Andy pulled herself together. Stepping away from the goddess she had been ugly crying on. She dried her face off with her sleeve. [color=b71d5d]"Uh, thanks. And sorry. I didn't...mean to cry like that."[/color] She said, while shifting, not quite looking Persephone in the face. [color=b71d5d]"I want to send an Iris message too. I need to talk to Arthur."[/color] She didn't know what she would say, but she wanted to see him. Wanted his reassurance that he'd help. 

She stepped away and found a bit of rainbow. But the Iris message wasn't working. It should have. There was a rainbow. She frowned. [color=b71d5d]"Chocolate,"[/color] She leaned down and pet the dog. She wanted to ask him why he wasn't with Arthur. But the dog couldn't talk. 

Andy sighed and rejoined the others. [color=b71d5d]"Maybe Arbor can play with Chocolate."[/color] Andy suggested to the girl her age. She realized she did not remember her name, but that would be super embarrassing to say. Maybe she'd introduce herself to Damon and she'd be saved that embarrassment. To the others, she said, [color=b71d5d]"I can't get an Iris to connect with Arthur."[/color] She frowned.

Niah wasn't a hundred percent sure where Nancy was, but she guessed likely already in the Lotus Hotel. She cursed at herself. Of course, she was. Here Niah had to tell her the worst news in the worst place. 

[color=0080ff]"Mads fell. She's in Tarturs."[/color] Niah didn't know all the details, just that the stupid prophecy had come true. That one of her best friends was gone. Andy had said it, and Mary had given her the damn crystal, which was now carefully tucked into her backpack.

She wished she could reach through the Iris message and hug Nancy. The three of them getting split up was the worst thing. Together they could have handled anything. Anger at the gods flashed through her but was quickly squelched. They had a lot less say in fate than they acted like they did. They were stuck in their stories, dragging the rest of them along.
