[HERMES]
Eurydice was a hungry young girl
A runaway from everywhere she'd ever been
She was no stranger to the world
No stranger to the wind

"I mean... he's not wrong." Eurydice stated sadly. While she came off as tough, and there was no doubt that she was, she still wished things were easier, because who wants things to be hard.

[EURYDICE]
Weather ain't the way it was before
Ain't no spring or fall at all anymore
It's either blazing hot or freezing cold
Any way the wind blows

[FATES]
And there ain't a thing that you can do
When the weather takes a turn on you
'Cept for hurry up and hit the road
Any way the wind blows

Persephone pointedly stared at Hades while he turned away from her. She needed to get the seasons back in check, but she couldn't do that while her husband made her stay 6 feet under for longer than six months.

[EURYDICE](Wind comes up ooh)
Do you hear that sound
(Wind comes up move)
Move to another town
Ain't no body gonna stick around
When the dark clouds roll
Any way the wind blows

"Ain't that the truth" Eurydice stated.

Everyone looked at her, concerned, but she just waved it off.

[HERMES (EURYDICE)]
You met the Fates
Remember them (Anybody got a match?)
Always singing in the back of your mind (Gimme that)
Wherever it was this young girl went
The fates were close behind

"Thanks to Percy Jackson and some google searches, that line would mean that Eurydice has been close to death multiple times!" Elizabeth stated with a fake cheerful tone.

Everyone know looked at her with varying degrees of confusion or concern, but she busied herself with something that looked like a silver rectangle.

The Fates didn't look surprised at all.

"What's that?" asked Orpheus.

"Oh this, this is a laptop, I don't really know how to explain it but you can use it as a form of entertainment, or as I am doing right now school work."

[EURYDICE]
People turn on you just like the wind
Everybody is a fair-weather friend
In the end you're better of alone
Any way the wind blows

'That's also true." Eurydice stated.

[FATES]
When your body aches to lay it down
When you're hungry and there ain't enough to go 'round
Ain't no length to which a girl won't go
Any way the wind blows

Eurydice was silent remembering things that she had stolen.

[EURYDICE]
(Wind comes up ooh)
And sometimes you think
(Wind comes up you)
You would do anything
Just to fill your belly full of food
Find a bed that you could fall into
Where the weather wouldn't follow you
Wherever you go
Any way the wind blows

"Well I really would do almost anything." Eurydice said

[HERMES]
Now Orpheus was the son of a muse
And you know how those muses are
Sometimes they abandon you
And this poor boy
He wore his heart on his sleeve
You might say he was naive to the ways of the world
But he had a way with words
And the rhythm and the rhyme
And he sang just like a bird up on a line
And it ain't because I'm kind
But his mama was a friend of mine
And I liked to hear him sing
And his way of seeing things
So I took him underneath my wing
And that is where he stayed
Until one day...

"Thank you." said Orpheus directing it at Hermes.

The latter responded with a quick you're welcome as the next song started to play.
