Great. How did we get here HUH ODYSSEUS??
BASICALLY, right after most of his crew got brutally murdered by Poseidon JUST to get sent STRAIGHT to Circes island and find out some of his men were turned to pigs. Great.
Even after some Moly from Hermes, He couldn't help but find himself at least a little nervous. This was Circe. Someone who could put a spell on him and do WHATEVER. Though he didn't want to show that. He was Odysseus! A fearless and brave king who'll do anything to get back to his kingdom.
Entering Circe's Palace felt like a whole mood switch. He went from "okay.. entering the sting zone.." to "Wait that was easy This'll prolly be a piece of cake".(I'm so sorry for this reference)
He finally walked into the thrown room, and y'know yatta yatta The fight happens. Yeah yeah and NOW it's time for the best part!!
"Hm. If you aren't willing to.. sacrifice your life then I'm sure there are.. other ways."
Odysseus froze. OTHER WAYS?? Oh HELL NO. He wasn't gonna be seduced by a magic goddess!! And then..
She placed her hands on his sides. His poor, poor sensitive sides. He was VERY vulnerable to side tickles.. especially out of NOWHERE!
"Woah woah heyheheeheh.." Odysseus tried to speak, though Circe, who was actively tickling his sides, caused him to burst into a fit of giggles. "Heheheh.. No! S-stohohop!!"
Circe's smile widened as she watched him giggle, her fingers dragging along his sides. It seemed this is a nice sacrifice.. one of dignity and vulnerability. One that would probably be embarrassing.. which it was for Odysseus. Considering he hasn't really Laughed or smiled much in.. a while. Not much since Polites.
But alas, here he was, giggling like a madman because the Goddess of Magic wanted a payment for his men.
In all honesty, it was truly the best distraction. Especially when she slowly pulled a dagger out and prepared to stab him.
Until he pushed her away, giggling quietly as he tried recovering. "Stohop!" He said between quiet, faded giggles..
He then went on the long rant about his wife and how long he's been away from her, blah blah blah..
"Poseidon, eh?" She spoke, quietly walking over to a cauldron as she began grabbing herbs and potions, "There might be a way to evade him.."
Yea yea all that yapping
"I can't get you home but I'll get you do the underworld instead.."
"You're actually helping us?"
She nodded as she began walking through her gardens, going to the Men-turned-pigs before finally reversing the spells that her tainted food and wine had given them.
It took a bit for Odysseus crew to finally leave, getting a head count(just one off, but he assumed it was a miscount), and set off with some fruits.

Lmao I'm trying my best to get back to working on my Queued stuff(and I'm already working on it!!) but oh my gosh my motivation dissipated the second I posted that Hermes and Odysseus fic send help
Look me in the eyes. And TELL ME. That Hermes doesn't give big LER Energy.
Actually yes I'm doing that RIGHT NOW ITS UNDER THIS THING!! Yes I still have that long list but who cares THIS IS URGENT
Also I'm sorry if my writing's a little bad or boring I've been busy with school.. double apologies if there's miscaracterization😢
After the argument with Eurylochus, of course Odysseus ended up meeting Hermes. It was surprisingly pleasant. Maybe it was because Hermes wanted to help him, and not leave some of his crew there.
"Hehehe.." Hermes giggled, floating around Odysseus with interest. "You're in quite a pickle Ody! It's very, very good your old gramps is here to help you!"
Odysseus sighed, rolling his eyes. He just wanted the help, not much small talk. He had a wife to go back to. And he missed her dearly.
"Soo.. you want my.. ahem, Holy MOLY? HAHAHAAAA!!.. Or is there no time for small talk? You're so grumpy!" Hermes yapped, leaning back and crossing his legs in.. well, the air. "Jeez! Normally there'd be a smile on your face!"
"Maybe it's because I want to get home.." Odysseus spoke quietly. He had some self composure and he DEFINITELY didn't want to sound mean to someone who was trying to help him. "Can I.. just have the Moly? Sorry, not in the mood for small talk.."
Hermes looked at him blankly for a moment before laughing a hearty laugh. A genuine, hearty laugh. And then stared at him. This would be very, very fun.
"Now, now. Mr. Gramps over here has his prices. I wanna see you smile." He said, twirly the Moly in between his fingers. "A good, real smile."
Odysseus smiled. Not a real one though, but good enough to be mistaken for one. How would he be able to smile after all of this? He watched Polites die, the majority of his men were gone, and now he needed to get the REST of his missing crew back from Circe.
"Awwh now COME ON!! That's not a real smile!" Hermes smiled, before quietly making the Moly *POOF!* Out of existence(I feel like he could do that) and crossing his arms. "Do I have to make you smile? I do want to help you, Odysseus."
"And how would you do that?."
".. You know how."
"Hey, Hey Hermes waiHEHET!!"
Odysseus is cut off as Hermes fingers attack his neck, gracefully dancing like ten feathers. How fun!!
"Are ya gonna smile NOW Odysseus??" Hermes spoke, still tickling his neck. "It would be a SHAME if I had to tickle somewhere else wouldn't it??"
"N-NOHOHOHO!! I-ILL SMILE I SWEAHAHAHERRR!!" Odysseus struggled to speak, giggles cutting off and slurring words. "I PROHOHOMISE!!"
Hermes rolled his eyes playfully, his fingers moving to Odysseus's underarms as louder giggles and laughs expelled from his body.
"I think that called for your FAVORITE spot!!" Hermes giggled, his fingers switching between his sides and underarms.
"N-NO-NOHOHOHO!!" Odysseus laughed, a huge smile on his face. Though Hermes didn't plan on stopping. He wanted Odysseus to truly smile. "PLEAHAEASSE!!"
Hermes chuckled, continuing to tickle Odysseus. This continued for.. around five minutes, until there were little tears in Odysseus's eyes and Hermes KNEW Odysseus's cheeks were hurting from smiling.
Hermes finally pulled away, giggling at the mess he made of his grandson.
"NOW are ya gonna smile, Odysseus?" Hermes asked, looking down at the poor guy.
Odysseus looked up at him, a smile still on his face despite the exhaustion. This time, it wasn't forced. It was real. Hermes had won and actually gotten his grandson to smile.
"There it is!" Hermes said, smiling as the Moly just so magically appeared in his hand again. "Now, here's your Moly for returning my deal! Hahaha!!"
He calmly set the Moly down on Odysseus, floating around like NOTHING HAPPENED.
"Oh and you should probably get some water from laughing too much! Must've made your throat dry, hehe!!"
And with that.. wow he's gone. Goodbye Hermes I guess. Odysseus sat up(I'd assume he fell while giggling), wiping the happy tears from his eyes as he looked at the Moly that Hermes had set down before disappearing and.. well.. inhaled it like air. Yuck. Tastes like garlic.
Great. And now it was time to confront Circe!!.. After a well deserved water break. Obviously.
Look me in the eyes. And TELL ME. That Hermes doesn't give big LER Energy.
Actually yes I'm doing that RIGHT NOW ITS UNDER THIS THING!! Yes I still have that long list but who cares THIS IS URGENT

"Soo.. you want my.. ahem, Holy MOLY? HAHAHAAAA!!.. Or is there no time for small talk? You're so grumpy!" Hermes yapped, leaning back and crossing his legs in.. well, the air. "Jeez! Normally there'd be a smile on your face!"
"Maybe it's because I want to get home.." Odysseus spoke quietly. He had some self composure and he DEFINITELY didn't want to sound mean to someone who was trying to help him. "Can I.. just have the Moly? Sorry, not in the mood for small talk.."
Hermes looked at him blankly for a moment before laughing a hearty laugh. A genuine, hearty laugh. And then stared at him. This would be very, very fun.
"Now, now. Mr. Gramps over here has his prices. I wanna see you smile." He said, twirly the Moly in between his fingers. "A good, real smile."
Odysseus smiled. Not a real one though, but good enough to be mistaken for one. How would he be able to smile after all of this? He watched Polites die, the majority of his men were gone, and now he needed to get the REST of his missing crew back from Circe.
"Awwh now COME ON!! That's not a real smile!" Hermes smiled, before quietly making the Moly *POOF!* Out of existence(I feel like he could do that) and crossing his arms. "Do I have to make you smile? I do want to help you, Odysseus."
"And how would you do that?."
".. You know how."
"Hey, Hey Hermes waiHEHET!!"
Odysseus is cut off as Hermes fingers attack his neck, gracefully dancing like ten feathers. How fun!!
"Are ya gonna smile NOW Odysseus??" Hermes spoke, still tickling his neck. "It would be a SHAME if I had to tickle somewhere else wouldn't it??"
"N-NOHOHOHO!! I-ILL SMILE I SWEAHAHAHERRR!!" Odysseus struggled to speak, giggles cutting off and slurring words. "I PROHOHOMISE!!"
Hermes rolled his eyes playfully, his fingers moving to Odysseus's underarms as louder giggles and laughs expelled from his body.
"I think that called for your FAVORITE spot!!" Hermes giggled, his fingers switching between his sides and underarms.
"N-NO-NOHOHOHO!!" Odysseus laughed, a huge smile on his face. Though Hermes didn't plan on stopping. He wanted Odysseus to truly smile. "PLEAHAEASSE!!"
Hermes chuckled, continuing to tickle Odysseus. This continued for.. around five minutes, until there were little tears in Odysseus's eyes and Hermes KNEW Odysseus's cheeks were hurting from smiling.
Hermes finally pulled away, giggling at the mess he made of his grandson.
"NOW are ya gonna smile, Odysseus?" Hermes asked, looking down at the poor guy.
Odysseus looked up at him, a smile still on his face despite the exhaustion. This time, it wasn't forced. It was real. Hermes had won and actually gotten his grandson to smile.
"There it is!" Hermes said, smiling as the Moly just so magically appeared in his hand again. "Now, here's your Moly for returning my deal! Hahaha!!"
He calmly set the Moly down on Odysseus, floating around like NOTHING HAPPENED.
"Oh and you should probably get some water from laughing too much! Must've made your throat dry, hehe!!"
And with that.. wow he's gone. Goodbye Hermes I guess. Odysseus sat up(I'd assume he fell while giggling), wiping the happy tears from his eyes as he looked at the Moly that Hermes had set down before disappearing and.. well.. inhaled it like air. Yuck. Tastes like garlic.
Great. And now it was time to confront Circe!!.. After a well deserved water break. Obviously.
Look me in the eyes. And TELL ME. That Hermes doesn't give big LER Energy.
Actually yes I'm doing that RIGHT NOW ITS UNDER THIS THING!! Yes I still have that long list but who cares THIS IS URGENT
Also I'm sorry if my writing's a little bad or boring I've been busy with school.. double apologies if there's miscaracterization😢
After the argument with Eurylochus, of course Odysseus ended up meeting Hermes. It was surprisingly pleasant. Maybe it was because Hermes wanted to help him, and not leave some of his crew there.
"Hehehe.." Hermes giggled, floating around Odysseus with interest. "You're in quite a pickle Ody! It's very, very good your old gramps is here to help you!"
