ALRIGHT. LET’S INVESTIGATE THE UDAD PHOTOS. MUCH INFORMATION BELOW. SO MUCH

ok top left. brian is the oracle of delphi, of course in greek mythology the most prominent oracle

bottom left. for some reason the goddess artemis’ name seems to have been misspelled as artimes? I have no idea why. artemis is the olympian that features in actea and lyssa.

bottom right. seems to suggest marius’ lecture will take place in the aristotle institute - aristotle is a famous greek philosopher (among other things, grouped loosely as a polymath)

top right. as you likely know, these are military dog tags, usually intended to allow for the identification of corpses. an enomotarch is the commander of an enotomy, a division of 25-36 soldiers, bound together by oath. this seems to be a term originating in Sparta.

middle right. tipple seems to be a term for alcohol, consistent with the bottle top the term appears on. the toy soldier seems to have made its own liquor brand while in the city. (perhaps DB stands for dionysus bacchus, the greek and roman names respectively for the god of alcohol?)

right. a coin is shown, on one side reading ‘to speed the/journey down’. this likely is about the belief that the ferryman (charon) who takes the dead souls across the river acheron and into the underworld must be paid. virgil’s aeneid claims that if the deceased cannot afford to pay the ferryman, they must wander the shores of the styx (another underworld river, in some stories providing the same function as the acheron) for one hundred years before they are allowed to cross into the underworld. thus having this coin to give the ferryman would literally speed the journey down into the underworld in greek mythology. also depicted on this side is the logo of the acheron. on the other side of the coin is featured a headshot of ashes, with the text ‘a penny’ above (the smallest british unit of currency). I cannot discern the text below.

background. the blueprint for the aegis, which in homer’s iliad is a device carried by athena pr zeus, interpreted as either an animal skin or a shield, sometimes featuring the head of a gorgon, that symbolises protection.

the text on the left appears to read as follows:

‘…[ti]tanium…n for the…ens district…[lig]htning rod

‘spikes - they look badass

‘Durable Ti core

‘Moderator’

Ti is the chemical symbol for titanium. also depicted is a uranium fission reaction. a moderator is something else that is needed in a fission reactor core, so this must be a design for a fission reactor. ‘enriched to 90%’ refers to the uranium - uranium-235 is the most fissile isotope, so the more U-235 you have, the more fission you can achieve. for context, reactors often use uranium enriched to 3.5-4.5% - 90% is overkill by a long way for energy generation purposes. my guess is that this reactor core is designed to provide huge amounts of energy to operate sone kind of lightning device, likely intended for zeus (the god of lightning). it is signed by athena and raphaella la cognizi.

BRING FORTH THE NEXT IMAGE!

another acheron coin is shown. I'm not really sure what’s happening in most of this one.

ANOTHER!

more acheron coins and a half-visible toy soldier’s tipple bottle cap. the focus of this picture is a torn and blood-splattered coaster for Calypso’s, the bar from which the suits kidnapped ulysses.

NEXT!

now this is more like it

a zeus coin is depicted, showing five credits - presumably the official currency of the city

there is a gambling chip bearing the name hermes, perhaps referencing his role as a trickster god

the guitar pick is stamped with the name apollo, the greek god of music and song.

there is a fragment of a newspaper cover - we will get more shots of this later.

the emblem of poseidon is shown to be a trident, a weapon poseidon is often depicted as wielding, representing his status as god of the sea.

wow I wonder what name is on that card it’s mostly blocked I wonder if the next will have the name..

BEHOLD!

so that’s presumably an ID card for a security guard, whose name we can now see is Anippe ?aiad. Anippe in greek mythology is the egyptian daughter of the river god nilus, and is thus a naiad, so the name on the card is Anippe Naiad. I can find little information about her, other than that heracles killed her son.

we also get a look at ulysses here, the the text ‘//ALL POINTS FUGITIVE ALERT//‘ above their mugshot.

NEXT!

the text on the ulysses info that seems to be on some kind of old tablet reads

…1) COUNT THEFT:

…[CYCLO]PS - POSEIDON PROPERTY

…OR CAPTURE: DR-25000

…E BOUNTY

…S:

SPONSORED BY POSEIDON INDUSTRIES

CLICK TO LEARN MORE

this seems to be putting a bounty of ‘DR-25000’ (presumably a currency?) on ulysses’ head for the theft of the eye of the cyclops.

more newspaper.. shall we take a closer look?

across four different images, here is the newspaper:

FORTY DEAD IN SUB-LEVEL 54D EXPLOSIONS: WHO IS “GUNPOWDER TIM?”

TWENTY YEARS FROM ILIUM: WILL THE SCARS EVER HEAL?

Oedipus Rex, the doctor hailed as a hero after successfully curing the disease ravaging the sublevel slums, has been revealed to have been married to his own mother for the last eight years, in what is being hailed as the social scandal of the decade.

Mr. Rex previously claimed to have grown up in one of the City's most troubled orphanages. However, a source within the Acheron has claimed that Teiresias, one of the network's most trusted interfaces, revealed his true origins yesterday.

“I didn’t know,” Oedipus told The Oracle, “I’d always believed my parents to be dead. I had no way of knowing they were even alive, let alone…”

Oedipus’ wife and mother, Jocasta Rex, has been unavailable for comment. She was last seen boarding a transport line to Outer Thebes, an area known for the number of suicides it attracts.

It is known she had been married once before to Laius, Mayor of one of the Thebian districts at the centre of the Sphinx epidemic. It was repoterd that he disappeared shortly before the announcement of the cure, under circumstances described by City PD as ‘suspicious’.

CONTINUED PG.5

HERACLES ACQUITTED ON MISTRIAL TECHNICALITY

The City High Court finally came to a ruling today in the case of Heracles, the notorious figure at the centre of the murder trial which has gripped the City for the last four weeks.

Heracles, who worked for the House of Zeus as head security for fifty years before resigning under unknown circumstances last Theozenios, was found not guilty of the brutal slaying and dismemberment of his wife and two children.

According to sources familiar with the case, he was found lying unconscious in his home, surrounded by the bodies of his family, holding in his hand what was at first thought to be the murder weapon. However, forensic evidence regarding the blade was judged to have been inadmissible, and his insistence he was defending his family from an attacker swayed the jury.

Heracles has been unable to identify the assailant against which he was struggling. This is not the first time Heracles has been involved in accusations of violence. Rumours persist that he may have been the infamous “Thunderbolt of Zeus” while working with the company, despite no connection ever being proven between the Olympian patriarch and the unknown hitman.

CONTINUED PG.9

TRANSCRIPT ENDS

Delphi and the oracle are referenced several times.

A drachma is a greek unit of currency, hence why I have guessed that as the unit of price for the newspaper.

Teiresias, the one referenced as revealing Oedipus’ parentage, is a blind prophet of Apollo from Thebes, known for clairvoyance and being transformed into a woman for several years. he is referenced as being one of the first brains volunteered into the acheron in the fiction, and holds and manages all the knowledge of the acheron.

Theoxenia seems to be a descriptor for greek mythology stories in which characters show benevolence and hospitality to strangers who turn out to be disguised deities capable of reward. These stories encourage people to treat anyone they meet as potential disguised divinity.

ONWARD!

another oracle of delphi ad, the corner of the newspaper, and part of hades’ file on oedipus..

TRANSCRIPT BEGINS (pencil markings in orange)

Name: Oedipus Rex not given surname

Occupation: Doctor (Retired) Disgraced

Age: 52 No records- abandoned at birth. Estimate Height: 5’10” Weight: 132l[b]

Hair: Chestnut Eyes: N/A self-blind[ed]

District: Thebes

Abandoned by wealthy but paranoid parents at birth. Olympians secret[ly] pulled strings, used him as poster [child] for failing orphanage scheme. Notab[le] for successfully researching the cause/[…] for the Sphinx - exceptional intel[ligence] shown. Worthy candidate for "Trial [by] Wits". Currently seeking to leave T[he] City after publicised patricide and maternal relations; will likely pla[…] ball given ample funding. EXPLOIT

END TRANSCRIPT

the tab at the side reads WITS. as well as oedipus’ fingerprints, there is a dirty handprint in the top right of the document. the newspaper appears to be stained with rings of tea or coffee.

at first I thought the photo of oedipus featured in hades’ document was this one, but it doesn’t quite match. it’s a good photo anyway.

gunpowder tim’s dog tags from earlier are visible at the base of the photo again. A different part of Oedipus’ file is shown, showing a handprint and the start of a date on the photo of Oedipus, beginning 08/12. a map is shown too, with crosses through two locations and a circle around another. from what I can see the streets seem to mostly have fairly generic names.

sadly I have now reached image limit. when I have made the next post, I will link it here.

update I realised some of the stuff guessing cut off words and such that I did is pointless because the full documents for a bunch of them are in the goddamn cd book thing. and I kind of can’t be bothered to finish cause it feels like half the stuff I did was pointless. if you would be interested say so and maybe I will do more. but otherwise. nah

But here's where the plot thickens: your love has danced with their shadows. Battling inner demons, they've emerged not only unscathed but profoundly transformed. These trials have only refined them, sculpting a lover who's grown by confronting their fears, forever evolving in the dance of life's rhythms.

With a heart that's weathered storms, they've mastered the art of turning pain into power. Past sorrows don't weigh them down; instead, they’re fueled by hope, gazing ever forward. And oh, the brilliance they exude! Like the radiant sun breaking through a morning mist, their optimism is infectious, illuminating even the darkest corners with their zest for life.

Now, a whisper from the cosmos, embodied in the essence of Clear Quartz, reveals their crystalline clarity. They see through life's murky waters with an unclouded vision, and their unwavering honesty promises to be the bedrock of your shared journey.

Diving deeper, past scars reveal tales of deception they might have endured, crafting barriers of caution around their heart. Encounters with treachery have sharpened their discernment, fortifying them with a wisdom that promises to shield your bond with care.

Ball-dancing with Morax

dragon emperor morax, a ball, and you.

The royal ball is a time when nobility and commoners come together at the palace in honour of the kind emperor’s birth month. Emperor Morax is a just and fair ruler, beloved by all. Well, all except you.

You are a prophesied Hero sent by a holy oracle to kill Morax for his genocide of the people of Khaenri’ah some centuries ago. The incident had been erased from the memories of all other land-dwellers, giving him the appearance of having a clean slate. It’s your destiny to bring about justice for his actions.

Your plan is to dance with Morax, who often enjoys dancing with his subjects, slip a magical poison into his drink, and let it destroy him. The poison takes three days to act and blends seamlessly into the bloodstream once it has done its duty, so nobody will ever be able to trace it back to this day.

The day of the ball, you are dressed in your finest gown, your face and hair done to perfection as well. There is no need for a concealed weapon in case things go awry, as Morax operates under a strict moral code of never harming the people under his reign. Oh, how that will come back to bite him soon enough.

He looks ravishing tonight, his golden horns decorated with small rivulets of silk and glass beads. His tail is out on full display, the fine gold fur shining with every movement. His toned body is draped in a rich brown silk long pao, his own dragon emblem adorning the fine cloth. His deep amber eyes, accentuated by the red on his lower eyelids, are mellowed into a beaming smile as the festivities begin.

He is the kind of man you would fall in love with; he is the kind of man you would plunge a dagger into.

Emperor Morax dances with some of the men and women brave enough to share the spotlight with him, until finally his intense gaze settles on you invitingly. You step up to the offer with ease, taking his hands - calloused and big - and following his lead.

It’s magical, the way he guides you along the ballroom with all the grace of a Qilin. It feels like gliding, and for a second you wonder what it would be like to soar through the skies with Morax in his pure dragon form.

His touches are gentle, his words equally soft as he regales you with amusing anecdotes from days of yore, soft laughter ringing like temple bells every time you nearly fumble a step.

Soon enough, he suggests going to the balcony from some fresh night air and a drink, and you readily oblige. His hand rests on the small of your back, like that of a lover, and you cannot help but melt ever so slightly at the gesture. Your heart refreezes itself once more as you remind yourself what this dragon had done once upon a forgotten time.

Still, as he pulls you to himself while he tells you how beautiful you look tonight, you decide to indulge.

His kisses are just as tender and gentle as his hands, and they linger on your skin like eventide dewdrops. When your lips connect, it feels like the earth itself has given way and you are free-falling, with Morax being the one to break the fall. Minutes pass before he deems it fit to pull away.

The way he slides his hands along the curve of your waist and settles there; it is almost as though you are someone completely familiar to him. His smile is like stars bursting forth through shadow. You cannot get enough, it’s intoxicating.

His beautiful brown and gold tail flexes and coils around you tenderly, the scales shimmering like quartz. So enamored by his tail are you, that you hardly register the sinister golden gleam that flashes across his irises for a split second.

He leans in close to your ear and whispers, “My dear, you are the seventh incarnation of the Hero I have had to deal with.”

(just a concept, might turn this into a full-fledged fic if people are interested.)

Asterism Borealis: Chapter 1

How did I get into this situation?

Or, Sakari and Sonnet's misadventures to the Northern lands begins.

Warnings: Body Horror (Upcoming), TBA

Characters: Sakari (OC), Sonnet (Worldless OC), Styx (OC), Otis (OC)

"Are you sure that you know where you're going?" Sonnet asked, a bit confused.

Sakari has just arrived at the Town's main market, full of people trying to get everyone's attention in order to sell their goods. It was crowded, and pretty busy too, the sound of people shouting out their goods and the blending together of the crowd was somewhat disorienting for her, but she needed to find answers.

Answers on how to get Sonnet out of their prison.

In fact, Sonnet was there with her, stuck inside their own weapon. An absolutely massive scythe, pure white and glittering in the hot sunlight, with a cyan diamond-shape piece near the blade's base, and below the staff as well. It was a magnificent and somewhat terrifying weapon, although Sakari knew better about it's origins... and the fact that she managed to meet them in a yard sale, out of all the ways to find a weapon that had an eldritch being stuck inside of it.

"Not too sure, won't hurt to stick around here for a bit," she replied, mentally of course. "But then, it's hard to start, knowing that there's so many potential places to look for clues," Sonnet continued, "I'm not too sure where to even start with this, it's overwhelming." "I know, we just have to take it in baby steps," Sakari assured them, still focusing on the crowd ahead of her.

With a sigh, she looked around. There seemed to be several parties buying things, preparing to go on the next adventure. For some reason, her home country somehow turned into a rest stop for adventurers, not that she minded. Thankful, weapons are allowed here, although they must be covered with protective gear to avoid injuries, or must not be any type of firearm whatsoever. So she gets to carry Sonnet around as they browsed the myriad of items in each stall.

There were clothes, weapons, books, practically everything under the sun that is needed for trips. "Even if it's the modern day, people still love a good adventure", Sakari thought to herself. As she was walking, her eyes caught something interesting: A booth that seemed to be... an oracle stall? The person had dark purple hair, fading into a much brighter shade, and was wearing a royal purple top with black Bell bottoms, with a golden brown fanny pack filled with various goods. "Wait..." Sakari thought, "That's an alchemy station!"

Alchemy stations were pretty rare in her country, even if potions and such is always in demand due to parties needing a good way to heal quickly... or any other effect that could not be provided by modern science, including turning your opponent into a frog. In her distracted haze, she noticed something odd about the person: She doesn't remember humans' eye colours including a bright shade of purple... plus that golden necklace with a purple dragon emblem looks a bit... strange.

Then, she felt someone ram into her.

With a startled yelp, she tumbled to the floor, with Sonnet's scythe clattering to the ground. "Oh shoot!" A voice rang out, "Are you okay?" Sakari glanced to the source of the voice, and was staring right at a mousefolk, with a Boreal Elf standing next to them. There was also a lot of books scattered round them.. and her.

Realising what she has done, she scrambled to her feet, being careful as to not accidentally expose the fact that her legs aren't like a regular person, pointed and fading to white at the tips, and began picking up the book. "I'm so sorry," she lamented, "I was distracted and I didn't notice you and-".

"It's okay," the mousefolk said, their big, brown eyes lighting up in a warm smile, "Anyways, where are my manners, I'm Otis." The mousefolk then pointed to the elf, who Sakari noticed was unusually pale, even for a Boreal Elf, with dirty white hair and deep brown eyes, "And this is Styx."

"Greetings," Styx spoke with a bow, "Pleasure to meet you." Sakari stared at the two, before speaking, "Hello... my name is Sakari... Nice to meet you?"

Okay, she is absolutely horrendous at social interactions.

"So, Sakari," Styx continued, picking up the scythe from the floor, "You dropped this." "Oh, thank you," she chimed back, "I would have possibly forgotten to pick it up."

"Sakari, I would have yelled if you did leave without me," Sonnet popped in, completely unprompted. "Sorry, I don't know how to talk to people without the risk of accidentally exposing both of us!" Sakari murmured to Sonnet. "Oh, let me not distract you from the conversation going on, sorry," Sonnet continued, before "leaving."

"Nice scythe, where did you get it?" Styx then continued, handing her the scythe, "I always try to look for anyone willing to custom forge a scythe, but they're usually closed, don't accept those or they are filled with requests already!" Sakari thought for a moment, before speaking, "I got it in a yard sale."

It's the true though, she did literally found Sonnet's scythe in a yard sale. She also promptly blanked out due to Sonnet being so excited to talk to someone, but she usually leave that part out... usually.

Otis promptly burst into a fit of laughter, causing some of the other parties to stare at them in confusion. "Seriously," he blurted out, "A yard sale? Styx, had you ever tried that before?" "Come on, it's not my fault for wanting a custom made one!" Styx hollered at Otis, also laughing. Sakari could tell that the two had a close bond with each other, and frankly, it made her feel a bit more lonely... although it does remind her of her bond with Sonnet.

"Oh yes," Otis suddenly stated after the laughing fit, "I almost forgot my books." Sonnet quickly picked up the few books that were remaining on the floor, before giving them to the mousefolk. "Anyways, you seem like you don't have any party, or are you waiting for someone?" Styx then asked, arms folded. "I don't have a party... although I could join you if you want," she replied, "I mean... I want to go on an adventure, but I do not know where to start."

"That's alright, we have plenty of space," the elf chimed, "Plus, we're pretty experienced if we say so. Right Otis?" Otis gave Styx the most mischievous glance, before speaking, "Yep, unless you count that one time you accidentally scared your own Draught Unicorn and ended up running around in circles before I managed to stop it with my tiny self!"

Styx went quiet for a moment, chuckling to herself. "So, are you willing to join us?" She then continued, "We're heading North to find something incredibly intriguing, a legendary race of beings from Boreal Elves' folklore."

Sakari thought about it, she didn't know where to start with her exploration, and she might get some clues this way. Plus, it would be nice to experience new places, people and things for the first time. So she finally answered, "Yes, absolutely. I think I could start with this." "Me too," Sonnet chimed in, audible only to Sakari, "I think this would be nice."

With arms outstretched, Styx and Otis both cheered, "Welcome to the party, Sakari!"

“What? Are you saying it was all some kind of screwed-up therapy session?” “What other therapy would Cassandra understand? She grew up with no human contact apart from violence. Fighting is her language, Barbara. The core of her being... of her soul. She had things she needed to get off her chest. And so did I.” “You're crazy.” “So they say. But it works.”

[ID: two photos from the 2000 comic Batgirl. The first is from issue one and has Bruce Wayne and Cassandra Cain in their respective costumes with their cowls on. They're standing on the rooftop of Oracle's clocktower and are looking out into the city skyline. Bruce tells Cass, “One rule—no costumed criminals. Oracle will tell you what that means. As for the rest... it's all yours. Remember. On those streets, you... are me. You can start whenever you... uh...” He awkwardly trails off as Cass unexpectedly puts their hand gently on his cheek and stares up at him. Bruce tells them, “That's... really not necessary...” before Cass leaps off the building with their grappling line, eager to begin.

The second photo is from issue 50. The bridge they were therapeutically fighting on just exploded and Bruce dove into the water to grab Cass and pull them into safety. They sit together on dry land without their masks, with Cass laying their head against Bruce's chest as he has his arm around her securely. Cass tells him, “He (David Cain) never let me touch him... hold him... just fighting and hurting...” Cass sits up as they keep a hand on his chest, Bruce holding it as Cass continues, “You hurt me, too... When you sent me away.” Bruce asks, “I need to know once and for all where your loyalties lie, Cassandra. With your father?... Or Barbara?... Or me?” Cass points to the bat emblem on his chest and answers, “No. Not you. This.” END ID]

#HELLLOOO CAN ANYONE HEAR ME #THEY MAKE ME GO INSANE !!!#BRUCE CONSTRUCTING A WHOLE SCENARIO IN THE MIDST OF A LARGE CRISES FOR THEM TO FIGHT #AND FINALLY HAVE THAT THERAPY SESSION FOR CASS IN A WAY THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND AND ACTUALLY BENEFIT FROM !!!#HE MISSED HIS DAUGHTER (gn) AND HAVING CASS TALK TO HIM OR BE AROUND #HES A GIRLDAD IN EVERY WAY (GOOD AND BAD) AND ITS SOOOO #c: batgirl (2000) | i: 1 #c: batgirl (2000) | i: 50 #crypt's panels #bruce wayne #batman #cassandra cain #batgirl #bruce & cass #posts from the crypt
