WHO: Zagreus and the BEST BOY
WHERE: The network
WHEN: Before the event
WHAT: Zagreus has been living on the streets because literally why not, but Cerberus deserves better.
WARNINGS: Zagreu's extremely limited knowledge of the world

[Zagreus has... sort of figured out how to use the phone. Texting is not going to happen anytime soon, and he's not really any closer to understanding how the thing works, but he at least knows how to talk to people on it. Which he's doing today!

The video clicks on and there's Zagreus, with... a very red background. It looks kind of... fluffy? He grins and waves.]

Hey there, everyone! So I've been doing fine on my own out here for a bit [Zagreus are you admitting you've been homeless] but things have changed a little bit and I need to figure out a place that will... uh, I suppose even fit Cerberus here.

[He notices that who he's talking about isn't actually in frame, so he tilts the camera up to reveal a massive, three headed dog. One of the heads is looking around and letting out a soft whine, while the other two seem interest in the camera, at least until a hand reaches up to scritch behind the ears.]

Luckily he's actually a bit smaller than he is back home, but I don't think he likes how light it is much. Real different from the House, isn't it, boy? [Cerberus's one head continues whining, while the unoccupied one barks.] So, yeah. Anyone know of a place?

What the fuck.

[aspectsofblood]

What?

[he thought he was pretty clear.]

[drewthetower]

That is literally a three-headed dog literally named Cerberus. What the fuck!

[When? Did Hades?? Get hot???]

[aspectsofblood]

[don't talk about his dad like that it's weird.]

Yyyyyes?

[drewthetower]

So we now have fucking Greek gods wandering around Kaisou on top of the demons and whatever the fuck else?

-> Threadjack

[whiteshroud]

Oh yeah. I knew I forgot to mention something.

[drewthetower]

What do you mean you forgot to mention something?!

[whiteshroud]

This is Zagreus. He's from the Underworld.

[...]

The Greek one.

[aspectsofblood]

Erm. Yes.

Sorry? Not exactly here on purpose, mate.

[drewthetower]

God fucking dammit, where were you when I was writing my final paper for my Greek class?

[Anyway. Deep breaths, August.]

[aspectsofblood]

Not sure I'd have been any help with that anyway.

[He's got no idea what myths most mortals have about his family. Not to mention there are some areas he should really not correct. No one ask him about pomegranates, ok]

[Oh hey it's Zagreus. But more important- is his friend. Jun gasps in delight]

Cerberus! Who knew the guard of the Underworld was such a handsome fellow! [WHAT A GOOD BOY!!!]

[aspectsofblood]

[See, Jun is focusing on the right things.]

Isn't he? Y'wanna meet him? He's not always sure about strangers, obviously, but I can introduce you.

[whiteshroud]

Haha, I would love to!

Should I bring him anything? Does he like treats?

[aspectsofblood]

I mean, he does, but I sort of doubt you'd find his normal variety of treat here.

[how the heck is he gonna find satyr offal around here.]

[whiteshroud]

Oh? What's his normal variety?

[aspectsofblood]

Weird leftover gunk from satyr rituals.

Though he'll take nectar and such too. He'd probably like some things from around here? [Zagreus just has no idea what mortal things are.]

[whiteshroud]

Nectar and Residue from Satyr rituals....

[He considers for a moment. ]

...Yeah, I don't think we'll find that here. I'll try getting him a bone. Three of them, of course. [So he don't have to share!]

[ As big a fan of mythology as she is, Luisa can't help staring for a long, long moment. ]

...Whoa. Is...That's really Cerberus? The actual Cerberus?

Re: Video | un: pequeña_montaña

[aspectsofblood]

In the flesh!

[He gives one of the head a good scritch behind the ears, the head in question leaning happily into it.]

See, boy, you're famous.

[neverbreaks]

Oh wow. That's...That's really cool.

[ She knew a lot could happen in this world, but she hadn't expected...anything like this. ]

He's not as...scary as I imagined. Did he change a lot with his size, or is this how he always is?

[aspectsofblood]

I mean, with me he's normally like this. If you're trying to break out of the Underworld it's... different.

[Cerberus is getting on in years, but he still takes his job Very Seriously.]

[neverbreaks]

Oh...I guess that makes sense. [ It seems even Cerberus wasn't working all the time. ] And he's...your dog?

[ He's not what she imagined Hades would be like, but she didn't know of any other gods in mythology that worked in the Underworld. ]

[aspectsofblood]

[To be fair, Zagreus doesn't really expect to be known. Most of Olympus didn't know until recently.]

Sure is.

[neverbreaks]

Wow, that's...that's amazing. So that must mean you're lord of the underworld, right?

[ Luisa had read a bit of mythology, but still getting to meet these figures from those stories is just incredible. ]
