[He pulls him in for a hug and then lets him back.]

I always wondered if I would be well received by Five's siblings. Not that I don't find you delightful by your own merit. But it was always a bit of a worry.

I mean, I don't super remember a lot about us, especially as adults, but... I'm just gonna say that I think you'd be okay. You care about him, which is more than we do for each other most of the time.

But what if I'm a terrible murder and just was waiting for the perfect family outing to tell all of you.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

I mean... You'd fit right in with the fam?

I’ve heard Diego is rather by the book and some of what I’ve done can be considered morally questionable.

But I do appreciate the confidence. And I then suppose I should give you my real name. Alexander is one to match my unit. And Emet-Selch is my title.

My real name is Hades.

[ blinks. a few times. ]

Like--the god?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

I’ve been told the name is synonymous with the God of the Underworld from your star. I have read the tales, curious as I was.

But yes it does seem we share it. Though it has no such meaning from where I’m from.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Oh cool, no relation, gotcha. Uh. What do you want me to call you?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Whatever you like in private. Just not Hades in public.

--What if I stick with Alex? Least likely to mess things up that way. Unless you...have a pref?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Alex is also fine. I simply thought I would let you know. I would not want to hide it from you.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

...Why, though? Like, I appreciate it a ton, don't get me wrong? But...why?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

[He kind of stares at him dumbfounded. He’s been hounded recently on being too cagey and not upfront so....

...what?]

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

What! Don't look at me like that! I just mean, like, I'm not really, y'know... Super trustworthy??

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

And yet I am enjoying your company more than most others. The only danger you could do with it is sell it to a host which I highly doubt you will do.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

[ wrinkles his nose ]

Why would I do that? ...A host?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Precisely. I have naught to fear from telling it to you, and you have rightfully earned it.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

[ nudges him with an elbow, but ducking his head with a grin. ]

I haven't done shit.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Are you not taking care of me and keeping me company at this very moment? All gestures need not be grand.

It took Five a while to understand that as well.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

You kinda have a low bar huh.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

I have excellent taste I’ll have you know. You just don’t think highly of yourself.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

I think I'm great! I also just think I'm trash. It's not mutually exclusive~.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Then allow me to bask in your unconventional greatness.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

It's all a matter of perspective!

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Answer me this then. Who would you consider a high bar?
