New muse is far too excited

[wonderprincess]

You cannot talk and talk about big games and quests and expect me to sit and wait, Mundane! I am itching for a good battle. Athena will be with us in battle, I assure you.

How do you say?

[A pause]

Ah, yes. Bring. It. On.

[red_of_the_dead]

That's the spirit! Hell yeah!

[demigoddess]

Sounds like your Mun has some place cool in mind, Diana. [ At least this reinforces Cassie's own warrior spirit. ]

[midnight_bliss]

Ah...A powerful warrior's spirit, that is undeniable...Yet, I sense it is not just words.

[god_not_goth]

You are one of Athena's warriors?

[wonderprincess]

I am glad you agree, sister.

[wonderprincess]

You know my name?

[No Wondergirl for this Princess, yet]

[red_of_the_dead]

Of course! We warrior women gotta stick together or the boys will try and have all the fun.

[wonderprincess]

Actions speak louder than words! I do not want to speak of battles, I want to take part in them.

[wonderprincess]

Indeed I am. I am the princess of the amazons, daughter of Hippolyta.

Who is asking?

[wonderprincess]

And we cannot allow that, can we? The world of men needs more warriors such as ourselves.

[god_not_goth]

Hades.

[It was a short answer but he needed to gauge the response of this amazon.]

[red_of_the_dead]

Exactly! If we weren't around they'd never get any better. They'd just get lazy without us to remind them who the stronger sex is. *Mildly unstable laughter*

[wonderprincess]

...Hades would not allow himself to be seen around mere humans. Surely you're lying.

[midnight_bliss]

Hhmmhmmmhmm-hah-hah! A woman after my own heart!

[god_not_goth]

My reasons for not involving myself with mortals before their death are more complex but also my own.

[He was used to people believing he wasn't Hades by now so he decided to simply show her.]

If you attempt to step through the gate you know what I would have to do.

[Hades gestured his hand to the ground, when he did a massive gate would rise up out of it.]

However this is a gate to the underworld.

[azure_intellect]

Well, you certainly sound eager. It's always good to have some enthusiasm, especially when it comes to the Muns. They have a tendency to...do very unkind things to us at times.

But excuse my rudeness: I haven't introduced myself. My name is Hank McCoy.

[super_whiner]

[Snorts and rolls his eyes.]

[4starsavior]

That's the spirit! ...Who's Athena?

[demigoddess]

[ Aww. But Cassie's still happy to see her.

She nods. ] But you don't know mine. [ But the young blond is grinning anyway. ] I'm Cassie. Nice to meet you, again. [ She means that. ]

[wonderprincess]

They have to be taught it is not about gender, it is a matter of willingness and training.

[wonderprincess]

Cassie. It is an honor to meet you, but I am afraid I do not remember you.

[wonderprincess]

I am glad you see things the same way I do. I just wish I could convince my mundane to let me join a battle somewhere.

[wonderprincess]

[She frowns.]

There is an easier way to make sure you tell the truth, I have the lasso with me. Flashing your powers so easily is not wise, and it would be a trouble if you ever got in a battle. You would not be able to surprise your opponent.

[Diana does not curr if you're a God battle comes first man]

You do not look like the Hades in my world.

[wonderprincess]

Princess Diana of Themyscira. I am not scared of 'unkind' things, I was raised to be able to handle them. I am sure nothing she can think of will be enough to scare me.

You speak very brightly yet you look like one of the underworld's creatures. What are you?

[Somebody doesn't care as much about rudeness as you do, Hank]

[wonderprincess]

If you have something to say you should speak up, man.

[wonderprincess]

Athena is the goddess that leads us through battle and gives us power and bravery.

[god_not_goth]

Lasso?

And I wouldnt use the gate to fight.

[red_of_the_dead]

Yeah exactly! And having the courage to have an unhealthy lack of self preservation!

[4starsavior]

Oh, okay! She must be pretty strong, huh? [Gods and goddesses usually are, by his experience.]

[sistertwister]

Being able to do something does sound nice, doesn't it?

[wonderprincess]

Being not afraid is not the same as not caring about your self-being. Always try to live to see another battle, sister.

[wonderprincess]

[He shows him the golden lasso.] It forces people to be honest.

I suppose you would not. Those who cross it have already been lost in battle, after all.

[red_of_the_dead]

Hmm...maybe that came out wrong. What I mean to say is, death and being hurt don't scare me nearly as much as leading a boring life. Is that better?

[wonderprincess]

She is, according to the legends.

Are you a warrior?

[wonderprincess]

It does indeed! I went to visit the world of men for a reason, and it was not to be held captive in a 'headspace'.

[wonderprincess]

Yes! That I can agree with.

[red_of_the_dead]

I have to ask though, How do you keep from you know...slips?

*Bounces a little to get her point across*

I've been trying a few things because well...I may be shameless but being exposed in conflict is only useful if it embarrasses my opponent into letting their guard down.

[4starsavior]

Yep! I've been fighting ever since I was a kid!

[sistertwister]

Well, the 'world of men' can be alright sometimes, in my experience.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.

[demigoddess]

Maybe you just haven't met me yet. [ A life without Wonder Woman? Cassie couldn't even imagine. So naturally, she hopes she will roll into the Amazon Princess's life soon. ]

At least you know we're on the same side, right? [ She asks, pointing to the "W" on her shirt. ]

So, planning any visits to Gateway City in the near future?

[azure_intellect]

I am a normal, ordinary man. Well, sort of. I am a mutant, a human with an active X-gene that gives me abilities. In my case, it gave me enhanced agility, strength, and blue fur.
