PERSEPHONE penned by RICHIE for THEGODS-RPG.
DEAD OF SPRING. introduction. wanted. tag drop.
CLOSED for @mountebanks ft AMPHITRITE
poppy leaned against the doorway of alon’s room with her hands tucked into the pockets of her overalls. she tried not to think of the lean lines of his body when she slipped his shirt off the last time that they had seen each other, attempted to suppress thoughts that were directly CONTRADICTORY to what she was here to say. ❛ we’re ... still best friends, right ? we can still be best friends. ❜
LUCKYHERMES ft HERMES
hermes leaned against her counter, the familiarity of it settling something in him. “oh fun gossip huh? i don’t know if you’d like my gossip,” he teased, placing his hand under his chin. “a party? is there a plus one can i go? or maybe you already have a date planned?” wiggling his eyebrows at her, he laughed.
she crinkled her nose with amusement and shook her head slightly. ❛ as long as it isn't TOO scandalous. ❜ poppy liked her gossip but sometimes she felt bad about it, if it could genuinely HURT the people involved. she chuckled quietly at his question. ❛ no, there are no dates on the horizon. and i'm sure no one would complain if i snuck you in with me. ❜
CLOSED for @deliciaedilecti ft DAPHNE
a bouquet was tucked underneath her arm as poppy walked down the street, a colorful array that she was taking home to put on her kitchen table. LUCKILY, it had survived the bus ride with minimal squishing and the flowers were bright as could be. she pulled a beautiful white tulip carefully from the bunch and gently twirled the stem. glancing over at a woman who had fallen into step with her a little while back, there was not a HINT of shyness to her as she offered up the bud. ❛ i think this one suits you. ❜
CLOSED for @mind-the-minthe ft MINTHE
❛ no, no, ❜ poppy shook her head, stepping in front of dima and paying for both of their coffees before he could make another move for his wallet. ❛ i invited you out, so it’s MY treat, yeah ? ❜ she gave her friend a bright smile.
THEAPHRODITEA ft APHRODITE
Tea seemed to melt at the mention of a girl with soft jock energy. “She couldn’t possibly be as cute as you,” she responded regardless of the mental image in her mind. In no universe would Aphrodite be capable of not flirting with her friends and Persephone was stunning. Now and in all universes the woman had been known for her stunning appearance, no doubt enhanced by her personality.
“Fine, C, for you, show off how much nicer you are than me,” Tea teased, not genuinely trying to imply Poppy was somehow trying to belittle her as the woman working on her nails twisted her hand to the side to shave down some of the acrylic that had been applied. There was no way Poppy had that in her personality. “Has anyone been able to make you smile lately?” she asked curiously.
poppy shook her head slightly, giving her an embarrassed smile. ❛ please, tea, don’t make me blush. if we start this up now, i’ll spend all day telling you how gorgeous you are. ❜ were you REALLY close friends if you did not flirt at least a little ? she did not think so. besides, tea made it incredibly easy ; she was absolutely stunning.
she giggled at the teasing, nose crinkling as she did. ❛ i can be the sugar and you can be the spice, ❜ she offered up as a joking compromise. it DID sound a bit as if they were in a band or building a brand, but it worked rather well. ❛ there might be someone who i had a little thing with just the other day, ❜ she admitted after a moment. ❛ but i don’t think it’s going to turn into anything serious. what about you, though ? any new athletes in your life ? ❜
WORSTNEMESIS ft NEMESIS
“Of course not.” While she would have let any stranger sit next to her, unable to really concentrate on much else, Nemesis found this particular guest a fortunate sight, or perhaps less fortunate due to the exact nature of her relationship with the other to be unknown. She looked over to the empty seat before letting a hand dwell over it. “You got on during a busy time, didn’t you?”
❛ thank you ! ❜ poppy smiled brightly at nemesis as she sat down beside her, feeling slightly relieved. her new company at least seemed friendly enough ; she was determined that the ride would be a pleasant one. ❛ apparently, yeah. i’m not used to it being so crowded, but this is a little bit later than i normally take it. ❜
THEHOUNDOF ft CERBERUS
Deep Affections || Persephone&Cerberus
Cerberus had told herself she wasn’t going to approach Persephone, that when she’d found her working at the flower shop she simply needed to observe and protect. Hades had to be the one to speak with her first because if anyone was going to jolt her back to her memories it would be him but the puppy was weak. Her run in with Heracles had reminded her of how much she missed the God’s presence however, her kindness helping her through the darkest portion of her existence until this curse had come. It was selfish, more selfish than she knew she should be, but all she wanted was to feel Persephone’s arms around her.
So she gave in.
The scent of various flowers overwhelmed the woman as she stepped inside, much more used to the various aftershaves of Hades men and the vape liquids that filled the club. This smelled like her though, floral and overwhelmingly comforting, and as luck would have it she was the only one in the store, perhaps because it was so early in the morning, most had not even risen, let alone had their morning coffee. Cerberus allowed her boots to carry her to the counter, dressed so contrastingly to how she had been with Heracles. The slim fitting dress she wore only for Narcissus, or Ambrose as he called himself now, was replaced with cargo pants and a tank top, covered by a leather jacket.
“Poppy?” she asked, picking up a business card from the counter. It didn’t have the same ring as Persephone but it suited.
@persephonefm
poppy had come in especially early today to sort through a new shipment of flowers -- she preferred to grow them herself, but that was not always feasible. she was practically buried in petals in a back room as she ensured that each and every bud was carefully tended to. she had thought that she would be left without customers for awhile, but quickly moved to disentangle herself as the bell on the door rang and someone called her name.
she fixed a friendly smile onto her face as she smoothed down her bright yellow pinafore and stepped out to greet her visitor. ❛ that’s me ! how can i help you ? ❜ she had a feeling that something was WRONG, but she did not want to make the other woman uncomfortable with personal questions from someone that she did not know.
CLOSED for @artemisofthewild ft ARTEMIS
poppy knelt down to pet the big dog that bounded up to her on the sidewalk, cooing as she indulgently scratched behind his ears. ❛ aren’t you just the cutest thing ? ❜ she looked up when his owner approached, giving the woman a broad smile. ❛ your dog’s an absolute angel. ❜
LUCKYHERMES ft HERMES
hermes blew out a long breath. he knew hades would be on his ass more if he didn’t walk into this flower shop today so he didn’t have a choice. truth be told, he missed persephone. he didn’t want to come face to face with another lost friend. but he needed to do this. plastering a smile on his face, he entered the shop, giving the ex-goddess the charming grin. “hello hello. maybe i did. but i would love to hear your ideas.”
she could not quite say what had initially drawn her to him, could not describe the lingering feeling of familiarity, but hermes had quickly become a close friend again. perhaps some things were just meant to be. ❛ i’d take anything, honestly -- fun gossip, new trouble you got into. ❜ she knew him well. ❛ i have an invite for a party friday that i’m looking forwards to ! ❜
CLOSED for @worstnemesis ft NEMESIS
poppy surveyed the packed bus with a frown -- she had no idea WHY it would be so busy today, and she did not see a single free seat that was not right next to a stranger. approaching the first single woman that she saw, she offered her a polite, friendly smile. ❛ hi ! sorry to bother, do you mind if i sit with you ? ❜ there was no recognition of the elder goddess to be found in her dark eyes.
CLOSED for @luckyhermes ft HERMES
poppy leaned on the counter, her nails clacking lightly as she drummed her fingers on the smooth stone. it was a slow day in the flower shop -- she had done all of the straightening and preparation that she could think to do, and she had grown bored of scrolling through instagram to burn time. but she brightened considerably as the door swung open and the bell chimed, perking up. ❛ h ! hello, love. tell me you have something fun on your mind ? ❜ she gave him a broad smile, eyes pleading.
THEAPHRODITEA ft APHRODITE
Nail Day || Persephone&Aphrodite
Aphrodite placed the heated espresso down next to her, pen between two fingers, while her opposing hand remained in the grasp of the woman working on her nails. The false almond shape now added to them made her already soft and elegant fingers appear more slender and delicate. “Okay, so the next question is, ‘what quality matters most to you? A, That they live at the gym, B, That they’ve got a fat wallet, C, That they know how to make you laugh, D, That they have a degree’,” Tea read from the magazine on her lap, doing the quiz for both herself and Poppy who was next to the young woman having her own nails done by a secondary nail tech.
“I hate that it’s always like rude if you say body or money, like ‘oh, I only care if they make me laugh.’ Some people aren’t fucking funny.” There was another pause as she assessed her own decision on the matter. “I’m totally saying gym, I can watch TV if I want to laugh and you don’t have to like be bulking, I am down for some yoga vibes. How about you, P?”
@persephonefm
poppy watched the technician work with satisfaction, relaxing in her seat. sometimes she needed a good day off, and a good nail day with her girl was perfect for that. she hummed as she considered her answer, tilting her head. ❛ gym’s definitely fair. i was talking to this girl the other day -- big soft jock energy, the CUTEST thing i’ve ever seen. ❜ she smiled, almost rueful. ❛ i gotta go with C, though. i think i need a little light in a partner, you know ? well, i’m cheery enough for two, but someone who can make me smile would be good. ❜ she had never been very lucky in love, yet she still had high hopes for the future.
Descriptions of Virginia Woolf from those who knew her, from “Ravenous Identity: Eating and Eating Distress in the Life and Work of Virginia Woolf” by Allie Glenny
“Those who knew [Virginia Woolf] for the most part remember her as ethereal, remote from her body …”
welcome to athens, PERSEPHONE ! it looks like they DO NOT remember their past life as a god. it is said that SHE has OPTIMISM but also IMPULSE. apparently they look like OMONO OKOJIE and they’re CIS FEMALE. ooc : richie, 22, they / them, est
