004 » Video; UN: Persephone

[ragingnature]

[ This is something Persephone probably should have done a few months ago.

There is a very pink young woman on the screen. She gives a sheepish little wave as she smiles.

] Hello, my name is Persephone and I'm the Goddess of Spring back home. Yes, I'm an actual goddess, it's not just a title. Yes, I am as pink as I appear, I'm not sunburned. [ Her gaze drifts away from the camera as ticks off things that have been brought up to her. Her tone is cheerful. ] And yes, for the humans from various different versions of Earth, I am the Persephone of Greek Myth. But the stories you know are wrong...to an extent. If you have any questions pertaining to that I'll do my best to answer them.

Also, you don't have to treat me special or anything just because I'm a goddess! I'm really normal aside from the fact I randomly grow flowers in my hair sometimes. [ It's really not that random. ]

A-anywho! I'm making this post for a reason beyond that. One, I'm curious if there are any other deities from other worlds here. I've met one and spoke with another, though I believe she's gone now. If you are a deity I'm curious how being here has affected your abilities. I-if you wish to share, that is!

For anyone else, I'd like to hear about the gods of your world. If you have them.

Thanks!

Name rings a bell... Admittedly, don't know much shit about Greek myths beyond all the constellations.

[Literally, all of them.]

That's okay. I've learned that some people are familiar with the myths and some aren't. I just thought I'd get it out of the way in case they had.

[circumitus]

Guess it doesn't hurt to be upfront about it. If it's something obvious, anyway.

[And having super pink skin and magic growing hair and shit is a dead giveaway.]

More familiar with a different pantheon. Don't suppose those are real where you're from, too?

[ragingnature]

There's the Norse Pantheon as well. [ Which she contemplated running away to. Others might exist as well (but we don't have confirmation!). ]

Which are you more familiar with?

[circumitus]

[snort]

Norse, actually. Because military and scientist types think they're "clever" with naming conventions when needing a label for a base or test subject.

[You can practically hear the air quotes.]

[ragingnature]

Ah. I don't actually know a lot about them, I just know they exist.

[circumitus]

It's... interesting. Have wondered where the hell humans got inspiration for such stories back then.

[ragingnature]

Well... I can't say for sure about where you're from, but back home we might help with the spread of some of those stories.

[circumitus]

...And those stories end up in some telephone game, which is why they're "wrong"?

[You can practically hear the air quotes in her voice, as Persephone herself said they were only to an extent.]

[ragingnature]

I suppose so, yes.
