Περσεφόνη is an epithet. Persephone has always been the Destroyer, and I've always been Persephone.


Maybe I don't have anything else, but that doesn't make it less true.

[earlybird]

I don't think so, freak.

[ Boy is rude. ]

What kind of game are you playing here?

[ He doesn't believe for a single second that Scarecrow's seriously trying to reform. ]

[apotheoppose]

That's the best you have? "You had a job?" Well, I did that job. I did that job until I killed myself rather than do it for another year.

[pummelgranite]

[ record scratch ]


Wait, you what?

[apotheoppose]

I killed myself.

...Ananke helped. But it was my decision.

[pummelgranite]

Yeah, I'll bet she did . . .


[ But the comment comes out muttered and disturbed, rather than the other forceful barbs. She's suddenly not looking at Tara's mask, or anything about her at all. ]

[apotheoppose]

Nobody found my note?

[Like. Tara figured the note would make what happened clear, if nothing else.]

[restingstitchface]

[Wow. Now he'll get Batman just to spite the little shit.]

A game? Do you believe I'd extend my efforts on a game with a child like you? Research is my life. I am adapting to utelize the opportunity afforded to me. This is a challenge, an intellectual one, fielded by a bully and a coward.

[And because he can't escape the curse of the meme.]

I am not a coward.

[pummelgranite]

[ Man, she dislikes Tara as much as any other reasonable sentient creature, but her stomach drops. she looks vaguely ill. Boy would this be a great time to be able to lie. ]


Ananke burned the whole suite, to frame Baphomet. Like she did to Inanna, and my family.

[apotheoppose]

What? Why would she do that?

[earlybird]

I'd believe it, but then again, I'm no child.

You only think you're not a coward. But men like you are nothing but shifty rats, scrabbling and biting for a piece of greatness. Do you want to be remembered, Crane? Recognized for your work?

[ Two can play this game, whether or not it's acknowledged as one. ]

[restingstitchface]

Those intelligent enough to use cunning are called worse than that, I assure you. Yet when the physically gifted use their abilities it's called heroism. It's hypocritical enough that it isn't even amusing.

And yes, yes I want recognition, but recognition is not all I want. I want the thrill of discovery. And, just as importantly, I want people scared of me.

[heliophilic]

You'd be amazed how creative I can be with the right motivation.

[earlybird]

Weak and delusional.

[ Damian laughs. Right in his face. At least someone is amused here. ]

Who would be afraid of you? Take away your toys and you're more of a clown than the Joker was.

[aboveand]

Didn't someone kill him?

[A stab in the dark. Didn't most "great" rulers people still talk about get killed?]

No one's saying you aren't talented, twip. Doesn't make you any less 12.

[restingstitchface]

[He smiles it away. Such bravado! Such fear.]

And you're choosing to talk to me. Perhaps the clown here is you. Take away your toys and you're less capable a hero than your father. It's quite charming, really.

[Adorable!]

[musclemothers]

Look, I got the opportunity to be a supervillain. I'm talking dozens of henchmen, a factory that's a well oiled machine, success, those dumb little uniforms...

I said no. That answer your question?

[hardedged]

Shit. [ ... ] Sorry.

[hardedged]

Why do you keep saying that?

[ it's annoying, okay. and no, jess can't even deny that she worries because she can't lie right now. #fml ]

[hardedged]

From doing what I have to.

[ ... ]

Better than the alternative.

[hardedged]

[ jess snorts, though she cracks a small, uncertain smile. ]

How romantic.

[hardedged]

Yeah well, the feeling's mutual.

[magnitudes]

Thanks for that, nice to know our situation is so healthy.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

My deal? I guess it's... I just try to help people? I mean, that pretty much sums it up.

... and oh my god do not even get me started on Ratatoskr! She was such a little smack-talking jerk!

[hardedged]

If you're trying to change the subject, you'll have to do better than that.

So spill. I need details on this bastard.
