Ask or Dare Lady Athena

Dare - #71

Hermes: Hi, has anyone seen Lord Zeus? I have some messages to deliver.

Olympians: *watching a one-way Iris message*

Athena: *beams and grabs his hand* Hermes, just in time! Come here. We need ideas!

Hermes: Ideas on wh - What is Zeus doing? *walks closer and sees Zeus through the rainbow*

Athena: foureyedbookkeeper dared me to get him to do twelve tasks for us Olympians.

Hermes: And he agreed.

Athena: *smiles innocently* Of course he did.

Hermes: You scared him, didn't you, Ena? *chuckles*

Athena: Of course I did, dumbass.

Hermes: *rolls his eyes affectionately*

Artemis: Apollo gave the first suggestion.

Apollo: I got him to turn into a human for a week.

Ares: Five minutes in and he's already running from a Laistrygonian.

Athena: And of course, we placed bets on what he was going to do. Aunt Hestia and I won.

Hermes: What did you bet on?

Athena: That he was gonna be running within five minutes instead of facing it.

Hermes: *looks at Hestia*

Hestia: *shrugs* I was being sensible.

Hermes: Oh! I have a suggestion.

Apollo: Oh, this is gonna be awesome. I can feel it.

Hermes: Get him to steal Perse's wedding ring while wearing a mask.

*later*

Zeus: *shrieking at the top of his lungs as he runs and clutches the ring*

Cerberus: *chases him and growls*

Olympians: *laughing*

Zeus: *quickly rushes out of the Underworld* I GOT THE RING! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?! CAN I COME BACK ALREADY?!

Athena: *talks through the Iris message* Nope, you still have ten tasks!

Hera: And speaking of tasks, your next one is to bring the ring back.

Zeus: WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?!

Hera: *slowly grins* Without the mask this time. And if you ever get caught, don't even think about explaining your situation.

Demeter: Don't you think that's a bit harsh, sister?

Hera: *taps her chin and hums* You might be right.

Demeter and Hera: *stare at each other*

Everyone: *bursts into laughter*
