Olympian family meeting
It'd been mentioned that the Avengers weren't strangers to Olympian gods, or godlings as it was, so it was little effort to get the address of one. Now the Avengers did pay, so Phil figured he had some money, why ever not go see one of his distant relatives? Because really in this pantheon everyone was related. A plane to New Orleans and he was on the Champions' doorstep with only a backpack slung over his shoulder. How deja vu, sort of like how he'd shown up at the Avengers' doorstep. Perhaps he could stay the night if this went alright. Phil grinned and pressed what he figured was the doorbell or intercom.

"Looking for an..." Ah what was the name again, Hercules kid not Hercules. Though that guy had a lot of kids. "Argo I think? Argonaut? Jason? No, no, it was Argo something. Well your resident immortal then."

	A few moments later, the door opened to reveal Argo. "Can I... help you?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-04 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"Did I get the name right?" He leans back and looks Argo up and down. "So, how does this work for you? Are you the god of anything, or just a demi-god or godling? Either way, I suppose you're what I expected." There's a cheeky lopsided grin. "Not like my brothers but very interesting to meet another Olympian." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-05 12:29 am UTC (link)
	"It is Argo," he confirmed, though he sounded just a bit perplexed. "A god, yes, but not of anything in particular." He looked confused still. "You are... from Olympus?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not a god of anything? You've got no sphere of influence? That's a shame." And hardly god-like in his opinion.

"Yes, and mostly no. Never been, in any form really. Not my area. Think I used to dwell in Hades with my brothers, but I don't remember that, only got told the whole god bit recently myself. New, reincarnated, however it works. Fellow greek god is all." He leaned over to peek into the HQ. "You going to let me in or is it one of those security things? Show me around the city then, never been."

	"Time enough for things like that," Argo said. "Perhaps one day I may be the patron of heroes or some such thing, but for now, I am but a simple god out for adventure." He stepped away from the door. "Of course, forgive my lack of manners." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-05 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"But it's so much more interesting when you know what your place is," Phil grinned and stepped inside. "Nice place. Ah, introductions, my bad. Phobetor to men, Phil to the government registry department, and Icelus to the gods. Nice to meet you Argo, I'm...the God of Nightmares." He grinned and spun around to go further into the HQ. "Niiiice. I like the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-05 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Well met, Icelus of Nightmares," Argo said. He nodded. "The other Champions and I went to a lot of work to convert this into a home. It was a nightclub, once upon a time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-06 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"I like it better now, only thing interesting about nightclubs is that everyone is out of their minds, and the lighting. The crazy lighting I like, but there are much better things to do at nights than go to nightclubs." He found a chair and flopped down into it. "So...get many gods coming around?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-06 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Argo laughed at that, finding a seat of his own. "I go to them sometimes, though I do not always stay long. The ladies I meet seem much more interested in other activities, once I arrive." He shook his head. "Not here, but several Asgardians live in Los Angeles. Good friends of mine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-06 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	Phil chuckled. "Looks like you live up to your reputation and station. So...what's a god to do in this town? And while we're doing that, you can tell me what Olympus is like and what the other gods are like too." He hopped back to his feet. "I think that sounds like a good plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-06 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	Argo got to his feet as well. "This is one of the greatest cities in the world," he said. "All manner of entertainment, food, drink, and woman." He gave Phil a curious look. "You've never been?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Then give me the grand tour, Argo who may be patron of adventurers, drinkers, of ladies men." He slung his backpack over his shoulder again and looked over at the question. "Huh? Oh, no never been. Like I said, Hades was apparently more my thing. And figured out this god identity fully about a year or two ago, had the powers before, but until you've got Hades on your doorstep saying 'come back to your old myth home and join us again', it just doesn't really come up you know? Now...where to?"

	"Passing strange then," Argo said. But he'd put the thought aside for now, and speak to his brother about it later. He thought. "Hmm... I know just the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-07 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe, but this way you get to tell all the tales of it you want, to a god, without me having known all of them first or arguing with you on most of them. Take the win." "Ah, perfect. Well lead the way then! Let's see what physical world dreams are made of here!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-07 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Argo nodded. "There's a tale or two to tell there, for certain." Stranger still, though, to have an Olympian on Earth, when he had been banished here... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-07 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	"And I have no doubt plenty more than just one or two, else I'd be disappointed in the demigod I've heard so much about! The Avengers certainly had stories about you and your father. Which is good, because makes the whole signing on process sooo much easier if they've dealt with Olympians." He chatted casually as he let Argo lead them to his chosen destination. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-08 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"Ha!" Argo laughed. "We are an adventurous lot," he agreed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-08 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"And how did you end up here then? Not going to ask why a superhero team, I think I know the answer, but how come this city? Or just chance and because it's got a good nightlife?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-08 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	"The two are related, in truth," Argo said. "Circumstances dictating bringing several of us--many with connections to the original Champions--together. We ended up in New Orleans because one of ours was a native, and the rest had no large ties keeping us elsewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-08 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah, so who's the native then? And anyone interesting on your team? Somehow there's a couple of cases of royalty on the Avengers, then again, I can't find that too odd considering...us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-08 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Nick Salem," Argo explained. "The latest Ghost Rider. As native as he is of anywhere, really." He went on, "I think they are all rather interesting. My good friend Corey is from Nova Roma, where the gods of Olympus are still worshiped." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-09 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"Ooh really?! That's great," he grinned. "Here I thought people had stopped all together. So how is that? On a team with a worshipper?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-09 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	"It is quite the settlement, from what I understand," Argo said. "It works quite well, in truth. His mother and my father are actually friends of a sort. And not in the usual way my father is friends with women. But Corey tends to keep me from doing anything too stupid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-10 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Odd arrangement with a worshipper," Phil said with a wry smile. "So he's the one who tries to keep you from being too wild? How's that working out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-10 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Well enough," Argo said. "He does not not interfere with my dating habits, but provides a bit of extra thought at times. Which I admit, is not my strong suit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-11 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	"You're godly, you do as you please, not all gods go the thoughtful route," he shrugged and said off-handedly. "Where were you taking me? Or is this a surprise?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-12 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"I am a guest in this realm," Argo said. "And while I have my godly pride... my will is not something to be imposed." He grinned. "Just a little place I know. Racks. It is a bikini bar!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-12 12:46 am UTC (link)
	Phil laughed. "That's an unexpected point of view from a god." Most didn't seem to think of themselves as guests, at least that was his impression. A bikini bar with a cute name. Phil smirked and chuckled to himself a bit, that was probably expected given the man's reputation. "Alright. I want to see how the great Argo lives!" He just grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-12 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	"The gods can go hang," Argo said. "With few exceptions, they're all right bastards. I am just happy to walk among mortals and enjoy myself." The place wasn't far, and when they entered, they--or rather Argo--was greeted with an "ARGO!" from several of the bartenders/waitresses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-13 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	Phil blinked at that for a second, thrown by the statement, before the lopsided smirk came back. "Ah, but you are one, and I am one, and gods do not hang so easily. Are they that bad? I've run into few gods." Phil stepped aside and smirked as he watched the greeting. Seemed that Argo was quite the regular. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-13 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Other than my father and mother," Argo said, "I've found the most of the family to be bastards or otherwise scheming manipulators, if not outright villains." He waved happily to the girls. "Good evening, ladies! Drinks for my friend and I, and drinks all around as well!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-13 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	He had to hold back the chuckle at the naive bias that came through there. Everyone bad but my parents? That was what a lot of kids said. Though he guessed Argo was certainly youthful at heart. "I take it you're a regular here. Nice," he grinned as he looked around. "So is there anyone here you haven't slept with?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-13 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	Argo took a drink of the beer one of the women brought him. "A few, I suppose. Jenny, over there, for example. She is married." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-10-14 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah good, you've got respect for boundaries then. Can't say that of all the gods," Phil said as he smiled behind a sip of beer. He grinned and raised his glass. "Well then, to gods taking on...Racks!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-10-15 12:03 am UTC (link)
	"Far too many stories of my grandfather's improprieties," Argo said. He raised his glass and took a drink. "To gods and Racks!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
