Firstly everyone really needs some modern names and I’m open to suggestions! (but they have to start with the original letter of their myth names) but for now I will just use myth names…

So Orpheus is a meek high schooler (yes I do like high school stories), who plays the guitar really well and can sing, and that is basically all anyone cares about, save for his best friend Apollo. Apollo is like that kid who thinks he is the man around town, lady killer but nobody really likes him and gets made fun of behind his back. So lo and behold a new student appears! It’s a girl! Eurydice! And she walks in all beautiful and innocent and Orpheus immediately falls in love with her and she reciprocates and its all flowers and warm fuzzy thoughts for a few months between them.

Then she mysteriously transfers schools and moves away, the excuse she gives Orpheus is that her dad is switching jobs. She briefly mentions she is moving to Tenarian/Erebus (I haven’t decided on a name the first is used in texts and apparently star trek and the second is ‘darkness’, the place between Earth and Hades). She leaves quickly leaving Orpheus confused and heart broken :’(

After hearing terrible stories from Apollo about what a horrible, vile, cruel, dangerous place Tenarian/Erebus is, Orpheus cannot stand to just like Eurydice go their on her own. He feels that he must protect ~the one he loves~, so he decides to visit Tenarian/Erebus until he can convince either Eurydice or her father to come back (if her father is even part of this ohoho). What he doesn’t know is that he will have to convince more than just Eurydice to get her to come back.

I’m just going to say that Orpheus’ school is on spring break while the other school isn’t, therefore he has free time to do whatever. The first person he meets is obviously Charon, who right away can tell that Orpheus isn’t from around here and tells him to get the hell out because he’d feel bad if the blame fell on him for letting such a shmuck run around the school while getting himself in trouble. This obviously doesn’t work because Orpheus is persistent and a bit annoying.

I haven’t really written much past that, but that is enough for starters. I guess the biggest thing is what happens now isn’t going to be realistic and I’ll make it as ridiculous as I want (which is actually so hard for me to do, because everything must be logical).
