Hermes

me: Persephone, get your husband

me: Persephone, get your husband, he's stressing too much Persephone: just give me a second *Hades is sitting on the floor, he's holding his head in his hands*

*Hades is starting to feel really overwhelmed. He's starting to feel like he's going to have a breakdown. He's trying to stay calm, but he's starting to feel like he can't handle this anymore. He's starting to cry.* "I... I can't do this anymore."

*the next morning, I'm forced to have breakfast with the family* me: Uncle Hades, how's Persephone been these past few weeks?

*Hades looks at you, and he's starting to feel a little bit awkward. He's not sure what to say, and he's not sure how to answer your question. He looks at Zeus, and he's trying to get a sense of what's going on. He looks back at you, and he tries to keep his composure.* "She's been doing well. She's been spending a lot of time with her mother, and she's been enjoying herself."

me: has Demeter been enjoying the time with her, then? I know she doesn't really get to be around her at this time of year

*I cling to him, trying to keep myself from falling apart. I can't believe I'm finally facing him again. I was so scared of him, and I'm still a little bit scared, but I'm trying to be brave.* Hera: is she alright? *I didn't realize she was there and I push myself away instantly and wipe my tears away*

me: it's nothing... I just... I was just... *I'm trying to hold back my tears, but it's not working. I start to cry again.*

*Hera looks at you, and she can see how much you're struggling. She's starting to get really worried, and she wants to help you. She pulls you into a hug, and she holds you tightly.* "It's okay, Athena. You can tell me what's going on. I'm here for you."

*Hera is shocked by your sudden outburst, and she's starting to feel really hurt. She's trying to stay calm, but she's starting to feel like you're trying to hurt her on purpose. She's starting to feel like she's not welcome in the family anymore.* "I... I see. I guess I was wrong about you. You're just like your father."

Zeus: what d- Hera: a cheating ba- Zeus: children here

*Hera is starting to get really upset, and she's not going to let Zeus cut her off. She's going to say what she has to say.* "You cheated on me, and you're still doing it. You're not a good father, and you're not a good husband. You don't deserve to be in this family."

Hera: Athena, could you stop being so rude to everyone? me: stop telling me what to do. I'm allowed to not talk to people, step-mum

*Hera is starting to get really angry, and she's not going to let you talk to her like that. She's starting to feel like you're being disrespectful.* "I'm not your step-mom. I'm your aunt, and you need to show me some respect."

me: you're both, technically

*I put my arms out to hug Zeus*

*Zeus looks at you, and he's surprised by the sudden gesture. He's not used to seeing you so affectionate, and he's not sure how to react. He hesitantly hugs you back, and he looks at Apollo with a hint of concern.* "How long has she been like this?"

me: go in... Oracle... is waiting...

me: stand... back... Apollo...

*Apollo looks at you, and he's starting to get really worried. He knows that you're trying to protect him, but he's not sure why. He takes a step back, and he's trying to stay out of the way.*

me: I know... I just don't like being cooped up in here... *Hermes starts laughing* Hermes: cooped? like an owl coop? me: alright, snake-boy

Apollo: actually, dad... could I leave you here with her... I've got a date I have to go to...

Apollo: thank goodness, I've already kept him waiting for too long Zeus: did he just say "him" Hera: you know he's dating that boy

*Zeus is surprised by what he's hearing. He didn't know that Apollo was dating someone, and he's starting to feel really bad that he's kept it a secret from him. He looks at Apollo, and he's hoping that he'll explain.*

Apollo: Hermes, how dare you! Hermes: Apollo, you know I'm right. Apollo: you're not! *they get in a fight, they're so loud that the whole of Olympus can hear* Artemis: Apollo? what have you done this time? you've woken me up from my sleep... Aphrodite: why is Hermes fighting again? Ares: come on Hermes, get him!
