I must confess, I don't understand that at all! I mean what the _____? Yeah, I know what is Hades, the place, but what the ____ it has to do with anything here?

But now I need to know. Really.

Do you mean there is something like a curse or saying that is widely-used in English-speaking countries (at least both Australia and the US.) that is used in a situation anywhere similar or comparable to the one we faced as players in the beginning of the game? And what is that reference to a "negative(???) non-christian underwolrd"? Why didn't you just say Hades, the dwelling of the dead, if that is what you mean? So did you just mean "Where the F? Where the F is Hades?" or did that christianity stuff have some other meaning in there? Sorry, communication's hard sometimes.

When more than the number of wolves and the wannabes (cursed & mytho) tell me that is a usual thing to say when in trouble, I'll promise to reconsider (a wise wolf would use that chance to be sure, it would even make it a better hint, less obvious - but would also explain easier the choice of Hades there).

And anyway, if that is a common curse, why didn't someone just say that a long time ago? It would have made it a different case.

BLah. Could you stop coming up with things concerning this speacial case? I'd like to do something else - and get to bed!
