   “Whoa, are those bags callisto or what?  You look terrible, sir!     What happened this time? Wait, don’t tell me, I know this one!”

Placing an arm around the poor Lord of the Dead himself, the carefree Sleep tapped his pursed lips in thought. With an ‘err’ and ‘ahh’, he pondered loudly.

   “Ah! I got it! Hercules! You had another run in with Hercules, didn’t you! Was it before or after trying and failing to take down Lord Zeus? Am I close at all? Hot or cold?”

They’d kept the lights low and the blankets piled high. The movie, or show or whatever was left to Marjorie herself. No doubt that she’d know exactly what the best to put on for their first night together in ages. Never mind the details. As long as the impression was there, Sleep could string something together.

No warning necessary, she pulled Marjorie in close with a breath huffed through her nose; restrained laughter that was best kept in. With her sister tucked in close, she shimmied into their little nest of sorts and got comfortable. Buried in soft fabrics, the scent of warm dust pervaded the air.

Was this fine? Was this enough? She shifted to get a look at Marjorie’s face and she held her closely in her lap. The light from their TV screen changed the colours of her locks and pajamas with the changing scenes.

When Hypnos is asleep, Atë puts a rubber ducky on his clipboard and leaves.

The not-a-shade speaks  ||  unprompted

As he jumped up in shock (thank you random shade for the wake up call) and in turn flipped the bird (duck) into the air, sending it spinning upwards, then down again (as things usually go). As the toy hit the floor with a bounce, both Sleep Incarnate and the duck let out a loud squeak, earning the attention of surrounding Shades and the Master alike.

   Hypnos! Enough fooling around and get back to work!

Lord Hades slammed his fist into his table and Hypnos was left apologising sheepishly as he picked up the little ducky off the tiling. Darn. In trouble again. Where did this little friend come from and why was it here? He couldn’t say! But Hypnos would keep it with him until after his now extended shift as it was probably abandoned and no one had come asking for it. Poor thing.

@musegrimoire​  ||  cont. dusa it’s not worth it....

   “Oh no no, this happens all the time! I’ll be just fine. When I fall asleep funny, don’t move around much, or stop using my legs for an extended period of time...”

When was the last time he stretched or walked? Gods, he couldn’t even remember. Must have been a month at least. How long has be processing this queue? Feels like forever.

   “I’ll just wait it out. I ignore it for long enough, it’ll go away!”

( @obolpurged​ ) Charon scribbles an orb of purple in middle of his person, with some coming out of the mouth.

Maybe if he got rid of that purple core, he wouldn’t be unhappy? Charon must be so upset if it’s manifesting outside of his mouth! Well, into the box it goes!

   “Ga-gong! It is I, definitely Thanatos. And I love my brother Hypnos very much.”

   “Haha, just kidding! He’d never say that. Welcome to the House of Hades! Where everyone cares deeply about sleep and has healthy coping mechanisms for all of their problems! Enjoy your stay! Complaints go in the box on the left!”

journal entry  ||  two very different kinds of people.....

The shades don’t queue.

I don’t know what to do. The shades don’t queue. Haven’t tried but I don’t think they want to? The disorganised mess doesn’t cause me distress, But it’s funny, I get the feeling that Dusa now likes me less.

XX / XX / XXXX

I don’t know what to do. I keep going back and forth on this. I’ve asked Nyx and Dusa and got answers that leave the decision back to me. I know that I’m the one that needs to that that step forward, and I want to. I think I want to. But it would be nice to hear someone else say it for me. Then maybe I’ll find that I actually disagree and I can get on with my life.

But it’s been this long already. I hate waiting. I hate being in this emotional limbo. Nothing I’ve done, nothing I do is helping. I want to put myself out of this misery already it’s so frustrating.

He gave me an opportunity, I should just take it. I swear I’ll go insane otherwise. If I end up regretting it then so be it. Blood and darkness.
