Episode IV: A New Hope (in a jar) - part 1

Quick update: I'm exhausted so excuse the brevity. Eternal youth does not come with eternal energy, sad to note. I dropped Hera back in Seattle. Hades is near-recovered and awaiting news on our escapees, and Artemis vanished shortly after we discovered all those footprints.

I arrived in New Hope, PA this morning. I am quite concerned so I wanted to give you guys an update. On a hunch, I stopped to check on Pandora. Her pottery shop is closed and looking in a window it looks like a small tornado went off in there (that is an analogy, not literal, people. I don't think, anyways). All her jars are smashed to bits. There's a note saying it's closed. I've been asking around town to see what's up but no news yet. I'll scope out her apartment after dark.

If there was ever a more likely candidate to have released all the immortal things that go bump in the night... And Epimetheus was her husband, remember. Maybe that's too literal. I hope it's too literal. As far as I know she, like Dionysus, has only longevity, not immortality, and I'd hate to... well, you know the rest.
