on potentially home-hunting

[dielikeyouwantme]

What do you mean, "you're not sure"? Wasn't I only just telling someone~ that second guessing is supremely unattractive? It's not any more handsome on your little mug, I can say that much for certain.

I'm a sight better judge of these things than you are, love. And why shouldn't I be? Haven't I been alive long enough? Don't I have a better sense of what's too much to handle? You can do it, and I'm apt to get bored with you, if you don't.

[And she really isn't phased. Frankly, she's used to supervisors attempting to intimidate her. If she had one on her, she'd whip out the nailfile and ignore him completely.]

Did you, dear? I wasn't listening particularly hard.

Sorry about that o7

[god_not_goth]

[Snapping he would run towards Grell with the intent of grabbing her neck.]

You disgrace my name and now you joke with me?!

[His speed was clearly that of supernatural prowess and if he managed to grab her neck she would find his strength was beyond that of a mortal as well.]

oh you're more than fine

[dielikeyouwantme]

[What, she wonders, is this fellow's deal? His fingers graze the chain that hangs from her glasses, as she springs back, jostling the frames down the bridge of her nose. Her vision is blurry, for a moment, before she tosses her head, knocking them back into place.]

Our first night out, and you're already getting handsy. My, you're not quite the gentleman, are you? Do I know you, from somewhere?

[god_not_goth]

[Grell was faster than he expected. He glared at her.]

I am Hades. Lord of the dead. I've seen what you've done as a reaper and I don't believe you deserve the title.

[dielikeyouwantme]

[And it would appear there's a bit of high ground, on this amorphous street d_m has seen fit to grace us with: a porch roof, though Grell figures Hades could easily hop up, as well, if he really wanted to follow her. But for the moment, she looks down at him, crouched, with her head cocked slightly to the side, and hair spilling over her shoulder like a curtain.]

You'd think I'd recall a name like that, from the staff roster.

[There's still a sarcastic tone, there. She has heard of him, but never in the context of having much to do with Reaper Dispatch.]

You'll have to take up any question of my employment with my dear William. I'm afraid he's the only one I'd let coax the good behaviour out of me.

[god_not_goth]

Who said I would bother letting you prove yourself to be a failure again?

[Rather than jumping Grell would just find Hades had appeared next to her.]

I'll simply take you to the underworld where you can rot for eternity.

[dielikeyouwantme]

[If she really feels threatened, she can pull her chainsaw out of the ether, but, for the moment, she's content keeping what feels like a decent distance between the two of them.]

I don't suppose you keep demons down there, do you? I'm rather fond of demons. Pretty things, really. Lovely claws, eyes to~ die~ for~. It doesn't sound like much of a punishment, you know.

[god_not_goth]

Not particularly. Though I suppose I could find one to torture you for eternity if it will make you more agreeable to come along quietly.

[dielikeyouwantme]

That sounds positively titillating. See, I knew you had it in you, all along. You do know how to woo a lady. But I must say, I think my demon might twist himself into a jealous snit, if I were to run away with one of yours.

[god_not_goth]

Well he can certainly try to retrieve you but I have a feeling he would simply leave you to have various parts of you ripped out on a daily basis.

[onlynatural]

That's an awfully hefty presumption.

[god_not_goth]

I assumed you would leave this reaper based on their transgressions against your master.

[onlynatural]

Seeing as she has never personally been a threat to my master, I see no point in allowing her to be dragged to the bowels of the underworld.

[god_not_goth]

But there must be a reason for you to stop me. I don't see you as the sort to take unnecessary action.

[onlynatural]

Oh, I wasn't stopping you. Merely making a comment. But I can promise you that it is indeed more trouble than it's worth.

[god_not_goth]

I'll take your word for it Sebastian. I already share a head-space with a version of this reaper. That one is already trouble.

[dielikeyouwantme]

He's been presuming all over me. Hold me, I'm dreadfully tired, now.

[Her head, his shoulder.]

[onlynatural]

[ Headpat -- and a smirk, of course. ]

Now, now. At the very least, he seems to be a friendly alternative to your William.

[dielikeyouwantme]

[Not that she can see that smirk. She likes this spot, and has decided to interpret the headpat as an excuse to burrow against his side.]

Hmph. He's not nearly as fun as Will. He didn't even take a proper swing at me.

[onlynatural]

[ Welp. He can deal. Patpat. ]

How awful.

[dielikeyouwantme]

Ah, no, I can just picture it now. A tale as tragic as that of Orpheus and Eurydice! ♥ He's quite the hand with a violin. Does your Persephone enjoy violin music? Do you? It's going to be delightful, this little play.

[god_not_goth]

I must say, I am a little more hesitant to take you to the underworld. Not out of fear but simply due to the fact that it seems to be more trouble than it's worth.

[dielikeyouwantme]

Hmph. Just like the other boys, getting me all excited, and then crushing my every hope.

[god_not_goth]

[Excuse him he is just going to roll his eyes.]

At this point I may just let your superiors deal with you. I don't want to bring that Butler's wrath on my home since for whatever reason he will defend you.

[dielikeyouwantme]

We're friends, now, you know. No, I don't suppose you do know, the way you carry on with folks you've never met.
