WHO: Zagreus and YOU
WHERE: The network
WHEN: A very sunny afternoon, much to his dismay
WHAT: A whole new wooooooorld
WARNINGS: Likely nothing, other than the fact that Zag is not sure why he's alive and will say so

[What is the worst way to film something?

Some might argue that a continuous Dutch angle, while other maintain that Vertical Phone Filming (TM) remains the cardinal sin. However, all parties might agree that what is currently happening is the actual worst, since whoever is holding the camera doesn't seem to have a single clue what they're doing. It keeps moving, for one thing, and more often than not is at an angle that makes no sense at all, and doesn't seem to focus on anything.]

Erm... hello? The scroll said this could be use to talk to people but I'm honestly not sure how that could be the case.

[Did he read literally any of the instructions on how to use it after turning it on? No, of course not.]

Whoa, really? The god of the Underworld?

[ Hades was definitely a big name in mythology, even if it wasn't something she read up too much on herself. ]

I'd never heard anything about him having children before.

Yeah, a lot of my family was surprised to hear about it too.

[and like, really. who would have guessed Persephone would put up with him long enough for that? (Zagreus is kind of beginning to see that they do get on well, but it's still hard for him to pictured.]

Really? He just kept you a secret for...how long?

[ Zagreus seems like a young adult to her, but...well, he's a god, so there's no way she could guess how old he actually is. ]

Uh... a while.

There's not really a great sense of time in the Underworld.

[he doesn't know how old he is either tbh]

Though to be fair, he simply didn't talk to most of my family on Olympus since far before I was born.

[ She only really knows a bit about Hades from the little things she's read in school and what she's seen in movies, but that seems about right. ]

I guess the other gods don't really drop by to visit him a lot either.

So wait, if Hades is your father...does that mean your mother is Persephone?

He more or less wouldn't let them until recently.

[and then only for the one party.]

I-- yeah, she is. Is that, uh, well known? To you all?

Ah. I guess he's the type that prefers to be left alone?

[ Honestly yeah, that tracks. ]

Well, not them having a child. But the myth of Hades kidnapping Persephone is one of the most famous ones about...either of them, really.

[there is a distinct pause]

I'm sorry, did you say kidnapped?

[ About this time it occurs to Moana that she probably shouldn't really be talking to him about his parents, given how little his family seems to have talked about...anything. ]

Uh...w-well, that's how some of the versions go. It really depends on the version, though. There are some out there that mention that Persephone was more willing to go with him.

[they are very bad at communication.]

That... sounds a bit closer to the version they told me.

[even he knows that it's possible the story got mixed up.]

Yeah? Well there you go! Maybe the whole "kidnapping" thing was a big misunderstanding.

[ She always did prefer the idea that Persephone had some kind of choice in the matter. ]
