𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Hades’ house
𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Hades & Melinoë | @KZOMBI3
𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Phobos. The Acropolis Crew. Mac & Zag. Persephone

Time ceased to exist. At least that’s what it felt like. As if the day continued on and on for months already. Long conversations, short ones. It went by too slowly, or all at once, never seeming to make up its mind as if her beloved grandfather still had a modicum of power and was seeing fit to torment her as well as the others.

“Why did it have to be them. They were just coming back to us, to everyone…” the running question of the day. Well, the most important one at least. Melinoë was doing everything in her power to focus on anything but whatever was going on between her and Phobos. The best answer she came up with of course was the deaths of her siblings. “Another reason for mother and father to fret about,” the laugh that left her lips was gargled, smelling of whatever expensive liquor she was able to swipe from the Acropolis before storming off the grounds and aimlessly making her way through dark streets.

It was comforting. Truly. Something so akin to natural that she could come close to all these millennia later. Wandering through fog, surrounded by her retinue of spirits, searching for those who needed atonement the most and in the worst kind of way. A shiver ran up her spine at the memories. Instead, as she turned this way and that, the Bringer of Nightmares found herself alone. Quietly, drunk and utterly alone. Not something she wanted even if that was the aura she exuded.

With her continued stumbling and mumbling to herself Melinoë looked up to find herself standing at the foot of a pathway leading up to the large estate before her. Shrouded in shadows that didn’t stem from the night surrounding it. It was a familiar place, screaming of warmth and reaching out to try to pull her into an embrace. She just scowled at it instead. The neglected half truths of her own mind pushed her back into movement, urging her feet towards the back of the home where a fence stood. With all the grace of drunken swan, the daughter of Death effectively made it over the barricade, bottle still in hand, and plopped herself in one of the many seats there on the patio.

Relaxing back into the seat, bottle hanging from a loose grip, time continued on. She wasn’t sure how long she was there for, mind wandering and racing, taking trips through memories long since passed. Zagreus, so charming and free. Melinoë remembered him as the Golden Child, he who could do no wrong. When he was born it was as if wars ceased and everyone came to bestow boons and gifts and favors to him in the hopes that his powers of rebirth would look on them favorably. A scoff escaped her before she tipped the liquor bottle to her lips and drank once more. “You were well loved by all, to have tortured you so…” She sniffed, a bite to her lip, tongue flicking out across to whet them, “They were never forgiven, I never forgot, she won’t go unpunished either.” Macaria though, she was more timid of the spotlight on her. While Zag basked in it, Mac was natural with it all. Whether she did something worth praising or not, there she was, standing in the light, soaking it in, smiling her shy, radiant smile. Blessed Death was better than the alternative and there was no one more fitting for the role than Macaria. “Taking on the sins of the world was too heavy for your delicate heart sister.” She was always so tender-hearted towards everyone. Mel felt that most didn’t deserve her sister’s sympathy.

Melinoë didn’t even hear the sliding of the door, the well designed shoes on concrete padding towards her. If she did she made no move to indicate so. In that moment, with everything that had happened she didn’t care for self preservation. At least that’s what she wanted to feel; her internal desires did not outweigh her hardwired nature. Madness seeping out of her inebriated form completely on its own accord, tendrils whirring about seeking a target lest they turn on her. And who was to say they hadn’t? Not until she heard him, sensed that the threat wasn’t a threat but just him, did the madness dissipate back into the shadows.

Hades made his way around to the front of the second patio chair taking a seat next to his daughter, placing two coffee cups down on the small table between them. “This might help a bit.” He turned his gaze towards the large garden that took up most of the backyard to their home. While Roses populated the majority of the garden, the massive maze of flora was home to just about every form of plant life one could imagine. It had become a sort of tradition of sorts that every house they would move to Hades would move the heavens and the very earth itself to ensure Persephone had her garden just as they did before. Though he had no actual talent for the skill of gardening he did enjoy the view that it produced, it was a nice change from the usual dark and drab that he so often surrounded himself with.

“You know, you're welcome to use the front door next time.” As he finished speaking he lifted the mug up to face hiding the soft smile that was plastered across it. “Unless of course you enjoy hopping fences with such grace.”

She couldn’t help grinning herself, releasing a bark like laugh, short and sweet, into the silence of the world around them. “Oh, it was graceful was it?” Where most children would have been mortified to know that their father had not only caught them sneaking onto their property but to witness their less than flattering attempt to hop a fence, Melinoë just nestled further into her seat bottle of booze emptied and tossed off to the side. Taking the warm mug between her hands she muttered a small “thank you” before sipping the bitter drink.

Silence encased them once more. Just the two of them watching as the world came to life once more, as it did every day the sun rose and bathed the earth in its light. It was… different, being here with him after so long. It wasn’t like the two spent an absorbent amount of time with one another. Not like they used to. Nothing was like it was before, more so now that Mac and Zag were gone. Physically shaking the thoughts away from her mind Melinoë spoke softly cutting into the disappearing fog. “Remember–,” she stumbled over just the words, a stinging pain prickling behind her eyes but a broken laugh on her lips, “Remember when Macaria was crying because her flower didn’t look like mama’s?” her quiet tears were choked into another laugh.

“Oh I remember alright. Her crying echoed off the walls for the whole of the underworld to hear.” Hades smiled as he reminisced on the old memory of his children and wife. “Poor thing wouldn't accept that she had a different flower then her mother.” He let a small laugh escape his lips as he thought about the argument he had with a child over why the flower looked different. “She got so mad at me she stormed off with a pout and stomped her little feet with every step. She only got about 15 feet before she realized she wasn't allowed out of my sight and so she just sat down and continued to pout.”

Hades turned his head over to his daughter and offered a smile as he continued. “I'd say that might have been one of the hardest springs the underworld ever had. You kids nearly drove your old man mad before Persephone was able to return. Lord of the underworld and god of the dead, but you little titans only listened to your mother half the time.”

She laughed once more at the memory. “It wasn’t hard,” a cheeky smile graced her features. “It was just… different.” Silence once more enveloped them for a time. The world around them came to life with the dawn of a new day; it was serene. Almost peaceful. Macaria was definitely with them at the moment. Words wanting to be spoken aloud though she couldn’t find them. How was she supposed to offer comfort to her father? He wasn’t a mere mortal or a lesser god and therefore Melinoë was at a complete loss for how to handle the situation.

A melancholy swept over her once again, “Had I been more present in their lives maybe this wouldn’t have happened…” The words were spoken though not intentionally. It wasn't in her repertoire to speak such weak thoughts into existence; only made her look useless in her eyes.

Hades instinctually snapped his head to the side grabbing his daughter's hand squeezing it before speaking. “Don't ever say that.” He spoke firmly but filled with the love only a parent could have. “Don't ever blame yourself for what happened to them. It wasn't your fault in any sense of the word. Look at me. Your siblings loved you very much just as I know you did for them. You all had your own ways of showing it, but of course you didn't really have the greatest role model in that regard.” Hades thought of his own relationship with his brother before looking deep into the now teary eyes of his daughter and could see the pain and guilt she was holding within. “You are strong beyond words Melinoë. And I know right now it feels like the pain and sorrow will never go away. And it probably won't, but tomorrow it will get a little easier to muscle through it. Then a little easier the next day and the next after that and so on. But for right now let out all those emotions you have bottled up in. I wont think you are weak and no one else will see beside us two. I'll even leave and order no one back here if that would make it easier.” As Hades finished he continued to look Mel in the eyes doing his best to comfort and reassure her.

Here she was, a daughter of Death - the last child - goddess of madness; overcome by grief and sobbing into her father’s arms. She didn’t know when she had gotten out of her chair but she had, throwing herself to her knees to just cry into his embrace. Screams of anguish muffled, refusing to disturb the beautiful new morning dawning. Melinoë would allow herself this comfort. She would release it all out now, like he suggested. For when her tears dried and the screams were all but echoes on the wind she would rise and bring forth all the madness in the world onto her siblings’ killers.

This seems like it could be interesting and I have been itching for a super hero RP as of late if you're still accepting new players.

Hades


Hades looked around his throne room and could help but smile in satisfaction at everything before him. The rather overly sized dining table was moved out and placed before the throne room to accommodate their guests who slowly began to trickle in and converse amongst themselves. It was so rare that he had visitors to his realm for much other than quest, but any time he had to shove it to his brothers he would gladly take it.

Hades was ripped from his thoughts as he felt Persephone's hand touch his for a moment as she leaned closer “Have you seen the Children dear?” she asked in a worried tone. Hades turned to his wife with a reassuring smile “I'm sure their fine Zag is probably just….” Hades paused for a moment as his mind couldn't form the words he knew he was supposed to say. Something was wrong, something was deeply wrong and Hades could feel it in his core but couldn't quite put his finger exactly on it.

Almost on cue all noise in the hall ceased at once causing Hades head to snap to the side just in time to see the hall itself fade away to darkness. “What is this? What is happening? Persephone?” Startled Hades turned to his wife who seemed unfazed about the very underworld around them fading away. “What are you confused about my love? You did this after all.” As she finished her sentence her very body seemed to morph into rose petals before they withered and dispersed revealing the lifeless bodies of his two children. Hades, unable to control himself, collapsed to his knees as he hung over their body, a deep sorrow filling him as his whole body slouched in defeat.

Tick….. Tick….. Tick….. Tick…..

Hades could feel his blood pressure rise with each tick that echoed throughout the empty void that surrounded him. Each progressive tick echoed louder and louder as they seemed to bounce off walls he couldn't see nor did he care to. He didn't care what the sound was or where it came from, all that mattered was his dead son laying before him. The ticking sound reached a crescendo that felt as though it was going to split his head wide open before it was cut short, being replaced by an eerie silence. Hades' eyes only moved as he saw a pair of shoes that seemed familiar come into view just on the other side of his. He was confused for a moment before a chill went down his spine when the being finally spoke.

“No need to put on this show for me. I know you're secretly glad to be rid of the brat once and for all.”

Hades immediately shot to his and took a step back in fear, something he couldn't remember having done in his long life. Standing before him was a perfect copy of himself down to the last detail. “Who are you? Why are you here?” Hades yelled through a shaky voice a far cry from his usual imposing self.

The copycat before him smiled wickedly upon hearing his question, “You already know the answer to those questions. That's why you still haven't responded to my last statement. You know it's true.”

“Are you mad? That is my son. My only son!” Hades finished as he pointed to the ground where his son once laid only to see it vanished. “No no where is he? Where is my son? Where have you taken him?” Hades shouted, Anger and frustration filling his voice.

“He's gone and you know that.”
the figure stated as the two began to circle each other like predators waiting to pounce. “I'll say it again, you're glad he’s gone, admit it. Now he doesn't pose a threat to your rule. You're only mad you didn't do it yourself.” [/color]

Hades had heard enough as he rushed forward grabbing at the imposter's suit which merely faded away into smoke like the wearer before reforming a safe distance behind Hades. “What monster do you take me for? You think I would kill my own son to keep power!?” Hades screamed.

The figure before him brushed off his suit with an annoyed expression on his face. “Of course I do. Your son would have usurped you just as you did to your father and he to his own father and so on.” the wicked smile returned on the man's face causing Hades' stomach to twist.

“I'm not my father. He was an evil tyrant of a man who cared nothing for anyone, not even his own children.”

“And you're any different? You let two of your children die alone and you don't even know where the third one is. Who knows maybe your Precious wife will get it next. Though in her circumstance it would probably be a blessing rather than a tragedy.” He paused for a second seeing Hades' face before continuing. “Don't look at me like that, it's not as if the feeling is mutual between you two.” As the figure finished his sentence Hades' hands passed through him once again having failed to grab the figure's throat.

“Don't you dare talk of my wife in such a manner do you hear me! Ill rip you apart where you stand for such remarks.”

“Please, you know she could never truly love you. You're the very monster that kidnapped her from her own mother and friends and forced her to marry you and then trapped her inside your realm for half the year.”

“I never forced her to marry me. The pomegranates were her idea. I have shown her nothing but respect and love since the day I met her.” Hades snapped back attempting to disprove the statements of the doppelganger.

“Only after you trapped her in your castle and refused to give her up. What was she supposed to do? Deny one of the three Kings? Even now she only stays with you out of fear and dread of what might happen if she leaves. Not that I blame you of course it was the logical move. You saw something and you took it just as a god should. Just like I would have done.”

The void around them seemed to tremble at Hades' silent hurry with his eyes glowing a deep reddish orange, a tell-tale sign of his anger boiling over beyond the point of control. “Don't you dare speak of my wife in such a way. You are not worthy to say her name. But I will make you apologize just before I end your pathetic existence.”

The figure before him simply rolled his eyes as a small laugh escaped his lips before an evil smile returned on the face he shared with Hades. [color=0072bc] “It's not like you could even if you tried. Even at the height of your power it took all of you backstabbers to seal me away in that prison.”

Tick….. Tick….. Tick….. Tick…..

[color=0072bc]“It seems we're almost out of time but quite your tantrum. I expect such things from your brothers but i always figured you would be above it, you certainly act like you are. But we both know the truth, don't we son.” As he spoke Kronus stepped towards his eldest son placing a hand on his shoulder and leaning close to his ear. “You….. are…. Just …. like ….ME.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Hades awoke his head shot up from its resting position on his desk where he had apparently passed out. Though he had a raging headache Hades hand immediately went to the shoulder that his father had grabbed. As his hand rested on the shoulder he felt a chill run down his spine as the words he had just heard began to set in. Standing from his desk Hades began to exit his office before stopping just in the door to turn and look towards the large Grandfather clock that stood against the wall. “I'm nothing like you.” he said in a stern voice that hid the slightest bit of doubt before closing the door behind him.

Tick….. Tick….. Tick….. Tick…..


Jornar and Janas Mormont

The sun hung high above the heads of the Mormont siblings as they continued on their path towards Summerhall and the location of the next Tourney. Though there was a small breeze that offered some form of break from the southern heat it was still slightly uncomfortable for the wandering bear. The temperature was one of the few things that Jornar had noticed had changed over his time wandering the southlands. Whereas before the change would have been unbearable, now it was only slightly inconvenient as he still enjoyed the cold days of bear island. Though it still did not hold a candle to the beauty that was their home, Jornar couldn't help but admire the land around him. It was almost picturesque with the sun bleeding through the trees as the birds chirped above them.

“So what is this Next one for?” Janas finally spoke up interrupting the slight humming coming from her brother.

“Who knows. Not like the great houses ever really need a real reason to show off their wealth and influence.” Jornar paused for a moment, taking a long drink from his water skin before continuing. “All the great houses are supposed to be present for this one though so I expect it will be extravagant. Even uncle is supposed to be there which will be a nice change.”

Janas smiled at the thought of seeing her cousins again after such a time. Though they weren't the closest of cousins they were still family and she enjoyed the days when they would visit their humble keep on bear island. “It will be nice to see uncle once again. I suppose it will be odd for some of the houses to see so many Northerners present.” She finished as she pulled beside her brother's horse. She thought back to her uncle's family and her lovable cousins. They had never been the closest mostly due to the long distance between Bear island and Winterfell but the rare occasion where they would travel was always fun for her. While Jornar was almost always in the courtyard sparring with Gryffith or the other boys, she was often doing her best to impress her aunt, uncle and father with her skill at the bow.

“Aye it must be an odd sight for the southerners to see so many Northman descend upon their tourney. I'm sure they're already running in droves to back out of the tourney knowing there is no chance of beating us. Those soft southern houses just don't make them as strong as the harsh north.” As Jornar finished he flexed his arm attempting to keep a stern look on his face though he was failing to contain his own laughter.

Janas simply rolled her eyes while letting out a disappointed sigh at her brother's antics. “You know only a fool underestimates their opponents before they’ve even met them. An even bigger one laughs at his own jokes.” she added as she gave him a look of disapproval mixed with a hint of amusement.

“Yes mom.” He replied in a mocking tone, eyeing his sister back who seemed to only roll her eyes and mumble something about him being hopeless. “Besides, I'm aware of what most of those knights can do. It just depends on who is actually signing up is all. Besides, no point in plotting too much about a fight when you never know how things are going to go anyway until the steel clashes. And regardless of the skill you just have to fight like you're going to win.”


The tournament grounds themselves were massive and on a scale that the two bears had rarely seen. Tents stretched as far as the eye could see each flying the banners of their respective houses. It seemed that all the great houses were present from their own Starks of the north to Dorne in the far south with everything's else in between. They continued through the maze of tents and patrons, nodding acknowledgement every so often despite the strange looks people gave to bear logos that adorned their clothing, finally coming to a stop at the lists for the competition. As Jornar looked over the other competitors of the list he smiled at the names that accompanied his. “Well it seems I may have some competition after all.” as he finished looking over the lists he stepped back for a moment before looking around for a moment. “I suppose we better find our uncle and tell him we have arrived.”






THis seems really interesting if you have room. i will say i am pretty new to the setting and the lore but loving it so far.

Hades


Hades took one last look down the hall before shutting the doors to his office allowing for privacy between the 4 men. “I appreciate you all coming down here on such short notice.” Hades' tone shifted drastically from his more welcoming tone during his conversation with Thor, to a more cold and stern one. “We have a lot to discuss, but first there is a matter of importance that we have to address first.” As Hades finished his gaze landed on the youngest of the men.

“We gave him a basic run down for you sir, so he could process a bit of it on the way over.”

Hades nodded as he stepped towards the youngest man in the room “Normally I prefer to do this in better circumstances and allow for things to sink in slowly but given the current situation we don't have much choice. Regardless however you were nominated by your father to take his place and I'm sure you'll live up to every expectation, just like your dad did before you.” Hades stuck out his hand offering it to the young man as he continued. “But ultimately this is your choice to make, once you make a deal with me there is no going back.”

The young man took only a moment to process what was being said before he nodded “I'm ready to serve just like my father did.” He stated confidently before grabbing Hades hand shaking it sealing the deal.

Hades' eyes glowed red slightly as he smirked at the young man “Glad you made the right choice.” As soon as he had finished shaking his hand Hades made his way over to a large painting that depicted a beautiful countryside that hung on his office walls. Behind the painting was a fairly large safe door that once opened revealed a small stack of documents and a gold coin which he grabbed before returning everything as it was. “This is now the most important thing in your possession. You are to keep it on you at all times. It not only shows your rank but is also your free ticket.” as he spoke, Hades held up the coin so that it was easily visible. It was a small gold coin roughly the size of a 50 cent coin. What made the coin unique however was that on one side a simple skull was depicted while on the other side the image of a ferryman.

“Welcome to the club Johny, your father would be proud of you. Rest his soul.” The olderman had taken a step forward grabbing the boy by the shoulders. “You're in the big leagues now, just like me and Nero here.”

“Thanks Paulie. I've been looking forward to today.”

“Now then to the matter at hand.” Hades said from his now seated position behind his desk as the three men quickly snapped their attention to him. “As you know today was our annual little get together for the whole family along with some others like us. But things were cut short when.” Hades paused for a second doing his best to contain the swelling anger that was rising in him. “It was cut short by my son and daughter falling from the damn skylight. Dead. Fucking Dead!!” Hades yelled the last portion of his sentence as he slammed his fist into the desk denting it slightly. “I want whoever did this, and I want them alive.”

The oldest man of the three, Paulie, showed the same emotions as Hades did as he spoke “Don't you worry bout a thing boss. We’ll find the son of a bitch who thinks they can get away with it.”

“We got any leads yet?” Nero, the middle aged man added in, “I can't imagine someone wanting to hurt those two kids.”

“Well my gut feeling would be my whore of a brother and his snake of a wife. They tried once before and I won't put it past them trying again.” Hades paused for a moment to think about his statement, it was true that he still suspected his brother but something was telling him that Zeus wasn’t the cause of his problems this time. “For the time being we're going to play this by ear until we get more info. Nero put in a call to our friends at the station and see if they can help shed some light on what my niece finds out after today. Other than that, do whatever you have to find answers. I don't care how many skulls you have to crack or how much blood needs to flow so long as we find whoever did this.”
The three men nodded as they made their way for the door before Johnny was stopped by Hades once again. “And Johnny, you're a boss now. You speak with my authority and understand. Anyone questions that you put them inline. No time for fuck ups.”

Once Hades was the last one left and he was sure the three had fully left the premises he let out a breath of exhaustion he didn't know he was holding in. He let his hand hang in his hands for a few moments allowing his mind to drift off for just the slightest bit of peace until he was interrupted by the loud sound of the grandfather clock ticking away. Hades turned to stare at the clock for a minute almost in a daze as he watched the second hand rhythmically tick away with each passing second.

“Why do you haunt me so?”
