[AT first is the click of the audio being switched on. Immediately, the splash of a fountain's heard, and then suddenly, a little louder than it:]

This isn't Hades's realm, is it.

[Not a question-- flat. A statement. A little dry. Two parts relieved, one part dry, one part "where the hell am I now". Stir carefully, and let

How's it ugly?

[godtellslies]

It's grey and dark, and too rough. [All cities are like that, a little, though his were made of gold mud and brick, neatly placed. Also, he has fields.]

[innocentxcharm]

Oh. Well there's a park and a zoo an' stuff too, so not everything's gray. And I think the nightlights are pretty. [Admittedly he likes the park better than the buildings, but still.]

[godtellslies]

Stars? [Nightlights = Lights in the night = stars?? Herp.] Nothing like home.

[...or the field.]

[innocentxcharm]

Ooh, stars are really pretty yeah! [Herpderp that's not an answer] Is your home really pretty? I wish I could go somewhere really pretty.

[godtellslies]

It wasn't pretty.

[It was beautiful.

High stone walls, brighter than these, though not as high as them; lush, green fields, with the sea spread out in front of them. An old, worn shepherd's crook in his arm; the bright, blue sky above him, stretching infinitely. Lazy clouds and lazy winds, sweeping up hills and down valleys, gathering around sheep and shepherd.

He's surprisingly quiet. He's always thought about his home - of being able to go back - and he almost forgets he's talking to someone.

Almost.]

You could see every light in the sky. I used to know them all.

[He still does, in the back of his mind.]

[He doesn't entirely understand the meaning behind that silence, but something compels him to be quiet as well.]

That sounds really nice...I don't know any of the lights here.

[godtellslies]

I can't see them all. [Ugh.] The lights in my city weren't as bright as these.

[innocentxcharm]

This city's got really bright light, yeah. I don't remember if it was like this where I came from, but I'm used to this now anyway.

Maybe you could get not-so-bright lights somewhere.

[godtellslies]

[He snorts lightly - unlikely, and even then, Apollo would just make them bright again because he's a dick - and--

Hmm. He didn't notice that before.]

Your hair is green.

[innocentxcharm]

[A pause - a very slight one, barely noticeable. Sudden topic changes are...actually something he's somewhat used to, but it never fails to catch him by surprise.]

Yours is yellow.

[godtellslies]

It's normal.

video;

[innocentxcharm]

Green's not normal?

video;

[godtellslies]

You're the first I've seen with it.

video;

[innocentxcharm]

Oh.

.....Ion had green hair too, but he left.

[godtellslies]

People can leave?
