Deadface - Earth-Water-Air-Fire #2

By Eddie Campbell

Yeyeah! Scuba titties! Lady discovers a wrecked boat, and what looks like a Greek statue, but is actually Theseus, she IDing herself as the Hangman's Daughter, and next she's straddling the fella, he awkwardly in a squat, after which looks like a head cloud over a coastal city. Meanwhile, Bacchus and SImpson are at a cafe and are recognized by 2 fellas on the street. 1 of them calls up to Bacchus of their boss wanting to chat, Bacchus not being give a choice without a threat.

Hangman's Daughter confesses to Theseus of knowing he wants his pop's godliness, but was bad luck, noting how whilst he'd gotten immortalism, only sea creatures knew of it. Theseus returns with how he'd always been brought back to living because of females, Theseus asking why she was so curious. Hangman's Daughter shares of they having too much similar to not have met eventually, but she had business which crossed over with him, inviting him along, and he on the fence in accepting, but seeming to possibly get laid beforehand. Bacchus is greeted by Don Skylla, who was looking to the gods, including him to choose a side, for a war was coming.

Bacchus attempts to withdraw his acceptance for not being of the right theme for war, but Skylla mentions 1 of Bacchus' talismans being under his authority, he having Bacchus' eye which he uses to speak to his pop, grand-pop, and great-grand-pop. Skylla shares how he nearly had to eyes, but the other was on Vinnie Bossanova, and he was ritualistically torn apart. As Theseus and HD get rides on dolphins, Bacchus is being introed to a room of black tie men, and as security is getting on Bacchus for not wearing a tie, 1 security fella bloodies the hell out of a fella taking pics of him. As Theseus and HD make it to shore and are mid-roll in ze hay, a cop comes by and says, "Stop it!" haha!

Young man makes a mistake by making it seem like he was expecting a dragging out for Theseus' reason for being nekkid and pounding puss on the beach, so he conks him out and the 2 share his shirt and pants, HD planning on calling her contact to meet them in Sicily, the 2 planning on GTA-ing the cop's cruiser. They meet the 2nd half of the Kaberoi, he asking for Theseus' protection, they being descended from apprentices of Hephaestus, but Theseus declines. He changes his mind though once being offered the eye of fate without contract, he deciding to help them. Unfortunately, true to fashion (Oldboy-style), he learns of his daughter and how he knew her better than most'd want, he also telling of being unable to help the Kaberoi, since they were literally fucking each other over, via spouse.

HD admits to being aware of the possibility of being related to Theseus, but couldn't pass up getting with a God. Theseus feels fucked by fate more than ever, the eye falling in the dark water. Lame for Theseus, but great series, so far!
