Voicetesting Zelos | Greek Mythology

[zealed]

You didn't think there were enough of us in that tiny head of yours as it is, so you though it would be a good idea to add me to the pile just so you can ignore me in favor of more interesting pursuits as soon as the novelty wears off?

Charming.

[stonesandbones]

Here I'd argue that's preferable to having her actually pay all that much attention to you.

[zealed]

If I'm going to be stuck here I don't want to be a spectator.

[stonesandbones]

Ten to one you're going to regret making that demand.

[zealed]

I think you're getting our muns mixed up, this one is too tenderhearted to do much harm.

[stonesandbones]

Maybe. Though as far as I know, yours tends to go after emotions.

I'd be wary, but then, I'm mortal.

[zealed]

The day I'm wary of this little louse is the day I no longer deserve to exist.

Mortal and marked, is what you are. How is your charming goddess?

[stonesandbones]

Then I'll better not hold my breath.

[He inclines his head and shrugs.]

That I am. Also brown-eyed and relatively witty, if we're listing my attributes.

She is as she is. Divine. Ineffable. Annoying, at times.

[zealed]

You could, but it wouldn't do much good.

Is witty what they're calling it these days? All deities are annoying. I think it's in our job description.

[stonesandbones]

It's what I call it right now, which serves me well enough.

Not all of you. [He's biased.] But the ones that are excel at it.

[zealed]

[ Eyebrow raise. ]

Not all of us? And who is it that's managed to attain such a distinguished position?

[ Envy is one of the silliest emotions in the world, so yes, he is now envious of whoever it is that has managed to not be annoying, in spite of the fact that he often actively strives to be annoying himself. Good job, Zelos. ]

[stonesandbones]

Telling you something like that would really be a sign of disrespect when you think about it.

I try not to make a habit out of underestimating gods. Or pitting them against each other. I tend to end up in the middle.

[zealed]

Very clever. Might want to consder the fact that you're pitting me against you now though.

I'm not one of the gentler examples of my kind.

[stonesandbones]

Oh, true enough. But I've considered and you know I'm marked.

I don't think it'd be worth it for you.

[zealed]

[ That gets a laugh. ]

You don't know me very well at all, do you? Just because some celestial cunt has put her mark on you it doesn't make you safe. I break other people's toys, little man. It's what I do.

[ Even when he has to pay dearly for it in the end. ]

[stonesandbones]

Not safe, no. But there's not a whole lot sacred to me, so I'll just bet on being safe enough not to betray it.

[In the end, there's not a lot one can count on when dealing with gods.]

[zealed]

Oh, you are so fucked.

[stonesandbones]

What else is new?

[jeebies]

You are no fun.

[zealed]

Good thing you're around to pick up the slack, then.

[ Is that a little bit of sarcasm? Possibly, though he can be genuinely charming when he wants to be. ]

[jeebies]

[ Seriously. Zeus and Hera made Hebe just to mess with you, probably. ]

I'm still going to put tacks on Dad's chair before the week is out, Zellie.

[zealed]

[ This is definitely his current theory.

Now he holds up a finger. ]

Firstly, don't call me Zellie.

[ A second finger joins it. ]

Secondly, no you won't.

[jeebies]

I've been calling you Zellie since I was little. You're going to keep telling me not to?

[ Snorts. ]

Yeah, I will. Just like I did last week.

[zealed]

It's tradition.

[ His tone could not possibly be any drier at this point. ]

Aren't you sick of that prank yet?

[jeebies]

Like you're bad mug.

[ Rolling eyes. ]

Don't worry. I'll come up with something new. I always do!

[zealed]

When it comes to having faith in your ability to make a nuisance of yourself, I never worry.

[jeebies]

What can I say. I'm Daddy's little girl.

[zealed]

You're daddy's little monster.

[ Who makes his little enforcer very tired. ]

[jeebies]

Like father like daughter.

[zealed]

You don't seriously think you can goad me into badmouthing the boss, do you?

[jeebies]

You already kinda just did. So, ha ha ha.

[zealed]

[ One of these days he'll stop getting outmaneuvered by a kid. (Not likely, sucks to be him). ]

How about you go bother some other enforcer for a while so I can let the brilliance of your tactical wit sink in properly.
