Never would have guessed from the username, thanks.
I thought I was pretty clear. Which part didn't you understand?

Like I said, it was just wild conjecture. I can't make sense of what we have and say for certain what's coming any more or less than any other.
Knowing slightly less than nothing is better than knowing nothing at all. I certainly can't predict or extrapolate what's definitely coming, but the rapid loss of sunlight does lead me to wonder if that's not the 'something lost'. Framing it around snakes and an eye lead me to assume Egyptian myth and legend, which I am far from any expert in.
That's about all I have, and I'm not sure how to prepare for 'we might have to actually find the goddamn sun'.

[Sigh.]
The eye that was brought up is, to the best of my limited understanding, a depiction of the Eye of Ra, who is the god of the sun in Egyptian myth. And if I recall correctly, said deity is also aligned with or otherwise represented by serpents.
From there and looking directly out my window, I can sure as hell tell you it's already pretty goddamn unnaturally dark for this time of day. So I would infer there's some weird shit going on with the sun and any forces that might be invoked with regards to it.

You know, I don't know what I was expecting any other answer. Why would anything around here be simple and straightforward? Really, I'm the fool for not expecting to deal with gods right on the heels of dealing with demons.

I'll do what I can to research by myself then. It might not turn out to be relevant but it never hurts to be informed.

Running across gods and demigods and whatever else is a matter of 'when' and not 'if' in circumstances this blatantly supernatural.
I don't know what you'll find with research, but I'm certainly not about to stop you. It might even prove helpful one way or another.

I take it my chances at finding a reliable method of killing a god in any of the books here are fairly low.
[ her first thought was god killing??? well, it's ryoko, so... ]
If I come across anything useful, I'll let you know to better prepare yourself and your students.

Oh, you'd probably be surprised. Gods die in myth all the time, the trick is keeping them that way.
Thanks, though.

It's just a matter of finding the right weakness. Even the most powerful existences can die--some of them even know well enough to fear it, sometimes.

If it were Celtic, maybe. Egyptian, I don't know a damn thing about in any real detail.

Knowing my luck? It's pretty even odds, depending on whether or not it would be inconvenient for me.

I am certain the fae will not respect my office hours.
I'm fine, Hansa. I said that I would be, don't tell me you were still worried.
