Gods did not regularly get punished.
Ollie did not regularly get punished
When the god of love nearly caused the world to end due to their lack of an attention-span, they got a simple slap on the wrist and some new gods to help them in their efforts. When the god of the stars nearly caused a world-wide blackout because they got a bit too frustrated one day, they were just given a quick pep-talk and told to get back on their feet. Beings of power made mistakes all of the time. After all, they were only immortals.
In fact, usually gods with more power tended to get a lighter punishment. Perhaps that was due to the fact the more powerful deities were in charge of the punishments, but even then Ollie had not gotten punished when hardly anyone knew her name. Sure she had been born in 3,000 B.C, but that did not mean she had much of a prominent role in the world until recently. All her resource was used for was slathering Babylonian boats for quite some time, but now everyone knew her name. Everyone knew she was powerful. Capitalists adored her- they would come to her shrine begging for riches every time. The powerful deities adored her. Ever since 1859 hit, she was practically treated as one of them. And to be candid, it felt amazing to finally be getting the recognition she hoped she deserved. It felt as if she was finally making strides in her life to become efficient like everyone else.
So why, oh why did an argument with the bug goddess send her back to step one.
It started off as aimless bickering when the two happened to cross paths. Little remarks that made it clear there was a distaste for the other, but nothing more. It was not until it slowly graduated- Ollie SWORE she started it, that it became clear that there was no way they would ever be getting along any time soon. The final straw was when Ollie claimed that souls were producing more energy than ever before because of oil. Was it true? She never bothered to check. This angered the bug goddess- which Ollie had no idea why. It was just facts that she made up! Eventually her anger may have caused her to make one little oil spill near some fragile forest, but it was not that bad. Everyone could use a bit of oil in their life!
The high deities begged to differ.
Their punishment for arguing? Sent down to Earth to figure out what was really happening to the lack of soul power.
While Ollie had assumed it would be a simple in and out, she was hastily proven contrary when she found out they had to have a little place to live for their time there. It would be over twenty-four hours, which is something Ollie was uncertain she could stand. More than two minutes with the bug goddess were unbearable. Not only that, it was going to be an apartment. A two room apartment for that matter. The only reason she did not complain about it being more luxurious was the fear the deities would strike it down to a one room apartment due to it.
And that was how she arrived where she was- wearing reflective colored sunglasses that she could barely see through to protect her entirely black eyes from being seen by people and laying right on the ground. She let out a small groan as she pushed her now black, solid hair out of her face. It used to be far more drippy- always leaving a trail of where she used to be. Now it was greasy, solid. She despised it. She had only been in 'Chicago' for a couple seconds and she already was frustrated by every moment of it. If spawning in an alleyway was not frustrating enough, she had to be there with Miss ever-so-perfect BUG goddess too. She desired to roll her eyes every time she saw her. Despite the fact she felt her blood boiling just at the thought of her existence and the miserable journey they were, something dawned upon her.
She had no idea where to go.
They had an apartment, but where was it?
She forced herself off the ground, brushing dirt off of her simple black dress while she was at it. She walked over to the corner of the alley and peaked out, only to instantly be overwhelmed by the loud noises of crowds and cars and feel the burn of a hot summer's sunshine. There was not a clue to go off of in her mind. Sure the gods probably told her where to go, but she did not have that kind of memory span. In fact, she was probably talking over them.
She hated to ask the bug girl for help, but what else was she to do? Nature had all sorts of dwindling paths, right? Maybe she would know what was going on or at least where to go. Sighing, she turned back to the 'bug girl', but still kept herself a fair distance away.
"Care to lead us to the apartment, Miss Bug?" she inquired, refusing to refer to her by her actual name.
She refused to make it seem like she did not know what she was doing. She refused to let Quinn get the upper-hand.
