So totally new! And I apologize in advance for the song.

[perceptive_purple]

Say what you will, but I absolutely love this place compared to, you know, the place I was before (it's like your friends say, you don't want to give energy to bad things by saying their name; my husband knows something about that... not that he's inherently bad or anything). Here, you can just breathe the openness, the sheer creativity... Just the name "Dreamwidth" is ingenious and inspiring.

I feel alive here. I feel I can finally be my true, artistic self... Ah, I can already feel a song coming! Wait a sec... Okay, I got it.

[Soft rock music starts playing. Hey, she's a goddess, she can get away with stuff like this.]

Since they changed the whole service
machines are crashing all the time
What does an Edit button mean when
what is missing is the subject line?

To think that on their birthdays or Christmas
I used to get my friends paid time!
But now it's time somebody showed them
from me they won't get... a single dime!
Goodbye, my friends, I'm moving to Dreamwidth!
But it is you that I want to be with!
So come aboard! Get on this ship!
Hey, everybody, let's move to Dreamwidth!

... I'm aware it needs work - I just improvised. Like it, though?

- Persephone

Hey, that's great. Real cozy and inviting, a toe-tapper. [if he had toes...] No mystery about where you'd rather be.

"Not inherently bad", huh? Is that like indirectly good?

I'm flattered.

[perceptive_purple]

[She bows.]

... Hades. I am... really happy to see you here, you know? And... it means a lot to me that you appreciate my music.

[She blushes a little. Stop fangirling already, Perse. :< ]

How have you been?

[hadean]

Well I'm happy to be here, you got no idea how empty and--[whoa whoa the self pity train has to be derailed before it reaches the station]--boring it is kicking around up here.

Uh, so. [casual.] How about you? How've you been?

[perceptive_purple]

It's okay if you've been feeling lonely. I've been feeling lonely, too... I guess... I missed you.

I keep thinking that there's still a lot that I don't know about you, and... I'd like to spend more time with you, if it's not too much trouble. ... A-also, there's something I've been meaning to ask...

[hadean]

I missed you too. [wow that was easy.] ...uh...

No, no. No trouble, I got, what've I got going on, huh? I got a dust collection, that might suffer but hey, besides that, not much.

Ask away.

[perceptive_purple]

[Um, she finds herself blushing and completely unable to meet his gaze.]

... Would you sit for me? As in... pose. For a painting.

[hadean]

Yeesh. You must be really fond of depressing art. [playing it light, as usual] ...you're serious?

[perceptive_purple]

Well, I do happen to be quite fond of all that depicts grimness and despair. However...

[Putting her guitar aside, she draws her hands up and uses her thumbs and forefingers as a picture frame.]

With just the right lighting and angle, and if I manage to get you in a good enough mood, your portrait would be in my "Complete Awesome" portfolio instead of my "Depressing" one. I can already see it.

[hadean]

You really know how to flatter a guy. [pause...] Okay, I'll do it.

Where do you want me?

[perceptive_purple]

... Really? I didn't think you'd say yes... Thank you, Hades.

[She smiles at him.]

Ah, here's the thing. Think of the place where you're most comfortable in the Universe. A place that you feel can block your negative thoughts. That's where I want you.
