the afterlife?” Sean questions.
“Not like that; I mean that I’ll have it so you and your family will be set up for the duration of your afterlife.” Jason explains and Sean thinks it over for a few moments.
“We are gonna throw the greatest Halloween party the Underworld has ever seen!” Sean exclaims.
I’m pleasantly surprised to find that he’s a pretty cool guy and quite a bit like the character he plays in Get Him to the Greek .
Roughly a week after I arrive, I run into an exhausted looking Hel. I expect her to scold me, but she never does.
“No more destroying pantheons and making districts disappear from the Underworld… it’s exhausting.” Is all Hel says as she passes by.
The rest of the week is rather uneventful and, m uch to my relief, I’m able to go the whole two weeks without dreaming, sleeping soundly through the nights with Cheza by my side.

[October 31st]
The obsidian walls of the rear courtyard make perfect screens for the projectors that are set up all over the place. Teams of workers are still setting up the massive sound system, alcohol, and various ‘party favors’ as a pair of snow elf ice sculptors set up what has to be the most elaborate ice luge I’ve ever seen; this thing looks like a damn Hot Wheels race track. I direct some deliverymen over to the bar area when I remember something.
“I still have some things that I need to get done; can you handle things here?” I ask Sean.
“No problem; you go do what you need to do, I’ve got it covered. Hey! The flaming pyramid goes over there, so why are you setting it up here?” Sean rhetorically asks a group of workers that are in the process of setting up the ten foot pyramid of goblets that are going to be filled with alcohol and set on fire until they spell a message to Reyna.
Confident that Sean can handle things, I head up the grand staircase to the second floor balcony and into the house. I walk down the hall and stop in front of Reyna’s bedroom door. I knock twice before opening it.
“DON’T COME IN!” All three girls scream.
“What? It’s not like I haven’t seen all of you naked!” I shout back.
“What do you want!?” Natasha asks, poking her head around the door .
“Don’t I need to go pick up Naia and Ryuji? I have no idea where I’m supposed to go.” I tell her.
“Oh… Ryuji said that they would wait in the Seattle office’s tech area so you’d have a familiar place to port to.” Natasha replies, somewhat abashed.
“Alright I’ll go pick them up and bring them back here. See you later.” I respond as Natasha closes the door.
I touch my Haglaz rune to port to the tech lab of TheAgency’s Seattle office. I see Ryuji sitting in an office chair nearby as Naia stands in front of him with her hands on his shoulders.
“You will be fine, ju st breathe; you still have about an hour until you meet them.” Naia tells a hyperventilating Ryuji. Naia is wearing a black halter top dress and Ryuji is wearing a tuxedo that appears to have been modified for his wings somehow.
“What’s wrong , Ryuji?” I ask.
“Oh hello, Cole. Ryuji is nervous about meeting Milady and my mother for the first time.” Naia answers.
“Don’t worry , man; you’ll be fine!” I tell Ryuji and his expression lifts.
“ Probably… Anyway, are you two ready to go?” I ask as Ryuji’s expression darkens.
Ryuji reluctantly grabs my arm with Naia and I port us all to Jason’s room.
“Hey guys! Whoa! What’s his problem?” Jason asks, gesturing to Ryuji’s sad state.
“He’s meeting both of his girlfriend’s mother figures tonight.” I tell him as Ryuji slumps onto the couch.
“Oh, come on! It can’t be that bad! I met my girlfriend’s mother a couple weeks ago and she’s the Queen of the Azeman! It wasn’t so bad…” Jason says.
“Dude, Naia’s ‘mothers’ are the Queen of the Jinn and Isis.” I inform him.
“Shit, seriously? Well… you might be fucked!” Jason exclaims.
“Not like that; I mean that I’ll have it so you and your family will be set up for the duration of your afterlife.” Jason explains and Sean thinks it over for a few moments.
