, DRINK still in hand as he stares intently out into the depths of the forest.

STORIES of madness from such actions were told across the lands, but he was a GOD. No such ailment could chain him down. He was free of such mortal things and after a moment THE KEEN SENSES he bears from this newfound power PEAK, twitching ever so slightly, HONING in on the rustle of leaves and the minute breaking of branches and before he does anything else, he takes a sip of his COCOA and then speaks, voice project and CLEAR for no mistaking of message.

“I would recommend against trying to STALK me. I am the god of the hunt. There is no such thing as SNEAKING up on me. State your business before I have you hung up by your ANKLES for the PREDATORS to feed upon.”

“YOU’RE an anomaly.”

HE’S not especially surprised. Usually people weren’t ones to PARTICULARLY press his buttons. But this wasn’t even BUTTON pressing. Not especially at least. He leans against the tree, CLOUD CHASER perched beside him as his focus fixates on the man for a second before shaking his head idly. 

[oddyssea]

Just as a reminder, MODERN GOD Karter doesn’t especially LIKE any of the other gods in the Greek Pantheon unless otherwise discussed. There are EXCEPTIONS such as Hera ( @vindictiveolympianqueen ) and a few others, but for the most part he is at BEST indifferent to the other gods of the Pantheon and will act as such. He won’t be cruel or vicious toward them but he will be rather PASSIVE in general as he doesn’t consider them friend or family.

“I DON’T think I’m familiar with a creature like you.”

BUT he wasn’t going to pretend like that he wasn’t at least a LITTLE intrigued. The fact that he’s come across a creature that he’s never encountered before alone was INSANE, but that was ignoring the fact that the creature struck him with a strange existence. He furrows his brow trying to discern whether or not he should be concerned about this strange new creature.

“As MUCH as I’d love to answer your questions, I CANNOT. I do not know where Artemis went, I don’t know if she’ll be back and I don’t know WHY she left in the first place. I am as clueless to her motivations as everyone else.”

HE WAS really getting tired of being forced into the scrutiny of the third degree simply because he was thrust into a mantle he never ASKED FOR. He wasn’t going to complain; that’d make him sound a fool. But he preferred not to talk about the origins of his powers, especially considering it brought him nothing but GRIEF in the long run.

@killerqueenpetrova

“I certainly hope you don’t plan on sneaking up on me because if that’s your goal you FAILED. Miserably. I heard you twenty minutes ago.”

He flips through his book, glancing up from what he’s doing for a second before sighing heavily, PAUSING to grab his bookmark before setting the now closed book to the side and he rises to his feet, hands resting on the railing with a BORED expression plastered on his face.

“These woods aren’t hospitable to people you know. PLENTY have tried to survive. They’re all dead now. So I would advise against lingering very long as it will very likely end up in your DEMISE.”

He turns away glancing into his kitchen for half a second to ensure CLOUD CHASER is comfortably still in his spot on the couch before shaking his head.

“Or don’t. I am indifferent one way or another.”

“Hm.”

HIS STARE is piercing ( it was characteristic of a wise hunter; godhood did that to him ). He studies the man intently, hands folded in front of his lips, expectantly as though he’s awaiting some form of WORD that he figures is going to serve to test his PATIENCE.

“You are perhaps clever, but clever hunter is what I am–––and I can assure you I am equally tenacious.”

He won’t be cheated & he won’t be outwitted regardless of the circumstances at hand. IF there was one thing being a mortal had taught him, it’s how to bloodhound sniff a con when he saw one.

“It is MUCH too loud to be the silence in the dead center of the forest.”

HE SUSPECTS there are other gods present cavorting and making merry wherever they DAMN WELL please considering the fact that it was in a god’s nature to do as they wished without regard for the ramifications of their actions ( usually ). HE RUBS his temples, drink in his hand ( hot cocoa was always the best remedy for annoyances ) before he lets out a heavy breath turning slightly BUT ONLY VERY SLIGHTLY to address the person having approached him.

“IF you’re looking for whatever pandemonium is running amok, I would head due east.”

HE RAISES the bow high to the air, as if he’s going to fire directly at the moon from where he stood. HE WAS inspecting something and he figured being armed might deter any unwanted company. IT WAS good practice for him to handle reflex training. Surrounding him are a set of STRAW dummies that he’d created for this very purpose. BY THE COUNT of three he’s fully drawn and the bow’s aimed at the first dummy. HE RELEASES the arrow, not bothering to see if it lands before he looses another this time taking aim up again as he sighs.

“I suggest not standing in the forest...that’ll be where the next arrow goes.”

“I’m not much for VISITORS. Primarily because it means I have to remind them to be careful of the ecosystem. The predators here are especially tenacious I’m afraid. But I’m sure you know that already given the knowledge you possess.”

He IS GENUINE with his kinder words, but one could argue he’s never been very good with other people anyways.

“To what do I owe the pleasure?”

[oddyssea]

“Patience is a virtue.” ( jason @ modern god)

“You MISTAKE virtue for a slow descent into insanity.”

HE PAUSES, the tips of his fingers running along the tree trunk as he focuses intently. Part of him is inclined to believe that PERHAPS it’s his own fault for not ACTING sooner, but he’s a man with TIMID RESERVATION. He isn’t trying to start problems where there didn’t need to be problems, IT JUST SO HAPPENED that more often than not they found him.

“–––I assume you have more words of wisdom given the fact that often times things of that nature come in THREES.”

HE’S referring of course, the the nature of the universe SENDING things of any abstract existence in THREES. He couldn’t explain it himself, but he figured it was worth pointing out.

HE FURROWS his brow. A perplexing sight indeed. OF ALL the things he’d seen in the forest, he was beginning to suspect that these astronomical events were more and more DRAWN to him and not the forest itself. Perhaps he should CONSIDER resetting his life in some way but as expected he steps out from his cabin, feet touching the grass with a soft breath escaping his lips, HANDS in his pockets, the cool grass cooling his feet of before he glancing at the creature across the way with a tilt of his head.

“You’re quite the ways away from home aren’t you?”

He crouches down, hand extended out to the TIGER as he speaks softly, almost tenderly.

“What brings you this way out of the way?”

HE CROUCHES beside the wounded animal, A SMALL frown on his face, HIS WOLF companion coming up behind him, SNOUT pressed a bit to the creature before prodding at Karter’s ear.

“I know Cloud Chaser. I know.”

THE CREATURE wouldn’t be surviving the night. At least not without proper medical attention, the likes of which it could not receive this far out in the woods. It’s disheartening but he stays, KNOWING the animal might find solace in the safety of his protection in its final hours.
