According to legend, Icarus was too am
bitious for his own good when he flew
too close to the sun, against his brilliant
father's instructions, and fell to his dea
th in the middle of the sea. A curious,
wide-eyed boy died because he wanted
to see the world, and this part is, at lea
st partially true. Icarus, who goes by
"Russel" in the human world, did, indeed
fall into the middle of the sea. He should
have died there, but somehow made it
out with his life. Still, his wanderlust had
yet to diminish. His optimism and child-
like wonder still guide him to this day,
getting him into unnecessary trouble.
Unlike most of the other people, he doe
sn't have much in the way of powers.
Like his father before him, he is a brilli
ant inventor and tinkerer, but that's ab
out it. He theorizes that he can fly on hi
s own or breathe underwater or somet
hing, since that's really the only way he
could have survived the massive fall,
but he has no proof to back up his idea.
So, instead of risking himself once more
to find out, he retired to building things.
It gives him quiet time to think and calm
himself down, for the he gets anxious.

-------------------------------------

While under the name Russel, he is a
renowned inventor, building random shit
for sometimes days at a time. He is very
creative and no one knows where any
of his ideas come from. Hell, he dreams
a lot of them during his quick cat-naps.
He is also known for his work in animal
welfare, since he loves animals with all
his heart. This won him favor with Arte
mis, but that doesn't always go well. Ru
ssel is famous in the engineering and
scientific communities, despite his desp
erate attempts to lay low as much as
he possibly can. Still, he isn't good at
avoiding the spotlight, since his childish
curiosity seems to outweigh his common
sense more times than not. He is extrem
ely intelligent, but has no idea how to
truly piece together his knowledge of the
world, leaving him at a massive disad
vantage pretty much every single day.

Hydra glanced back over at Rose once she gave him the okay to strip and transform, just to make sure she was looking away. Once that he saw she was, he back to undress, still blushing the whole time. Thankfully, in his hydra form he couldn't blush. Human bodies were so... weird and... expressive, but hey, it was a pretty nice body he had acquired for blending in with the mortal world.

Hydra tossed his clothes into a pile, now standing completely nude. He didn't dare look back at Rose just because of how deep his blush already was. Instead, he slowly stepped into the cold, murky waters of Lerna, only going in knees-deep before letting himself transform.

Contrary to popular belief, it was actually kind of painful to transform back and forth. I mean, after all, he was going from a six-foot-something body to a hundreds, if not thousands feet high body with fucking seven heads. Transformation wasn't a pretty site, and it wasn't necessarily enjoyable. However, it was usually pretty quick, and within a few strains, Hydra was back to being a ginormous, seven-headed monster of the lake. How wonderful. Now came the really tricky part. Telling Rose that she could see him now. Oh Gods, give him strength.


"Um, alright, you can turn around now," he told Rose, using only one of his heads to speak at a time so it wouldn't be as overwhelming. It was kind of weird being able to control so many heads again. Most people seemed to believe that one hydra consisted of many minds, but that wasn't true. A hydra was of one mind and one body. It was just Hydra doing all the work.

Hades was glad to finally be away from is ridiculous, idiotic brother. It was often exhausting to be around such an odious presence such as Zeus. Thankfully, Poseidon did not receive such genes from their father. Zeus was blessed with the looks, he the brains, and Poseidon the patience. Or, at least, that's how it sometimes appeared to be. Lately Poseidon didn't put up with as much as he used to when it came to Zeus. Perhaps Hades received more patience than he had thought.

He was quickly assured of that thought when Cerberus began to speak. A few minutes more of silence and Hades would have had to assume that his guard was dead. Cerberus asked if they were going home yet, clearly growing impatient of the mortal world, as was Hades. He also knew that Cerberus was a pretty large fan of Persephone who awaited their arrival back in the Underworld. Of course, Cerberus's love for Persephone was no surprise. Persephone was loved by all, but, naturally, Hades's love for her was unlike anyone else's. She was his treasured wife, and he too was eager to return to her. However, how Persephone ever dealt with Cerberus in such a calm manner was beyond him. Perhaps she was a true being of patience.


"We're going to Hermes right now, Cerberus," Hades sighed, the mail room appearing in Hades's sights as well Icarus. "On second thought, Cerberus, perhaps we should wait until Hermes isn't as... occupied."

Hermes was back to doing his usual of taking care of all the mail once he had transported Hydra and Rose to their desired location. Awhile had passed and he actually began to believe that he was going to get some godsdamn peace and quiet, but that was until he heard footsteps approaching. Godsdamnit!

When Hermes looked up to see who it was though, he was no longer as irritated. Quite the contrary, he was pleased when he saw none other than Icarus approaching him. A smile overcame his features of irritation, and he readied himself for his usual greeting of his friend, and yes, he actually considers this man to be his friend, Icarus.

Icarus approached his booth, asking if he had received a package, which indeed, he had, but Hermes was too focused on something else at the moment. Slowly, he opened his mouth and began to sing he song dedicated to his friend by a band that lived in the mortal world.
"Icarus is flying to close to the sun
And Icarus's life, it has only just begun
And this is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards an early grave!"


Hermes smiled smugly once he had finished the chorus, crossing his arms on the booth as he leaned on it towards Icarus. "How was that fall, Icarus? I mean, obviously you aren't dead. How did you manage that?" Hermes continued to tease, knowing good and well that Icarus was a good sport and didn't take his jokes to heart.

        [ location : lerna ] [ age : twenty-four ] [ role : demigod; poseidon ] [ tagged : hydra ]

          - - - - -Rose grew incredibly bored, staring at the dreary greyness she was forced to face while Hydra undressed. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't curious - not to see him naked, but to see him in his form before had time to groom himself or whatever - but she was respectful. Besides, she had no desire to see him naked at that moment in time. It'd be kinda creepy. She stood there, tapping her fingers against her hip in the rhythm of an old Metallica song for a bit. Rarely did she ever resort to something as boring as that.

          - - - - -She did, however, hear things and she didn't know how to feel about them. At first, the heard the crinkling of fabric, which was to be expected. It was what happened next that made her raise an eyebrow. She heard sloshing of water, which didn't mean much, followed by what sounded like straining. "Are you taking a shit?" she asked, not serious but serious enough. If that makes any sense.

          - - - - -After a few seconds, it was over and Hydra told her it was okay to turn around. Rose was suddenly thankful for her ability to communicate with water creatures. It came in handy, especially in times like this, but she still used them to talk to all of her fish as well. She's weird, okay? The blonde turned around to see a massive - and, seriously, like hella fucking massive - dragon-like snake with seven heads. The paintings did the size of Hydra no justice, nor did it capture the true appearance of her friend.

          - - - - -She took a step backward at first, but quickly corrected herself. "Wow," she muttered, tilting her head to the side, as if sizing him up. She could barely tell it was him - which was to be expected - but one thing never changed: his eyes, still rivaling the ocean in their depth and beauty. It really was him. She found relief in those eyes and it was a visible change in her demeanor. "Sexy," she teased, suddenly feeling comfortable enough to talk to him normally.

          - - - - -She then stripped out of her own clothes - she was wearing her swimsuit underneath and didn't feel the need to hide from Hydra - before walking into the water. Her sword was unsheathed, in her hand as she felt the rush of cold overcome her toes, then up to her knees so that she stood just a few feet from her friend. "Let's go out further. I can breathe underwater, so don't feel the need to stay close to the surface," she said, walking out further into the water.

          - - - - -Hades was a good master. He was a perfect master, as far as Cerberus was concerned, and the closest thing he had to a father. Well, Hades kind of created him - kind of, it's complicated - so he was his father. At least, that's what the dog constantly told people. His dad was the god of the underworld and their's was someone totally fucking lame. Did that make him a demigod? Gods, he sure hoped so. Demigods had all the fun and were totally rad and shit.

          - - - - -Cerberus perked up as soon as Hades decided to speak to him. He was just so fucking great he didn't know what to do. He had to find a way of telling his master that he was great, but how? I wonder how he feels about liver? he thought, tilting his head at the idea. "Hermes? Hermes is cool. Let's go hang out with Hermes,"he said, his voice all too enthusiastic. He gave Hades a grin, but it quickly faded when he completed his statement. "No Hermes? Does that mean no home?"

          - - - - -Icarus rolled his eyes the second Hermes caught sight of him. His friend had a nasty little habit of breaking into song every time he showed up. The engineer wouldn't care if it didn't make a mockery of his death. Or near death. Or whatever. Frankly, he didn't know how he survived. Maybe he didn't. Greeks were weird, so who the fuck even knows? Maybe Poseidon saved him? He didn't want to think about it. He didn't like to think about it, but it was all in good fun. Besides, all he had to do was move a package two inches to get the same effect out of his friend.

          - - - - -"Release me from the present,
          I'm obsessing all these questions,
          Why I'm in denial that they tried the suicidal session,
          Please use discretion when you're messing with the message, man,
          These lyrics aren't for everyone, only few understand."


          - - - - -Two could play at that game, kind of. Not really, but he tried anyway. He flashed a smile to his friend, one that showed he was slightly annoyed, but it quickly recovered. "The fall? Quite pleasant, actually, though the landing was a bit harsh," he quipped. "I guess I'm just tougher than you. How's the mail doing today?" he asked, smirking slightly. "I see you still haven't upgraded your system here," he observed.

        [ location : mailroom ] [ age : twenty ] [ role : demigod; aphrodite ] [ tagged : hades; cerberus; icarus; hermes ]

          - - - - -Juliet Pyke wasn't meant for the life of a demigod. Demigods were supposed to be warriors, or so she'd been told, but that just didn't suit her. She absolutely detested fighting and avoided it every chance she got. This line of work was not for her, but she didn't have a choice. They'd promised her protection, something you can't get from the outside world, in exchange for work. Luckily, she was good enough to charm her way into a less violent position, working publicity and covering up the existence of monsters. She was journalist in essence, as well as a secretary. The latter of the two was unfortunate to her, but it gave her something to do, so she only complained about it half of the time.


          - - - - -The daughter of Aphrodite had spent a fair amount of time readying herself at her desk, for no apparent reason. She just liked to make sure that her lipstick was in order before she was seen by the public eye. Her red hair was loosely braided and she wore what she considered to be a professional outfit, as she took time in her appearance. It was important not only for her job, but for her own sanity. Call her vain, but she could not fathom being underdressed. She stood up from her desk, straightening out the bottom of her dress as she felt her heels click against the ground.

          - - - - -She'd just gotten a text from Zeus. Something about getting something from the mailroom? Whatever, she didn't have a choice in the matter. She didn't feel like getting fired for telling the thunder god to do something himself, so she walked in that direction. Just outside of the mailroom, Hades and Cerberus stood. She fluffed Cerberus's curls, for she knew he was still a dog at heart. "Good Afternoon, Hades. Cerberus," she said, giving the guard of the underworld an endearing smile.

          - - - - -Then she strolled into the mailroom, finding Icarus and Hermes in what appeared to be competing in some kind of intense sing off. "I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" she asked, her light British accent coming out slightly.

Hydra braced himself as Rose turned around and took him in, taking a step back. Oh gods, she's scared. She's scared of him. He should have never done this. This wasn't a cool thing to do! Turning into a seven-headed monster in front of the girl you liked wasn't cool! Rose looked in his eyes though, and her whole demeanor seemed to change. Well... it had to have been shocking at first to see him like this. Not necessarily scary. Then Rose called him sexy, being sarcastic, or course. This form was anything but sexy.

Hydra rolled his eyes, but smiled nonetheless, until Rose started to remove her clothes. Wait, what? Um, no. No, no, no, no, no. What was she-- He then realized that she wore a swimsuit underneath her clothes, and one of his heads sighed in relief as she joined him in the water, sword at the ready.

Rose told him that they could go deeper, explaining that she could breathe under water.
"No way, dipshit," Hydra teased, following Rose deeper into Lerna. "You're only the daughter of the God of the Sea, I didn't think you could do water stuff," he continued to tease, most of his heads diving under the water. "Also, taking a shit? Really? I'll have you know going from completely gorgeous to this monstrosity is a bitch," he had to add before going all the way under water, his eyes able to see clearly in the murky water.

Hades rolled his eyes as Cerberus started to gush at the mere mention of Hermes, calling him "cool" and asking if they weren't going to go home. Honestly, it was hard dealing with someone that looked like they should have human intelligence, but still had the mind of a dog. It just made him seem more ditsy than usual, even though he was, still, just a dog in disguise.

"We're still going home, Cerberus, just not right now. I'd rather not have to socialize with others at the moment," he explained, looking at Icarus before taking Cerberus and hiding behind a wall so he wouldn't be seen. Of course, people approaching the mail room could still see him, and it just so happened that Juliet, the daughter of Aphrodite, was coming their way.

Hades readied himself for socialization, and sure enough, the girl came right up to them, ruffling Cerberus's hair, which Hades raised a brow at, and then greeting them kindly. That was the matter with Juliet, she always spoke so kindly to everyone. It was rather annoying, really, but she didn't have to talk to him at all. No one else really did. They either feared him or thought of him foully. Juliet, however, did not seem to think such things.

The girl continued to make her way to the mailroom where Hermes and Icarus were having some ridiculous battle of song, before interrupting. Hermes, of course, immediately looked embarrassed, blushing like a fool. Honestly, it was so obvious that the man had romantic feelings towards Juliet. However, Juliet didn't seem to know. There were always ways of getting someone to show the obvious more... obviously, and one of those ways, luckily, was anxiety. Something that Hades controlled. Why not have a bit of fun?

Before Hermes received an answer to his little jokes, Icarus began singing a song of his own by yet another band. His song, however, didn't exactly match the tone of mockery, but hey, at least the man tried, right? Then Hermes received his answer, Icarus talking about the fall he had, which he rarely did, finishing off by saying that he must be stronger than him. Hermes chuckled at that, though he did not question it. He was certainly no warrior, after all.

"The mail is fine," Hermes said in response to Icarus's question. "I've been sorting it all day, as usual, and no, no upgrades," he continued, turing around to grab his friend's package. "Nothing is more trustworthy than the hard work of a god anyways, so I don't need an upgrade."

It was then Hermes heard the voice of none other than Juliet, the girl he had an enormous crush on, and a sudden wave of immense anxiety filled his system. More than usual. Suddenly, he lost grip on the package he was holding, and struggled to keep it from hitting the ground for a few moments before mostly regaining his composure.

Hades had to be around here. This wasn't the first time he had pulled something like this, that bastard.

Hermes quickly turned around, which almost made him lose his footing before he slammed Icarus's package on the booth table, his face turning redder than a strawberry.
"Oh, um, hi Juliet. You are, uh, you're not, um, interrupting anything, nope," he babbled like a moron, meeting Juliet's eyes, which only heightened the anxiousness he was feeling. Her eyes were green like a lush forest, while her hair was the most beautiful shade of red. Her beauty was unmatchable, and to make matters worse, what she was wearing was extremely flattering on her, enhancing her perfect beauty. She was truly, the most gorgeous thing Hermes had ever seen, and her kindness was like a breath of fresh, Spring air to him. She was the kindest, most beautiful being in all the realms, and he felt like his heart was about to burst from her presence and the fact that Hades was just a dick.

"Um, how am I? I mean, you. You. How are you?"

          - - - - -Rose saw an initial panic in Hydra's eyes and she didn't know how to react. She wasn't afraid of him, of course. She knew him. He was seriously one of the most harmless people in the entire world as far as she was concerned. Frankly, she was more afraid of Hermes, which was saying something. She was surprised, is all, less by his actual appearance and more by his size, but he was still him, so she could relax. Eventually, Hydra's form showed that he felt the same, as if he'd actually calmed down from all of this. It was only awkward if they made it awkward, and she was trying her hardest to avoid that.

          - - - - -She heard a sigh of relief from one of the seven heads after she started stripping, and she looked back to her friend, raising an eyebrow. "You can relax. You're not seeing your first naked girl today," she said with a smirk. He should have guessed that she was clothed - kind of - but she could completely understand his initial panic. Kind of. The whole situation was weird as hell, okay? She was talking to a fucking seven headed snake thing from hell.

          - - - - -She rolled her eyes at the dipshit comment. "I also control tides and can kill you with a stick," she teased - neither of which her true. A really sharp stick maybe, but certainly not while he was outside of his human form. "Don't flatter yourself, blue eyes," she said when he made a comment about how gorgeous he was before shifting into his true form. He was telling the truth, but he couldn't know she felt that way. "So is being friends with a narcissist," she teased.

          - - - - -Then all of his heads went underwater and she followed suit, diving down and squinting until her eyes adjusted to the murky depths. Okay, so they never really adjusted. She couldn't see all that well. In fact, all she could follow was the large mass of reptile that she called a bestie and his bright blue eyes, that were somehow still shiny under the fucking water. Seriously, could he get anymore perfect? "So where do all the cool kids hang out?" She asked with a smirk.

          - - - - -"But I wanna go home nooooooow," he said, his version of a whimper in his human form. He wanted more than anything to chill with Persephone and be a dog again. He missed his teeth. He did so many cool things with those babies. He looked up at Hades and stuck out his lower lip in a pout, but quickly changed his mind when he felt a hand play in his hair. It was the closest thing he could get to a scratch behind the ears up here, so he was happy.

          - - - - -"Hi Juliet," he said with a smile. He still wanted to go home, but he managed to almost completely forget that bit of information while the red-head was around. She was just so nice to people and that was a pleasant change for Cerberus. I mean, Hades was the fucking greatest thing ever, but he was still a jerk to people sometimes. Cerberus loved him, but he could be mean occasionally and Juliet never was. Neither was Persephone. Okay, now he wanted to go back home.

          - - - - -That was when he followed Hades into the mailroom. Were they going to see Hermes? The messenger god was a pretty cool dude but Cerberus liked him the most because he gave him a way to go home. that made him pretty cool. He almost felt bad for him when he started stuttering like an idiot and he felt like his master had something to do with it, but it didn't matter. "Can we go home nooooow?"

          - - - - -"Sorting's a bitch. That's why I don't do it," said Icarus, giving his friend a lopsided grin. For a renowned inventor, Icarus was one of the most unorganized fucks in the entire world, he was sure he'd set some kind of record after all this time. Hermes, on the other hand, was far too passionate about mail to let anything stand in the way of doing a good job. Why? Icarus had no idea, but he respected the little guy for it. "We have machines for that sort of thing."

          - - - - -"Sure, you're good, but you know what could really help you relax? A conveyor belt system. Maybe a sorting machine? I have so many ideas that could make this whole thing run smoother," he said, but he cut himself off after a bit. Hermes probably didn't want to hear it. Besides, he was occupied by other things. Juliet, the daughter of Aphrodite, had just walked into the room, wearing an adorable green dress and flattering heels. It made the inventor, who was wearing sweat pants and torn flannel, look like a loser.

          - - - - -"Hi Juliet. Nope, not a thing. Hermes here was just sorting," he said, immediately turning the attention over to his friend, who was almost obsessed with the demigod. Poor guy. How the girl had never caught on was amazing, a secret that no one could quite figure out. When Hermes slammed his package on the table, obviously freaking out more than usual - which was saying something. Hades. Icarus couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Thanks. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to build a nuclear powered toaster or something."

          - - - - -Hades said absolutely nothing as she walked by, which didn't surprise her. The demigod had grown used to Hades being so silent. It was rare that anyone spoke to him that wasn't Cerberus. Or Zeus when he was asking for something dumb. Though, nine times out of ten, if Zeus wanted something dumb done, he'd just ask Juliet, his 'pretty little secretary', as he'd dubbed her. The thought almost made the girl roll her eyes. She walked past the two, giving Cerberus a quick smile as he greeted her.

          - - - - -When she walked in, Hermes lost control of the package he was holding, struggling through the air to catch it. Juliet couldn't help but stifle a small giggle. He was always so nervous, though she never quite understood why. She assumed that dealing with the mail of literally the entire universe was a stressful job, so she usually just attributed his jumpy personality to that. Again, the god almost lost his balance, slamming the package against a table and finally - hopefully - regaining his footing. "Are you alright there?"

          - - - - -He immediately returned to his usual, stuttering self. She'd be lying if she said it wasn't adorable, but she had a hard time understanding it as well. On top of that, she felt bad for him half of the time. The daughter of Aphrodite was rarely ever timid herself, but she'd gotten stage fright once or twice in her life and it was a nightmare. Of course, this was like that on steroids, so she could only pretend to understand. Gods, why was he so jumpy today?

          - - - - -She giggled again when he stumbled over his words once more. How am I? he had asked originally. She tilted her head slightly. "I'm fine. Just on another errand for the big guy," she asked. "He needed me to pick something up. I have no idea what the bloody hell it is, so I was hoping you could help me," he said, offering him a small smile, the nod and tilt of her head indicating that she was using charmspeak in an attempt to calm him down. She didn't know if it would work, for it seemed like someone else was influencing his emotions. "Are you feeling okay? You seem a little jumpy," she commented.

Hydra, much like Rose, rolled his many eyes when she started to say what other powers she has and how he was a narcissist . Oh yeah? Well one bite from him would be enough to kill an elephant. How's that for cool powers? Of course, it was also hella dangerous. If he were to be making out with a girl, for example, one tiny nick would kill her dead. Thank the gods that his mother was immune to hydra venom or else she would have been dead. Not by making out, of course, ew, but you know. Plus, she was already dead. Everyone he used to know was dead. He was the last hydra... but hey, you can't stay mad forever, right? And the narcissist part? Yeah, pretty much.

Hydra and Rose swam awhile, Rose catching up to him and swimming next to him. She asked where all the cool kids hung out, and Hydra had to laugh, which just came out as more of a weird sort of roar, but hey, she probably got the idea.
"Cool kids? Really?" he chuckled. "I'm the only cool kid in this lake. Everyone else just either wants to get away from me or try and kill me. It's a lot of fun," he replied gleefully, his heads all smiling with the same smile. "I guess if you want to see some really interesting stuff, though, the very bottom is perfect for that. Of course, it's also pretty dangerous, and, well, ya know, dark as hell."

To be honest, Hydra was really nervous about letting Rose swim to the depths of the lake. There were many things that could jump out and attack them, but Hydra was huge, so he could take them, but Rose was... small. However, he didn't say this because he knew Rose could handle herself and would probably feel insulted if he said such things, so he just kept them to himself.

Icarus took his package, announcing that he was going to leave and build a nuclear toaster. No! Godsdamnit, get back here! he screamed at his friend in his head. He was already a mess and he knew he'd only get worse with Icarus gone, but he was too embarrassed to actually call out for his friend. Wherever Hades was, Hermes was going to find him and kill him. If only that was possible...

Juliet explained what she was doing in the mailroom, saying that the big guy, who had to be Zeus, sent her here for something. Right, there was a package that came in for Zeus today. Juliet then smiled and nodded, Hermes suddenly feeling just a tiny bit more at ease. Right, charmspeak. It still wasn't strong enough though, especially when up against godsdamn Hades.

[color=#AB82FF]"Well, uh, um, yes, I can help you with the thing,"
began Hermes, running a hand through his hair and pushing his glasses further up his nose. "And, uh, yes, I'm fine. You look nice today, by the way." Curse you, Hades! Gods, he would have never said that! He was staring to want to spew everything out, but instead, he quickly turned around, face red as he searched for Zeus's package.

He found the package with ease, only tripping over his feet once before returning to Juliet, not looking at her. "Here ya, uh, go," he said, almost dropping the package again as he held it out to her. "Anything else you need? Because that's fine if there is. I don't mind. You're beautiful. Godsdamnit! I'm sorry. I think I'm going to go on break now." Hermes face-palmed himself particularly hard, embarrassed and trying to snap out of Hades's spell even though that was impossible.
