uhhhhhhh ok. what? WHAT? sorry. WHAT? ok. so no. 0 showed up becuz of course he would. he couldnt pass up an invite THAT juicy. i dont even totally get all the little coded things nyx slipped in but i could still tell she was laying it DOWN for no. 0. so he shows up and nyx was gonna send us home so they could do their usual little closed door talks but then no. 0 said "nope" and had us stay. which ofc meant nyx couldnt actually say what she wanted and i could tell she was PISSED. ive gotta admit it was one hell of a power move by no. 0 because she just tossed him the helm and kicked us out. i wonder what info no. 0 passed up? eh, who cares, weve got all three pieces of the KEY OF THREE! WOOOO!
Miss. Nocturnal: I am pleased you arrived safely. I hope the trip wasn’t too arduous.
No. 0: Well, it’s not the first time I’ve “died.” Though, I will say the boat ride was a nice touch.
Miss. Nocturnal: Indeed. Your thread is rather… unique. Tangled, knotted, and frayed. It is a miracle you are still alive.
No. 0: It is.
Miss. Nocturnal: Well, shall I return your allies to their rightful place among the living so we may—
No. 0: Nope. Whatever you need to say, Nyx, you can say to all of us.
Miss. Nocturnal: Ah—but… Are you certain?
No. 0: Why wouldn’t I be? I’m only here to negotiate for the Olympian Antekey. Isn’t that, right?
Miss. Nocturnal: I… well, not entirely so. There is… another matter. I thought my message was clear—
No. 0: That can wait. What is important right now is the Antekey, of which we have two-thirds. Now, as I understand it, the Underworld has been cut off from Olympus. Correct?
Miss. Nocturnal: Yes.
No. 0: So, you have no need for your Antekey. There is no point in guarding something that leads nowhere.
[Miss. Nocturnal handed the Helm of Hades to No. 0]
Miss. Nocturnal: Consider us even. Our debts are paid with your Cafe and Diner, even if our debtor is no longer around to collect.
No. 0: I’ll make sure she knows.
