What he’s trying to say is he may not be a saint, but it’s not as if his family is all that holy to begin with.

The creeper has a point.

“You seriously wonder why nobody likes you around here?” Pan interjects sharply. “Why everyone’s constantly annoyed by you? You do realize that the others just humors you, right? Because you don’t do anything. There’s no point to you. Everybody else’s reinvented themselves down here, and what do you turn yourself into? A fucking tabloid gossip.”

“I’m still the messenger,” she says faintly, eyes over-bright.

Pan laughs, and it’s a harsh sound. “No, you’re not. My dad is. He made the Internet. You’re still using phones. No one uses phones any more-it’s all digital. Emails and instant messaging. Just face it, Iris. You’ve never been good for anything; you’re just an interfering busybody who has to know everyone’s business. You throw all these shitty parties just so you can swan about with fancy jewelry on, pretending you’re somebody. It’s fucking pathetic.”I reallllllllly want to slap him right now

I should really write a Pan-centric piece to fully explore his psyche and such. Even the more unsavory characters should have more screentime, amirite?

[allthelivesofme]

Yeah! Though after reading a piece that's fully from Pan's pov I may need to take a shower in bleach. ;-)

Hades literally had to kidnap a woman in order to get laid.

*snort* That's one way of putting it.

“Iris, I just have to ask: what the fuck good are you, anyway?”

dude you SUCK

But Iris doesn’t do any of that. She swallows the lump that had been growing in her throat, blinks back her tears, and simply says, “Thank you for reminding me I’m not special. It wouldn’t do to affect airs and graces that were beyond my scope.”

Oh jesus that just slays me.

“But I do think this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black,” she says, voice sharpening to a needle-point. “Alright, I do very little with my time that is of any worth. I waste my energy on celebrity talk shows and promoting everyone else’s events. But what do you do that is so vital, Pan? I ask because I’m curious, and you know what my curiosity’s like-insatiable. I have to know everyone’s business, after all.”

OH SNAP

“Thank you very much, Hermes,” Iris says smoothly, picking up her purse. “Your son and I had just finished a most interesting conversation. I’ll be off, then.

I should really do a Pan-centric piece to fully explore his character, because I'm still trying to get a firmer grasp on him. Hmmm.

[jesterlady]

It's nice to see Iris take a bit of a stand.

I just keep picturing Mal and Arthur stuck in an elevator together and how very different that conversation would be. :)

[zombres]

HA, somehow I totally forgot that Marion played Mal, zomg.

[ashleighlaurenn]

ughhh My love for JGL is conflicting harshly with my disgust with Pan.
PLEASE do something Pan-centric, and give him a redeeming quality or two for me to hold onto? hahaha

[elliesmeow]

Yep, Pan certainly deserved to get bitch-slapped for that. Just makes it all the sweeter that Iris was the one to hand him his ass.LOL I loved her retort to his claim that she isn't good for anything. I hope he'll find his own purpose soon, unhappy people are so destructive and ugly to be around.

Thanks for posting!
