[genesisun]

He opens a magic panel that looks like a holographic tablet, in honesty. There was only so much he could do by himself, but Ra is , at least resourceful to use the more useful god around. Even if he is so minor as to be the god of everything small.

"Observe the humans through this, it is ...seeing their radio stations. See if any one of them has observed the phenomenon. if you can kill them, it would be better."

Honestly Ra opinion that all humans should die, is just frosting at this point. He hates humanity, hates how they easily turn back on their own creators.

"They are controls on the tablet to break their machines , do so if needed."

[tenth-god]

Hermes has to resist a put-upon sigh as he takes the tablet from the other; I don’t suppose it isn’t permitted, he doesn’t allow himself to note, merely flipping through the broadcasts; intermittent, though quiet. While he reveals not if he is one to go out of his way to keep humanity alive more than any other deity, to lose one’s life simply for bearing unfortunate witness to something of this sort is...

“But of course.” What he quite agrees to, though, only Hermes knows. “But I must admit, too, that I’d be quite shocked if any managed to witness anything through your Magic, my lord. The eyes of mortals are a bit too sensitive for all of this.”

Well, most were, but that was neither here nor there for the moment. Far too many were focused on just how much power—all the little scientific terms the mortals used, though also admittedly included, were coming through the tablet in bits and pieces even as Hermes spoke—the sun was currently emitting to worry about things like extraterrestrial creatures, anyways. The situation wasn’t likely to be of much of a real issue.

“Let us just hope things don’t change for the unexpected.”

(He hopes, especially, that he has not just jinxed their own luck.)

[helheimsovereign]

❝ ah, yes. i imagine his insistence is partly the reason for his curiosities. do tell him i wish him well. ❞ amusement dances within those eyes that still contain so many secrets and no one would be able to unveil them. not even the family he adores.

his sweet persephone is an exception—he did vow to be more open with her after all. nonetheless, his lips quirk into an amused smile; hermes himself had so many secrets and methods to gain information. simply intriguing at best.

❝ i assume poseidon remains unsociable and introverted as well? ❞

his tone meant no harm, it was simply a fact. he adores his brother despite his penchant for being grumpy and carrying disdain towards anything breathing within his general direction.

[tenth-god]

A laugh rises from him again; “But of course,” he acquiesces to Lord Hades’ instruction first, a brief bow of his head following after, “I shall do so upon my immediate return; to hear such kind words from you will make him quite happy, after all.

“Though, if my lord might allow me to be frank,” rising, then, Hermes continues on as if he’s relaying a particularly secretive message, “then I would dare to agree. Of course, while he does lament the inability to personally meet with you himself, I do believe his boundless curiousity entertains him too much, as well.”

As it stands, his Lord Father would likely feel bereft if he had no curiousity to sate at all; quite the shame that such a thing hinders the brothers’ ability to remain in consistent contact, Hermes can admit, but he dares not judge all the same. It isn’t as if he is any different, himself, after all.

His second Lord Uncle, however...

“Last he sent for me to deliver a message, Lord Poseidon was doing well. As for the rest...” He chuckles again. “Well, assuredly, he would prefer not having to interact with I—or others—for quite some time again.”

(The roundabout agreement isn’t truly needed, of course, and Hermes of course knew precisely how Lord Hades had meant the question—it’s simply his own way of doing things. What fun could be had if he answered anything so directly? Even with those superior to him, it was oft-more fulfilling to do so.)

And yet, the job of the Messenger is not one that hinders itself for personal preference; whether it be his own or otherwise. “Of course, if my lord would happen to be in need of relaying a message to him, despite, I would be honoured to pass it along. I quite doubt Lord Poseidon would deny anything once he hears it comes from you.”

Because even the most reclusive of the gods had someone in whom they looked up to; Hermes finds it quite the touching sentiment!

[salemshooter]

' who you callin' curious , pal ? i look like a monkey named george to you ?! '

[tenth-god]

“My, my, do forgive me~!” Hermes has to hold in the guffaw that threatens to leave him, endlessly and immediately entertained by the outburst—so the little creature knew not only how to speak, but to also be amusing! How truly wondrous it was to be able to make this discovery...!!

“I meant not to offend,” he continues on, “I’ve simply never seen one of your nature, before.” And it’s just soooo rare to surprise him—!

[tenth-god]

@salemshooter

“What a curious little creature...”

[genesisun]

Though Ra is one of the older gods, his birth equal to that of time and linear thinking. Equal only to cronos who has become a concept once again in some aspect, Ra is not one to actually do action until the situation becomes urgent for himself. For he will be the end of the world, and its new genesis no matter how many cycles it goes through.

Still-

"An alien being, has been trying to circle the sun, my sun for a moon cycle. Humanity is not ready for their intervention, hence I am trying to burn them away."

"Sound waves, radio, signals. All of it are being blocked by me. Humanity...needs improvement before they can even reach the stars."\

humanity is still in its disco era.

[tenth-god]

Ah, so that’s it.

“As I said, then, do forgive the intrusion,” Hermes bows his head once in apology, both genuine and mildly amused; the existence of these creatures has long been one of controversy, and not just amongst humanity. Being able to see what that which they can’t, though...

Well, stories for another time.

“Is there any assistance you need, though, sir?” Mere propriety sees him asking, as Hermes has no business here nor there in this matter—the domain isn’t his own, and all he was told to do was check—but if Lord Ra truly required anything, he felt inclined to permit the favour. Not that he ever would say it that way to the elder deity; still, apart from their initial introductions, as well as the many moons that followed, they’ve been getting along quite swimmingly these days. In the way that his Lordship showed such a thing, anyway, but Hermes can understand that which went unsaid; experience has taught him well.

“While I have no ability to deal with these creatures myself, perhaps there’s other ways in which I can help? Only if you so require it, of course—I dare not assume otherwise.”

[genesisun]

it seems that the sun god had found a bad day to be found. or rather there was something like close to a alien that was orbiting the sun that Ra attention was focusing on. truly something alien, something he needed to burn so-

"What is it."

it looks like he's doing nothing but right now he's using all his powers to make it look like the sun sort of exploded but not quiet to burnt he orbitting alien.

@tenth-god /

[tenth-god]

Hermes is doing his best to keep his expression neutral—really, all he’d been asked to do was see what the sun god was doing, not to intervene in any way (and neither would he wish to). Whatever this is that’s going on...well. It isn’t for him to get involved with, not any more than was necessary.

“...merely observation, my lord.” Tone careful, Hermes bows his head to the other, both in apology and in greeting. “Some of the other gods were, ah, curious about why your activity had spiked, just some moments ago, and asked me to be nosy in their stead. I’ll ask your forgiveness for intruding.”

Though he is also quite curious...he’d rather just not inquire too much.

[genesisun]

"Do you fear her? You know the only ones who suffer are the mortals who touch Zeus."

It is a repeated history, no woman has been scorned as hard as Hera. but no woman had such blowback to revenge as Hera, she could replace Nemesis as the goddess of revenge if need be. But he wisely keeps that notion to himself. For Hera has not harmed him yet.

"You are a true god of Zeus, wether she accepts or not. You have earned the right of divinity. The sun will provide protection should it come to blows with her."

"Another message... Tell Zeus that if he tries to touch my being again I will kick him in the groin. Though I hesitate only because he might like that."

The sky is softly touched by the sun , protected by the veil of the earth. But that does not excuse Zeus on being a pervert to him.

[tenth-god]

A rather surprising sentiment to hear, but that isn’t enough to quell Hermes’ concerns; the mixing of pantheons in personal affairs aside (Is he really offering protection—to me?), as well as a pointed effort to ignore the Lord’s question...

“I shall ensure he receives the, ah, first part of that message.” That’s the part that counts to begin with, really. Besides, plenty of words get lost in transit. Everyone should know such by now.

And if they don’t, well. It’s all the lesser of two evils, really—again, with the fights coming soon enough, it’s better that Lord Zeus doesn’t hear of the threat.

“As it is, however, I do apologize for these inconveniences.”

As quickly as he was thrown off does Hermes re-conduct himself, however, clearing his throat as he smooths the front of his suit out. Future meetings aside, it’s quite unbecoming for him to be so shaken in another deity’s presence; and on his own, no less, what is he thinking?

“I shall see to it that Lord Zeus is preoccupied enough that he doesn’t feel the need to make his way elsewhere. With the ensuing matter of Ragnarök, I had assumed he wouldn’t leave our own mountain; such an oversight is my own fault. He will not have opportunity to offend in such a manner again.”

(At least until he finds another way to slip past him again, but what more could anyone do?)

[genesisun]

In truth, the chaos that Zeus brings is almost expected at this point. Its all fair game when the very lord who brings his dick out for anything prances around. Where was Hera when you needed her, usually her power was greater in times like these. But-

"the power and help of the greeks should not, be helping the restoration. Do you not remember the last time your roman counterpart -meaning you- collided with the egyptians."

Cleopatra done dirty, is what he wanted to say,the most beautiful of pharoahs and one he had to personally intervene so Zeus didn't stick his unwanted head in.

"What would be requested...is for Hera to control her husband, The mortal realm needs less chaos right now." And besides, its been centuries since the pyramids were even worshiped, as much as it irks him. Going against the law to fix something that...would never see much use, is useless right now.

[tenth-god]

Hermes truly has to school his expression back from the pinched state its found itself in as Lord Ra continues to speak—he has to fight even more to not outright say, ‘Surely there’s no need to rehash such endeavours of the past,’ because if he says that out loud he is definitely not going to be able to get back to Valhalla in any timely manner. And honestly, that Mercury fellow isn’t even really him, he’ll have everyone know (though he simultaneously is him, in a way, and to some people they certainly are, but the whole situation is far more complicated than just saying they’re one-to-one but really, he does not get paid enough to explain any of that—)

No, it simply wouldn’t do to let any of that mess release itself to the world. Hermes simply has to hope Ra doesn’t feel like addressing the lapse of his usual mask.

...was it truly so necessary to mention the Queen, though?

“I can see about passing on the message.” His voice is more than a little tight, though it’s weighed down by nervousness more than it is true reluctance. Both are rare feelings out of him as it is. “Though I do warn you, it may take, ah, some time to do so.”

There are very few gods who make Hermes anxious, and fewer still which he tries to avoid, but he can’t just ignore a job all the same. How truly tiring it is to be the Messenger.

“Is there anything else you might require me to do, my lord?” He’s much more chipper now; anything to avoid having to deal with that.

[tenth-god]

Why is there always something going on the moment he turns his back?

Thief Sentences

(Sentences for interactions with muses who are thieves. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"I've always been good with locks."

"I don't have a conscience! I'm a bloody thief!"

"Would you have helped me if you knew I was a thief?"

"I only steal from the well-insured and the much deserving!"

"You think you're above the law."

"I'm impressed! You have quite the knack for deception!"

"I sort of have this reputation of being a professional."

"I'm not the one who talked to the cop!"

"I guess it shouldn't surprise me that you know to hotwire a car, huh?"

"Did he arrest you or something?"

"Am I under arrest?"

"I see you're not wearing handcuffs. I take it you were able to talk yourself out of trouble?"

"I thought I'd tag along on your next robbery."

"I don't steal things that belong to someone else."

"My unconscious is urging me to hot-wire a police car."

"Thank you for not pressing charges!"

"You will lie, cheat and steal to get what you want, but you’re incapable of kissing a little ass?"

[tenth-god]

@genesisun mentioned you on a post “FEET PICS”:

@tenth-god pay me for this pics

“I will pay you to stop posting these.” Does Ra have any idea how many gods are questioning Hermes about these pictures right now...?

[genesisun]

The greeks don't even defend their king, though from the standard that Zeus had set upon how gods should act, the younger ones had little to no dignity or frame of reference of what dignity really is. Really, all of Zeus children were ingrates and beyond.

At the very least, this one had manners used sparingly.

"Zeus last visit had made a hole in the pyramids." not the actual ones, but the mystical ones in his domain, one that went beyond mortal hands. "His excitement has gone too far, but little is to be done about it. I already filed a complain to Lord Hades."

Hades, he respects at least.

[tenth-god]

“I see; I’ll be sure to check in with his Lordship to assess the damages myself.” Involving the lord of the Dead in such a matter seems like overkill, but little can be done with him already being told. Still, Hermes is left feeling just a bit put-out; Lord Zeus was wont to doing whatever he wished, but if he blasted a pyramid, there had to be a story. Trust the most fun things to happen when he wasn’t at his side!

On the other hand, though...why did he have to go and provoke him?!

“At any rate, I apologize on Lord Zeus’ behalf for the inconvenience.” He continues on, going low in an apologetic bow. “He can be rather...difficult to handle, when I am not around. I ought to have made sure he wouldn’t try to do something of the sort when I stepped away from him; the blame falls on me.”

Hermes isn’t one to genuinely verbally kowtow to others without reason, but he doesn’t even think to hesitate when it comes to doing so to Lord Ra; the ancient sun god is one of the few the messenger feels truly nervous around, and heavens forbid he be in the area when the deity is angered. Hermes has lucked out for now, but he needs to ensure that he doesn’t piss him off on his own.

There’s always a mess to clean up, isn’t there.

“Forgive the question, Lord Ra, as it is mere protocol,” he begins, tone careful; even though he’s stated it’s protocol, there’s no telling if it’ll still be taken as his being disrespectful, “but has restoration to the pyramid been started already? If it has, I shall handle the recompense to you and yours at once.”

He’s fairly sure Lord Ra has had some others fix it or done so himself, by this point, but he has to extend the knowledge. It won’t go done otherwise, and they don’t need grudges stewing between the pantheons anymore than they have been already. It’s all part of the job, too, in any case.
