001 » Voice; UN: Persephone

[ There’s nothing but dead air for a few moments before Persephone finally speaks up, sounding a little nervous. ]

Um… I didn’t expect the red moon to be, um, so much. I sort of lost control and burned a little too much Chroma.

[ A pause. ]

So, um, what I’m asking is if there’s anyone that would like to cuddle? I’ll make it worthwhile! I can bake something or cook you a meal, just as long as it’s vegetarian.

[He's surprised to hear that. There's the slightest widening of his eyes to show it before he schools his expression back into a scowl.]

It's more than a tiny bit.

[He's pretty sure he's awful, okay? But also...he is actually curious though he doesn't really know how to ask about it. So after a brief pause he asks,] Oh?

[ragingnature]

If you say so.

[ She doesn't see it and can't help but grin at him. But the question causes her grin to fade into a fond smile. A bit of a blush overtakes her features, though it can be difficult to see given her already pink skin. ]

The King of the Underworld, Hades. I've noticed he has this reputation of being feared and respected, though more fear like you. A lot of people think he's cold and scary but he's not, he's really sweet. And no one that has seven dogs could be a bad person.

[wooden_one]

Another god?

[There were the ghost kings where he's from...but he doubt any of them could truly bne considered king of the entire netherworld. But he's intrigued because...]

He has seven dogs?

[He's mentally dismissed the whole, he's like you because he's really sweet sentiment.

Also, he's a dog person.]

[ragingnature]

Yeah. There are a few of us and like my mother he's one of the Six Traitors Dynasty.

[ She realizes that's probably going to take some explainig but she'll let him ask if he's curious about it. ]

Yup! Cordon Bleu, Mushroom, Russell, J.P, Fudge, Big John, and Cerberus. They're all such sweet dogs, except maybe Cordon, he's a bit moody.

[wooden_one]

[He's definitely curious! Because he's always been the studious sort and he likes learning.]

What is the Six Traitor Dynasty?

[Those are...some interesting names. Not that he knows what a 'cordon bleu' or a 'Big John' or even what a 'Fudge' is. So it's les that the meanings are interesting so much as they all sounded foreign.] Dogs are generally sweet...when taught properly.

[And if someone had so many dogs and they were all sweet then he probably knows what he's doing.]

[ragingnature]

They're the children of the Titans. The six that overthrew them and started the current pantheon. [ That's the short of it anyway.

She nods, agreeing with him about the dogs. ]

His dogs are well behaved. [ Well, mostly well behaved. Cerberus seems to be smitten with her and has literally left his post to track her down. And Cordon Bleu is a tiny yappy devil. ]

[wooden_one]

Even gods can be overthrown... [How fascinating! And it makes sense, when he thinks about it.]

I've never found the time to keep a pet. [Let along so many! And then, a little awkwardly,] Have you...ever had any pets?

[ragingnature]

Yeah. [ Espeically when enough gods band together again one to do it. ]

I used to feed the birds and other animals around but, no, I've never had a pet.

[wooden_one]

Why did they rebel?

[He's raised three disciples but that's...hardly the same thing.]

Can I assume that wild animals would not be frightened of you?

[Goddess of Spring seems like it'd come with that in the package.]

[ragingnature]

It's kind of complicated but I guess it boiled down to Cronus being afraid he would lose his throwe to his children so he tried to keep them imprisoned. As you can imagine, his fears came true due to his actions.

[ In the end, it was just history repeating itself as Cronus had done the same to his on father. ]

You assume correctly. Animals tend to really like me, even if they're a little skittish at first they usually come around.

[wooden_one]

A self-fulfilling prophecy...and one well-deserved, it sounds like.

[He can't say he has any sympathy for the father in this case.

He nodded along with her explanation. It was as expected.]

Is it your nature and disposition or because you are the Goddess of Spring?

[ragingnature]

[ She nods.

She lets out a thoughtful hum before shrugging. ]

Maybe a little bit of both?

[wooden_one]

So you're not sure.

[His tone is thoughtful if a little amused but not judgmental. With her personality, it would be hard to tell...]

I suppose there's no real way to test it either way.

[ragingnature]

[ She nods again. ]

There's really no way to tell, either. But I think it might be a bit more tied to my abilities? Animals are also drawn to Artemis but she's, well, she's fiery.
