Yeah, and who out of the two of them was more naive? "Hephaestus exists. So do the other gods. I thought you’d know that, seeing as you’re immortal. I mean, Hera posed as my babysitter for a while. She wasn’t good at it. It was probably the only job she could get.” The goddess had put him in a lit fireplace, let him play with knives, and had generally been a bad influence. "In fact, I know a son of Hades. He’s a super creep like you. But I’m guessing you’re from a completely different universe than mine if you don’t even know about the other gods.”

Ah, the stupidity of humans. They would believe in anything anyone told them-- obviously including the likes of false gods. "Shall we assume your Hephaestus is real, then? Of what does he rule?" Leo's next words would be offensive if Hades hadn't already become very much immune to such insults. 'Super creep' was considerably mild compared to other things he'd been called by humans, really. "The immortal have little reason to reproduce. Much less so with humans. Should this child again claim to be mine, have him brought to me. Slain."

"Fruit flies aren’t too bad," he dismissed easily. "Hey, I’m not just gonna accuse you of being immortal! You kept skirting around the subject. Last god I offended tried to kill me. And failed." He added that last part almost childishly. “You’re a little different than I imagined you.” Takes a breath, posing as nonchalantly as he can manage. “I’m Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus, mechanic supreme! And nah. My kingdom.”

"Quite true. I rather like fruit flies. They leave my corpses undisturbed and rarely live longer than a single day on Earth." He folded his arms over his chest. "Hmm? Do I not look immortal to you? I think my appearance is quite fearsome. As a god's should." Hades looks the other over, noting how increasingly uncomfortable he was becoming. "Hephaestus... Is he not but an imagined god? Humans do have a flair for the dramatic and wild imaginations. 'Hephaestus' does not exist."

“Shades?” That came out a little too high-pitched. "Uh, I mean, shades? Yeah! Cool! But that means you are a monster, right? Or a god or something? Cause, like, I’ve gotten pretty good at noticing when people are or aren’t mortal. And dude, you’re not." A pause. "Still, no way. I already claimed this place. Find your own kingdom."

moiraio

"Your intelligence must match that of a lowly fruit fly. I am a god, and you have not fled in fear. I am Hades, the king of the shadows, the god of death." He drew out his last few words for emphasis, leaving a short pause before speaking again. "This is my kingdom."

#princeofmachines #i'd be surprised thei whole conversation hasn't been awkwardly talking about nothing #but they're fighting over whose kingdom citta is #so i think that counts sakjdnvs #a gorgeous representation of social skills

"See, that’s the thing. You don’t look like a monster. You’re just kind of creepy, man.” He said this in as nice a way that he could manage — meaning it was inconsiderate and pretty blunt. "And no way. I ain’t sharing a kingdom with anyone."

moiraio

"No? Shame." His tone could be described as somewhat disappointed, but he was glad that the other thought he was at least creepy. "'Tis sad you think so. I was looking forward to claiming this place as my new kingdom. The shades alone will not suffice when there are so many potential subjects, you see?"

#princeofmachines #YEAH at least he's got better social skills than hades #.......which still isn't much of an improvement #but it's there

"Goodness, that’s quite a morbid thing to say, isn’t it? Do you have some sort of issue with oxygen absorption?~"

moiraio

"Yes, 'tis the truth. So long as the humans draw breath, they are not my subjects. And so long as humans are not my subjects, they remain useless."

GO AWAY

“Make me.”

The creepy dude’s choice of words didn’t go unnoticed. “Don’t tell me you’re a monster or something? I’ve had enough of those. There’s nothing wrong with being human. And yeah, as a matter of fact, it’s definitely against the law to leer at people for no reason in Leo Land.”

moiraio

"Do you truly think my appearance horrific enough to resemble a 'monster'? 'Twould be naught but common words. And I believe this place is as much your kingdom as it is mine, Leo."

feels like death // ca intro

Nothing about the city was quite like the god was accustomed to. The lights, the technology, the life... It was all so blindingly new to Hades that he hardly knew how to react. No one here seemed afraid of his appearance, nor did they even recognize him. Not even his inhuman characteristics left a lasting impression on the mortals. Undoubtedly this was due to the stunning amount of unique creatures he had already witnessed within his first day in the new environment. The god would have to forget about the dank shades he was accustomed to ruling and adjust to such a life, and fast.

And what better way to adjust than to make new friends? Hades had certainly not been one for friends, even if his brothers counted as more than creatures who happened to be related to him. He doubted they did. Back in his kingdom and on Earth, no one at all was particularly fond of him. But in the end, that really made their inevitable demise all the more exciting.

Hades lurked through the crowds, noticed as often as a common shadow, despite his horrific appearance. He took his time in choosing a specific victim-- one whose screams would be memorable and whose decomposing flesh would leave a delightful first impression. His leer held on his chosen prey, his footfalls silent and he closed the distance between them. It was only mere seconds from then until his furred hands snaked around their neck, his claws scraping lightly across their flesh. In an instant Hades had pulled them near enough for his chest to be against their back before letting his hands return to his sides, but not without letting them linger far more than necessary against the person's throat.

Perhaps the crowds wandering the streets hadn't noticed that Hades had stopped walking. He preferred to think, however, that they were simply paying him and his new friend stranger no mind. It was nothing short of the reaction the god had expected. Humans were remarkably predictable, even hundreds of years from Hades' time. He leaned forward and rested his chin on his companion's shoulder, his horns and ears without a doubt coming into contact with the other's head. Not that he cared, of course.

"Tell me, friend," The final word of his sentence was spoken in a tone harsh enough that it could be taken more for an insult than a kind nickname. Despite their closeness, Hades' disrespect for mortals was shining through as clear as day. "Is this place to your liking?"

"Oooookay." Now he was really started to remind Leo of a certain creeptacular son of Hades. "You should work on not leering at people so intensely. And also, I don’t have any immediate plans to stop breathing, so no. Not at all." Slowly starts stepping away.

moiraio

"'Twas not a leer, human." Now he's definitely leering on purpose. Look what you did. "'Twas but me observing the livestock. Is there something so unlawful about that?"

#princeofmachines #smooches your face uwu

princeofmachines

"Dude."

The guy gave Leo the creeps. "Uh, more like it’s freaking awesome that so many of us are breathing, right?”

moiraio

"Hm." He stared Leo down for a while, if only to unnerve him. "So long as they are breathing, they are of no use to me. 'Twould only be logical to succumb to an inevitable fate soon, would it not?"
