Mini Olympics On Olympus: Next week, Olympus will be holding a mini Olympics. The events to be taking place are still to be decided.


Artemis: One word: Archery.

Hermes: Huh? Wait. So we're, like, coming up with ideas for events?

Artemis: Yes. Archery.

Hermes: Surely we can come up with more than that.

Artemis: Archery.

Hermes: Anything else?

Artemis: Archery.

Hermes: Like, apart from that.

Artemis: Archery, the target being Hermes's head.

Hermes: Ah! No, I didn't mean -

Artemis: Archery, then.

Hermes: Fine.

Apollo: Poetry contest!

Artemis: Sorry?

Apollo: Look!

We can compete in

Poetry competition

Because they're awesome

Artemis: Um...no. Archery.

Apollo: Poetry!

Haikus are better

Than archery contests 'cause

They are more awesome

Artemis: You are mistaken.

Apollo: I am not!

Artemis is mistaken

She thinks that archery is

Better than haikus

Artemis: You totally messed up there.

Apollo: Sorry?

Artemis: Haikus are 5-7-5, O Haiku Master.

Apollo: Thanks!

Artemis: Ever heard of sarcasm? Anyways, haikus are 5-7-5.

Apollo: I know! Why tell me, Artemis? I'm the god of poetry, and therefore of haikus! I know everything about them!

Artemis: Your haiku is 7-7-5. So, you clearly don't know everything. Or even the basics.

Apollo: You think my first line was off? That's ridiculous. I'm the god of -

Artemis: The god of bad haikus, yeah. The first line was seven syllables.

Apollo: It was not!

Artemis: Count them.

Apollo: Count what?

Artemis: The syllables.

Apollo: In the first line?

Artemis: Yes.

Apollo: Um...okay. Artemis - is - mistaken. That's...three?

Artemis: It's seven!

Apollo: No, because this is the first line, remember? Only five syllables.

Artemis: Yeah, but your first line was seven syllables!

Apollo: It was not!

Artemis: Count them!

Apollo: Fine! Ar - t'mis - is - mista - ken. One, two, three, four, five. Happy?

Artemis: No! Ar - te - mis - is - mis - ta - ken. Seven!

Apollo: Ah, but it's not! It's only three words! Therefore, because of Murphy's law, it cannot be seven syllables!

Artemis: What? Murphy's law -

Apollo: Is demonstrated above.

Artemis: No! Last I checked, Murphy's law was about everything going wrong when it could, or something like that.

Athena: Murphy's law: the idea that everything that can go wrong will go wrong.

Apollo: No! Murphy's law: the idea that if there are three words, there cannot be a sum of seven syllables.

Artemis: Not!

Athena: Look it up.

Apollo: Fine!

Athena: We should have a trivia contest.

Hermes: For the mini-Olympics?

Athena: Isn't that what we were talking about?

Hermes: Well...yes.

Athena: We should have a trivia contest.

Hermes: You just said that.

Athena: Yes, but no one else responded.

Artemis: As long as we have an archery competition - which I will win - I'm fine with a trivia contest.

Hephaestus: Let's have a build-your-own-automaton contest!

Leo: Can I compete?

Hephaestus: Is this open for demigods?

Zeus: Sure.

Hephaestus: Then yeah, Leo.

Leo: I'm going to win.

Hephaestus: I don't agree.

Leo: Fine, I'm going to get second place.

Hephaestus: That's more like it.

Charles Beckendorf: Not if I compete.

Leo: Oh yeah?

Becky: Yeah, I'll get second.

Leo: Haha.

Becky: Immature, Leo. Kindly fix my username.

Leo: Only if you don't compete. Haha! Now, you must not compete, or forever more be signed on as "Becky"! Haha! Blackmail!

Charles Beckendorf: Leo, you're forgetting that I'm even more experienced than you. Even if I'm dead.

Leo: Oh...oh, yeah...

Poseidon: We should have a trident throwing competition!

Zeus: No! A zap-the-Poseidon competition!

Ares: No! No, no, no! We should have a battle! A jousting competition! A kill-the-Jackson competition!

Poseidon: Ares, I will not let you kill my son for the sake of a mini-Olympics.

Ares: But -

Poseidon: It's not going to happen.

Ares: Fine! We'll have sword fighting, javelin throwing, killing -

Artemis: Don't forget the archery!

Apollo: And the poetry!

Ares: Bah, the poetry! Archery? Ah...whatever, sure. Cowards, not actually running into the battle...

Athena: And the trivia.

Zeus: Okay, okay, so we've got out events. Now -

Demeter: Cereal tasting! Whoever can tell apart cheerios, apple jacks, fruit loops, and honey cheerios wins! Stuff like that!

Hades: Oh Demeter! Demeter wants to taste cereal? In a mini-Olympics? What is wrong with you, Demeter?

Demeter: Nothing! Cereal tasting!

Hades: Cereal tasting is not an event!

Demeter: Of course it is!

Hades: Cereal is disgusting!

Demeter: It's delicious!

Hades: Not! Not, not, not!

Demeter: How could you say that -

Hades: Cereal is disgusting!

Demeter: It's -

Zeus: Yes, yes, whatever. So, we'll have a trivia contest, an archery contest, a...poetry contest -

Hermes: *Grumbles* Footracing?

Zeus: Be quiet, Hermes. So, a trivia contest, an archery contest, a...um, poetry contest - sorry, people - a footrace, a build-your-own-automaton contest, a trident throwing competition, a jousting competition, a javelin-throwing competition, a sword fight, and a...cereal tasting competition.

Hephaestus: As long as there's a build-your-own-automaton competition, I'm fine with there being a cereal tasting competition, and even a poetry contest.

Zeus: Um, good. So, is that it? Should we shut the forum down now?

Hephaestus: Yeah. Bye, guys, good luck next week.
