THE DRESSING UP MEME

Rules:

♢ Post a top level with the character name and canon

♢ Reply to others, with your character dressing them up for whatever reason. Scenarios are available if you can't think up one yourself.

♢ ???

♢ Profit

Scenarios:

1 ♢ Bet - Congrats, you've lost a bet, and that means letting the other person dress you up. Fingers crossed that they're merciful.

2 ♢ Kink - That's right. Whether uniform, costume, or very liberal ideas of what constitutes an outfit and not 'public indecency', you've convinced this poor sod into letting you play dress up with them.

3 ♢ Incognito - This time, it's all work. Really. That's your excuse, and you're sticking to it.

4 ♢ Halloween - Whether you're actually trick or treating or you're just attending some sort of costume party, you're the one in charge of costumes tonight.

5 ♢ Wild Card - Do you need a reason to dress up?

Need an idea for some clothes?: Here, have at you.

hades ( lore olympus )

[aoratos]

[ first time playing him or picking anyone up from this canon so apologies ahead for any inconsistencies as I get a feel for him! ]

[waterproofed]

Dude, why are you blue?

[Tactful as always, Percy]

[aoratos]

[ ... dude? Boy. ]

I don't know. Why are you beige?

[waterproofed]

Okay, good point. If you gotta be a color, blue is an awesome one to be.

[aoratos]

Well-- [ Wait, that's a compliment. He stops and clears his throat. ] I'm not sure 'awesome' is what I'd aim for personally, but thanks.

[ He eyes Percy's flashy costume. ] What are you wearing?

[waterproofed]

[Percy makes a face and tugs on the collar of his shirt]

I have a college interview. My girlfriend said I had to dress up to impress them.

[aoratos]

I see. [ He looks ahead. ] She's not wrong. Especially in Olympus, they don't just take any half-mortal into their schools.

[ It's a miracle Percy's even allowed in here, but he supposes being a son of one of the big three comes with its perks, even for a mortal. ]

[waterproofed]

Uhh. Since when did Olympus have a school?

[aoratos]

[ Staring flatly at the boy. ]

Since centuries ago. Do you expect Olympians to be born knowing all there is to know?

Have you ever been to Olympus?

[waterproofed]

[That feels like a trick question]

Sure. Like, a bunch of times. I mean, not in a while, but I figured everyone’s still a little weird from the emperors and stuff.

[aoratos]

[ Hades chuckles under his breath, a muted sound. ]

I don't think you have seen the real Olympus.

[ Not that it surprises him. Mortals usually don't get even a glimpse of it. ]

So, if you don't know where this train really is headed, I'm guessing you received some mysterious letter to come to an interview? [ He holds out a hand. ] Show me.

[waterproofed]

And you have, weird blue guy?

Uh, no, not really? I mean, I just asked Reyna to set up the interview for me.

[aoratos]

[ You're cute, boy. Really. ]

Seen as I am an Olympian by birth, yes, I would say that I have.

[waterproofed]

So which one are you? [It's not a disguise he recognizes, but he's rolling with it]

[aoratos]

[ It's not a disguise, excuse you!! This is all Real Him, thanks. ]

Let's say my office is on a level much below the ground you'll be walking on.

[ He hands the boy his business card. ]

Which one are you a son of? [ Which God, he means. He can sense it in the young mortal. ]

[waterproofed]

[Ugh, reading. He narrows in on the Greek word. He frowns, glancing at that and then the blue guy and back again]

Oh. Different universe, I guess. You don't look anything like the Hades I know.

Poseidon.

[aoratos]

That's surprising to hear.

[ He always seems to be exactly what people expect. Then again, that's the image he tries to maintain. There's a reputation to upkeep, as the King of the Underworld. ]

Hmm. So we're relatives, in a way. [ Not even blinking an eye that both his dumbass brothers are sprouting children all around the world. Zero surprise there. ] What's your name?

[waterproofed]

Yep. [They're really not supposed to, but. You know] Percy Jackson. I'm a friend of your kids, too. Uh, other version of you, I mean.

[aoratos]

[ That gives Hades some pause. Some real pause. His eyes even widen for the flicker of a second before he looks ahead, expression hardened. ]

Must be. I have no children.

[ He can't even have children, so. ]

[waterproofed]

None at all? Huh. Our worlds are super different. But Persephone is probably happy about that.

[aoratos]

What? Why would you say that? Why would she care about that?

[ Well, that's one way to make him react. ]

[waterproofed]

Uhhh, she's your wife?

[aoratos]

[ He opens his mouth. Closes it again. He's steadily turning a much darker shade of blue. ]

No. N-no, no, sh-she isn't? She isn't, no.

[waterproofed]

[What is even happening right now]

Yeah. You guys have been together forever. Or I guess you will be. Weird how that hasn't happened to you yet. You must be from way in the past.

[aoratos]

[ Juuuust gonna keep his eyes ahead and try to act like none of this is totally messing with his head right now, thank you. ]

Your reality is very different from mine. P-Per-- she and I won't be together.

[ It's fine, absolutely fine. He's not upset, what do you mean. ]
