An Evil Plan

If there's one God you don't want to get steamed up It's Hades, cause he had an evil plan He ran the Underworld But thought the dead were dull and uncouth He was as mean as he was ruthless And that's the gospel truth He had a plan to shake things up And that's the gospel truth

Here are the introduction scene pencil tests put together. Aside from some expression and acting choices, I stuck pretty close to what was on the...

Ladies and gents... The making of me!

You're celebrating Christmas and New Year's? But aren't those Christian holidays?

Wow, you really think the world started with your measly, little, nameless, “god” figure, don’t ya? Listen, babe. All of that “Christmas” stuff you guys do in that little future of yours… yeah, it’s kinda like… super old. Like, “before your religion” old. Ever heard of the Winter Solstice? It’s this celestial event that happens every year: shortest day in the year and longest night in the year. It’s been doing that for a while now - you’d think you people would notice! And lemme tell you: it’s the coolest. Night. EVER! Drinks on the house and terror through the lands. Thank you, thank you, all compliments go to myself and the crew. Also super important if you’re a farmer and you care about crops and stuff. I dunno, not my problem. 

And the Romans? Ooooh, ask the fates about that one, dude. Saturnalia. Really big thing. Sexy. Booze-y. Love it! Sure, it’s named for the wrong heavenly being but it’s still a super hit here in the Underworld. 

So basically… what I’m saying here is… do your reading, bub. Your watered-down beliefs ain’t got nothing on the ancient stuff. Now THAT’S how you celebrate things! 

*hums to himself and walks away*

Business is just booming in the Underworld this time of the year, but don’t let that discourage you from joining in on the fun! Tired of your boring dead-end job? Disgusted to be going back there on Monday? Alone for the New Year with your box of chocolates and just a teensy bit too much ouzo for comfort? Got 99 cats and a tomcat ain’t one? Well, that’s just depressing. Innit? Makes you just want to... do something drastic about it!

And we’re here to help you, out of the kindness of our little hearts! Why not start your eternity in the Styx TODAY? Make it your New Year’s resolution or come begin your 2016 in eternal agony, alongside all the rest of our sad, pathetic, Cerberus chum! Nobody’s come back to complain yet!

Scared? We can help! Call us now at:

CCCXLVII-DCLXXXIX-MCCLXX

... And our loyal employees, Pain and Panic, will be at your doorstep in the sweep of a sundial!

Can’t wait to see ya, babe *godly wink*

(OOC: I hope Hades wasn’t too insensitive... You know what he’s like! However, I really would like to wish you all a wonderful 2016, with lots of health, wealth and especially... HAPPINESS! Oh, oh, oh - and lots of accomplished resolutions!)

LOOK at this stunning devil, y’all! MUST buy one for my vestibule.

"Excuse me are you Hades Lord of the Underworld ? I came to Talk to you Do you Know Maleficent ? She's My Mother and My name is Mal and she told me Your My Father Im your Daughter " Mal explaned

Hades took the note from Pain. Looked at it. Scoffed. “More of this stuff, he thought, under the impression that he’d just read his usual fanmail...

“Wait WHAT?!?!”

The god’s hair ran green for a few second, then flashed to yellow. His eyes widened. It took him a few minutes to recompose himself. Nah, surely this was a joke... A daughter? Him? Haha no.

“Dearest Mal”, he wrote on the back of the note, not taking the time to search for another paper.

Was it even worth replying though? Umm... You know what, yeah! Let’s put this thing to rest!

“Dearest Mal,

I don’t know what crazy stories your mother’s been feeding ya, but I most certainly do not have, nor will I ever have, a child.

Lots of love,

Your not-father,

Hades Lord of the Undead and future Ruler of All”

Yikes, Hades thought to himself. The kid may not be a spawn of the Undead but she sure can scare a grown god! Hmm... maybe... Naaaah. Ridiculous! Him! A father! Ha!

“PAIN!!!! Come ship this thing out to my so-called “daaaaughteeeer!” Hades screamed, making comedic googly eyes as he said “daughter”.

OOC

Hey guys! Just wanted to apologize for taking to damn long to respond to things... Frankly I’m a bit overwhelmed by the notes :))

Adonis ain’t got nothing on me, suckers! 

(I KNEW all that dieting would pay off!)

[disneyroleplay]

Oh honeeeeeeey! I'm hooooooome! And... yeesh, it really DOES feel like "home" in here! Come on, come on, a little bit of applause, a little cheering, a few of those delightful mini quiches - it's not every day you've got a GOD visiting! Cindy, babe, can I get a refill on this? Yeah thanks. Soooo anyway, I'm here on business, which kinda means you're stuck with me. But that's okay, we can play Checkers and then you can help me take over the world - normal Friday night stuff. So, you in, mortals?

… Who’s Cindy?  Were you addressing her as ‘honey’!?  Oh, Hades, how could you!?  And you were playing Checkers with her as well!?  Please don’t tell me you also played patty-cake!

Everybody, please follow and welcome Hades!

Hades stared for a second, before deciding to play along with the crass misunderstanding of his subtle, intelligent, theatrical sense of humor. 

“What can I say. I’m irresistible. To die for.”

A pause, while he sipped his drink.

“Patty-cake and all that jazz.”

Alright, Mr. Big Shot "Lord of the Dead". How exactly do you PLAY "Slav Roulette"?

Well first things first: at least someone in the party needs to be mortal. Otherwise… where’s the fun? So basically, if you wanna play, you’ll have to bring your little mortal friends with you. 

But for future reference, here’s how you do the thing. So you get some tiny glasses, right? And a round tray for the tiny glasses. Fill those babies up with the best ouzo in the house - the Slavs use some other transparent liquid but trust me, that thing’s worse than Styx water - but nah-ha-ha ha… Here’s the catch! One of those little drops of godliness has a tiiiiny invisible, tasteless drop of poison in it. Cherry on top, if you will. Best cherry on the market too - Thanatos himself brews it. So anyway, long story short, each of the suckers drinks their drink, with the risk of dropping dead after a few fun minutes of agony. I get to watch them turn blue and green and purple in the face, watch my population count increase, and all in all have a wonderfully fun evening. The other suckers feel a rush cause hey, they’ve just stared death in the face! Twice! Hahaha, get it? Me? Death? Stare in the face? No? Fine, whatever. Point is, everybody’s happy. Well, apart from the bozo who’s lying dead on the carpet, but who cares about that schmuck? 

And sidenote: GREAT taste in colors, dude. Really digging the whole blue-ness thing you’ve got going on here!

How'd you get out the Styx? Did you find the rope I left you?

In the Styx? Moi? Babe, trust me, the dead are boring enough from a healthy distance. Get closer to their whiny behinds and it’s Prozac prescriptions and group sessions for life. I mean sure, I’m a strapping young god and all that, but that’s one pool you don’t wanna swim laps in. If you get my drift.

(OOC: For now, Hades is in “pre-movie” mode - whether that’s ever going to change or not, is up to whoever gets the other Hercules characters in the future :P)

So while we wait for stuff to happen...

...who’s in for boardgame night? Oh, and I’ve got just the game! Slav Roulette!
