Erebus sweeps around a corner and spots a group of gods and godesses, mainly recognizing Psyche from her role as Eros' wife.
"Greetings."
Her voice was sonorous, a symphony of soft, sultry notes bringing to mind the late hours of a night without moon or hint of starlight, and a slight rasp to remind those that hear her voice that she was Darkness, ancient and powerful.
psyche turned around abruptly, arm still linked with eros's, inadvertently making him turn around as well, "erebus! it feels like forever since we met. what brings you here?" she said, in a bubbly tone, psyche couldn't actually remember how exactly they knew each other. she was just hoping no one bothered to bring it up.
"I wished to see how all of my children and grandchildren. . . and my grandchildren's children. . . are doing. It has been too long since I have seen any of my family, beyond my dearest husband," Erebus replies, though something about the way the word "dearest" twisted as she said it, almost as if she were cursing him, made everyone wonder how they were doing.
she laughed awkwardly, "well, everything's been fine up here, except zeus being zeus, you know?" Her usual light and cheery voice wavered slightly with a tinge of nervousness. it was safe to say erebus intimidated her quite a bit, "say, how are you and your husband anyhow?"
Apollo flashed into existence in a burst of light. "Why are we here again?" he asked. "And why- oh. I'm not wearing pants. Oh well."
(dies and falls into the river styx.)
(heehee)
"Di immortales. . ." Erebus sighs. "Zeus did it again?"
At the question, the nearby torches are snuffed out with the blast of icy darkness that emanates from the goddess of darkness.
"We are. . . fine. He is simply being a. . . difficult. . . man," she says, her voice as freezing as the darkness that had engulfed the hallway.
As soon as Apollo appears without pants, flashing all of them, Erebus screeches.
"PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON YOU GOLDEN MONKEY!"
"Oh, you want a piece of this? Do you? Do you? I'll give you a piece of this. Come get some. Don't worry, I promise I'm delicious!" Apollo moved closer to Erebus, pointedly not putting pants on.
(Does. . . does Apollo know the ammount of danger he's currently in?)
(Jumps in having a no i don't attitude about the fact i may have ADHD while avoiding schoolwork So when is the kid going to respond to Persephone?)
(yes he does)
(Good, this makes this so much funnier to everyone else who doesn't.)
Erebus, being a woman with no interest in men who literally and figurative;y flash you without warning, does the logical things: she kicks Apollo in the crotch.
Also being a woman with some class, she sends him through the ceiling of the hallway by doing so.
(omg I leave for a day and Apollo does what now??? jeeeeez… totally agree with Erebus)
"OWWWWWWWWW!!!" Apollo shouted, "Jeez woman, do you have to kick so hard?" Apollo fell back down through his hole on the ceiling, and, once he wasn't doubled over in pain, summoned his bow and began rapid firing arrows at Erebus.
Erebus blinks and the whole palace goes blindingly, suffocatingly dark as she gets more pissed and less stunned.
She grabs Apollo by the throat - not in a sexual, haha funny kinky way, more in a "I will kill you" way - and Erebus' eyes gleam with a dark unlight.
"Are you sure you wish to try and fight me?" she asks silkily.
"Um, maybe? Well, actually-" Apollo kicked her in the breasts, back flipping away and out of her grip, then vanished in a burst of light.
(. . .)
(Apollo, you have a death wish.)
(Also, can I say that I have given Erebus the size breasts I wish I had at times? [A.K.A. unrealistically huge and wibbly womble bingers.])
Erebus looks like she has murder on her mind.
"I hate that pesky sun god. . . his haikus suck, as does his interior decorating," she mutters.
(Yes, I did just say that. Why? Because why not. :)
psyche felt like she just snapped out of a daze, she didn't even see most of what happened through the darkness, but decided it might be best to leave and let her cool down.. or kill apollo. but whichever she did, psyche wasn't sure she wanted to be a witness.
"haha, men. am i right?" she said, trying to keep her voice from shaking. she turned and started almost dragging eros behind her.
Eros walked alongside Psyche. "Its still nice to pretend we can teach him anything" He sighed, still processing the scene that just played out. (Girlboss moment Erebus)
(apollos gonna hide for a minute)
(It's not that that isn't a good idea. It's just. . . Phoebus Apollo, you sincerely fucked up. Erebus is a primordial god and you're just an Olympian. There's nothing stopping her from erasing you entirely-)
(ya he knows. he also doesnt know how to think)
(silly little Appilo)
(yes I know I spelled that wrong)
