( @Who is Who? )

The night was young, the stars were bright. And hades was….standing in the forest while reading a book. He had been coming here off an on at Demeter’s garden. First time was to get a cursed rock out of under her grounds. If it stayed any longer it woulda infected and killed the nymphs. But that was when he met her, Persephone. And she was cute, but also had a lot of empathy. And overall was great to talk to. Since then he’s come off and on here to meet with her and hang out during his lunch breaks. And for some reason tonight she wrote to him to come here? It was the first time she asked something like that. I mean yeah he’s been seeing her a lot but he didn’t think she’d ask him. Did she assume he wouldn’t come anymore?

Constantly looking over her shoulder, Persephone ran through the forest, her dress blending in with the shadows and her hair billowing behind her. 'Would he be there?' Unsure but hoping for the first time in a long time that something would go right for once. Careful not to step on any of the small creatures running past, she leaps over a fallen log and keeps going, intent to get where she needed to go. The brunette Goddess of Spring was quite frankly scared of the outcome of tonight, but if all went well then she would no longer be under anyone's control.

Hades looked around until he noticed a figure running through the woods and, the shape and body looked like. Yup, that’s gotta be her. He got up from the tree and said “ppssst, hey over here” he whispered.

Turning her dark brown gaze around, her feet stop not far from him and smiles brightly in relief. "You came...." And with that she ungraciously sits on the ground and stares up at him. "Hi!"

He walked up to her and chuckled a little with a bit of a blush "Hi" He said scratching the back of his head. "I uhh, I got your letter. Everything ok?"

She shook her head and sighs softly, unsure of how to begin so Persephone just gets straight to the reason. "I cannot take mother anymore. I feel like a bird in a gilded cage, focused on one thing for the rest of my life and...I cannot keep doing this."

"Woah woah hey easy" he said getting ono one knee as he held her hands "What'd she do this time?" He's heard her complain about her mom before, but this? To say this was the snapping point? He hasn't heard that before. Which could mean that something happened that crossed the line.

"As usual she wants me to start Spring which is fine, but she feels I need help...from Apollo." At the thought she shudders heavily before lifting her head up to him, "You know how uncomfortable he makes me....this is too much."

"Wait apollo? The sunshine kid? She wants you to work with HIM?" He got wide eyed out of pure shock as he had interactions with the god of the sun and....they weren't too great. Hell he was probably one of the definitions of narcissm.

She just nods, then getting to her feet Persephone says something she was sure would shock him, "Help me? I want to escape from here, away from my mother and away from...him" Reaching out she grabs both his hands, squeezing them hard enough it could hurt, "Please..."

"Shit, say less" he said holding them "I know your mom, I care about her but goddamn she's turning into a control freak" He looked around "Were you followed?"

"No, I had some nymphs who owe me a favor distract mother." It felt like a weight was removed from her shoulders. Persephone could sense from the ground if anyone was coming, even her own mother.

"Good, ok good" he looked around. "Ok I'm gonna do something really crazy probably so I'll need you to trust me on this one yeah?"

It didn't take long for Persephone to respond back, "Alright, I trust you."

Sam

It didn't take long for Persephone to respond back, "Alright, I trust you."

"Ok good, now" he pulled her up to her feet and wrapped his arms around her as he gave her a big hug. And before she knew it, they both fell into a pit of black holes, The light all around her faded as they fell through. For the first few 30 seconds it was just total and complete darkness, no sound, no sight, nothing. Then, from behind hades a light shimmered. Brighter and bigger it got, until it engulfed them both and they both fell right on top of a couch.

For a second it felt like her ears were gonna pop, she had shut her eyes when he hugged her and trusted he'd take her somewhere safe and the moment they stopped moving, Persephone opened her eyes and glanced around in confusion, 'Where did we go?"

Hades grunted as he looked around. From her perspective, she saw a dark room with blue lighting, and severral people in chairs staring at the two. Hades groaned as he sat up "Nothin to see here folks, just another day at work" "Uh, boss? Everything good?" "What did I JUST say?" "Ok fine, fine just asking" "I appreciate that but you don't need to worry" Hades said with his hand out to try and calm the confused crows staring at them while he sat up with placing his feet on the ground.

Immediately Persephone looks around, not the least bit afraid of the dark room or the people in it. Her curiosity became peaked as she listens to both him and the other person before excitedly saying, "Is...this the Underworld?!!"

"Yup, this is my office" he groaned rubbing his head as he stood up. The walls are adorned with psychedelic wallpaper, adorned with swirling patterns and kaleidoscopic designs. A jukebox sits in one corner, filling the room with the echoing melodies of Motown and Jazz usin. Plush, paisley-patterned couches invite employees to sink into their comfort, while lava lamps bubble and cast a mesmerizing glow. The lights were bright and showcasing the wooden waxed tables in the break room. A communal coffee table showcases a collection of retro board games and magazines, inviting friendly competition and moments of leisure. A soda fountain adorned with chrome accents dispenses fizzy drinks in nostalgic glass bottles, while a popcorn machine pops freshly buttered kernels. As well as what seemed to be a steampunk sort of coffee machine. With gears moving automatically showcasing themselves while the clear tubes pump in water to the boiling hot glass under the miniature furnace, and the coffee grounds steaming up through the tube and into said water. A few of the interns seemed half alive and half dead as they wore their business suits and dresses while holding their coffee, concerned about what they had just saw. Intern 1 “Is that….is she alive?” Hades “in a dramatic sense yes. In literal terms the laws of death don’t apply to her” he said standing up Intern 2 “Wait she’s a goddess?” Intern 3 “Why da fuck would ya bring a life goddess here??? This is LITERALLY the opposite of life” Hades “Hey I’m the boss and what I say goes kapeesh?” Intern 1 “Oh come on you can’t be serious YOU wrote those laws” Hades “Yeah I know I know I’ll sort it out later” He then turned his head to Persephone and held his hand out for her.

"Uhm..." Persephone had no words for the conversation going on in front of her between she guessed thing 1, thing 2 and Hades so instead she took a look around without moving an inch, her gaze taking in the fountain drinks and popcorn which sounded both satisfying and nauseating at the same time. But her attention and slow temper was on a shorter string than usual due to her fight with her mother and without meaning to Persephone snaps out, "I had no idea I was a Life Goddess! Thank you...whoever you are for telling me! Your valuable intelligence musts be so amazing that Hades just can't live without you!" After she says it her eyes widen seconds later and she covers her mouth with her hands, stumbling over apologies as her gaze drops to the carpeted floor. (edited)

“HA” said intern 1 “THAT WAS PERFECT!!” He shouted laughing his ass off. “It’s just a label we got for who works with people that are alive and people who are dead” said intern 2 Hades blushed as he shouted at his intern “Hey shadup you wouldn’t last a fuckin WEEK without me here!” “Buddy you kiddin? You had a fuckin panick attack just runnin this joint before you got us on the payroll” joked intern three “Man fuck y’all” he guided Persephone out of the room as he was raging with blush In the bustling office of Hades within the depths of the underworld, a vibrant jazz trumpet brings waves to the atmosphere atmosphere, blending retro aesthetics with a constant buzz of activity. The walls are adorned with psychedelic posters featuring lava lamps, peace signs, and groovy patterns, creating a lively and colorful backdrop. As the interns and employees navigate the busy workspace, their outfits reflect the fashion trends of the era, with bell-bottom pants, tie-dye shirts, and underworld badges adding an extra dash of vintage charm. The air is filled with the clatter of typewriters, the hum of dial-up telephones, and the constant chatter of conversations as tasks are delegated and deadlines are met. “Boss you got a call from Anubis he says we got his people by accident again” said an employee as hades walked through the room. Hades “put him on hold I’ll call him back later” “We got a riot going on in the western district demanding for decent water and working conditions as well as a clean environment” said another employee holding the phone up. Hades “AGAIN? We JUST talked with their union, just….schedule them to meet with me on Wednesday at 12:00 we’ll sort it out then” he sounded much more stressed now that he was in the work part of his office. Coffee machines tirelessly brew aromatic blends, fueling the collective productivity. Despite the hectic nature of the office, a sense of camaraderie and collaboration permeates the space, as colleagues exchange ideas and support one another amidst the flurry of activity. Through the swirl of energy and enthusiasm, the office of Hades was a groovy booming vibe of both super busy and super anxious energy that everybody had.

While Hades was discussing the daily tasks, Persephone chose that moment to wander over to the coffee machine and pour herself a cup. Adding a lot of sugar and cream, she sips the drink as she took in the hustle and bustle. 'Mother's job isn't nearing this chaotic...I kinda like it!' Her thoughts were ones of the differences; how formal her mother expected everyone to be with her and with Persephone, how stuffing it felt a times. How anyone wanted to work there at times she wondered sometimes. Heading over to one of the empty desks not far from Hades, she sits down and pulls out an old and battered MP3, popping the headphones into her ears and before long she began to sing softly, though she doesn't notice just how her voice carried or how lovely it really was' 'Ever wonder why I never really truly connect Although my eyes are open I can hold your gaze But I am never connected Never connected I am famous for my generosity They say I am the kindest But it is easier to Give than receive love Give than receive love'

Inside his office was big and lavish, with leather couches of three circling an area while his desk was mahogany wood, and full of paperwork I'm talkin like 5 feet tall worth of stacks in several piles. There was a coffee machine in there to the right as well as a full wide glass windowview that showed the entire city of the underworld, which looked like Las Vegas during the daytime. Big towers with cars driving in the highway. and the outside was a whole lot of desert under a scorching hot sun. Hades was currently on the phone as he picked it up "Shit another one? How many trees is that? Sigh fucking gods almighty" he pinched his nose "Ok give pan a letter, write to him we neeed some more.....yeah I know he's getting fed up, well WHADYA WANT ME TO DO ASSHOLE? Ok yeah I know what he said about me, becuase the dead need to feel like they're in a good spot. Just put in the order, 400 this time yup. Ok? Ok perfect don't call me back till the trees get here" he then hung up on his vintage phone. As soon as he did thaat he turned and heard Persephone sing, her voice was so soft. So beautiful, so.....melodic, his face blushed just from hearing her sing those sweet words. Almost as if she were a siren but more evolved.
