Section 26: Casual Calamities
The River Lethe Floods its Banks and reaches the upper world!
Zeus: HADES! This is your entire fault! All your time spent on Olympus has disorganized the Underworld! What if it reaches here and wipes our memories? What then?
Hades: (TO HIMSELF): A relief then, what else? I'll never have to remember your ugly face.
Aphrodite: EEKKK! Control it at once, Hades! If the water reaches here, all my memories of my beautiful new cosmetic set and my lovely silk curtains will be erased.
Artemis: For a moment I wish the Lethe would erase my memories.
Aphrodite: Why?
Artemis: So that I'd NEVER HAVE TO REMEMBER YOUR SNOTTY REMARKS AND DISGUSTING STORIES!
Apollo: Whoa, sister, chill. Though I do hope the water doesn't come here. All the memories of my best haikus would be, like, BAM-gone!
Hades (to himself): Another thing that would be a relief.
Poseidon: Hades, do something! What if it overtakes me? I'll never remember Percy or his achievements…..
Athena: WOW, this is the first time Poseidon ever spoke thoughtfully…..
Poseidon:….or the flavor of my favourite Salt cookies!
Athena:…and I spoke too soon.
Demeter: HADES! What are you still standing here for? I'll never be able to recall the recipe of Oat Cheerios!
Hades (under his breath): And yet another relief. (Clears throat). People, relax.
Zeus: WHY?
Hades: Because the Lethe has not flooded. I have checked my reports, and it is as calm as ever. Apparently, someone pulled our legs.
Zeus: WHO IS IT? CONFESS AT ONCE, OR MY WRATH WILL BE UNLIMITED.
Poseidon: If, they confess, will it be limited?
Zeus: Shut your TRAP, Poseidon.
