Modern Au Iliad Chatfic (title pending)

Summary:

I'd love to say i have actual good writing to bring to you all but i dont so here. Tosses my modern au chatfic slop down on the table. Eat up guys

This exists to throw random ideas that i dont have the motivation to fully flesh out but still want to mess with into, and also to give me something nice and easy to write & clear my mind when i get stuck, so expect inconsistent updates!

Notes:

I really really wanted to finish an Ody & Neo snippet of Neo visiting Ithaca after Ody gets back from the Odyssey for fathers day but alas! i'll have to post it some other time i suppose. have my chatfic slop instead
and okkk lets get names out of the way
nobody - Odysseus
definitelyafurry - Diomedes
TheREALLeader - Achilles
pattycake - Patroclus
TheLeader - Agamemnon
TheBetterAtreides - Menelaus
lesserAjax & betterAjax - Take a wild guess ( i got tired of coming up w names ok diomedes really took it out of me)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

    [ definitelyafurry sent a video ]

[ video description:  The video starts with a bottom-up view of Diomedes’ head and shoulders, before switching after a moment to a more normal angle. Diomedes is grinning.

    “Ok, ok, Sthenelus managed to get behind Dissy. I don't think he's noticed us yet.”

    Diomedes looks somewhere past the camera, other hand raising to give a thumbs up, before the camera flips around. Sthenelus is standing behind Odysseus, looking at the camera, before he nods and grabs Odysseus’ beanie off his head and bolts away. Diomedes can be heard laughing.

    Odysseus stands still for a moment, before slowly turning around. Sthenelus runs up beside the camera, grinning and laughing breathlessly. There's a few seconds of Diomedes and Sthenelus laughing, the camera seemingly forgotten, before Odysseus snaps forward and runs, full speed, at the camera.

    The phone is dropped with a shout from both Diomedes and Sthenelus. There's darkness for around ten seconds, backed by the sounds of shoes on concrete, before Odysseus picks up the phone with a frown and the video ends. ]
