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?"

Pittoo eyed the phone warily, clearly suspicious. "Can that get us off of earth?" He asked. "Or is it a type of weapon?" He kept his gaze transfixed on it in the case that it was the latter. An armed human was always bad news in his mind. Humans tended to destroy things they didn't understand, and clearly Kit and the fallen angels weren't quite on the same wavelength.

He continued fidgeting with his bow as he sighed, struggling to take in the new information and situation. It really was quite a bit more than he was prepared to fathom today.

(Oops I did it again https://kapwi.ng/c/lMPXpdPP)

"What? No, it's for talking to people, mostly. If the other person also has a phone. Not a weapon or for traveling." Kit lifted a brow. "You okay? You look like you're expecting something to jump out of it or something?"

(Lmao)
"For all I know, something might!" Pittoo huffed indignantly and crossed his arms. "I've seen some weird shit, you know. Something jumping out of there would not be the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me. Hell, it wouldn't even be the weirdest thing I've experienced today!"

(Ahhh sorry I kind of realized that I didn't know what to do to move forward, then I had an idea, then I got busy, and then I completely lost motivation for a while. SO so so sorry but I'm back and ready to continue, even if it's not great lmao)

Kit paused for a moment. "Shit, yeah. Sorry. Nothing will, though." Another ding and Kit frowned. Their phone was usually pretty quiet, since they had notifications for most of their apps turned off. Another message, this one from her dad, had been received. It was a link to an article, but another message soon followed it. 'You need to read this. Don't worry, your mom is okay. Service got knocked out where she's at, though, but she's alright,' he'd said. "The hell…?" Kit wondered, tapping the link. Freak Storms Wreak Destruction on Australian Beaches–Meteorologists Left Baffled. Their expression grew more and more worried as they read on. "Oh my god oh my god oh my god, what the fuck…" they muttered.

"Is something wrong?" Pit asked. Kit sighed and sent a quick 'Glad she's ok, thanks' back to her dad before responding.

"Yeah–apparently there were these storms out of nowhere out in Australia. Normally, some people–meteorologists, or people who really understand weather–can predict them and warn people if they're going to be dangerous. But these were completely out of the blue, and a lot of people got hurt. I'm just glad my mom's okay… Jeez–why is all this weird stuff happening all at once?" A part of them wondered if they were connected, but Kit dismissed that pretty quickly. Hades was the god of death, not the god of crazy sudden storms, right?

(No problem lol)
"Hmm…" Pittoo started pacing again, thinking. The same thing had come to his mind, and honestly, he wouldn't put it past Hades to try and cause chaos like this on earth. However, he couldn't know for sure… Does Hades even have control over that kind of thing? He wondered. "This is quite the shitstorm, isn't it?" He sighed and leaned against the nearest wall. "I wish we could contact Palutena to see if she knows what's going on… apparently that's not an option anymore, though. Pit, are there any ways we can contact Palutena other than through the laurels?" He asked, turning to Pit.

Pit shook his head. "No. Not that I know of, at least. Wait!" He looked at Kit hopefully. "Do you think we could use your phone to talk to her?" he asked. Kit let out an amused huff.

"Unfortunately, no. Only works if the person you're trying to call or text has a phone too," they replied.

"Darn it."

"Does Palutena have a phone? I mean, she's a goddess and all, so she could probably make one, right?" Pittoo asked Pit. Whatever hope he'd had was quickly vanishing. "How the hell are we supposed to get out of here?! We can't fly, we can't get in contact with the one person who can actually help us, we can't do anything!"

(Had to think about that one lmao)

Pit tilted his head to the side thoughtfully. "She could probably make one," he answered, though the fallen angel looked uncertain. Kit knew they were probably grasping at straws but also knew that there was a lot that wouldn't work with that.

"Yeah, but how would she know to–" they were cut off by their phone ringing. They let out an annoyed sigh–why did everyone need to call them right now, exactly?–but their expression turned to confusion very soon. "There's no number…?" Kit opted to answer it. "Hello? Who's this?"

"I'm Palutena, the Goddess of Light."

"What–How did you–Huh?" What the fuck?! HOW the fuck?!

"That's not important. Pit, Pittoo–"

"Uh, hang on, they can't hear you." Kit put the goddess on speaker. "There you go."

"Thank you. Pit, Pittoo, Hades put up a block between myself and your wreaths. I can still hear and sense you, but I can't speak to you through them. This human…phone will have to do for now, but if the guards see me using it, they'll likely take that as well."

"I'm glad we can talk now, but what are we gonna do, Lady Palutena? Pittoo's right, we can't do anything from here," Pit said, untwisting and re-twisting the two blades of his bow.

"I was able to get a message out to Viridi, since she's helped us in the past and despite her, um, disposition towards humans, I don't believe she would work with Hades," Palutena replied.

(Also fun fact I did laundry and discovered that I have a LOT of clothes that I could see the Pits wearing, expect pics and/or art at some point)

(Ooo I'm excited ^^)
Pittoo eyed the phone warily, but made sure to pay attention to what Palutena was saying. As much as he hated taking orders, this could be important. And though he wouldn't admit it, he was completely helpless in this situation.

"So what are we supposed to do? Just… wait here until Viridi decides to join the 'Pitty' party?" Pittoo asked, his tone bitter and seething. "Surely there's something we can do? I mean, we don't even know what the hell the exact problem is. We just know we're stuck in this shit hole and that you can only talk to his through this stupid thing. You're forgetting that we don't actually really remember what happened."
