Chapter Seven: Gambling Gods
"Lost again, Zeus. Hand it over." Poseidon said, pointing to the jewel encrusted goblet. The ruler of the Gods groaned and tossed his favorite goblet towards his brother's head. "Ooo, temper, temper." Poseidon tsked as he caught the cup. They heard a chuckle from behind them. Zeus growled and whipped around to see Hades.
"What're you laughing at?" Zeus roared at the God of the Underworld. Hades' eyes widened innocently.
"You, of course, brother." Hades replied.
"You're not much better." Zeus grumbled angrily.
"Oh, gambling! I love gambling!"
Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon turned to find our motley crew of protagonists exiting a dimensional hole.
"What the Hell?" Hades said to the RBSW, who was standing right in front of him. The RBSW shrugged.
"Can we play?" He asked the ruler of the Underworld. Hades shrugged, mocking the Brit.
"Ask the head honcho." He told the group. The RBSW turned to face Zeus and Poseidon.
"So, how 'bout it?"
"What do you suggest we play?" Texas Hold 'Em is sort of boring." Zeus said with a scowl.
"You only don't want to play because you keep losing." Hades scoffed.
"Shut it, flamer." Zeus snapped.
"How about strip poker?" Ayame suggested.
Romeo immediately liked the idea, and everyone but Zeus chimed in with their agreements. They stared at Zeus. Zeus stared at them. They blinked. Zeus blinked.
"Oh, all right, as long as Aphrodite plays."
"Dude, isn't she your daughter?"
Zeus turned to look at Ed, "So?" he asked, thunderbolts appearing in both hands.
"Uh– no problems here."
"Good."
Once Aphrodite was summoned, they all sat down in a happy circle and began to play the game.
Three hours later found a totally clothed Jasper, a sock missing from the Random-British-Scientist-Wizard, a shirtless Ayame, Romeo, Aphrodite, and Ed, a boxer-clad Poseidon, and a totally naked Hades and Zeus who had also lost all of their territories.
"Wow, the gods suck. Especially Zeus and Hades." Romeo stated.
"I know," his lover commented, "I now own Paris, France. Yay, fashion!"
"Wait a minute!" Ed declared angrily, "the Random-British-Scientist-Wizard is right here. Get him!"
"Well, I guess it's time to blow this Popsicle stand!" The RBSW said, grabbed Hades and Zeus's clothes, and disappeared.
"Fuck! He took my clothes." Zeus and Hades yelled simultaneously.
"Well, don't yinz guys have anymore?" Jasper inquired.
"Not really."
"WE'RE MEN, WE DON'T NEED EXTRA CLOTHES!" Zeus bellowed.
"Yeah, we do," Hades grumbled, "I told you at our last business meeting that we did, but no, 'One uniform is enough' you said, 'Why would we possibly need more clothes?' you said. Idiot…"
"Whatever," Zeus said dismissively, "We just need to track down our clothes. Hmm, who to call? Who to call? Aha! I got it. ARTEMIS! ARTEMIS, COME HERE!"
"You rang?" Artemis asked in a creepy, Lurch-esque voice.
"Yes, Artemis, I need you to find the man who stole my clothes and retrieve them. You shall accompany these four young lords, who own the majority of Hades' and my territories and are also on a quest to find this elusive criminal!"
"Yes, sir. But I do believe I shall require some assistance," pulling out a red and white pokéball, Artemis threw it to the ground in an overdramatic fashion and yelled, "Sherlock, I choose you!"
Two days later, Sherlock Holmes materialized in front of the people-who-are-still-in-the-area-we-haven't-named-where-the-story-is-currently-taking-place. And there was much rejoicing.
Once Sherlock Holmes was caught up to speed, the growing group of protagonists left the Greek Gods World.
please review! i'll force our favorite protagonists to give you a country if you do
