Artemis had watched the events that unfolded, though few of them caused much of a reaction. Little surprised her. Artemis was likely the one least surprised by the goddess using Vex as a medium to speak to them. Gods tended to do that, they needed to speak to them somehow, and often god's were too busy to actually appear to them. Or they just didn't feel like it. Vex's words made sense to her, and her mind was already working to figure out their missions. Gods never did things like this without a mission.

Artemis did, however, react when Vlad threw the books on the floor. A look of sheer horror crossed her face. Treating books with such disrespect... it was reprehensible. Especially considering the books in this house would be extremely valuable and difficult to come by in the team's actual timeline. She was going to say something to him about causing possible damage to such treasures, but Shadow had it handled. Artemis did grin a bit as Shadow thwacked Vlad with the book. Lord knew he deserved it.

Once that display of immaturity was over, it was time to get focused. Discord spoke of figuring out where they were, and Artemis nodded. "I agree. Though I will say judging by the architecture and level of technology we are somewhere in the 17th or 18th century. Which means a few things." it was odd for Artemis to take a bit of a commanding role, but being the governess and likely the most knowledgeable about history, there were a few things they needed to know "First off, in here we can obviously say whatever we want and talk however we want. But out there, in the town nearby, we have to act as if we are from this century. So no mention of technology, indoor plumbing, steam power, electricity, etc. Second." She looked around at everyone for a moment, hoping they were listening "We may have to consider going by different names in public. The names and codenames we have here would sound very strange to the people that live here, and may draw undue attention. We can't risk messing up the timeline too much, or the consequences in the present could be quite bad." Artemis finished, eyes glancing around the room "And the last thing, I think a couple of us should venture to the town to find out where we are. Although there may be maps or something in this mansion that can give us some insight.."
