It seemed fairly dumb to start the story off right when Athena just was starting to get her credentials checked. After all, that just involves some paperwork, probably an NPC or some character of a really, really busy roleplayer who just cannot get to it. No matter. That was never the point. So, it was better that the story of Athena begins after she got her credentials checked and she could enter the island.
A few questions were posed to all she met (and quite frankly, the NPC who did the security check was still not over the ulcer that his confusion that the question(s) caused. Oh, well, who cares? He wasn't smart enough to understand. NPCs in general aren't that smart unless if they are an antagonist/important supporting character for a subplot so it's all OK!): What's that idiot's name? Why did she come here during a freaking war!?
Those questions will be solved...eventually, because the roleplayer wishes to start with another question. But no one ought to worry. Really. After all, the roleplayer just wants to continue on without anyone complaining.
The question that was begun with was simple: How did she get through the security check and all of that? Simple. Athena simply handed in her paperwork, signed some stuff, went through the metal detector, etc. like a normal person. Then, she got some tourist's guides and all of that, because in order to get around, one needs to have a map of the unfamiliar area.
Strangely enough, and very out of character, Athena didn't waste her time planning everything out. After all, there was war going on: one didn't schedule everything as they would for a vacation; they relied on quick wits. The reader should honestly research how Lincoln got through the Civil War; even this shabby little nutcase of a roleplayer infers something as almost intellectual as that.
Again, not the point. If Athena knew she was being controlled by this almost illiterate poster, she would be very pissed to hear how off topic her roleplayer was because:
1) Athena just got through all of the boring parts of the credentials and:
a. there isn't much she knows about the freaking place,
b. but she only knows there is a war going on,
c. and that was why she was sent there by her fickle father Lord Zeus never bothers to explain anything.
2) Secondly, now the Greek goddess had to carry a ton of luggage (mostly extra weapons, clothes, and office/classroom supplies), and find her way across the land all the while being:
a. very lost with only one little piece of paper to help her if, and only if, it provides good information-
i: unfortunately, everything on the brochure was useless junk,
b) in the middle of the war while she was probably half-way in between the war zone and the safety zone
i: when, she, in fact, was supposed to be in the safe zone teaching for some reason or passively helping out in the war
ii: because no one trusted her.
Athena, for a wisdom goddess, really got herself in a pickle sometimes, including this time. But she was an adult, a mature one, and she knew what she ought to do: get help from a person who knows around these areas.
The NPCs were as useless as ever (they might even be worst than the brochure), so she had to ask someone where to go but who? Who was the kind, friendlyidiot, psychopath, conman Good Samaritan to make it alright?
Who didn't look like they'd flip the bird at her even when she just came nearby? Who would be smart enough to answer well?
If she wanted to get somewhere, those were the questions she needed to use to evaluate the possible candidates for a good (and cheap) tour guide in the safety zone of a fairy-tale army.
> Athena: Go and find someone, anyone, who isn't suspicious-looking to help you find your way. Ask them questions and whatnot without scaring them off.
