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!

I thought I had but I made a mess of that. [ Her shoulders fall as she lowers her gaze. A weak little smile plays across her lips as she speaks.

It's been especially difficult for her due to how she was raised and what was expected of her. And then matters were complicated more by someone else shortly before she arrived. ]

It's bad whenever Sanguis is active. It doesn't seem to matter if it's during the Triple Moon or not.

[ She looks back to the camera and shakes her head, forcing a smile. ] Thank you, but it's better if I'm not around others during those times.

Did you...? [Learning that detail about the other goddess's life will leave Nike feeling a little sorry for having brought it up. It almost made her wonder how she could possibly make a mess of it. Did she end up falling for whoever was her partner? It seemed like one very likely option. Easy enough to assume.] I'm sorry to hear that!

[For both the issue with her partner and preferring to be alone while she was struggling with herself whenever the moon was present. It almost made Nike wonder if there was anything else she could do to help but knew better. How many times has she been possessed or used by someone else to do their bidding? Nike will look down, wondering out loud.]

But, you know, even though we can't do much to help each other deal with this, I'm glad you reached out to talk about it. It helps me feel less alone and awkward. So thank you!

[And with a softer smile.]

You're the first...or maybe the second deity I've met? But definitely the very first female high-rank spirit I've met!

Yeah... [ She's not sure if Nike's question is simply there to confirm she messed things up or if she trying to ask for details. Her thought would be partially correct though. Her crush had developed into something more. She wouldn't have called it love but she certainly has stronger feelings than she expected to have for anyone other than Hades (though certainly not as strong as those feelings).

But she feels like it was what she did during Sanguis that really messed things up. She could have just crushed her feeling downs, she's convinced she's good at that. ]

I'm not sure I reached out about that in particular...the conversation just kind of moved that way. But, um, you're welcome.

Oh, I wouldn't call myself high ranking. I'm barely known back home.
