[indent][indent][indent][color=#f9cb9c]Last night at the self-described Epicenter of Awesomeness (AKA Acropolis) the carnage left behind of yet another party by the self-described “Bro Squad™”. Their parties, at least among those who were either in college, about to go to college, or just loved a good time, knew of the wild shindigs that often got out of control - especially when it came to the sheer madness Dionysus brought to every single one and the trio of Heracles, Apollo, and Hermes, who all just liked to do dumb shit that they probably should ease up. But yolo, right!?[/color]

[color=#f9cb9c]Either way, all of the fun climaxed just a few hours before sunrise when the fun zone transitioned into “I’m just going to sleep here”. While some made it to a bed or found a spot on a couch and others just kind of found a nice, comfortable spot on the cushioned floor, there were...others who didn’t make it that far. Yes, some were splayed out outside, bodies hanging from the balcony, and then you had Hermes and Heracles…[/color]

[b][i][color=#f9cb9c]SLAM![/color][/i][/b]

[color=#f9cb9c]Every bone from the waist down all cracked and popped when his feet lost their position on the window seal and his stiff back sounding off, but more importantly, Heracles, the Hero of Athens, grunted in a very non-heroic way that was reminiscent of a screaming girl who just lost her balloon to Zeus’s wind.[/color]

[color=#dc143c]“Jesus, Coco,”[/color][color=#f9cb9c] Heracles angrily said, slowly getting up, only now coming to the realization that one of his most prized possessions had a multi-hour stay in some not-so-clean toilet water. The unhealthy shade of dark green inside the bowl gave him some not so kid-friendly thoughts as to what might have happened in the few hours Herc was down and out. [/color][color=#dc143c]“Yeah, probably not a good idea to think about it.[/color][color=#f9cb9c].”[/color]

[color=#f9cb9c]As he rolled off the toilet, even the sound of his [i]lion[/i] getting out of the bowl made him want to puke, but then he saw Coco and all was well in the world, not even a shriveled up cat could bring him down -- or at least her backside as her heels clacked away out of the washroom.[/color]

[color=#f9cb9c]Heracles lay on the cold tile floor for a few moments, thinking about a time when his body didn’t ache so goddamn much. And he couldn’t help but go to before the Colossus was a factor, when it hadn’t threatened their very existence by stripping every pantheon of their power. Heracles couldn’t stop himself but wonder if there was ever going to be a day that he could return to Mount Olympus.[/color]

[color=#f9cb9c]And then he remembered how miserable it was taking orders from Zeus and his inner-circle. Suddenly, having aching bones didn’t seem so bad, not if he had the freedom to do whatever the fuck it was he wanted to.[/color]

[color=#dc143c]“Hey, Hermes!”[/color][color=#f9cb9c] He called out, still splayed on the cold floor, [/color][color=#dc143c]“you still alive over there?”[/color][color=#f9cb9c] His neck arched a few inches to see what looked like his friend’s small feet hanging off the edge of the tub. [/color][color=#dc143c]“C’mon, don’t play with me! Don’t make me give you my best party boy impression.” [/color][color=#f9cb9c]On second thought, maybe Hermes would like that.
