Eris ☠ Changmin || chance encounter

He bolted down the street hoping that he could get somewhere that he could be safe, he knew he wasn’t supposed to exist or be part of this mortal realm and here was the one person who could actually point him out of a crowd and have any power over him. He wasn’t one to show fear either yet in this situation where things could turn to the worst he didn’t restrain his emotions as he muttered obscenities to himself as he fled.

He spotted a cab and was about to hail for it but suddenly he heard it. The crackle of glass and the surge of power he was all too familiar with and with a single blink a shower of glass rained down upon him and the people near him. He still tried to make a run for it but the shards on the ground seemed to land in a manner only someone like himself would want them and as the rain of sharpened glass cut into him from above a larger piece cut through the bottom of his shoe bringing him to the ground.

He laid there for a moment wide-eyed and still terrified of what was to come. He had no explanation. He knew he wasn’t supposed to be here. What would she do to him? What would she ask? Would she simply toy with him? He turned his head as his eyes were now their golden color as he saw who was trying to avoid approaching him.

She watched on as her feet carried her down the street, closing the distance between them, as he was brought down to the ground. It had worked.

She couldn't even revel in the success as she drew nearer, her feet slowing as her breath came in winded pants. Her mahogany tresses were wind strewn from her run and wide brown eyes locked onto him. Even from such a distance she could feel his presence.

Where the glass had showered him and made small cuts in his skin trailed thin lines of blood with the biggest wound being no doubt his foot. Not even a pang of guilt rang through her as she took slow steps towards him, one by one. It was as if she were in a trance of her own. Had a nearby passerby not stopped her from stepping her bare feet on the glass she surely would not have ceased her advance until she was nearly upon him but here was close enough.

She could see him clearly, those golden eyes catching her attention.

Even though there were many strangers around them and clad in her attire, they already thought her ill but from the moment she began to speak it was a wonder they hadn't called the police on her.

"What are you? Why do you feel like me?" The questions came loud enough for her usually small voice to carry, a conviction behind them that morphed them to demand an answer.

Her usually expressionless doll-like features were now twisted in a mix between anger at the patronizing voices telling her to 'back away from the glass' and to 'calm down' and utter confusion. With her eyes locked on him, she jerked her arm from a nearby woman who'd tried to calm her, her voice raising. She was confused and perhaps even a bit scared and it only angered her further.

"Answer me!" The outburst was further enforced by the orchestra of car alarms starting up from every car resting idle on the street, her eyes never leaving him.

Eris ☠ Jaejoong || family matters

Finally.

The words that made her feel that the three months she'd spent wasting her time with the humans was not a complete and utter waste of her time had made it to her ears.

 Organized fighting.

This city was damn near crime free in the way nothing exciting ever seemed to come the goddess' way. After hearing all the tales of what violent idiotic brutes humans were, she figured she'd have much more to enjoy down here among them than in Olympus listening to the goddesses bicker over trivial matters such as which one meant more to her father or who was the most beautiful.

Sure the fighting as a sport would not be nearly as raw as the battlefield but it was a great distraction for a bored goddess of chaos.

She'd happened upon a poster stapled crudely to a telephone pole on one of her late night walks she took so often. The night calmed her and more often than not she allowed her dainty feet to warm the snow beneath neatly polished toes and leave small footprints in her wake in a brisk winter night walk.

On sight, a gleeful laugh had stole from her lush lips, the poster depicting two rather beaten men attempting a bout at one another, and her hands had clapped together.

It read as entertainment for her.

Her usually expressionless doll-like features now glowed with a child like happiness as she took off down the snow strewn sidewalk, the poster flapping in the wind in the grasp of her small hand much like the hem of her spring dress fluttered around her bare legs. The moon was high in the sky, her milky features accentuated as her mahogany tresses glistened in the forgiving moonlight.

Giving small giddy hops and jumps into nearby snow banks in her joy, she made her way towards this gym where they made promises of fights to be remembered for all of the century. Perhaps she could catch a tooth? Would a bone be broken tonight? A concussion would even send her into the laughter she'd almost lost.

The show was starting soon and she wanted a front row seat.

Chanyeol ☠ Hyeri || drop dead.

The night in Seoul was so peaceful. Only the passing of cars or the lone heels of a woman clomping on the sidewalk as she made her way home could be heard, the wind rustling the trees and offsetting the light from the moon that stood high and proud in the clear night sky. Even in the heart of the concrete jungle one could have a clear view of the waxing moon, the sight creating an almost effervescent romantic air cast about the city.

The goddess loathed the silence of it all. It was too peaceful. Too calm. How can one city have such a low crime rate? Even a petty robbery or mugging would give her the excitement she was looking for but not even the thieves were out to play tonight it seemed. The police cars rolled past on the lazy late night patrols and even the officers inside seemed to be craving a bit of hectic action to liven up the otherwise dull night.

Padding along the snow strewn sidewalk, Eris' bare feet left footprints in the powdered ice, her powder blue toenails standing out among the snow banks, the moonlight illuminating her pale, milky skin and accentuating her silken mahogany colored hair. Her white sundress hung from her small, voluptuous body, her steps dainty and careless as she swayed from one side of the sidewalk to the other in an endless zig zag along the street.

She was truly bored.

A little bit of chaos would do. A little bit of despair. False hope even. She needed something to catch her attention and give her the joy she so desperately craved but alas it seemed quite unlikel--

Ah! What was that? Her head shot up straight, her frame pausing in the middle of the sidewalk as she listened hopefully.

Sirens in the distance. Ambulance sirens!

A rather wide smile broke across her usually expressionless doll like features. Almost jumping for joy in her giddy state, she skipped a little and twirled in endless circles, the hem of the sundress flowing gracefully around her.

An ambulance!

"Oh I wonder what it could be." She mused happily to herself, light brown eyes lit up in joy. "A stabbing? Perhaps they were shot! Oh I do hope they make it for me to see in time!"

She giggled rather gleefully, a rather child like sound flowing past her rouge red lips, and without another second spared, she darted off towards the hospital, the building just in her sight as the ambulance swerved the corner dangerously fast.

The red swirling lights and blaring alarm only excited her more and as her dainty feet kicked up snow behind her as she ran, she squealed rather happily.

There was discord in this quiet night after all.
