"Hey hermes, we know your feeling down. Just wanted to let you know a few things: first of all, eris and athena are a canon ship now. Second, we got a hammer shaped like a heart that makes a person fall in love with another person for a few moments. I feel like that kind of thing would be really useful or entertaining to someone with your....... interests. If you want it, tell me and we'll roomtrap you for a split second, leave the hammer there, and immediately leave. Would that be something you'd up for?"
(if hermes says no, then no roomtrap)

Seconding.

> Don't roomtrap Hermes.

He'll be able tell we've killed Heph, and that might just make him more scared of us.

>roomtrap
>Hey Hermes, I totally rekt that Hephaestus guy. Yep, it was all me baby. I'm like, on a robot massacre now. So any last words before I fuck your shit up?

>DO NOT ROOM TRAP HERMES.

We have no reason to room trap Hermes at this time. He is clearly still understandably upset about being close to death and room trapping him will only make him feel as though we're plotting to kill him. Even if we tell him that we won't and say it will be really quick, he's not going to believe us. It's nothing against us; his paranoia is making him blind to the fact that we actually care about him.

we can continue conversation with Hermes without roomtrapping him. This will accomplish the exact same thing as roomtrapping, but without preventing Hermes from escaping and subjecting him to be stuck in a room with 3 powerful AIs who he believes intend to kill him. Not to mention if we roomtrap him, he'll see that we took Hep's powers, which will not help our case at all. Let's respect Hermes space and avoid a roomtrap for now.

>Do not roomtrap Hermes.

>No roomtrap, we've already wasted a ton of time messing with the AIs

>Cleo: Decide to ask Fortuna to help you make decisions​.
>Cleo: Go pester Adraxas until he decides what to ask from Fortuna too. Decisions yay!

I liked the deer pun!

>No roomtrap.

I think Adraxes will either inadvertently ask for immortality or will ask for a peaceful life.

>No roomtrap.

>But tell Hermes "If you don't want to be our friend that's kinda upsetting but it's fine. But you should trust the friends you do have. Otherwise what's the point of friendship?"

> Don't roomtrap. The only thing we could do with roomtrapping him is let him kill us, and hopefully gain his trust. Anything else we can do here

> Cleo: Before you leave, ask Hermes for any suggestions on figuring out want you'd want. It's not likely you'll get anything, but what do you have to lose?

> @Hermes: Do you have any shipping advice? We might've been so caught up with trying to find the limbo gods the we forgot to manage our crew.

> CJ: Meet Spips while returning dishes

>do not roomtrap Hermes, he's stressed enough right now as-is

Been reading this since a bit after the current run started and I'm hooked. It's almost definitely too late but is there, I don't know, a donation incentive to buy the Japanese God DLC? I'm kinda enamored with Ama and I don't want her to cease existing.
I mean, if there's a "Super Awesome Deluxe Game of the Year Collectors Edition" that packages all the DLCs together I'd put money towards it.

More on-topic...
>I second the idea to give him the Attractive Hammer, though the idea of a full-on roomtrap doesn't appeal to me... If we could use our culture god powers to summon it, let's. If that fails, my plan B is:
>ROOMTRAP: Hermes
>Ask Helios and Athena to go face a wall. It's weird, yes, but they need to trust us on this. Then, remove the Attractive Hammer from inventory, place it on the ground, walk to the other side of the room facing the wall, and inform Hermes to tell us when to end the roomtrap. Strangle screens until Hermes calls for the roomtrap's end, then immediately end the roomtrap.

My reasoning is this: Hermes doesn't trust us to not kill him, but I really want him to have this hammer. He can hit an assailant with it and buy enough time to get away. So, by placing us as far away from him as possible and making it so we could not possibly know what he's doing (hence "Strangle the screens" to cover that aspect) he can be free to look at the hammer to make sure it isn't a trap and be safe knowing we don't know where he is. Mind you, doing this also leaves us and our patrons open to his attack so if we can avoid dragging them in so it's just us and Hermes that would be ideal, but I want to give him as much control as he can have in this situation. I want him to trust us again T^T

Oooh, more redux! Can't wait!

Latta is probably going anyhow.

Unless we plan to bring out the pterodactyl, I say we at least leave spips on the ship since we need her in order to use her terror on fortuna.

With the supposed danger in mind I would say Edel is a good pick because of [Observant]. Similarily, Cea's [imaginary friend] could prevent some trouble, so we should take the both of them.

We can't take both Marble and Adrax because of psychic disable, and because these two are our big guns we shouldn't leave them both on the ship. I say we take Marble beause from a gameplay standpoint it's not as bad if she dies(Adrax has more synergy with the crew) and from a story perspective I'd like to have post-mental breakdown Marble to have more screentime.

And Cleo, well, I don't believe she would add anything of value so she should stay in the ship too so we leave less eggs in one basket.

So, >Latta, Edel, Cea, Marble.

As for stuff, >let's take the magnet(Cea)((in case of robots)), the translator, the music box(because we still haven't used it) and the lantern(Edel). Edit: And Cea should probably grab his smartphone so we can call the crew on the ship.

Did we end up taking scrap when Marble's ship got delivered? If we did we could ask Cleo to make a knifegun or upgrade her arm in the meantime.
