Angela was looking around at the three men, somewhat amused. "Why?" she asked Zen curiously. "He seems like a reasonably nice fellow despite blowing our cover which I'm really not entirely sure was very convincing anyway. Oh. And threatening to kill you. That was a bit rude."
She looked at Ares. "We can go if you like. I was supposed to be getting a shirt for Xipilli because he was running around half naked--something about some goddess or other wanting him to cross dress for a ritual. But at any rate he doesn't seem to be with them anymore so I guess that doesn't matter. But you never answered my question. Why do you need this opal anyway? What's it for?"

Ares regarded Zen for a few moments before laughing. "You are one funny man, you know that?" he told him, and couldn't help but grin. Before he could say another word, Riddic decided to interrupt.
"I believe it's going to magnify your powers, right?" he asked, watching Ares. "Or rather, you want it so it will not do as such to the other Gods and Goddesses."
Ares turned back to face him. "Precisely. Now, ladies first," he said to Angela, gesturing towards the floating picture. "Merely walk through, it won't hurt."

"I don't like him" Zen declared, back to being silly. "And I've been told I am quite funny... once or twice..."

"Other gods and goddesses?" Angela asked, glancing at Ares. "Is this to imply that you're a power--a 'god' yourself then?" Well, she supposed that made sense. He was rather odd.
How did she always end up getting involved with these people? That damn father of hers! This is probably why he sent her in the first place. She sighed and wished he'd tell her these sorts of things before she arrived in weird worlds and got involved in weird goings on there.
"Well, it's a bit odd having the conversation this way anyhow." She looked at the portal...thing. She'd seen far odder means of transport than that so she merely gave a shrug and stepped through lithely. Hopefully it wasn't too weird and she didn't fall on her face.

"No one likes me," he pointed out to Zen. "That's why this whole damned planet wants me dead. Besides Riddic, of course." Ares watched as Angela stepped through and went through after her, it disappearing as soon as he did. It felt much like stepping through a thick liquid, but other than that there were no abnormalities.
As soon as Ares stepped through, he marched straight up to Riddic, took the opal from his pocket, and slipped it around his neck, proceeding to leave through a second circle, though this time, the image was completely black.
Riddic rushed after him. "You cannot just leave!" he yelled after him. "There are things we have to disuss!"

"Aw," Angela said, watching him go. "I don't want him dead. Though I'm not sure I count really. I actually liked him a bit too. He was interesting."
She watched Riddic rush toward the black circle. "I wonder where that leads," she said casually. She looked at Zen. "I can't believe I didn't find out anything worthwhile. That entire episode just left me with more questions. On top of that, Ares blew our cover so now we're going to look rather suspicious, don't you think?"

"ugh.. yeah." Zen nodded sarcastically, knowing he was pretty much a terrorist for all Riddic knew.
"And all I saw was that guy's hand... it was weird looking!" Zen told Angela telepathically, "it was all black and dead except for this ruby. I didn't poke the ruby though, he kind of got mad."
Zen wanted to throw a rock at Ares, he reminded him of a guy he once met from another rp.

As soon as Riddic reached the circular image, it disappeared, which, apparently, made him even madder. He sighed and buried his face in his good hand, shaking his head.
Hearing what both Zen and Angela said, he glared at Zen, then glared at Angela next. "Of course both of you look suspicious. Ares would not have simply warned you if he thought he would actually stand a chance against either of you. Exactly who ARE you, and what are you doing here?"

"He didn't warn or threaten me," Angela said, looking around nervously. "I was actually helping him look for that opal. So perhaps he just didn't kill or threaten me merely because he liked me and he didn't wish to." That sounded so incredibly lame.
There was absolutely no way to save this situation was there? Zen just had this wonderful way of making friends with people wherever he went. She sighed.
Xipilli also had a stone in his arm--and he said it was due to being avatar for that goddess. He was a bejeweled, he said. Does this mean Riddic is a bejeweled as well? she said telepathically to Zen.
She suspected Ares of being a power and since he and Riddic knew one another, she wondered if Riddic was Ares' little avatar thingie since he had that jewel in his hand.

I'd assume so, whatever that means. I might end up resorting to kiddnaping at this rate... He told Angela over their link.
"Do you really want to know? My name has a curse upon it, to speak it aloud would only bring trouble." Zensekai shrugged, not sure how much he should lie or hide at this point.

Riddic stomped his foot down at Zen. "I have been trying to get you to tell me your name all night! Fortunately, Angela here let it slip a while back," he huffed. "This world is already in trouble, what more could you possibly bring to it?"

"All the people who want me dead or in their tummys mostly." Zen thought, knowing crap always went wrong that he couldn't guess.
"How about I tell you who I am if you tell me how you recovered so fast?"

"I didn't come to bring trouble to this world Riddic," Angela told him gently. "I was sent by someone else but I can assure you that if anything I was sent merely to observe or to help. My father has a tendency not to tell me what I'm supposed to do when he sends me somewhere but I'm not here to make things worse. I promise."
Great. Somehow I always get involved in this sort of thing. How is that Zen? She paused a moment. By the way. I've been wondering this for a while now but...why did you tell him I was your wife anyway?

Riddic watched Zen warily, obvious in his eyes that he didn't trust him. Angela, either, despite the fact that she was trying to reassure him. He took a step back, then suddenly turned and bolted, heading straight back into the castle, without a word. Riddic couldn't help but be paranoid at the moment. The position he was in, wasn't a very good one. At least, not in the world's eyes. That's why... it had to be kept a secret. At all costs.

Angela shot Zen an annoyed look and then hurried after Riddic, trying to run in ballroom attire without falling on her face. She finally managed to wrestle her gown up to the knees so she wouldn't trip and then just focused on not breaking an ankle from running in heels.
"Riddic!" Angela called. "Er...Your highness! Wait!"
