Good afternoon, Asgard.

Let us begin with a swift inspection of common knowledge.

What force are the Gods themselves subjected to?

Hint:

ἀνάγκᾳ δ’ οὐδὲ θεοὶ μάχονται



p.s: Mind your breathing when you go outside. It might prove to be unpleasant.

"Not even the gods fight necessity" — Simonides

[ anon text; private ]

[considered]

And what is necessity? Aside from the beginning of our story?

Necessità 'l ci 'nduce, e non diletto.

Goodie, a pop quiz! I feel like I'm in school again.

Only my teacher is a pretentious idiot who clearly googled a phrase once and it suddenly became apt. Bravo, always good to have a quote at hand for every occasion. I can't wait to see what's next.

And their student is a babbling fool who wishes to claim superiority rather than think.

A pity.

Simonides of Ceos. One of the very first humanists and lover of lyrical poetry. The piece you've quoted only survives in modern day interpretations of Plato's Protagoras. I've only read it once, but it's one of my favorites.

"So long as he doesn't willfully do wrong, I give my praise and love to any man. But not even the gods can resist necessity."

Stand corrected.

You have read it at least twice.

Simonides, eh?

It's a pity you've chosen anonymity; I should be happy to have an advanced learner or two in my Greek class.

Or else they would not be truly appreciated would they?

I would assume apples and mistletoe, or are we mixing pantheons for the sake of ominousness?

[considered]

I would claim it is comforting rather than ominous, if read carefully.

Dreadfully dull sermons and doubtless something more poetic about the nature of forgetting. The first being of more immediate relevance.

unlucky guesswork. no to both counts. are we to care of the gods and forgetfulness?

[ No way man, no way. He's never been in on cipher cracking. He's always been the brawn, not the brain. Doesn't mean he can't hate on the person on the other side, though. ]

No doubt you'll be spouting off deductions next. Rot followed by rot. Seems to be the order for you lot who think you're clever.

[ everybody's a dire fool if you ask her, which makes her laugh, something that rings in the hollowness of her room. ]

I can ask you the very same question. boldness does not cover foolishness well.

Apologies: I cannot read your tongue. Perhaps you might be persuaded to lend it to speaking.

permanon;

[considered]

you would find that I am not one who is oft persuaded.

that would be not so educational of me. you have found a tongue you cannot read. find a way to solve this regardless.

[ she laughs when she reads his comment. laughs because dear sherlock does know some parts of her too well. she wonders if the greek give her away. when she answers him, he can see her name and she makes certain he can see her. in her room in loki, surrounded by papers. all are sketches of different parts of the city in coal.

she smiles. ]

Always in a hurry to name things, darling. Does it matter, truly?

[ a pause ]

You did not sleep. I could hear your mind reeling from across the city.

That's something you can't fight, that shouldn't count.

It's easier when poison works. Or great heights.

I waged they would not want that to count either.
