Gods out of the Machine (Private)

[Rye]

(So this is a private rp , dunno who will read this , I still think no one reads them. But this is between me and HRE, and this time it's personal. Haha , fun fun)

Cronos growled from his imprisoned dimension. The room was small. Not cramped , about the size of a prison stall with yellow walls , a bed , a desk , paper , quills and ink. To one side , a tiny barred window to let in perpetual light in a solid square beam onto the lock of the door sitting opposite. A large ornate door made of iron and gold. Made to keep him here and bind him , fuelled by the gods own might and power. Nothing here ever moved. Or did anything. His power all but removed. Things were still ticking outside of course but here it wasn't. For millennia now he had sat here , waiting , ever waiting. Every so often he would get news of things. Mostly other titans grumbling about the sate of affairs. The stories were good though. A fun clash between his daughter and son, his first born getting a girlfriend. Now a days it was just some less interesting stories. Some real big fights with the humans , rather hoped they would finish off his kids. About time someone kicked them off their mountain. They never did anything, if he was in charge again there would be a lot of changes. For a start there would be no more loafing around. Time was money , and he was time and money was very very important to those little humans made of clay.

He sighed , a rocky hollow sigh , but nothing changed. He was still here. Waiting , just waiting. Had all the time in the world. Encased in his own power. Had to admire the irony though. The silence continued, it could have been a hour , maybe years , a decade, it mattered not. A scrapping caught his ear. Looking up he saw a hawk at the bars and nodded "Well bird , what is the news. Has Zeus stuck a bolt up his ass, maybe Dionysus drank himself to death finally , or perhaps Hades fell asleep at the wheel and we've got the dead wandering around the realms of the living? Well bird , what is it?" he asked with a grin, his teeth yellowed and creaked like old ivory under tension

"Titan Hyperion the watcher sends his regards"
"Tell him to shove them up his ass unless he has something worth saying" he grumbled , still bitter about his incarceration. It was as much his fault as anyone else's but he still blamed everyone else equally
The hawk cocked it's head , ignoring his statement "sun and stars move strangely as of late. Power wanes against the Olympians and towards men. But power of old , still locked, never changed" it croaked , and flew off.

Time still marched on outside. Cronus estimated some centuries passed. His thoughts drifted back to what he had been told and decided to test the his restraints. Going to the great doors to his prison. He placed both hands on them as he done so long ago back when he was first cast down and summoned up his power. Pushing he felt a creak in the metal. Grinning he went full force , the door only holding a few seconds before blackening and crumbling away into blackened rot "Well well. Someone has been poorly managing their power" he chuckled and went to go rally up his siblings. Time for a rematch.


Stretching the titan breathed in the free air. Clothed in the traditional toga it was somewhat blackened and stained from his years in captivity. Now with a powerhouse team he strutted towards mount Olympus. Feeling the power between his clenched fists he went up , proud as could be , tossing what little defences there was in his path to one side. Seems the prediction was right. In his absence , the gods were weak. Taking no time at all he ticked in the large golden ornate doors to the main hall. The place glowed and glittered , white marble everywhere. Two semi circled tables stood to either side of a large table , holding a replica of the world they used to see and toy with their little heroes and play at comedy and tragedy.

Zeus was getting fed grapes up on his high chair , lightning bolts at his side in a pot. Cronus laughed "Look at you all. So grown up, so powerful!" he declared to them. His other titans following in behind him , jossiling and kicking the Olympians out of their way. Cronus advanced on the main chair. Zeus rose up and tossed a bolt of lighting at him , which he easily caught in his hands "Ohh , that feels good. But you've gotten weak" he said , tossing it around like a discus. He took aim and threw it at the white bearded god , striking him in the chest, toppling him over out of his throne. "Time has made you weak. All falls to time in the end!" he declared , putting a sandalled foot on his son and kicking him off as he sat. Ganymede the cup bearer looked down at his fallen kidnapper and then at the titan before him , hesitantly pouring out a cup of wine. Cronus looked the boy over and laughed "this is what you were doing up here! No no , this is too much. You are all so soft and childish. You do not have the balls to rule" he declares looking around as the titans stole the seats at the tables "First decree by titan Cronus , king of Olympus, titan of time and age. I strip the Olympians of their remaining power!" he declared , rising to full hight and going towards a replica map of earth. He snatched up the little figures of the gods on the area of mount Olympus "and I cast both down to the world of the mortals!" he decreed , scattering the little gods and goddesses across the map in bunches , their power split but still in the same realm at least. "And I leave them there to struggle. May they appear as powerless and pathetic as I see them. As mere children before the father!" he shouted with a laugh , getting smirks and chuckles from the other deities.

Grinning he turned back , the room devoid of any of his children or grandchildren. Just him and his titans , sitting waiting for the work to begin now that their ex conquerors were disposed of. They would appear down on the earth. But not the one they were used to. They had to see the work of Cronus himself , time marched on from the Hellenic age and had now arrived in the modern age.

Poseidon was lounging in his throne when his father stormed into the chambers. His jaw went slack for a few moments as he scrambled to grab his trident and hurled it at his father, but his trident was redirected at him by Hyperion. The trident impaled itself in the back of this throne pinning the sea god by his throat to his throne. No matter how much he grasped and clawed at his weapon he could not free himself from his own weapon. He watched with fear as he saw his father kick Zeus off his throne. His vision soon went white.

Hermes could only watch as one by one his family was incapacitated by the titans. Hermes was not a fighter, however, he was not a coward either. While he was wrapped in deciding whether or not to fight or flee he found himself impaled by Lapetus. While he was still immortal Hermes could not help but cry out in pain as he felt his insides twisted around by the cruel Titan. Eventually the pain became too much for Hermes and he soon passed out.

Poseidon could feel the sand around him and he could hear the waves crashing. He was on a beach, a small one but a beach none the less. He could hear people around him murmurs. There were a few that were barking out orders. He felt himsefl being turned on his side and then being set on a cold board. The feeling was new to him, it wasn't wood, yet it wasn't metal either. He slowly managed to open his eyes only to have his gaze meet the blinding rays of the sun. He tried to move his hand to block the sun, only to find that his arms had been tied down and when he tried to move his head he found that he could not, "Its okay kid, your safe now." he heard a voice say, " Just try not to move and well get you to the hospital. He heard two loud slams and he felt himself moving. He tried to open his eyes again only to see an environment totally foreign to him, it seemed that he was in a metal box of some sort.

Hermes groaned a bit as he slowly regained consciousness. he slowly opened his eyes and looked around. The ground was black, and there were very large buildings around him. There were bits of trash fluttering about. As he tried to get up he saw two sets of legs walking towards him, but legs were covered in blue fabric and they had on strange black shoes. " Jesus Christ sarge." He felt a cover being draped over him and he was so weak that he felt back onto the cold black ground, "Christ, what the hell happened to this kid?"

Eros did not have as much of a safe landing. He fell three stories into a large pool of water.Jerking he tried to fly. But nothing worked. He felt something grab his arm and pull him up onto the ledge. His hair dripped down over his face. Craning his neck to look around everything was still white. Only more silver. His ears were still buzzing. Rubbing his eyes he took another look of his surroundings. Stores. Everywhere he looked big walk in stores. Looking up he saw glass "a bazaar?" he said to himself. He looked down at himself. He was still dressed the same. A white thick cloth robe around his waits , still pinned, covering almost all his legs , and a set of sandals , with the long laces lacing up his smooth legs. Looking behind him he saw his feathery wings missing. He assumed those were part of his power. He had had them so long too and they were ever so pretty. Turning his attention to his rescuer he gave them a smile and hopped off the stone side and went for a wander around this strange place "H-hey kid ,wait for security, you just fell from a third story height" they called "and you should wait for your parents" the said but he was already not listening. The god of love looked very strange , for a start , under dressed. He stopped at a store with clothes in the window , they looked barbaric and restrictive. But he was acutely aware he was cold and shivering. Looking up he read "baby...Gap. Huh? Guess apparel emporium was taken then" he commented to himself. His shoes squelching he went inside.
Mall security was trailing , wondering what to do about him "should we look for the parents." said one
"Spacy kid , could be on drugs" said the other
"Doubt it , too young. Then again maybe he got jumped by someone" the first suggested
"or ill in the head."
"you radio someone"
"who?"
"social services. We need to find the kid's family. I'll do a standard lost kid protocol..."
"Keep it localised and get him off the floor , he'll start to spook people. The others said he must have jumped , the costumers say from a height. But there's nothing up there to get to to jump from."
"okay , lost kid and jumper then." he said leaving the other and trailing the strange child into the store.

Apollo was lucky and unlucky. The golden boy didn't fall so far. Looking around he saw glass. He was warm and dry. He wore the more modest toga over one shoulder with a gold wreath still perched on his head , although the gold was gone and just left it green. He was sitting , that much was clean , on a seat. A cartridge maybe. He hadn't been to earth in a while so maybe it was a fancy covering? Once he focused on what was around him he saw rows of seats , and there was shouting and laughing around him. "H-hey , sunbeam" hiccuped a voice. Looking to his left he saw a girl, dressed in a bedsheets "you for the hic , pub crawl?" he asked , leaning too far over "Drink!" she commanded , getting chants of drink drink drink from around them. Apollo shrugged and knocked back the drink. Then another , and then another. He didn't come too until he felt cold cuffs clapped on him "W-whaaa!" he screamed , tears welling up in his eyes "Come on rummy. You were caught with $30'000 in jewels down your costume" the officer explained while the small god threw up "Alright , you're too young for this. Who served you. You know what , doesn't matter. Hospital , now. We better get you cleaned up and get the id later. But you're not off the hook." he man in blue said to him , pushing him down into a car and closing the door behind him "dumb kids. They get younger and younger but this takes the cake. Looks like he was about to cry" he said to his partner , interrupted by wailing screams and sobs from the car and he sighed "blood alcohol was on deadly amounts. We'd better get going or he;ll be on the transplant list. I'll be dammed if I have to fill in the forms for that" the other replied , getting in and turning the sirens on.

Poseidon could feel the strange men poking and prodding his weakened body as the strange metal box kept moving at a rather fast past. He felt a tight pressure on his right arm, "BP is 115/75. Heart rate is only slightly elevated. Damn, this is one hell of an outlier."
"Your telling me, ten year old washes up in the surf and is has no signs of nearly drowning. Did we ever find his parents?
"Nope."
"Great, we will have to get social services involved when we reach the hospital. Speaking of which the good doctors are here to greet us."
Poseidon shut his eyes as light flooded into the metal box and he felt the board he was strapped to being moved, "Ten year old washed up on the beach. No signs of drowning, BP and heart rate are normal. No parents."
"Is he speaking and moving?"
" haven't heard him speak and we have had him restrained for fear of a neck injury."
" Alright, we will take it from here. Bring him to Bay three!"

Heremes was picked up by the strange men and wrapped in another warm blanket. The blanket was a welcome feeling from the cold ground. "Mind telling us your name?" One of the men asked him as he was placed in a strange metal container, the seats appeared to be made of something resembling leather, but it wasn't leather."
"W-w-wwhat?" Hermes croaked out as he shivered a bit.
" Craig, lets just get the kid to the hospital." The other man got into the box and the strange thing started to move.
" So what do you think happened?
" Hell if I know, sex slave escapee, drug kid, could be any numberr of things."

The pretend cop walked up to the strange child "hey there" he said ,trying to catch his attention. He was curiously examining the clothes , like they were the most complex thing ever. The boy looked at him , he paused , it was slightly mesmerizing. Snapping too he decided to go for quick and painless
"ok there little guy , you lost?".He got a shake of the head back "okay , you know where you are" another shake. "scared?" he asked again. Acutely aware he was starting to upset him "okay , hush now ,hush" he said scooping him up bridal style "how about we get you a juice box? We'll call someone to look you over. You had a fall didn't you". A blank stare and a nod. "Okay , so we'll get a towel for you , you're still dripping" Something worrying came to him , although maybe it was just what was always in the news these days "anyone hurt you. Maybe throw you down into the pool" he got a nod "okay , shhh , it's okay" he said now fearing the worst "was there any touching involved. Like grown ups do in love?" he asked. The little god thought. That was a strange way to put it , he was the god of love and as he understood he had been cast down here, so that was why he had gotten hurt. So he gave a nod. the man picked up his radio "the spacey kid, call an ambulance or something. Or the police. We might have something like the law and order shows , says he was tossed out there and might have been sexual abused. That and possible attempted murder" he radioed.

Eros happily snuggled in. Very rarely was he the one carried like this. Things happened around him. He got some sort of soft box , like soft stone with a tube in it. They put it to his mouth and he sipped. Tasted like sweet wine. He he stayed there , still damp but he didn't mind. Soon he was passed from one person to another , and then another. Soon he ignored all that. He just thought it was fun, "Don't disturb the outfit, we'll need to check for evidence. Strip him and get him in for examination. Who is he?!" The little god still had his juice so didn't even notice as he was taken into the hospital.

Poor Apollo screamed and screamed while he was treated. While Eros was fine to not talk , Apollo couldn't stop. Soon enough he was taken and cuffed to his bed while they got a lot of fluids into him. He was still pleading to anyone around him to help , the police were just waiting for him to burn out so they could talk without him panicking. "Okay boy , okay. we get you're a bit panicked . We all go on nights out. But not at your age. You're not in trouble...we're just sure you're going to do a runner as soon as we take them off. Apollo paused midscream as he saw someone familiar pass by. The cops followed his gaze "there! Hey! Hey! Fishboy! Over here! Don't ignore me! You dick! I can't go to jail! I'm too pretty! Heeeellllpppp mmmeeee!" he wailed , crying again in streams of tears

Poseidon jerked his head a bit as he heard Apollo yelling and instantly groaned, " Oh fuck off sunboy! The last thing i need is your drunken ass yelling at me!" He tried and struggled against his bindings causing the nurses and doctors to restrain him even more, "This is all your fault!" He screamed as he was carted off to a separate bay where he was sedated and transferred to a bed. The doctor sighed and went over to talk with the officers, " This day just got a whole lot more complicated.' she groaned a bit as she examined the former sun god.

As Hermes was being transported in the strange vessel he heard a voice that he wasnt sure where it was coming from, " Car 35, redirect to Hillvalley Mall, possible Code 249 and 669."
"Roger, dispatch be advised we still have a 196 in car with us, advise."
" Hillvalley takes priority, can I trust you two with a double transport?'
"10-4 dispatch. Craig turn on the blues and twos." He turned to Hermes, "Hang on little guy." he smirked a bit as he flipped a few switches and suddenly there was this loud siren and flashing light that startled Hermes so much that he let a bit of pee out into the soft blanket that he was covered in. The vessel turned abruptly and sped off in the opposite direction

"Why you two time son of a whore! You get your lazy ass out of bed and do something! Anything! I am not drunk!" he screamed , pausing to throw up again "this is all your fault! If I ever get out of these I'm gonna I'm gonna!" he screamed back before settling down into a dull sulk. The nurse on duty for him just sighing and getting a cloth to clean him up again. Apollo jerked back a bit as he was looked at. Blushing lightly , she was pretty. But then again every person he ever loved had chosen to jump off a cliff or turn into the landscape. The attention was what he craved more. He was real good for her. Doing everything he thought she wanted. Well, until she stuck a tube in him to hydrate him. After that the police could ask some questions. He pouted but still rattled the chains against the side of the bed.

Posiden was taken back out of his sleep when he was in the proper ward. A kindly old man sat on a stool beside his bed "hello there. Bit of a shock having you brought in. Was expecting more respiration , not identity checks. Now first. Do you understand me?" the man asked "I'm the doctor on duty and I'm going to look after you for now." he explained seeing if he got any reaction from the god of the sea "lets get that off so you can talk" he said , taking the neck brace off him so he could move it around "shouldn't be broken , we checked. It's amazing you don;t have anything but superfluous injuries. Nothing some plasters and rest can't heal."

Eros finished his juice he was outside. He didn't look around much. Just up at the sky. He got the same fright poor Hermes got when the police car approached. He cried out and turned into the chest of whoever was holding him and whimpered. Looking back up he feared the worst. Maybe one of the titans wanted to finish him off. Make sure he didn't come back. His weakened bladder couldn't take the scare though, a little spurted out, not enough to cause any issue , but enough to notice "should have known , his nerves are shot. Head inside , grab some diapers for him. What is he, just get the biggest size" the person holding him ordered. He was then put back on the ground with a package thrust in his arms as two men approached him. He whimpered again. Did the cause the noise, he was scared.

[HRE superfunnel]

Poseidean groaned a bit as he was woken up, "w-where am i?" He groaned and looked at the old man. "W-whats a doctor?" He looked at the old man suspiciously. For all he knew the kind old man was actually a titan in disguise. "I I I I understand you." He hid a bit under the blankets. Without his powers the god of the seas felt weak and helpless against whomever or what ever This man was and Posidean was not one to take chances. This whole situation was a bit much for the god of the seas and since he didn't really have any of his powers left there was only one thing he could really do and that was to run, which he did attempt.

The officer sighed a bit as he was briefed on the situation by the mall cop, "Christ on a cracker." He sighed loudly and picked up the former winged god, "it's okay buddy your safe now." He noted the diapers, "have some trouble holding it in do We? Well don't you worry, we will get you protected nice and quick." The officer opened the back door revealing heremes wrapped up in another blanket, "Hey bud, mind looking away for a jit?" He smiled as Hermes did just that. The officer then went to work diapering Eros. Soon the former god was diapered and rewrapped in the blanket before being buckled up, "there we go, nice and dafe" he got into the drivers seat and started the drive yo the hospital

Eros looked up , confused as the pack was taken from him again. The boy fussed and squirmed as he was laied out on the back seat , his thick skirt lifted up to reveal he had nothing on under them. He started to react a little more violently while he was changed , but settled back down with some reassuring hushes , long enough for the cop to tape up the sides so they held comfortably around his waist. He swiftly tugged it back down to it's original position. He took the blanket and yanked it around his small frame , warming up as he felt the soft cloth over his bare skin. He sat in the seat , letting the officer clip him in. He gave him a worried look , seeing the boy beside him also locked up in these strange ropes he assumed this was normal. He looked at the glass beside him , seeing his own face for the first time. He yelped a little and backed up , before moving close to examine it further. His hair was different. Blond , with what looked like pink highlights. It was still fluffy and loose which he liked. His eyes had changed as well. Before they were a soft pink and burned with intense passion. Now they were a dull white marble colour. He guessed like his wings they were part of his powers. He was also smaller, down to the size of a child, or maybe a teen, hard to say. He guessed this was Cronus' doing. He sadly thought of the rest of the gods and wonder what they made of this strange world. He looked around the inside of the car as they moved "hmm , chariot?" he guessed , but didn't see any horses. Maybe it was like Apollo's and didn't need horses. Then again his moved because it was the sun. This one wasn't the sub and yet it still moved.

Looking to the other one in the back with him he gave him a adorable smile. Pausing he looked a little closer "Hermes?" he asked , cautiously. Given his own altered appearance he wasn't sure about anyone else. He is new underwear crinkled as he moved forward to get closer, only his seat belt kept him at a distance, otherwise he would be all over the boy , examining every aspect of him. Eros even in godhood never had a healthy respect for personal space.

The doctor nodded "hit you head heard did you. Well a doctor works here , in a hospital. We give medicine and cure sick people" he explained slowly "you were hurt so we brought you here to get better" he explained, gently he unbuckled him from the bed "there we go. How about we make you comfortable. A hot meal, a wash , some soft clothes and then we can talk more" he offered. He lifted him out of the bed and put him down on the floor. He had a small bundle folded and pressed pyjamas for him to wear , the same they gave to long term patient. He took his hand and led him to the bathroom where a hot bath had been run for him "now tell me truthfully. Do you need some help washing yourself, still hurting anywhere?" he asked. He always found with one like these the medical examination was best done when he was cleaning and preparing them for the interview. The process was the same as for any walk in from a disaster. Wash , clothe, feed, rest. Everything else he had to do , get teeth layout. Ask questions, all the rest, could be done while he worked.

[HRE superfunnel]

Hermes smiled a bit as he realized who was put into the car with him, " Eros, Im glad that you are okay. After What grandfather did I wasn't sure if I was the only one to survive." he said as he tried to snuggle up close to the other former god. "Im just happy that Im not alone in this situation anymore." he sighed, "What was that thing that the man put around your waist?" he asked as he tried to get a better look at the diaper, of course heremes had no idea what a diaper looked like in the modern times. Within ten minutes the cruiser arrived at the hospital and the two where handed over to the doctors.

Poseidon nodded a bit as the basics were explained to him. He was starting to understand more and more as the man talked. He smiled at the prospect of hot food, a bath and clothes. He squirmed a bit as the doctor picked him up and gently examined the bundle that he was given. When he was asked about help washing himself he was unsure, he still felt rather weak and decided to nod a little bit to the doctor. While the water was his domain he no longer had his powers and his new body felt very weak, he did not want to risk drowning in his former domain.
