[shi qingxuan smiles and waves back, then looks around at their surroundings. pretty...]

I was just out for a walk, but - wow, this place is really beautiful. Is it somewhere you've been before?

[callmemeg]

Nope.

[ she pops the p lmao. ]

Just wanted a peek into the life of a princess. I could have been one in another life, you know.

[shiftingwinds]

Another life? I would have believed you were one in this life!

[callmemeg]

That's sweet, but flattery will get you nowhere. I'm no princess - just a simple girl who went to public school with everyone else.

[shiftingwinds]

Is it really flattery if it's true?

[she smiles]

[callmemeg]

Sure it is. But maybe that'll get you a few extra points for noticing.

[shiftingwinds]

I do like extra points!

[extra points at what, sqx.]

Anyway... this is what buildings look like where you come from? Or, some of them, anyway?

[callmemeg]

[ someone out there is keeping track, probably ]

Only if you're one of the rich and famous. So... not any kind of life I'll ever really know.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, you never know. You could get there someday!

[she seems young! she's got plenty of time to become rich and famous!]

[callmemeg]

Appreciate the vote of confidence, but I think I'll settle for not being anyone's errand girl anymore.

[shiftingwinds]

...errand girl?

[callmemeg]

[ SHRUGS. ]

You know how it is. Work for a god, and they'll make the lowly mortal do all the dirty work.

[shiftingwinds]

[frowns.]

That is not how gods are meant to do things.

[callmemeg]

[ scoff! ]

Tell that to Hades.

[shiftingwinds]

Gladly. It sounds like this Hades needs to learn how gods ought to act.

[callmemeg]

What, you mean gods in your world don't enslave mortals and use them as pawns for a coup? Well, that is a new one.

[ greek gods are terrible, text it ]

[shiftingwinds]

Well, I've certainly never done that, and none of the gods I'm close to have either.

[the very idea makes her pretty mad actually? what the fuck kind of gods are out there? she's going to go give hades a piece of her mind after this.]

[callmemeg]

[ meg just. raises an eyebrow, and slowly sits up a little straighter. ]

Are you saying you're a god?

[ HELLO? ]

[shiftingwinds]

[oh


surprise!]

God of the winds, at your service.

[callmemeg]

...I see. We've got a few of those back home, too.

[ meg is... not really sure how she feels about being among gods, honestly. ]

Well, good to know not all gods are like Hades, I suppose.

[shiftingwinds]

If he's causing you trouble, I'm sure I could have a ... little chat with him once we're finished here.

[a. friendly little chat.]

[callmemeg]

[ she looks like she's considering it, but... in the end, she sighs. ]

As much as I'd love to see that, somehow I get the feeling it would just make my situation worse.

[shiftingwinds]

...

[f r o w n s. what a terrible god this hades is!]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[callmemeg]

[ waves a hand and settles back down on her chaise. ]

Don't be. It's my own fault for taking the deal in the first place.

[shiftingwinds]

I don't know about that. He's the one who offered it - and gods have to know, mortals are likely to listen to them...

[she frowns]

...anyway, I'm not sure what you came here for, but whatever it is - I hope it means you won't have to deal with him after this.
