Doesntreallyexistia - somewhere miles away from the palace...
::As Registered Member #552 flees from the palace, he trips over a cloaked figure::
RM552: Umph! Hey, watch where you're going, pal!
stranger: You're the one who tripped over me, friend.
RM552: Oh, well...um, what's your name, then?
stranger: My name is... Zues.
RM552: ZEUS?! As in the Olympian?
Zues: No, I'm Zues..."Zoo-es", not Zeus "Zoose".
RM552: There's a difference?
Zues: Yes, I was created by a typographical error made by one of the Authors of the Universe.
RM552: "Authors of the Universe", who are they?
Zues: You may be under the delusion that you have free-will, but you don't! Neither do I. We are all at the whim of a group of beings that control our very existence! If one of them has a bad day, watch out! We exist merely for their pleasure and entertain....
RM552: Whoa there, chief! You're getting way too metaphysical for my tastes and....ummm.....[Registered Member #552 thinks for a moment...] What were we talking about? I have a perfect memory but for some reason the last few moments seem to be fuzzy to me....
Zues: I'm not sure either....
RM552: Well anyway, could you help me get back to my teammates?
Zues: Well, if it's called for in the plot, I guess I can try.
RM552: Huh?
Zues: ....What? I said I'd try, what more do you want?
::Zues throws a lightning bolt into the air and it swerves back toward the both of them. It stikes them and.... ::
RM522: Where are we? This doesn't look like Mt. Olympus or the Barn of Justice.
Zues: Well, there's a travel brochure over there...
