The screaming, the rumbling, it was driving the God of Commerce and Travelers mad. Ever since those screams started to show up at the most random times of day, Mercury had been looking around for the cause of them. None of the gods claimed to have any idea about where it came from, and some didn't even seem to care that much. It almost seemed as if they thought it would all just stay with the screaming and rumbling. And hell, Mercury wouldn't care too much if he thought it would stay with that either. But terrifying things like this didn't happen without ending up as a disaster. And the last thing Mercury wanted to happen was having to spend the rest of his life on Earth, just because the other gods and goddesses were too careless to stop the doom that was before them.
So as soon as another dose of screaming and rumbling happened, Mercury began running all over the Between. A loud bang could be heard when the god passed the sound barrier, and looked around as fast as he could. Mercury didn't give his fellow gods and goddesses not a single millisecond of interest, for he didn't want to waste any time not looking for the cause of this rumbling and screaming. There was nothing in the icy clouds of the Norse gods, and neither was there anything of interest in the humid clouds of the Japanese. The realm of the German gods didn't show anything that could cause this trouble either, and neither did the Roman and Greek realms.
Right when he was about to do a double check on every part of the Between, the screaming and rumbling stopped. Once again, Mercury had not found the cause of this mess.
Mercury was beginning to freak out. Whoever was the cause of this was too good at hiding for Mercury to find them. Either that or the god was just missing something very obvious. Angered by the fact that he was not fast enough, the God of Commerce shouted in frustration. The Between pushed up in front of him, and a large punching bag formed. Mercury began hitting the thing to let out some steam.
Slowly: two hits per second.
Faster: ten or twenty per second?
As fast as he could: his hands became a blur.
With one last hit, the punching bag went flying through the between, landing far away from Mercury. The god dropped himself to the pile of hay that was floating on top of the cloudy mass that was the Between.

 SO I SNARLED AT THIS IRRESPONSIBLE WORLD So rarely does it occur, that when objects fall from the heavens and flop onto his head with a resounding smack, Rin usually finds the time to figure out the source.
Perhaps it was a certain alignment of the stars at the time and a comet had bounced off his head, or perhaps it was a punching bag that phased through those "humid" clouds, or maybe the dissatisfied rumbling of whatever it was had shook loose a boulder from the cliffs above. The punching bag floating in the water beside him suggested neither the former nor the latter--so, what did that mean? Who was throwing Little Mac's possessions around?
He took up its slack suspension cords in his talons and rose to peer out the haze of the Between, feeling somewhat anxious. The screeches that had echoed through the Realms of the Gods sounded inhumane and old, and though Ryujin could profess that nothing intimidated him, he was more unsettled by those screams than he'd ever admit.
Old things were large and withdrawn. He wasn't sure he was strong enough to fight whatever it was if he met face-to-face, and he didn't think it would care enough to listen to reason. If you could animate a rock and give it ten times the power of a typhoon, that was an Ancient God.
He didn't really think that whatever it was was actually something like that, and if was, he didn't think it would attack them by throwing exercise equipment around...but better safe than sorry, right?
Before exposing anything more than his head, the Dragon scanned the horizon, looking for something big. There wasn't anything but a blank, dreary grey, and he shifted his forelegs onto the cloudy surface before shifting into his human form to pick himself up.
There was, however, a slouched figure by a mound of hay--odd?--who seemed to be sat at the exact location where the punching bag had come from. Could this be source?
"You know, you're supposed to punch these things, not hurl them into the abyss." Ryujin floated over to the other God, holding up the dripping, water-logged punching-bag. "This is yours, right? Are you okay?" because i can't affirm myself at all |

Clouds were soft, mattresses were soft, but neither of those things smelled as nice as hay, nor did they have that nice, scratchy vibe to them. That was why Mercury decided to make the Between's mass of clouds underneath him into a large pile of hay. Sure, it did manage to get stuck in his trousers from time to time, but at least it gave him something to think about, other than the rumbling and screaming.
But Mercury didn't get a lot of time to think about anything, for after a few minutes, another god floated towards him, holding the punching bag he had just punched a bit too fast. The God of Commerce often tried to memorise all of the gods of the Between, but it appeared that his memory failed him this time. From the looks of it, the god before him was one of those fancy Asian gods. And going by the fact that he was holding Mercury's soaked punching bag, he probably spent a lot of time near the sea, or a lake, or something like that.
"Let me guess, it flew all the way to Asia?" Mercury said, as he stood up and brushed some of the hay off his trousers. The god nodded over to a hook that was floating above the cloudy floor of the Between. "Just hang it over there. I guess I must have hit it too hard." Even though he wasn't much taller than Mercury, this god did seem a lot bigger, due to his floating. It nearly made Mercury feel less important, so he shook his feet slightly, and a pair of wings pushed themselves out of the sides of his shoes. With his wings flapping, Mercury floated up to his fellow god, until they were both at the same height.
"And no, I'm not okay. Or well, I am okay, but the Between is not okay. Or well, the Between is okay right now, but it is going to be not okay." Mercury sighed and stretched his arms, as he looked at the god in front of him. "I've been looking into that screaming and rumbling and stuff, but the person who causes it is just nowhere to be found! So I hope you're as good at finding clues as you are at fishing for punching bags, because I'm close to leaving the Between for good and starting a life on Earth."
