I have a sneaking suspicion that doing anything with the Elfways right now is a bad idea. Remember:

Loel posted:

our friend from Agatha’s World loves elves.

Let's go mix our legends and cleanse the hydra Gorgon with fire, then harness all that delicious free-floating psychic energy to blow the webways to loving shreds. Then we pull the baby god from the wreckage and put a void bullet in its skull.

We could use the Abrogate souls as homing beacons. They're slippery and gets stuck inside of everything, including gorgon.
Take a play from Anna's book with the box that smells like souls but is really just a bomb. In this case its a soul powered void bomb.
Have that tasty box make its way through the webways towards Oneoh's worlds or the heart of Acheron.
Maybe we could even bait ol'Slanny and have Gorgon and the Prince of Pleasure collide with the box like two halves of a nuke.

Contrived maybe, but Ohone's strength lies not in massive fleets or territory. Her power lies in making an absolute mess of everything at the exact wrong spot.


Ask Anna to summon an avatar of her Patron to discuss a deal on how to bait out slaneesh. Trade is the prince's domain after it is deposed

"For the Emperor."

There was a terrible noise.
There was a terrible silence.



Basically, watch Groundhog Day, and then watch Looper :D You keep going back in time to restart things, and you remember things, but the ending/beginning is always the same. Ohone and Fabiyan, circling circling ...

Django Jane

You could only stare at her wordlessly.

Anna angrily wiped at her face. “Never mind. We need to get going soon.”
You blinked. “This is Hades, I thought no one could find us here.”
“Us, yes. The Beast, we need to get moving.”
“Why? We killed the Acheronic fleet, and then your … public event.”
“And such a fine job, too. Nonetheless, we should be leaving soon.”

You narrowed your eyes. “Why.”
“Just trust me, all right?” She was looking elsewhere, distracted.
“That has to be the stupidest thing you’ve ever said to me.”
She blinked, ran the words back. Barked a laugh. “Fair enough. But you’ve got a pretty good bind on me, and I would rather be out of here before Sol wakes up.”

You looked at her curiously. “What even is in there?”
“Never gotten close enough to find out. But when I see a mountain get up and start moving, I decide to leave.”
You nodded. “Your biggest failure, in my opinion. You gotta jump at that mountain. And challenge it to a fight.”
She stared at you.

You nodded again, more firmly. “Just walk right up to it. Punch it in the face.”

Can't do it. Throwing any form of attack at it in thd physical realm will only feed it. Gamma Ray Burst? A light snack. Collide it with another black hole? They Fusion Dance into a doubly badass black hole.

We're gonna have to murder Baby Whatsit with Acheron stuff.

Singularity is unreality already. Better bet would be to set up some massive grav emitters and try to un-blackhole it. Pull it apart and disperse the matter.

Punch reality in the face

You cocked your head. “Don’t think, however, that you’ve distracted me fully with this new and interesting thing. You brought it up right as we got to the interesting questions of who you are, and we’re coming back to it.”
A ghost of a smile flickered across her face. “Of course.”
“Now then. Drive me closer so I can hit it with my sword.”

“Can’t say I know what sword you’d use on it, sister. It’s a time-accelerated black hole born in the death of a trillion souls.”
You pursed your lips. “It’s a thing the Commissars say … never mind. Probably a few years since you heard Fabiyan say it.”
Anna paused. “That was rude.”
“Good, we’ve reestablished who is in charge. And I want to investigate this thing.”

She gave a small shrug. “I am compelled to obey. Traditional approaches to get closer would be using Loki or Hera to teleport closer, my Acheronic powers, or an actual ship such as the Beast or Olympus. The Beast will take months, and Loki and Hera refused last time I checked. As for myself … I would prefer not to.”
“Be calling yourself a scrivener next. No, I might have you come along.”
“Anyone else you want to bring on this highly probably ride to death? Or will it be just us girls?”

Think about it this way: stealing some nukes? Any dime-a-dozen megalomaniac can swing that one. Grabbing a hive? Maybe takes a little bit of vision. Nabbing the Lord-Sire, Inquisitor, and Magos titles? Pretty impressive. But how many self-made mad tyrants can claim to have stolen a god? Much less a god that they created?

According to Anna, timespace is our bitch and keeps going in circles for us. We'll respawn in an alternate universe or some bullshit at a checkpoint if poo poo goes wrong.

All joking aside, we totally are this thing's momma. We blew up the Earth and then turned Sol into a singularity. It exists as a direct result of our actions. Let's go give it a hug. Saturn looks like it would make a good rattle, and we can mine the oort cloud for binky material.
