[Standing by the pool of the dead, Eyeball sitting on her shoulder.]

He's not here. I can feel it.

Hermes: Well, the underworld is a pretty big place.

Eris: Yes, but trust me when I tell you that you have never wanted anything more in your life than you want to come up with an idea about where he might be right now.

[Freeman is just greeting his coworkers and hopping on his daily commute train. His coffee warm, his notes haven't changed a bit. He wonders where Barney's been today, not like him to be late to work. He sighs...and yet feels like he's missing something.]

Hermes: The Valley of Heroes?

Hades: Gee thanks for selling out to the Queen Bee.

Eris: What do you expect from the god of thieves? [To Hermes.] You can go now, this cretin just confirmed that's where he is.

Take me there, Hades, or I swear to you you'll feel this Queen Bee's stinger right in the nuts.

Hades: Fine! Sheesh! Keep your smoke panties on.

[In Not-Black Mesa, Freeman is simply running schematics on the new Anti-Mass Spectrometer Dr. Rosenberg unveiled and yet, this emptiness doesn't disappear. He should be happy!]

What's wrong with me?

[The Eye has discreetly departed from Eris' company, she's too upset to notice. Now he plops down on Freeman's shoulder. He's still got some of the old god-police mojo left.]

You're kinda missing a huge chunk of heart, buddy.

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK?! [The Eye startled the Freeman!] What are you talking about?

[beat]

I'm talking to a bloody lizard. [Should not hang around or steal Dr. Magnusson's food. It has LSD.]

[appletosser.livejournal.com]

Damn good thing you are, too. Means you're not completely gone.

Now am I right in assuming you're feeling kind of like this huge important thing is missing and you can't figure out what it is?

[blkmsatraveller.livejournal.com]

...Are you a mind reader? The biology department would love to study you! [geeky smile!]

What do you mean "not completely gone"?

[appletosser.livejournal.com]

Sure they would. I'll explain what I meant in a few, but first you gotta bear with me for a little. We're gonna do some experiments of our own.

Now, I'm going to say a word, and I want you to say the first thing that pops into your head, without thinking about it. You get me? So here it is:

Chaos.

[blkmsatraveller.livejournal.com]

Eris.

[Stops] I mean, Theory.

What just happened?

[appletosser.livejournal.com]

Something bloody fantastic!

Now, tell me everything you know about Eris. Don't think, just do it.

[blkmsatraveller.livejournal.com]

She's the goddess of discord and strife. She's generally a nasty piece of work except to me. Her mother is Nyx and she's scary beyond all imagination. It is said that she tossed the Golden Apple and caused 99% of the Illiad out of spite. [slowly starts to remember]

She also likes when I play the piano. She has no lovers. She has way too many siblings...

[Meanwhile, Eris has arrived, dragging Hades along.]

Now, how do I find him?

[Eyball is bouncing around, excited.]

Keep goin' man, you're doing great!
