Meg pulled a hood over her head and walked through the darkened forest. She tiptoed around the trees, glancing behind her every now and then. If she got caught doing this by anyone, she would not survive the night. Not to mention the people that were probably lurking around here were dangerous. Of course she could handle bandits and the like, she had a dagger and knew a few fighting skills. Enough to get away from an attack but not to kill a person. However that was not why she was there. She was there for the asshole, that’s what we are going to call him because that’s what he becomes after Meg sells her soul for his life and he leaves her for another woman. So she was there for asshole and to save him from dying. He was internally bleeding from a wound he abstained from a fight. He had hours until he was dead. When she reached a point in the forest that she was sure was far enough away from the city. She bent down and began taking small objects from her little pouch. Up until this point Meg didn’t believe in the gods or magic, whatever the hell it was called. She thought it was all nonsense. But now she had no choice and no other option. An old woman had told her how to ‘summon hades’, to make a deal with him. Meg had money and thing she could trade him, that she was willing to trade him. So she bought the stuff needed for such a thing and continued to lay them out. Next she did the one thing she hasn’t done since she was a kid. Meg prayed. “Um, so I don’t know how this works…” Meg stated out loud, her hands in front of her as she talked to the tree. She felt ridiculous. “Hades, I am praying…or whatever to you. I’m begging you. Please! I need your help; I am willing to give you whatever you want. Money, jewels…anything.” Meg stared at the tree, waiting for something. Anything. For the tree to start talking, or lightening to strike it. But nothing happened. Sighing, Meg stood up and dusted herself off. “I knew you didn’t exist.” |

"Is there anything that you two can do without messing up?" Okay.. yeah, this is a really shocking opening. Yanno, I'm not even going to bother thinking of what Pain and Panic screwed up this time, because the list of what they can do relaly would be shorter. Anyway, Hades had found Panic, somewhere he wasn't supposed to be, after finding the job that he was supposed to have done, unattended and unfinished. He believed in running things efficiently and there was very little efficient about having to run around checking up on the little idiots all the time. When he'd first.. acquired them he assumed that they would be useful for something but he was starting to give up all hope that that was the case. Luckily (for Panic) he was distracting from his irritation by someone praying. That.. now that caught his attention. Praying wasn't an unheard of concept, not by a long shot. however, people very rarely prayed to the god of the dead. Aphrodite, Artemis, Zeus. Everyone was always praying to Zeus. But Hades.. no. It was considered extremely risky business to dance with the devil. So the fact that someone was willing had caught Hades attention. Enough so that he was willing to pay the girl a personal visit. Despite the fact that she very rudely said that he didn't exist. I mean, what, did she expect him to show up at the drop of a hat? He had a busy life, you know. He had an entiere underworld to singlehandedly (he did it singlehandedly pain and panic messed up more than they helped it was like counterproductive) run. Unlike some other gods. Anyway, Hades glanced at Panic, not trusting him on his own in the room. "Looks like someone's in need. Let's see what we can do for the poor girl, huh?" Mhm. That sounded real compassionate. You can imagine it.
So of course, obnoxious as ever, Hades appeared right in front of the girl as she was turning around, making sure it was perfectly clear that he'd heard everything she'd said. "So impatient. Underworld's not around the corner, you know. Traffic this time of day, it's awful" He shook his head, walking around her and looking at the display she'd set up on the floor. "You're lucky I wasn't busy. Not the most tempting offer, but there was a lull in well.. you know, dead people don't exactly make for the party they've got going on up in Olympus." Hades clearly held a lot of resentment towards the other gods. It was hard not to. I mean, they did nothing other than lounge about like children but yet, they were revered. Loved. Focusing on the situation at hand, he picked up one of the more valuable things she'd brought and twirled it around before tossing it to Panic. "So let me guess, boyfriend dumped you for a girl with bigger tits. You're hoping she could get run over by a chariot." Been there- done that. Of course, those were the fun ones. People looking to stir up trouble. They didn't come by very often. It was obvious from the way this girl was acting that she wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. "Look, I'm gonna cut you a break because clearly you have never done this before. I'm a god. Money isn't really much an object." I mean, what did she even expect him to do with these things? He was hardly going to go walking into the nearest shopping mall. "However, I like the initiative. You know, people pray all the time. But bribery.. you must want this really badly. Like I said, money isn't going to cut it. However I could be willing to do a.. different sort of business."

Is there anything that you two can do without messing up? ”We were going to get it done—we just needed more time and it was going to get done and—“ And Hades was suddenly distracted so he wasn’t going to keep that one going. He was lucky enough to be alive after so long and he wasn’t going to directly be the cause of Hades’s aggravation. Looks like someone’s in need. Let’s see what we can do for the poor girl, huh? That surprised Panic as much as it surprised Hades, honestly. He was the ruler of the underworld. Nobody liked asked Hades for help. It was stupid. He wasn’t a very pleasant person. ”Someone needs—you? Are you sure you should… I—I mean, yes, let’s go! Let’s go.” Panic wasn’t so sure about this. He knew Hades wasn’t going to care about this girl. It wasn’t like he had much of a choice in the matter though so he disappeared, reappearing behind Hades. He stood out of the way timidly until Hades tossed something to him—at which point he caught it and closed his fist over it, causing it to disappear in a puff of smoke for the time being. Money isn’t really much of an object. ”M-maybe you could use money for something. The underworld gets dark—maybe a few new candles…” As Hades began offering her a deal, Panic’s eyes grew wide and he faced the girl, shaking his head and gesturing ‘no’ with his hands.
