here we go again..

[yearly]

.. You said it, not me. I'm not the one that gets nostalgic. Remember: I'm time, and time moves forward, but it's also a cycle. I don't need to get nostalgic, because it'll all come full-circle again at some point.

Anyway. I'd rather be with my grandkids and great-grandkids and so-forth, if you don't mind. They're dramatic, and Zeus really needs to keep it in his pants, but they're family.

[hypsistos]

You're really going to throw stones at me, Devourer?

[ Not "Father." Nope. He refuses. ]

[yearly]

[ he huffs. ]

Do I really look like your father? I'm a concept, not a Titan. I didn't particularly like him, either.

[kalokairini]

Full circle. Are you looking for power again, Grandfather?

[yearly]

I've obviously been out of the loop a while if you lot can't tell the difference between me and Cronus.

[ he picks at a bandaid on his cheek, nose wrinkling at the bridge. ]

Concept, not Titan.

[kalokairini]

You are the one who was talking about grandkids - which a concept would not have. Look for the fault of misunderstanding where it belongs.

[yearly]

Yeah, because my kids were the other concepts, or primordials if you like, and the Titans were descended from them, and then you all came along after the Titans. Which makes you grandkids and great-grandkids and.. all that.

[ seriously giving her the weirdest look right now. ]

No need to be defensive about it.

[rotandriddles]

The myths differ.

[yearly]

It's all the same in the end. [ a beat. ] This is a new look. [ given what he's accustomed to in various versions of hades. ]

[rotandriddles]

My look often changes. (Whoever looks upon him determines his appearance...mentally, of course.) Time passes without your aid for me.

[laurel_and_lyre]

Tick tock. Tick tock.

[yearly]

.. Please. [ he's heard every time pun, joke, and comment in existence. ]

[kingofthiscastle]

I'll have you recall, it was first a chiton.

[yearly]

It's not now, is it?

[kingofthiscastle]

That depends entirely on venue, company and occasion. And wine. The wine is paramount.

[yearly]

So, say it's a bad wine..?

[kingofthiscastle]

Must we speculate in directions that wound my heart?

[yearly]

You started us down this road. It's not my fault you don't like where it's going.

[kingofthiscastle]

I hesitate to deny you any merits so due.

[yearly]

If it's going to hurt your feelings..

[kingofthiscastle]

You will find more reason for enjoyment.

[yearly]

I'm not actually that sort of concept.

[kingofthiscastle]

Shall I offer to give you... time?

[yearly]

[ ZEUS PLS. ] I could absolutely kick you in the shin for that. I think I'd be justified.

[kingofthiscastle]

Please do. You might even reach.

[yearly]

.. It could be worse. I could be stuck in the first part of my cycle. [ he's like five then. ]

[kingofthiscastle]

And I could smite you.

The world presents us with countless possibilities.

[yearly]

You could try, though I'm not sure why you'd want to. [ concept. ]

[kingofthiscastle]

The exercise of my self-given right to torment you?

gets PJO all up in your classical mythology

[riptidetogo]

Kronos. And here I thought our next meeting wouldn't involve you possessing another kid. Or wouldn't happen at all, since last time I checked, you were dust on the wind.

[yep, son of Poseidon right here, sup. and he's more than a little tense, despite the joking. though you seem. different. less crazy evil kill everything and take over, let's say]

Nice to see you got your priorities straight, though. That a cycle, too?

[darkish]

[ Hi grandpa. ]

I don't know how anyone of his peers put up with him.
