That reference though 
Apollo is forever bitter and in fact one of his best-known songs is supposed to be called Hyacinth. Going to put it out here for those who don't frequent the Discord channel: To move things along faster, we've decided to do the reveal on either Friday or Sunday (in case no one figures it out). @ Everyone: Would you guys rather we post the reveal sooner or later? Things will most likely be more fast-paced and action-oriented from then on.
Other than that, if you have any theories about the vision and would like to run it by us first, feel free to discuss them here, on Discord, or by PM-ing any of the GMs. We're definitely not opposed to giving hints.
For everyone's reference, here's a list of IC-known clues so far:
- Athena -- Book (Apollo has an idea what this might be about; in fact, he might even bring it up in his next post)
- Khione -- Necklace
- Hephaestus -- Staff (Apollo linked 3&4 because both had a cross motif)
- Takemikazuchi -- Umbrella (No idea, though he still did react to Kat's comic in a telling way)
- Lugh -- Ring (Also no idea)
- Forseti -- IC, Forseti hasn't identified anything as of yet
- Iris -- Just posted, will probably confuse Apollo
- Morpheus -- Throne
- Shiva -- White Kippa, turned into a Crown
- Yama -- Silver Mallet; also mentioned Two bound keys and a crown (Apollo linked 9&10 together because of the crown motif. Also thinks his original vision is connected to what Yama saw.)
- Apollo -- None, but noted significance of SPQR (can either refer to the city of Rome or the Roman Empire) clock earlier in the vision.

@AnimeGenork That reference though
Haha I knew I'd have to bring it up sooner or later since Iris is married to Zephyrus and all XD
I am fine with either! If anything, do it later so I can have the suspense build up XD

It is Mr Ibis, from the tv adaptation of American Gods, honestly, I've had a character for Thoth written up for a long time and that is exactly how I pictured him.
Who's Isra's face claim?
It was driving me nuts

Iris' lollipops were key in figuring out the mystery.

It was more of a textbook knowledge thing anyway. Your character is awesome XD That's more important.

Sometimes I figure things out, like the murderer in a Sara Shepard series or the next character to die
Other times I eat lollipops XD

So for those who don't frequent the Discord, we're currently waiting on Omen to post but, regardless, the plot will be moving on tomorrow.

Probably a stupid question but sometimes I fail to remember things/connect terms.
By "observer," we're talking the entity that took the form of Hermes in the visions, right?
Or am I wrong?

Nah, not a stupid question at all. By "observer" I mean the form Apollo took during the initial vision that kicked everything off. He was in a different body (the pope) talking to Hermes.

Yup!
Also Yama is Perry the Platypus!

QUICK RECAP/ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW SO FAR:
They now know that the pope (Pope Clement) is in danger. If he dies, many others will follow. The gods are ordered to board the plane to Rome/Vatican ASAP. ETA is 02.00 local time, while the murder supposedly takes place at 03.00. You may start your post as your character is boarding the plane OR while already mid-flight.
RE: Morpheus/Eli, assume he's AWOL (same as Yama).
RE: Shiva, he's not coming. He probably did wave his children goodbye at the airfield though.
Some additional information, if you need them: They are boarding a modified/upgraded Cessna Citation X, which is a long-range/mid-sized civilian aircraft. It has a 12 passenger capacity, so there's just enough space for everyone to settle in. Our pilots are INTERPOL agent/US Navy Lieutenant Sarah Sabroe, and Some Other Government Guy (feel free to make up stuff about them).
If you need more interactions, Apollo is currently providing in-flight music. Jazzy, instrumental stuff, like his own rendition of Fly Me to the Moon. He has been sulking about having to actually come along, and this is his own way of calming his nerves.

Since Iris is perfectly capable of going ahead, you could definitely have her skip forward to the Vatican from then on (in which case we'll be giving you a different scenario *winkwink*), but it's also perfectly understandable if she wishes to stay with the rest of the group. If the former, there will probably be INTERPOL/Swiss Guard representatives ready to assist her ... though they may not be exactly aware of the WPC situation, so tread lightly! 
Lexielai
Likewise! Remember Swiss Guard is on high alert, but I'm sure Yama will just do what he has to do anyway.

So not showing up in front of them with full-blown wings?
Got it.

I should have made it more clear: Antihero told me to post on the jet already, heading to Rome, so that's where Thoth is rn (and I assume Apollo too?

then, suppose my post should have come before yours cuz otherwise that scene was completely left hanging and thrown away which doesn't leave a pleasant feeling. this is the bad side of hurrying the plot so much (no offence to the gms of course, just my opinion)Sorry

You could always just put an addition to your post, making the time skip. It's not that bad.
