Hades: *sitting outside a cafe, enjoying coffee and a newspaper* Cerberus: *sitting at his feet people-watching*
*A thud against the other side of the window they’re sitting beside makes them both look up*
Persephone, inside the cafe with both palms flat against the window and her face too close to the glass: CAN I PET YOUR DOG?
“Want a party hat?”
She smiled. “Oh!” She took the hat in both hands, her face lighting up as she put the hat on her head. Kore grinned broadly at Andi, and struck a playful pose.
“It’s lovely! Thank you! How do I look?”
new year's / new year's eve starters
“New Year’s is always the year’s biggest letdown.”
“So, what are your resolutions?”
“I swear, if I have to hear ‘Auld Lang Syne’ one more time…”
“Hey, sorry, it took me forever to find a place where my cell could get a signal… happy new year’s from [location].”
“What have you accomplished this year?”
“This year sucked. Good riddance.”
“Let’s hope this year goes better than the last one…”
“There’s a party at [name]’s house. You coming?”
“We’re headed to Times Square to watch the ball drop. You can tag along if you want.”
“Hey, last year of [politician your character doesn’t like]!”
“Just think of all the video games and movies that are being released this year…”
“No champagne for me. Designated driver.”
“Giving up chocolate for new year’s? I give it a week.”
“We’ve had a big year.”
“I plan to hit five parties before midnight.”
“3… 2… 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!”
“Want a party hat?”
“Champagne?”
“Three biggest moments from this year?”
“It’s nearly midnight… have you seen my date?”
“Ah, yes, it’s almost midnight, which no one is going to kiss me at.”
“This time last year, I was living in a motel. This is definitely an improvement.”
“I’ve heard ‘Auld Lang Syne’ six times tonight and it’s only 11:30.”
“And to think, this time last year I was dating you.”
“I need someone to kiss at midnight. You up to it?”
“I need your help. I want to kiss [name] at midnight, and I need you to help me make it happen.”
“It’s New Year’s. Aren’t we supposed to be making out?”
“Oh, God, my ex is here. Pass the champagne.”
“Look, I know you’d rather be in bed, but could you at least pretend to be excited?”
“A toast to my amazing friends, and to the new year!”
“I should’ve been in bed two hours ago.”
“Are you sure [name] is up to stay awake until midnight? I mean, s/he’s only [age]…”
“Psst. Hey. Hey, wake up. It’s midnight. Make your resolutions.”
“I swear, if next New Year’s, we’re in the same place we are now, shoot me. Just do it. I’m serious. Just shoot me.”
“I remember when I’d get so excited for New Year’s…”
“Y'know, New Year’s sort of loses its punch when you stay up until 2 AM every night anyway…”
“I like to think we grew up this year.”
“No firecrackers this year. The neighbors complained.”
“I’m tipsy, covered in streamers, surrounded by hung over people, I have Auld Lang Syne stuck in my head, and I don’t know where my cell phone is. It is New Year’s.”
“You know, under the circumstances, I think this isn’t such a bad impromptu New Year’s party.”
“I can’t believe you gave our son/daughter champagne!”
“Come on, it’s New Year’s Eve, you can’t spend the whole party hiding in the bathroom!”
“How much longer?”
“Any good New Year’s specials on?”
“I’ve had a glass of champagne, I made my resolution, I watched the clock strike midnight. I’m going to bed.”
“You’re crazy. That place is always a zoo on New Year’s.”
“Just pick an outfit so we can go. I mean, it’s just a New Year’s party, it’s not a black-tie event.”
“We should probably get back to the party.”
“What are you doing out here on the roof? The party’s inside.”
“Snow on New Year’s! Wish it had bothered to show up for Christmas…”
“Where’s [name]? S/he’s my ride.”
“I rented a limo. We are arriving to that party in style.”
“To 2015. May it not totally fuck us in the ass.”
"retelling greek myths” sentence starters
I figured some of the stuff I ended up saying while retelling myths was… intresting enough.
“I don’t think I can trust someone who thinks that a rock looks like their son.”
“They got hit by a rock, but that’s okay. It had to be someone”
“THIS BITCH UGLY, YEET!”
“I assume fighting a snake isn’t as hard as you make it out to be. It’s not like they have the hands to throw punches.”
“Damn, that was some poetic shit.”
“No boy will try to date you with a face like that.”
“I’ll pull out your ear hair if you keep talking to me like that.”
“This god… is a baby.”
“Look, I’m all here for self-expression, but you can’t just walk in here with your tiddies hanging out.”
“The problem is this: He punched some rocks, but when he was done with that he started to kill things.”
“He killed a bunch of stuff and decided he was ready to kill a god.”
“Yeah, Poseidon would hang out in the ocean a lot. Probably because he was the god of the ocean.”
“Shut up. I watched The Little Mermaid. I know all about Poseidon.”
“She looks like a horse.”
“I’m pretty sure that twelve year old is on fire.”
“You probably shouldn’t insult a god’s dick, even if it is very small.”
“Yes, I am the ugly bitch.”
“Bitch, not my twink ass.”
“Furries and twinks have a very similar but shallow dating pool.”
“I can infer from your wide variety of plant ex-lovers that you go to the forest a lot to masturbate and cry.”
“And now on to my favorite Greek myth: Percy Jackson.”
“Like all great heroes, he came from a pussy.”
“I think this calls for a story. It goes like this: Since the beginning of time, the gods liked messing everything up.”
“They threw a temper tantrum, so I sent my kid away to live alone in the mountains.”
“When your husbands cheats on you that much, you should consider marriage counseling. Killing the mistress isn’t proper therapy.”
“I’m coming to learn that only hanging out with ghosts has it’s side effects.”
“Whenever there are Zodiacs, Ted Cruz is sure to follow.”
“If Percy Jackson has taught me anything, it’s that the gods kind of suck.”
“Does Olympus have an Olive Garden?”

“No, Jacobi is not to be told. If he figures it out on his own I’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.” Yes, Daniel would be upset Warren tried keep this from him, tried to keep him safe but- damn it why couldn’t Daniel realize he was doing the best he could for everyone. “I trust Daniel with more than my life but I can’t trust you with his.”
You barely trust yourself with his life, that little voice in his head reminded him. He wormed his way into your life and now you can’t imagine it without him.
“I would advise you to not get into the habit of underestimating Marcus Cutter. If you say he doesn’t know then it’s best to act like he has at least an inkling of an idea.” Too many people underestimated Mr. Cutter, too many people lost more than just their lives.
A flash of hurt flickered across Kore’s expression, but she forced herself to push the feeling away. No matter how much she liked them-- and she did genuinely like them, strange as they may be-- these mortals, she reminded herself, were not her friends. And she did not need them to be. They were too... fragile. To get attached in the short time she was here would only hurt her in the long run. Better to play Kepler’s game and let things run their course in that distant way of theirs.
“Fine. Suit yourself. At least this way, if something goes wrong, I know exactly who to blame.”
She put down her drink and motioned for the colonel to come stand before her. Kore forced herself to move forward, no longer bracing herself against the wall. Her breath hitched slightly and her vision spun, but her spine held her weight. She still ached, but she could feel that almost all the broken parts of her were nearly healed. In half an hour or so, it would be as though nothing had happened at all.
“Come here, colonel.”
revelations || kepler & kore
(for @longstoryshcrt based on this)
Kore lay on her bed, curled up on one side where the colonel had left her, and waited.
Everything ached.
Her temple still throbbed violently, though the wound that should have killed her had already started to knit itself together some minutes ago. She could feel her ribcage adjusting, broken bones re-aligning themselves in her chest as she struggled to breathe. Her face and the collar of her uniform were still smeared with ichor. Her whole body shook. The vision of the transmitting tower swinging down to meet her filled her mind, and she could almost feel herself being dragged helplessly along the outside of the Haephestus. See Kepler silhouetted by the star. Kepler…
The door opened quietly, and there he was. Kore forced herself to sit up, but the motion made her sway dangerously, and she barely managed to catch herself on the back wall and steady herself. She watched as the colonel locked the door. Watched his face, his eyes, but found herself unable to read them. And when the silence became too much, the goddess gestured for the man to take a seat.
“You can ask.”
Warren was speechless for a moment, something that never happened. She was so… It didn’t last long as her words registered in his brain. ‘Swear by that which you hold dearest.’ Daniel’s face was brought forth instantly. Swear on…
“No.” The word was cold and final, he would not give his word in the way she asked. Even as merely a symbolic act that was too much. “I am not in the habit of giving people more than they need to know and I don’t go back on my word, but that is as much as I am willing to give you.
No one will learn anything from me, and if you’re worried about people figuring it out as long as you don’t bleed on them no one will have any reason to doubt you are what and who you say you are.” His gaze never waivered from Kore’s. No, he would not swear on the dearest thing to him but he would keep her secret, there was no reason not to.
“Jacobi has to-“ Warren began but stopped. Has to what? Be told? If Cutter found out anyone who knew but said nothing would be… “If Cutter sets aside his alien obsession long enough and figures you out then anyone he learns knew and said nothing will be in more danger than you can imagine, Daniel has to, above all others up here, never find out about this.”
It was too late now to take back these words, this glimpse into the part of him he kept hidden, but Warren didn’t know if he wanted to even though they were to him an unnecessarily open and vulnerable addition in any other circumstance.
Ah. There it was. Persephone’s eyes narrowed, and for a long moment, she was silent.
“Your word is not enough,” the Iron Queen replied. Then her expression softened. “But I understand. To swear by those you love is no small thing.” And now that she knew what that was, it was the same as if he had sworn. And they both knew it.
She considered Kepler for another moment, then finally took a sip of the whiskey he had offered her. “You and Jacobi both would be safer under my protection. Keep my secret, I’ll make you my champions, and I’ll make sure neither of you suffer any earthly reprisals while you keep your word. Even if something happens to me, so long as you keep your word, no harm will come to you. If you break it... well... Cutter won’t be able to touch you. But my family will. ... You trust him... Jacobi. Don’t you? I could keep him safe. Do you think he would keep my secret?”

“You can ask.”
“Don’t strain yourself. Would you like a drink?” Warren didn’t bother waiting for Officer Kore’s answer, it didn’t matter anyways. He poured whiskey into two glasses and placed one beside her, examining the amber liquid in his own glass against the light he sat down.
Warren Kepler didn’t like surprises, never had, but Kore was just full of them. He had been painfully aware that his officer was selectively knowledgeable but he had chalked it up to being sheltered, what happened earlier that ‘day’ might have just blown that explanation out of the water. The colonel kept his face an impartial mask, his voice was like ice the next time he spoke. There was no room for emotions right now, there was just answers to be found. He could worry about everything else later.
“Explain.”
She picked up the glass, but did not drink. Instead she leaned her back against the wall and started to examine her hands. She felt sick. What would he do to her once he knew? What would he say?
“I am Persephone,” she told him, softly. She kept her eyes on the glass, and her fingers, finding it easier to keep her focus on something small as the rest of the room spun dangerously around her. “And when I say that… I assume you are an intelligent enough man to understand that what I mean is I am the Greek goddess of Spring, and that I rule the realm of Hades alongside my husband.” Kore forced herself to look at him then, careful to keep her expression as blank as possible, except for the pain which she found no point in concealing.
“I came to your world… the mortal world, because I am no longer safe on Mount Olympus. My mother is the goddess Demeter. She’s opposed my marriage from the beginning and recently she discovered… Hades and I were never properly married in the eyes of our ancient rites… And with things the way they are between them-… my father, Zeus, feared the possibility of war. So he made contact with some of his demi-god progeny, and had me sent here, to Goddard Futuristics.”
She met Kepler’s eyes. “No one,” she said, “Not Cutter, or Jacobi, or any of the Haephestus crew knows who or what I am. You are the only one. If people knew-… I’ve seen enough of your organization to know what will be done to me. And my only family who know where I am are my father, and my sister Eris. And now that you know… I suppose I’m not safe here either. Unless you keep your silence.”
“I see.” Warren sighed deeply and pinched the bridge of his nose, he had let no emotions escape as he listened to her story. Fortunately or unfortunately this did explain a lot, little oddities fell neatly into place and large ones as well. The colonel drained his glass and poured himself another- larger portion but did not drink. He would compartmentalize the situation for now, he would work on the enormity of the situation and his own- feelings about this later.
Cutter not knowing anything was interesting and very dangerous, if he found out and discovered Warren knew and didn’t mention it… Warren started at the comforting amber liquid. The way the light hit it made Kore’s- or was it Persephone’s form reflect blurrily back at him. There wasn’t really a debate about what he should do.
Warren took a sip of his drink and looked at his officer, his expression falling into a more natural relaxed state. The differences were subtle but they were there.
“Mr. Cutter has never shown much interest in mythology and I see no reason he should start now.”
Persephone blinked. Of all the responses she had prepared herself for, this immediate acceptance was not one of them. She searched his face, uncertain and suddenly worried. Kepler was by far one of the most perceptive mortals on board this ship, and what he had seen of her today was technically enough to explain his behavior... but what if it wasn’t? Had she been so obvious that her story could simply be believed, without question? And what if the others? Would they be able to put things together just as easily? She would have to be more careful moving forward.
“Do you mean that?” she asked. That he understood, she had no doubts. That he would stay silent...
“Warren,” she kept her eyes fixed on his, and for a moment, let the mask slip. To show herself, her full, truest self, would have killed him in an instant, but she gave him enough of a glimpse to assure him of the reality of the goddess underneath. What exactly he would see in her in that moment, Persephone didn’t know. But he would see her.
“I need your help. Your protection. Your silence... I need you to swear it to me. That you will aid me, and you will not betray me by speaking of this to anyone. Under any circumstance. Swear by that which you hold dearest. I need to know I can trust you.”

“The trouble with school is they always try to teach the wrong lesson.”
“Now that we’ve met one another, its clear we deserve we deserve each other.”
“I hope you’ll save at least one dance for me. I’ll be right there. Waiting. All night.”

She heard her sister’s voice, even in her dreams. The drugs made everything feel sluggish… heavy… fogging her mind and keeping the goddess in a state of almost constant sedation. There were moments, brief, painful, and terrifying, when she was semiconscious and she could feel them inside of her… needles, and hands, and scalpels… scraping, and tearing, and cutting, twenty-four hours a day… All the tools she had learned to use over the past few years, suddenly turned on her, as though she were nothing more than a plant to be sampled from… a germ…
She had prayed. From the moment the men had come, dragging her from the Urania the instant the shuttle had touched the ground, she had prayed. She couldn’t see Kepler, or Jacobi, or any of the others. But she had fought, like a wild, caged thing, forgetting her cover, trying to push out against the hands of the men as they struggled to beat her into submission. Then came the needle… the first of many… and the darkness that would not let her go…
She cried in her sleep, but did not wake. Her unconscious mind screamed wordlessly into the void, her fingertips twitching reflexively on the cold lab bench as she reached out, searching…
Eris heard her. And Eris, ever faithful, ever valiant, answered.
Persephone heard her sister’s voice, even as she dreamed.
“I will take back what is mine, and kill anyone who stands in my way.”
Not a warning. Just a statement of fact, before the screaming started.
She strained to wake, but couldn’t. Tried to move, and couldn’t. She simply lay there, oblivious to all but her sister’s nearness, and the screaming, dying men whose voices echoed in her hazy, shapeless dreams… Everything ached…
Then came her sister’s arms around her. The lifting of the fog. And pain, the full, unbearable force of it that left her gasping and shaking, unable to speak as Eris kissed the tears away from her face.
“You’re alright… Shhh, you’re alright little one. I’ve got you… I’ll protect you. They can’t hurt you anymore. Never again. Never again, I promise… Shhh… You’re safe now. I’m here. Nothing can hurt you now.”
