[ morning ]
[Why couldn’t they give him letter writing? Or cleaning the toilets? It was something public last time too. He gets that it’s a punishment, but being up in front of people, presenting, it was humiliating. At least this wasn’t an all-day thing, or broadcast to the entire dome, like last time.]
So apparently my punishment this time is to give some kind of “respectable” lecture. I’ll try to have something thrown together this afternoon. You don’t have to come. [Please don’t come.] But it’ll be at the Education Center.
[He spends the morning cleaning up his store and working on his lecture.]
[ afternoon – lecture ]
[So, he really has so very little prepared. He has no idea what he’s doing. Even if he came with tons of notes and worksheets and materials, he would be lost, because this is just not something he can do. At least he has a topic. It’s dumb. The more he thinks about it, the more dumb it seems, and he should just not do it, but then he’ll catch hell for not doing it, and that’s even worse.
He winds up writing and drawing on the board.]
[This is going to be the dumbest lecture ever.]
Hades is the God of the Underworld. He is also known as the Lord of Death, and the God of Wealth. He rules over the Underworld, from Elysium to the Fields of Punishment. He oversees judgment, for the just and guilty.
He is one of the six children of the Titans Kronos and Rhea. He and his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, are the three most powerful gods. He is married to Persephone, who will turn you into flowers if you annoy her. [He scribbles her stick figure out. She sucks.] He possesses a powerful Helm of Darkness and a Sword of Hades that can raise the dead from the depths of Tartarus itself. After World War II the three gods made an Oath to never have any more children. Hades was the only one to keep that oath. Up until recently he was barred from Olympus.
Thanatos is the God of Peaceful Death. He is the son of Nyx, the Goddess of Night, and Erebos, the primordial God of Darkness, and the twin of Hypnos, the God of Sleep. He is loyal to Hades, and has control over the Doors of Death. For a time, he was captured, and the dead were able to come back from the Underworld without him there to prevent their escape. He is frequently mistaken for Cupid. Love and Death are similar, but sometimes Death is kinder.
Keres aren’t gods. They’re spirits that feed on violent death. Disease, bloodshed, famine. They are also daughters of Nyx. They’re pretty awful. They’re like, part human, part bat, and poison. Death gives them power. They are the antithesis of Thanatos.
[That’s it. That’s all he has.]
Um...if you have any question you can ask them now...
