First Circle

[The feed kicks on to show Hades looking more nonplussed about the situation than anything else, a hand on his head, the flames licking around his fingers.] Well this is new--should've asked the Fates about this one. I gotta say, I didn't expect this to be at the bottom of the river. Not that I make a habit of going swimming or anything--I'm ( Read more... )

[It's a question, really, but so completely deadpan that it doesn't sound like one.] Samurai zombie.

That is what I said, Spike. They don't have those where you come from? I think you're missin' out.

Don't call me that. [Why yes he just gave an order to a god.]

Hardly sounds that way.

Then how about Whitey? Grumpy? I'm sure I could think of something. [Since you're apparently not offering your name.]

... You know, something about you seems vaguely familiar; you remind me of a lot of the guys I know back home--very... stiff.

[Well, you could have asked, instead of just calling him Spike. (Though that's probably one of the less offensive nicknames anyone's ever used with him.) And he is scowling so very much at the others.]

Or you could try Hitsugaya.

[Despite having a very selective sense of humour that doesn't find the joke about "stiffs" funny, he can see where this is going.] You said that you're a god. I suppose your realm is death?

I suppose I could, and maybe I would have if I'd known, but I'm not a mind-reader.

And that would be correct, sir~ Name's Hades, Lord of the Dead, Ruler of the Underworld, Keeper of the Crypt to end all Crypts, yadda yadda yadda, perhaps you've heard of me. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[Hn. From the Western mythologies, then. Yeah, he knows about those.]

Makes sense that you'd have at least some passing familiarity with the dead, then. [Nope, he makes no secret of being a dead soul.]

[Well now, isn't that an interesting tidbit~ Hades knows bits and snippets about the places other people from varying faiths can be sent to--he knows he doesn't get all the dead, egads things would get awfully crowded. So which circle of what hell are you from, Hitsugaya McGrumpipants?]

Your sense of humor sure seems to have hit rigor-mortis, but aside from that you're a lot livelier than the gang I'm used to working with. Better skin products where you come from, perhaps?

[This is him ignoring the bit about his sense of humour. As if he hasn't heard various ways before of telling him he doesn't have one.]

Souls actually rot like corpses in your realm? [Now that's just weird to him.]

You gotta understand, kid, a lot of the souls I deal with aren't exactly fine upstanding citizens. It's not like I make 'em rot or anything--they do that all on their own.

[Well, the dreaded k-word had to come out sometime, didn't it? Have an eyebrow twitch.] I'm not a kid. [It doesn't matter how much older than him you are. He's just not. So there.]

I didn't say you made them. Even the corrupt souls don't rot in my world.

You're lucky, then--do you have any idea how hard it is to get rotted soul smell out of the upholstery?

[Still not amused. Not ever amused.]

So much worse a problem than the corrupt souls devouring the decent ones, I'm sure. [Driest sarcasm ever.]

Now that, to me, sounds like population control more than anything else. Where's the problem?

Because the balance of souls is critical to the existence of all the realms back home; they need to survive long enough to be reincarnated. Too many souls being destroyed would result in the end of everything. [So they teach at the Academy, at least. Obviously, it's all theoretical.]

Reincarnation? [Pfffffffft!] Kid, what kinda crazy messed up Afterlife are you from? The Underworld is where your soul goes to rot--actual rotting is optional--but rot. For eternity. Period. End of story. That's all she wrote. If souls got reincarnated--good grief, I'd have to quit my job. I can't stand dealing with these lost souls once, you think I'm gonna send 'em back?
