Zagreus has already lost count of the things he's never seen before here, and he only just left the infirmary five minutes ago. He's definitely on the surface, of that he's sure, but he doesn't feel sick or anything. Well, other than hunger pangs, and he hasn't seen a single gyro lying around anywhere.
Fortunately, he stumbles across the bar relatively quickly, and this looks plenty familiar, even if the bartender looks at him like he's suddenly sprouted snakes for hair when he asks for nectar. Since he's unfamiliar with all the drinks on offer and he doesn't even know what 'cake' is, he turns to whoever's nearby with a friendly smile.
"Hello there. Might I ask you for a bit of advice on what to order? And your name, while I'm at it. I'm Zagreus."
[ooc: cake flavor and drink type are up to you! also, if you're a castmate, feel free to assume he cuts himself off mid-word when he sees who it is. XD]
2. Hypnos' Shrine
It's after Zagreus has a sort of plodding conversation with an enormous...uh...ocean hill with a face? (A turtle, Zag. It's a turtle.) that he runs across the shrine by the beach. Finally, something familiar! Zagreus looks over it with curiosity. Maybe whichever god this belongs to can tell him more about--wait. Wait just a second. Are those poppies?
Zagreus hurries over to the altar, but pauses. He doesn't have anything to offer here as a way of hopefully reaching Hypnos. He tries just sort of...talking at the shrine and waiting around; maybe his mate will just hear him and show up?
But all these poppies and the general sleepy vibes here get him yawning and lying down just in front of the altar soon enough. He's just going to take a tiny little nap.
...or, instead, quite an unintentionally long nap, thanks to his chat with the turtle. Whoops! Hopefully somebody finds him soon and doesn't mind getting a little cozy...
3. Sun's Out! and it's Really Fucking Bright!
Like, really fucking bright. Painfully so, actually, if Zagreus isn't squinting or shielding his eyes somehow. The heat, at least, is normal to him - well, as normal as Asphodel ever is. He does appreciate that when he stepped onto the beach, it did him the courtesy of giving him less clothing to wear.
He does not appreciate the fact that when he steps into one of the tents to find some shelter from the sun, it ends up providing absolutely none whatsoever because it suddenly turns translucent. He mutters to himself about it in his annoyance.
Or you may run across him marveling at something completely mundane, like a seagull. Or sand. Or salt water. Or a seashell. Really, most of what's here is entirely new to him. Feel free to interrupt his musing about why these strange white bats are so loud!
And if you happen to see him cavorting in the water with a gigantic, red, three-headed dog that exudes menace, don't worry - that's just his DTF. At one point, though, while he's in the water, he feels a sort of tingling sting and brings his hand up to look at it; there's a strange heart-shaped mark there on his palm. He has no idea what a jellyfish is, but presumably there's something in the water that did this, so you might find him making his way back to shore with his huge dog in tow, frowning at his hand and trying to shake it out.
