"Apollo’s shoulders slumped. He could stagger back down and become yet another casualty of the Great Disaster. Or he could go back to his empty apartment in the city and wallow for the rest of his life. Neither sounded appealing. But Apollo was dying anyway. Right now, he was just doing it slow." After the Great Disaster took Apollo's partner, Percy, and left him stranded in the Hellmouth for weeks, Apollo struggles with pulling himself out of that pit of trauma and grief. Until one day he decides he's had enough and ventures back down into the Pit to find the monster that killed Percy. Alone. At least, he'd like it to be a solo mission. The Titan Wren-6 seems determined to not let him go alone, and Apollo reluctantly acquiesces. Nothing matters as long as the monster dies, right?

atheon, oryx and rhulk for apollo. :business:

Bel when I get you.

[ atheon ] - if your muse could change anything in their past, what would they change? would they change anything?

Apollo has really complicated feelings about this one, because yeah Percy dying sucked and he didn't deserve what happened to him, but if none of that happened he wouldn't know any of the people he knows now. but then he starts feeling really bad about even entertaining the notion that Percy should stay dead even if he could do something about it and then he forgets about the water he was boiling on the stove because he's been staring out the window thinking about this in circles. in conclusion: come back with a warrant.

[ oryx ] - who matters most in your muse's life? does your muse let them know that?

CRICKET it's always been Cricket ever since he was rezzed. You can love Cricket but you will never love her as much as Apollo does. He absolutely does let her know though he used to struggle with actually talking about his feelings when he was younger. He buys her every shell she even implies she wants and painted the ceiling of his room for her because he knows she loves stars. they are platonic soulmates in every sense of the word.

[ rhulk ] - what, or who, would your muse devote themself to unquestioningly? would they die for that cause, or is there nothing?

I can't see Apollo devoting himself fully for a cause or ideology or anything, he prefers to take things as they come (unless you count hating Hive as cause, in which case he would absolutely die for it). BUT I can see him devote himself to a person unquestioningly. Percy might have been that for him, once, but for now there isn't anyone like that in his life.

sanctified mind and taniks?

thanks for the ask!! I'll do Apollo again for these :)

[ sanctified mind ] - what flower represents your muse best?

I just looked up a list of flower meanings and chose one in like 5 minutes but from what I looked through I think a red carnation would suit him :)

[ taniks ] - what is your muse's legacy? what will people remember them for? what do they want to be remembered for?

Apollo has no clue what he'll be remembered for because for him he feels like he hasn't accomplished much despite how long he's lived. He's not too concerned with how he's remembered. He just hopes he's remembered at all if/when he dies for the last time.
