Man, what a letdown though. Since this is probably the closest we'll get to a W. We're not going to roll this well for the footrace, and with the sheer volume of rolls the opposition gets we'll get drowned out inevitably. Sure, we're beating some of the competitors and not doing poorly at anything, but being THIS CLOSE to actually taking it and having it snatched away hurts. It wounds me. I'm taking psychic damage. Especially since now with so much charged energy in the air, it won't seem as much like Nikon did a good job as it will that Apollo is blessing the place with a grand showing and spicing up the competition to the benefit of the attendees.
Nikon and Pollux (and Anios and perhaps his sons) will know better, of course, being able to see any actual divine intervention, but the rest of them won't. Fuckin hell. Well, I'm happy for Teukros, at least. He of all people deserves a W every now and again.
