Persephone's ideal world session 1

In the flicker of a candle-flame, in the stir of still water, in the fluttering of flower petals, there is a voice.


Once, there was a maiden...
...who was the living embodiment of everything right in the world.
While she lived, no real harm could come to anyone. Oh, wounds, disease, even death, sure. But she stood between the world and anything worse.
"Except," she said, "I'm going to die." And no one listened.
"I'm going to die tomorrow," she said. And no one heard.
Into the silence, she said: "There's always an ending, after all."

"Valor," then—a worthy name. Did Hope grant it to you?

And no, we would not have met in your former life. Though perhaps Skylark has mentioned me; I know he has a fondness for you.

[ for some reason. ]

I am Amaranth, of avante en garde, and this is my son's dream.

Yeah, it was Hope's idea. Lark hasn't mentioned you, but Hades has.

[while telling Valor to not tell Amaranth that he's Anathema (probably) but that's obviously a lost cause, isn't it.]

[ sure is.
but hey, she only opens with the suplex when you kill her whole family. ]

...Is he too a friend of yours?
carrionmywaywardsun: (but I won't)

Hades? Nahhh. But he's fun.

[ a soft snort, amused despite herself ]

He's trying very hard.

Yeah, he's soft as fucking butter. Still fun to wind up, though.

Much more like the youth I once knew... than that hard and prideful man he became.

...I am sure that, too, is a conscious choice.

Probably? I mean, he seems fucking terrified of most of his memories.

[ rhetorical, and deceptively mild— ]

And do you know why?

[laughs]

Guess he doesn't like knowing he's a killer.

[ a smile, but it's thin at the edges this time ]

I am glad, truly, that he wishes to atone.
But simply to flee from that past... That alone is not enough.

[ and with that, she turns back towards the rest of the garden, and the pond.
—and. uh. dives in the water? ]
carrionmywaywardsun: (here here comes)

[nice one lady. Valor will also make his way over to examine the danger pond.]
