Title: Mt. Olympus Moves in Next Door
Post by: Chotii on November 20, 2022, 06:06:01
The Victorian Mansion has new neighbors, and they’re proving a challenge: The Olympians.

Bacchus arrived early and started making wine for the planned parties. The Norse gods showed up. I’m not sure they were invited.

All the gods have their own plinths.

The latecomers arrive, each with his or her own plinth.

Hephesteus can carry a plinth AND his anvil!

Ares didn’t even let loose the dog of war, and there was havoc!

Finally they get themselves organized.

I think the Norse gods are only behaving because there are two Zeuses, and Thor doesn’t have his hammer.

The party is getting pretty rowdy. The peacock better be careful or they’ll be serving him, roasted, for a main course.

I hate it when the neighbours invite pagan deities round!

Great storyline, Chotii!

I’m pretty sure if Thor had his hammer, that watermelon would already be gone, Gallagher style.

Brilliant! More please! Though could I ask for...slightly larger pictures? :prays:

Gallagher just passed away a short while ago, coincidentally :hammer: :watermelon:

I would love to post larger pictures!!! Only the smallest size, however, is under the 100KB per photo limit, so I have to post small or not post at all. Would love learning how to do better.

You can use a free image hosting service. imgur.com and postimages.org are two popular ones. (They have the added advantage that nonmembers can see the pictures; pics attached to your post are invisible to nonmembers!)

If it's not immediately apparent how to use those sites, please let us know and more detailed instruction will be provided with alacrity!

NICE! I am going to study them!

NB You used the "thumbnail for forums" link, that gives a small image that we can click through to the large image; if you use the "hotlink for forums" link they will show up fullsize in the post!

Great pictures. Seems pretty dangerous having that lot living next door, some of them have quite the reputation.

Thor is trying to fit in. He didn’t have a plinth, so…

Also there may be 3 Zeuses. That swan is looking suspicious to me.

They finally found a use for all those plinths!

Everybody rushes the feast table, ravenous after their long journey.

All except - is that FOUR Zeuses? That’s really too much. Apparently he hopes there is a woman living next door, while Hera is distracted by dinner.

Meanwhile, back in the Victoria Mansion, a serious house meeting is taking place.

(https://i.postimg.cc/RFgj6Vkg/00-ECBB85-F418-4369-A9-DF-4137-C307-FB6-C.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/7GTBjDYz)

They are setting guards against intrusions.

And throwing up barricades using wainscoting and furniture.

(https://i.postimg.cc/sf0k3x9X/B01-D207-A-567-C-4-A0-A-B6-B4-B22-C77459-B22.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/8sMKH1YQ)

They are also gathering all their valuables together just in case they have to evacuate quickly.

The residents of the Victorian Mansion are beginning to regret having invested in upgrading theur house.

Title: Re: Mt. Olympus Moves in Next Door
Post by: Chotii on December 04, 2022, 19:37:28
Next door…

There are tearful reunions

(https://i.postimg.cc/257pYx2R/D25-C5-DE5-B47-D-4-A36-8832-920803-BD6-A65.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/kVGYFK0f)

At least they seem to realize their father is a philanderer. If he is going to act like an animal, he can live with the animals.

Unbeknownst to the residents of the mansion, the Gods are already eying the property next door. In fact, they’re already starting to lay their claim.

(https://i.postimg.cc/XYFSHW5v/54-E11103-DB1-F-43-F0-BD7-C-9299719-A3353.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/Yvps0Jbc)

And laying in a KostKo quantity of Honey and Ambrosia. They are clearly in this for the long haul.

I sense a hostile takeover in the near future!!

It was a good thing the Gods took their plinths as carry-ons. The airline lost their suitcases and they only just arrived!!

Zeus is carrying out “reconnaissance”. That’s what the cool kids are calling it nowadays.

(https://i.postimg.cc/LhK0DWCQ/975-A68-D1-5781-4-FF7-9-D7-B-34606-BBC8-D90.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/BPpgQmG2)

It looks like someone else may be doing recon also. Is that Loki? Or just a pet that has escaped?

I expect a conflict between the Norse Gods and the Greek Gods soon. The Norse Gods are perfectly happy to eat all the food, but they are party crashers: Zeus saw that serpent in the house. How dare the Norse Gods think for a moment that Greek Gods need help with reconnaissance??

Uh oh. Zeus saw a serpent in the Mansion when he was doing reconnaissance. He confronts Loki about that, because who asked him to help anyway? Loki isn’t intimidated. After all, he grew up with Thor.

(https://i.postimg.cc/8cgx35VY/A552-EFFD-0-C7-F-4-F55-9255-E70-F54970-CA8.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/hzMCQKv8)

Meanwhile, Operation Airlift is reaching its conclusion. Here comes Pegasus with the siege tower they’ve been waiting for!

(https://i.postimg.cc/DyTKpCvz/4-C5-A6-E24-3-BAB-418-B-8-CD0-32-F9352-E53-A9.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/SjD5Jfz0)

The residents of the mansion are gearing up. They have two kinds of hellhounds, hammers, guns, and magic.

(https://i.postimg.cc/G3vWDkFn/7-C60-E81-F-E6-BD-4821-8-E82-6-C5-ADC5-F49-F0.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/dDtNPZN5)

And it turns out that serpent wasn’t Loki after all. It was a pet.  Zeus probably won’t apologize. He will probably turn into a serpent himself if it would give him a chance with the lady Naga though.

(https://i.postimg.cc/zvw41rzG/05-AAD6-E9-422-C-4-CB7-B072-F829-AD9-C5-EBE.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/K3z0nC36)

The Greek gods are definitely bringing their A Team - looks like Athena and Ares at the fore. (Don’t correct me if those names are Roman - the joke won’t work).

(https://i.postimg.cc/KvNCqxp9/D849-F432-708-B-4-E43-96-A3-E707-DEDB7-F0-C.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/2V1H3RDv)

But what’s this? Loki looks casually disinterested, but his son Sleipnir has found a way to sneak into the upper sunroom while the Gods above are rattling their spears! Thor thinks this is pretty dang funny.

While some man the battlements, the sorcerer studies hard to find the right spell to drive the intruders away.

(https://i.postimg.cc/JzmGJ7T7/4-D686-E8-B-603-B-46-E4-87-F6-DF7-AEFCB1304.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/QH48ZDGv)

It’s too late, though: Sleipnir has already found his way in. Having eight legs is less helpful going down the stairs than you might expect.

(https://i.postimg.cc/xCqQHBD1/61-D0269-C-92-BD-438-F-81-E9-DAE1854626-CE.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/2bpgNcSs)

He goes and inspects the pile of treasure on the unguarded ground floor.

(https://i.postimg.cc/SKSkQJg8/B1507-F5-A-582-B-47-A0-93-DB-66635-A313-A21.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/dhxz4tPt)

…and takes as much as he can carry. Including a miniature Loki helmet?? The *gall* of these mortals!

(https://i.postimg.cc/0Q3sCZPd/8240-FC1-F-82-C3-488-A-94-BC-7155-E1-C7-C464.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/cgQ2xRKr)

Meanwhile, the battle has begun on the upstairs patio.  Ares has let slip the dog of war!  The hellhound meets him, fang to fang!!

(https://i.postimg.cc/5jWWh0HX/F8-AFABB7-53-E3-4-AE1-9586-1-ED95-F95-F9-BC.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/bSg5bq9P)

But the poor wolfman and zombie pirate are already down. The Hound of War leaps in through the third story window.

One of the housemates’ dogs has taken refuge under the covers.

(https://i.postimg.cc/65C8y4f1/C8-A6-EE02-95-A8-4-C45-B4-A9-9-A41486-DD17-D.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/WhbNy3KM)

Unseen by anyone, Loki has already claimed the attic in the name of Himself. He’s that kind of guy. Possession is 9/10 of the law.
