004 » Video; UN: Persephone

[ 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!

Ey, Persephone! Nice to talk to you again.

Someone really thought you were sunburned? That's so rude. [ Poor woman. Peter has had a complicated relationship with gods in the past but not even him would never say that to one of them. ]

I've met the God of Thunder back home, he was an Asgardian. Kinda annoying, not that good-looking, scruffy. He joined my crew just before I woke up here.

And my biological father was a god as well, a Celestial.

Hello again! [ She smiles brightly though it turns into a bit of annoyed frown. ]

It might have come up a couple of times.

[ There's a short pause. ]

Asgardian? ...So Norse. You mean you're traveling with Thor? That's really neat!

So you're a demi-god, then? I think we have a few of those running around back home because so-- [ She cuts herself off because she even if he isn't here she really shouldn't badmouth the King of the Gods. ] Uh, yeah.

Sup! [ He can't fault her there, he also gets pretty annoyed when people mock the way he looks, especially if it's Rocket making fun of his weight. ] I've seen sunburned people and they're not even close to your pretty pink color. But I've also meet Krylorians, they're an alien race that is the same color as you but with dark brown hair.

[ He's bedded a few of them too but that's not here nor there. ]

Norse good, that's right. But he's not as impressive as it sounds. Tall, scruffy, the ego the size of a moon...

[ Peter scrunches up his nose a little, somewhat biased in his statement. Maybe if he had more time to get to know Thor now that he joined his crew they might have learned to get along. But he woke up in Lunatia two days after they left earth, not enough time for that. ]

Yeah, I'm a demi-god. Or was. My asshole father is deader than dirt and I lost all my powers. It doesn't change my biology but I can't do anything impressive anymore, I just have a higher tolerance to pain and injury. [ He doesn't sound very troubled by it. While it was really cool to be able to manipulate matter, to fly, and the like, destroying Ego was the right thing to do. At her backtracking, Peter can't help but snicker. She doesn't have to give him details about Zeus, he can extrapolate. ] Oh so that part of the myth is true, uh? I've heard a few things when I lived on Earth but I imagine that with Thor, most of our myths are partially inaccurate.

Oh, neat. I often get mistaken for a flower nymph as they're pink like me. But I lack the long pointed ears.

[ She chuckles softly. ] The size of the ego sounds about right for a god. Though I guess the Norse Pantheon like their facial hair because that's very unlike the gods I know.

The higher tolerance is something at least.

[ She gives a slow nod, looking a little sheepish. ] Y-yeah. That's certainly part of why my mother didn't want me to move to Olympus.

I've never seen one of those. Are they common in your world?

You're so very right about the Ego. And I give you 3 guesses to figure out what was my father's name, the first 2 don't count. He was also planet-sized. Well, an actual planet, rather.

[ There's some bitterness in his voice now that he's speaking more about Ego but it goes away pretty quickly. ]

Thor has a weird thing going on with his beard and his hair, We were trying to convince him to cut it a bit because he looked like a lumberjack.

I can't complain about it, no, it has saved my life in the past.

[ At that, he tilts his head in question ]. Don't all the Gods live there already?

Yup. Nature spirits like them are pretty common.

[ Now she looks confused. She was talking about Thor and his ego... So she's just going to move past that and answer the question. ]

No, not all the gods. Momma settled in the Mortal Realm and that's where I grew. Most of the other gods live in Olympus but Hades and the Chthonic gods mostly live in the Underworld.

That sound so cool. Do you have other magic creatures like unicorns?

[ It was a bad joke, since his father is also named Ego. But Peter doesn't make much sense the best of times, so... ]

In that case, the change must have been really something. Woah, so you do know Hades, the real Hades? What's he like?

Unicorns? [ She shakes her head. ]

There are minotaurs and centaurs, to name a couple.

[ She begins to respond to how moving to Olympus was a pretty big change when Peter asks her about Hades. Almost instantly her face goes hot pink and blue flowers pop up in her hair. It's been six months and one heartbreak later and she still has such a strong reaction every time she thinks of him and she's only know him for about two weeks! ]

Oh, um, yes. Sort of. A lot of people think he's really scary but he's actually really kind. [ A pause. ] Unless he's been angered, of course. He also has eight dogs.

Ah, shame. You know I always wanted to see one of those. Pretty sure it's a bit late for me now, though...

[ That with unicorns only showing up in front of virgins and pure of heart. Peter's not a terrible man but he's also none of those things.

Persephone's reaction is unexpected enough that Peter raises both of his eyebrows at the flowers growing in her hair. He remembers a little about the Hades and Persephone myth, so he knows they're supposed to be an item, but he also knows that those stories can be inaccurate. ]

Ah, I'm familiar with that sort of person. [ Gamora can be like that, because she looks serious and focused, but she's got one of the most honest hearts he's ever seen. ] The more dogs the better, if you ask me. You two get along then?

[ She tilts her head a little. ] I don't actually know what a unicorn is but why would it be too late. Assuming they do exist anyway.

I suppose we do. [ It depends on if constant flirting and handholding and what seems like a gravitational pull between the two of them counts as getting along. ]

I mean, we're not bad terms or anything.

It's a mythological creature, it looks like a white horse with a horn on its forehead. They only approach virgins. People say that unicorns grant wishes to those who are deserving.

[ Ah, the 'unspoken thing'. It's always both fantastic and terrible all at once. ]

That's a good start already. The myths always say that Hades has a 3 headed dogs guarding the Gates of Hell. Do you know if that's true?

Oh. That certainly sounds like an interesting creature. [ That, if they do exist, she'll never see now. ]

Cerberus? He doesn't always have three heads but he can change his size and form. That is his job though it's the Underworld. He's also the sweetest dog.

I've seen a few in movies, now real of course but still pretty.

[ Pretty sure very few moonblessed on this planet have any chance of seeing a real unicorn. At least they have the dragons. ]

Not always? How does that work? Can he grow them and then make them disappear? The size-changing sounds useful, I read that he was huge, which would make it really hard to give him head pats.

I see.

I really don't know how it works. He just kind of changes his shape and then there are two more heads?

He does grow to be a pretty massive size but that makes him excellent for snuggles. [ She adores that dog. ]

I really shouldn't try to look for a logical explanation when we're talking about a magical dog from the underworld.

Hah, I never imagined that such creature would like snuggling. What about belly rubs? [ It shows, Perse. ]

Probably not.

He loves belly rubs. [ A pause. ] From me anyway. I don't think he'd enjoy them as much from a complete stranger.

Yeah.

Hah, it don't think anybody can be mad at you so I'm not surprised to heard his. Have you considered about getting yourself a pet?

Actually...

[ She turns the camera down to show a small fluffy brown and white puppy lying in her lap sound asleep. ]

This is Pomelia.

[ !!!!

Peter has to cover his mouth to not make a high pitched sound and wake up the dog but he's clearly smiling ]

Ah, she's adorable. What a lil cutie pie. I like the name, she looks like a Pomelia to me.

Pomelia is a flower from the region Hades and I are from and I think it suits her nicely.

[ Even if Hades will insist on calling her Meli. ]

I didn't know that. I'm a bit clueless about flowers, I'm afraid. I just realized that if Groot were here you'd probably love him. I might have mentioned him to you before when we first met? He's part of my team...and he is a talking, walking tree. His species is called Flora Colossus.

[ Shhh the old man is wrong, Pomelia is cuter. ]

Oh? That's really neat. Your whole crew sounds really interesting.

A really special lot for sure, but I lose these disasters to bits.

They're my family, no matter how often they drive each other almost nuts.

[ She lets out a soft chuckle. ]

That certainly does sound like family.

Yup. Can't live with them, can't live without them

Do you have any siblings or...?
