If we are going modern, then it will have to be a modern version of the KI world and not really analogous to Earth. You've got a few big cities, lots of smaller city-states, and humans have probably figured out electricity in some capacity, much to Phosphora's dismay. You could say that the gods were weakened after the end of KI:U because Hades was dead and people suddenly realized that he was the one that caused the War of the Wish Seed, and so they said "Screw this! The gods clearly don't have our best interests at heart if they let so many people die!" You could potentially have a lot of minor gods come into play when the humans start believing in something else, and even the Aurum might come back since they were lured by humanity's reliance on the sciences and technology.

I'm fine with anything, honestly ^^

I had thought that the KI world was just "past Earth but the gods are real"? Not that it really matters, since we'd be RPing in a made up place anyway. Technologically, I had been thinking it would be like current times–Internet, smartphones, cars, stuff like that all exist. I definitely like what you suggested for the reason why people stopped worshipping the gods, and I was actually intending to have more gods come into play like you said. The Aurum is definitely a good idea, especially since science and technology have advanced so much since then.

Guys?

Ye

I was kinda waiting for a response on that lol, but do you guys want me to start it now or do you want to keep discussing?

I think we can go ahead and start tbh. We can address other questions if they come up

It's your RP. You give us the starting gun and we go.

(Alright, let's do it! :D)

Kit paced around their room, occasionally glancing over at their two "rescues" worriedly. Good god, they had two random guys they found passed out in the park lying in their bed. How do you spell "well-meaning but objectively terrible decisions"? What was she going to tell her dad? Sure, it had been raining and Kit could have sworn they hadn't been there a minute ago but taking two strangers home was undoubtedly the worst possible thing to do in that scenario. There was no going back, though, so here they were.

A groan from one of the two caught Kit's attention and they whirled around. The brown-haired boy pushed himself up, yawned, and looked around. "Wha…?" His eyes locked onto the other boy sleeping next to him and he almost jumped out of the bed in surprise. "P-Pittoo?! Pittoo, wake up! What happened?" he exclaimed, shaking "Pittoo" in an attempt to rouse him.

(I'll just call him pittoo for convenience)
Pittoo groaned softly and winced a bit as he opened his eyes. "Ugh… what do you want, Pit…?" He asked, sounding annoyed. He sat up and rubbed his eyes with one hand, running the fingers of the other through his dark, disheveled hair. "Where the hell are we?" He asked. He glanced around, his gaze falling onto Kit. He froze for a second. "And who the hell are you?"

He got up out of bed, stumbling a bit when he did so. "Nngh… m'head's killing me… what's going on here?"

Pit looked like he wanted to object to Pittoo, but Kit shook their head. "It's fine, I'd probably be the same way. Uh, I'm Kit. This is my room. You guys were unconscious in the park, but it was raining so I brought you here. I hope that's alright…"

"Park…?" Pit looked confused. Then he winced. "Ow, yeah, now that you mention it…what's with this headache?"

"I can get you some Tylenol, if you need it. Or just water," Kit offered.

"What's a Tylenol?"

Pittoo looked equally bewildered. "Yeah, what's a Tylenol? And how did you get both of us here?" He asked. He sat back down on the bed and sighed, rubbing his temples with his fingers. "I feel like I've been thoroughly pummeled, honestly… do you remember anything, Pit?" He asked. "Because I'm completely clueless."

(Ahh, sorry! Had to eat.)

That question caught Kit a little off guard. "It's…a pain reliever. And I just drove you guys here, you weren't that far from my car…" They trailed off when Pit(and presumably Pittoo) looked at them like they'd grown an extra head or something. "What? Come on, there's no way you don't know what a car is."

"I don't, but…" Pit narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brow, concentrating. "I remember…lots of darkness, I think? Then…a red flash…nngh, it hurts to try and remember. I think that's it." He scratched the back of his head. "But what the heck does it mean?"

(Np <3)
Pittoo shook his head and shrugged. "I mean, I've got a couple ideas, but… none of them are good. Or, uh… super likely, but it's also not likely that we'd be in this situation to begin with. Anything goes, at this point. Do you think your Lady Palutena knows where we are?" He asked Pit. "Probably not, or she'd have tried to get us back by now… you at least, right? You're like her own son or something, honestly."

Pit nodded, a worried expression on his face. "Yeah–wait a second. Pittoo, your wings are missing!" he exclaimed, realizing it for the first time. He reached back to where his own wings should have been. "What the–mine are gone too?!"

Kit, extremely confused, butted in. "I'm sorry, what? Wings? And did you mention Palutena, like…the goddess that's been super obscure for thousands of years? Are you sure you two didn't hit your heads or something, because this sounds absolutely insane."

"What–no, we're not crazy! We're angels, and we–well, I serve Lady Palutena, the Goddess of Light!" Pit exclaimed indignantly.

Pittoo glanced over his shoulder when Pit mentioned the absence of his wings, a bit of worry mingling with his scowl. He looked back up at Kit when they started speaking again. "While we likely hit our heads, I for one am not crazy. This dimwit can't tell anything but the truth." He rapped his knuckles a couple times on the side of Pit's skull. "He's not lying to you. Not sure where our wings went, though… I mean, it's not like they were doing us too much good to begin with, but still concerning."

(Made a meme because I like to waste time I guess lmao https://kapwi.ng/c/BBPkpnYy)

Pit jerked away from Pittoo. "Hey!" he shouted, then crossed his arms. "Being honest isn't a bad thing, Pittoo," he grumbled. Kit's look of shock and disbelief turned into one of concern.

"So you're…" they blinked a couple of times, trying to process this. I guess that explains how they just appeared, and their weird clothes, but… Kit rubbed their temples. This was giving them a headache. "…ah. Sorry, this whole thing's just a lot to take in. So you're not lying or playing some kind of prank?"

"Nope," Pit replied.

(Lmao)
"While some forms of practical jokes would be considered my thing, I don't find this particularly funny." Pittoo crossed his arms and rolled his eyes a bit. "Also, I can't exactly just make my wings disappear. I suppose Palutena could, but that doesn't sound like something she'd do." He sighed. "Although, Pit, you do know her better than I do. Would she do something like this just for the shits and giggles?"

Pit shook his head. "I don't think so. Besides, something feels wrong. Lady Palutena wouldn't wipe our memories, that's for sure, so something else has to be going on." He paused for a moment, then looked at Kit. "Kit?"

"Yeah?"

"Were we wearing laurel crowns when you found us? Gold and silver?"

Kit's eyes widened. Shit, they totally forgot about that. "Yeah, actually, you were. I took them off because they looked pretty fragile and I figured you guys wouldn't want them to get bent out of shape. Hang on a sec…" they took the lid off of a tub nearby, grabbed the two wreaths and handed them to Pit and Pittoo. "These were also near you guys, so I'm assuming they're yours?" they asked, taking out two odd-looking gold and silver objects.

"Our bows!" Pit exclaimed, grabbing his. He put his laurel crown on. "Lady Palutena? …Lady Palutena?" he asked a couple of times before getting an answer.(Kit can't hear anything Palutena says, but I'm gonna type it out because I'm assuming Pittoo puts his on too)

"Pit? Pit, oh my goodness!"

"Lady Palutena! Are you okay? Where are you?" Pit asked, a little frantic.

"…I'm alive. What happened to you and Pittoo?"

"This human found us, and she says we were in a park? And we lost our wings! Lady Palutena, what happened?" Pit explained, following it up with a question. Kit wanted to correct him, but held themself back–they certainly looked pretty feminine, and though they had no idea what was going on, it was probably more important than a little misgendering.'

"Dang it."

"Lady Palutena?"

Pittoo put on his laurel as soon as it was returned to him and listened to the conversation for a bit. "What do you mean you're 'alive'? You're a literal goddess. Where the hell are you?" He asked, clearly annoyed. "And do you have any clue what's going on here? Because being flung down to earth isn't particularly pleasant, you know." He started pacing the room, twirling his bow between his fingers as he spoke. "Who could have done this, anyways? I figured you had the capability, but Pit says you wouldn't have."

"So you don't know what happened?"

Pit shook his head. "I remembered darkness and a red flash, but that's it. Lady Palutena, what's happening?"

Palutena took a deep breath. "I don't have much time before the guards come back–"

"Guards?!"

"Yes, Pit, guards. Hades came after me. You did all you could, but in the end he cursed you both and I was captured. He's trying to–" Palutena was abruptly cut off by a deep laugh.

"Ah, ah, ah~ Can't have you spoiling everything now, can I, Pretty Palutena?"

"Hades." Pit said the name like it was something venomous. "Let Lady Palutena go!"

"Why hello, Pitty-Pat," Hades purred, "is the Goth there as well? Tell me, how is Earth treating you? Horribly, I'd hope."

Pittoo growled when Hades decided to make an appearance. "Piss off. Why are you doing this, anyways?" He stopped his pacing and found himself standing next to Pit. He hated having to hear Hades voice again. He'd already been dealt with once, so why was he back? "And how did you…?"

Pittoo sighed and resumed his pacing, seeming worried and thoroughly annoyed. "As far as you're concerned, Hades, earth is perfectly pleasant. You don't get the pleasure."

Hades laughed. "Now why would I tell you my plans, hm? That's not fun at all."

"Nothing about this is fun in the first place!" Pit yelled. "It doesn't matter what you're planning, we'll stop you like we did before!"

"I wouldn't be so sure, Pitty. See, unlike your attitude, some things have changed over time. And you're all alone on Earth. Oh, would you look at the time! Sorry, boys, I'd love to chat, but I've got a very important meeting that I just can't miss. And don't expect to be talking to Palutena anymore, that problem's been sorted out."

"What?! What did you do to Lady Palutena?!" Pit clenched his fists. "I swear, if you hurt her–"

"Oh, don't get your toga in a bunch. Not a flattering look, you know. She'll be fine. Now, toodleoo~"

Pit took a couple of deep breaths and sat back down on the bed. Kit, who had been standing by worriedly, tentatively approached him. "Are you okay?" they asked.

"I–yeah, I'll be fine. It's just that…" Pit looked at his bow, the anger in his face subsiding into worry and sadness. "I'm supposed to protect her, and I failed. This isn't even the first time…And who knows what Hades is planning?" He took another deep breath. "No point in sitting around and feeling sorry about it, though, right?" He stood up, and though he smiled, it didn't quite reach his eyes. "We have to keep going!"

Kit backed off for a moment. "That was quick," they commented, a little surprised at how fast Pit recovered from that.

Pittoo was still incredibly pissed. "Yeah, he does that. Never sad for long." He sighed and leaned against the wall, shaking his head a bit. Can't help but be a bit jealous sometimes… "Either way, we can't stick around and mope. While brooding is rather like me, it's not very helpful to getting us off this stupid planet." He glanced around the room. "Although, getting off this stupid planet seems like it's going to prove rather difficult…" He looked up at Kit. "You! Uh, whatever your name is. What's the car thing you were talking about?" He asked. "Can it get us out of here?"

"It's Kit, and a car's a vehicle, which is just something humans use to get around faster," Kit explained, trying not to sound too awkward. "If by out of here, you mean off of Earth, then no." A ding sounded from their pocket. "Ah, hang on," they said, pulling their phone out. One of their friends, Ruby, had texted them. 'hey u ok? ur bein super quiet'. Kit texted her back: 'Yeah im fine just reading'. They didn't like lying–and were absolutely terrible at it–but what were they supposed to say? 'Don't worry, just vibing with a couple of guys I found passed out in the park'? They thought not.

"What was that?" Pit asked.

"Huh? Oh, it's a phone. They're really high-tech and I don't really understand the details of how they work. Electricity, I guess?"
