[Hercules is laughing heartily.]

You know, if this were thirty years ago, we would not be waiting in endless lines, but doing them!

[A pause, his expression sobers.]

...Just say no, kids. Tis not a good idea unless you are a god.

Doing what?

[ Clueless. ]

[godlyendowment]

Substances that were illegal but quite popular.

I only tried them once. Honest.

[mortemscintilla]

Substances?

[ Whisssssssper. ]

You don't mean - [ Looking both ways. ] - drugs, do you?

[godlyendowment]

Would you really think I meant milkshakes if I told you?

[mortemscintilla]

...No?

[ Derpiest face ever. ]

[godlyendowment]

Well good, because your guess was correct.

[mortemscintilla]

Is it really a good idea, announcing stuff like that on the Network?

[godlyendowment]

It was thirty years ago! There is a statute of limi-something on that sort of thing. Besides, I know a gorgeous lawyer!

Okay, she does not actually live in the city, that might be a problem.

[mortemscintilla]

...I don't think there are any lawyers here.

Could you imagine the lawsuits if there were?

[godlyendowment]

Against the deities? I know from experience that gods usually have the best lawyers.

[mortemscintilla]

From 'experience'?

[ Squintiiiiing. ]

You know 'gods'?

[godlyendowment]

Hello, my name is Hercules. Perhaps you've heard of me.

[mortemscintilla]

What - ?

[mortemscintilla]

But - !

[mortemscintilla]

You don't look like the guy in the movie.

[ He means the Disney version ;; ]

[godlyendowment]

I'm manlier, yes. Thank you for noticing.

[mortemscintilla]

[ pauuuuuuuuse. ]

You're - seriously Hercules?

With the super-strength and everything?

[godlyendowment]

Do I need to punch someone to prove it?

1/2

[mortemscintilla]

Ah!

N-no! That won't be necessary.

[mortemscintilla]

I'm Li Shenshung. Nice to meet you, Mr. Hercules.

Never thought I'd see the real deal...

[godlyendowment]

It is nice to meet you, Li. And please, it is just 'Hercules'.

[mortemscintilla]

Hercules. Right.

...Are you one of those 'Deities' I've heard about?

[godlyendowment]

Not of this place, no. I am at odds with them like the rest of us.

[mortemscintilla]

But shouldn't it be, um, illegal for one deity to kidnap another?

...There has to be a law somewhere...
