[Cerbie gives a "ruff" of acknowledgement, wiggling his butt happily as he crouches... and then he zooms off, making his way around the track as fast as his little puppy legs can go!]
VR? 3D? [Zagreus has played a few video games, but none that required anything more than a simple ten-button controller. And even then, his prowess with it is middling at best.] Wait, so you put precious metals inside it? Huh. So it's a mix of metals, an-- an alloy, or something, on the outside? But it's still light enough for Cerbie to cart around... oh, speaking of which, I should catch up to him!
[Zag's going to use his Sprint to catch up and run a lap with Cerbie real quick, get some of his energy out. And when he gets back, with Cerbie not far behind with his little chariot, he seems just as full of questions... mostly because if he doesn't talk continuously, he might very well explode.]
So what sorts of materials would you use to make a bigger version of this? Obviously we don't have anything that light yet resilient back home, my home is in what you lot seem to call the Bronze Age, still. And of course my father has almost all the precious metals stored with him, since he is the God of the Underworld, and all, which also means anything under the earth. The mortals dig precious gems and metals and use them, but invariably, Father gets hold of them again somehow. Mortals die and are buried with their swords, and jewelry, and such.
Do you think we'll get things in the Mortal Realm like steel and titanium soon, or do you think that's a few centuries still? Heh, not that you'd know anything about my world. What about your world, when did they start using flying chariots and video games and amazing creations like that? I bet Daedalus would be green with envy at the stuff you've got in your world, stuff he has yet to even dream about. And he's an inventor who knew his stuff.
