I know your mother very well, and intimately.

"I have done His bidding. My life's work is in His name!"
"Your life's work makes Him puke."

"Morpheus...?"

He strains a bit, struggling to put face and legend to name.

"Ah, son of Hypnos. A wise position, I could hardly take offense.

Humans ought to be afraid. Death is humbling. Once they think they're beyond her grasp, they become insufferable. Like me, for example."

"More like a blessing? You are certainly not missing much. Death does wonders on a man's personality.

You need not concern yourself with any perceived shortcomings. I can adapt. Far better that way, infact."

"Hmhm. My statement was not to rush to shut the gates, but rather not to punish any soul who wandered in. It just seems unnecessarily cruel."

"Hoh. Certainly not the first time I've heard that, but if Hades managed to claim my soul, I'd say he very well deserved to have it.

On the other hand, if one did not want visitors, they should surely focus on closing their front door. Rather than punishing whomever managed to find their way in."

"Interesting how the minds of gods and demigods work. Prioritizing their own ruminations over the creatures that stand before them.

You are quite impolite, but then again, so are most divinities."

"Something troubling you?"

Completely unrelated.

This bitch.

HEY, HEY DON'T YOU DARE GO TO SLEEP ON ME NOW! HEY!!

You can't wait eight minutes?

Not at all. Instead, I now feel I didn't sound eager enough. Perhaps I'll beg next time.

( He's probably joking.

He might not be joking. )

Yeah, I'm not celebrating a weekly holiday.

I'll be back in twelve minutes.

Oh.

Is this like a monthly affair?

Did you hear? Tomorrow is Witch Wednesday.

When's that?

"I tend to think of myself as cordial and friendly. It's only odd because you have a false impression of me."

// I can give you my highly antagonistic vampire who is damn near impossible to befriend

"Is there not joy to a warm welcome? It is a simple thing to find joy in. You... Are awfully gloomy."

"August, for one."

He pauses. "You should also be more happy to be greeted by me. That doesn't happen often."

"The two or three people who enjoy your presence."

"Eh? But you just got here! You can't depart so soon! At least say hello to everyone."

"Morning, sleepyhead."

// Nothing major, will get them back soon-ish. However, less distractions. I am now forced to get back to people on certain accounts. Huzzah.

// yeah!!!! 🥺🥺🥺

// Only reason I haven't done it yet is because I'd have to email the program runner for my source code, and social interaction is my krypronite. I'll probably just manually scroll through the account and add all the quotes back, though.
