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.

Gods, nymphs, dryads, daemons. Any sentient being inhabiting Olympus.

[ It's wild. Granted, it has been a while since Hades himself has been in school, but Percy will come to find that his version of Olympus might be more familiar to him than he might think. Just... more familiar to his human world, instead. ]

Artemis does look young. [ She also looks crazy, just saying. Especially towards men. ] It's not the same as being young.

[ Looking nineteen and actually being nineteen are two very different things. Especially when Hades himself is at least a couple of millennia old. ]

[waterproofed]

Well, yeah, I know that. My brother is pretty young but he doesn't look it at all.

[Helpless headshake] Gotta be honest, it's still a little weird to think about. And my own world's pretty weird.

[aoratos]

What is weird to think about? Different worlds? Gods going to school?

[ He tilts his head. ] What is your world like? Tell me about it.

[waterproofed]

Okay. Well, all the gods exist. Like... all of them. We have friends who serve the Egyptian gods, and those who answer to the Norse gods. And right now we've got Roman emperors who came through when Thanatos was chained, and they're messing stuff up.

[This is the worst summary, Percy]

[aoratos]

[ It's the worst summary. It's so bad, actually, that Hades isn't even sure whether to believe it. He laughs under his breath, lifting a hand to cover up his own mouth. People don't exactly expect to see the King of the Underworld smiling. ]

Your world sounds messy enough as it is, even without the Romans.

[waterproofed]

Exactly. Which makes it a good thing that there's no school for gods in my world.

[aoratos]

You might find this world a little baffling, then. Your father all the more so.

[waterproofed]

[Yeah, god of the ocean is unfathomable. But still...] No offense, but I don't wanna know. I like the image I have of Poseidon.

[aoratos]

[ Hades quirks an eyebrow up at that. ] No offense taken. What is he like in your world, then?

[waterproofed]

Depends. He's the god of the ocean, so sometimes he can be calm and welcoming, and other times he's dangerous and wild. He can be friendly and encouraging, but kind of distant, too. But he's a cool guy. He loved my mom enough for me to be born, and my mom's the best person in the world. And he was pretty chill when he met my stepdad.

[Like with all demigods, Percy has complicated feelings about Poseidon. He loves his father and wants to do him proud, but doesn't really see the god a lot. For obvious reasons]

[aoratos]

[ Hades lets out a low, thoughtful hum, eyes going up for a moment. ]

Hmm. Maybe he's not that different from what you know, then.

[ Just... probably more of an idiot, really. But a lovable idiot, so there's that. ]

[waterproofed]

Oh. That's good. [Percy is a loveable idiot, so it works]

[aoratos]

[ Then he clearly is Poseidon's son. Must be in the genes.

Hades looks out the window. ] We're almost there. Do you need help or can you find your way?

[waterproofed]

I'm good. Hey, do you know if Iris is taking calls?

[aoratos]

She should be. She won't be hard to find-- just look up.

[ Where there is a rainbow, he will find her. ]

Looking to send a message?

[waterproofed]

[Cool. At least this works the same way. He's visibly relieved] Yeah. I just wanna check in with Annabeth.

[aoratos]

[ Hades looks at him with a little smile. ] Girlfriend?

[waterproofed]

Yep. She's gonna be an architect and I'm gonna... also learn stuff.

[aoratos]

Ah, how very ambitious of you.

[ He can't help that note of amusement, excuse him. ]

Well, should you need anything from me, you know how to get in touch now.

[ Just tap twice, pretty much. ]

[waterproofed]

Uh. Sure. Good luck with... god school, or whatever.

[aoratos]

[ He snorts. ] I don't go to school anymore, young godling. But thanks. I wish you luck, too.
