dionysus, semele

WHO: Semele and Dionysus
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: A strip club
WHAT: Fancy seeing you here, little one.
WHAT: mentions of drugs

Strip clubs were Semele's sort of place. There was something about those gyrating women that reminded her of the maenads of old, enticing and dangerous and sometimes so drugged out of their skulls that they didn't even know what was going on. Sometimes she found a dark corner with them, where it could be all lips and hands and slipped packages of powder.

But tonight when she entered the club it wasn't one of the girls she went towards, but the dark haired man leaning over his drink. With a smile she walked over, grabbing a whiskey glass from a passing tray and sitting down across from him. "Hello, sexy."

Dionysus was still being a boastful and dramatic child over the fact that his wife was hanging around her ex. Olympians did not do well with jealousy or sharing when it didn't serve them. Dionysus may have been a demi-god until stepping up to the god plate, but he had gradually lost some of what made him human after Hera destroyed that side of him.

He sat with that drink feeling the same frenzy as his new guest. "Do I know you, doll?"

Her boy didn't recognise her, but she supposed that was fair. Dressed in leathers and thick makeup, she'd changed a fair amount. He had too, but he was her son and an Olympian. He was hard to miss.

"Oh," she said with a grin, putting her glass down on the table and picking up his instead. "We're well acquainted." She took a drink. Her eyes were dilated and her veins swum with cocaine.

Dionysus had never physically met his mother. She was a name, a presence but nothing more than that. She was someone that he could have known and probably would have adored. He didn't realize that the dreamy looking brunette was exactly the woman who gave birth to him.

"Are we sweetheart? I don't recall..." His Maenads were few and far between these days, perhaps he'd missed in the middle of his rage at Theseus tirade with Ariadne the other night.

	Semele was trying to decide how to play this. To admit who she was already, or to flirt with her son for the entertainment value? Entertainment, as always with Semele, won out quite quickly. So she fluttered her eyelashes and leaned in to whisper, "you've been inside me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ooo," he purred, puckering his lips around the straw in his glass of gin, lipstick leaving a nice red mark. He licked the edge of his teeth. "How could I forget a moment such as that?" How very, very naughty of him. "Should I remedy my bad manners?" He lowered his own thick lashes with a shy smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Semele smirked at him, leaning across the table. "Prpbably shouldn't," she said. "They'll start calling you Oedipus." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It took him a moment to put two and two together as he was swimming with wine and endorphins . "Mother?" He'd not ever even seen her face, though some stories say he retrieved her from the Underworld. There was little he could hold on to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He may not have remembered her, but Semele certainly remembered him. Perhaps it was because she had less mythology to hold onto than him. But she remembered being plucked from Hades by him, remembered being brought to Olympus and being made the goddess of frenzy, remembered standing strong by his side as she mocked Hera's failures to destroy her, remembered dancing in groves and leading his wild maenads.

She made a face as his words, "'Mother' makes me sound so... matronly. Let's not go with mother."

	His shy smile was genuine this time, a little boy who had some embarrassment at the fact he hadn't remembered her. "What should I call you then?" In fairness he had been raised by another woman and reborn from Zeus. Dionysus was unique, and at least she could take pride in that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thyone, Semele, whatever, just not mom." She tilted her head to watch him with curiosity. "You really don't remember me, do you? Dragging me up from Hades? Living together on Olympus? Giving up a part of your immortality to share it with me?" It was bizarre, but then their whole lives were pretty bizarre by the standards of mortals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dionysus waved his hand in front of his face. "Things are a little blurry." In his defense he hadn't spent a lot of time in this new world with her or any of their fellow Greek brethren. It was up until a few years ago that he'd even found his wife again. "Olympus is such a distant memory," even though as gods they tended to forget they didn't rule like they used to.

	"You always were a little blurry," Semele said, moving now to sit down next to him in the booth, squishing him over further with her hip and then making herself comfortable pressed right up beside him. Semele had no concept of personal space. "Coke?" Semele asked, pulling a little baggy out of her bra and waving it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Through no fault of my own, doll. It comes with the territory." He was a son of Zeus, that in itself was questionable. His space was invaded quite quickly, it was then he could tell he and his mother shared very similar traits beyond their looks. He grinned pleased with the invitation. "If you insist."

Humming a speedy tune that belonged to no song at all, Semele poured some of the cocaine on the dirty table in front of them, her credit card moving with the practised ease of one who had spent a very long time cutting lines in the past. "They know me here," Semele was saying quickly as she neatened the lines. "They don't make a fuss over a little powder, and I give some of them cheap prices when I'm dealing. Lots of coke in this place, good place."

She pulled her dark hair over one shoulder to keep it out of the way and leaned down to snort a line of the cocaine, leaning her head back and sniffing a few times afterwards and then rubbing at her nose with the back of her hand. "It's really pure. I get it from the god who creates the stuff, so it's always the best."

Dionysus dripped with the attention she brought. He knew with Semele he wasn't going to get the loving protective, nurturing mother. He was going to get someone that enabled him as much as he enabled others. He followed her lead and leaned down snorting the line of powder. It made his head swim with neon colors and stars. Oh, this was good stuff.

He wiped his nose with the back of his hand as it still burned his nostrils. "That is perfection." Like a fine wine.

Semele's face and fingertips tingled delightfully and she took a long, deep breath. "Have you picked a girl yet?" she asked her son, looking at the woman dancing around a nearby pole. She didn't give him a chance to answer however, before she was calling out to the girl. "Hey, redhead! Redhead, come 'ere!" She was pulling notes out of her bra and offering them to the girl. "Give him a dance. Move seats so she can give you a dance, kid."

He hadn't even been looking at the girls because between he and Semele they had sucked the energy right out of the room. Dionysus used his foot, pushing the chairs back with his heeled boots. The girl paused a moment a tad confused by him, but stuffed the money given in the sash of her bejeweled underwear. He licked his upper lip, for a moment letting the show be a tease to forget and drown in his losses. "You're beautiful, doll," he said to the girl who paused in her hip rotations with her hands on his shoulders to look into his wine colored eyes. "I could almost believe that," she said against her breath, turning her head as she continued. Something about him made her feel as if she was high.

	Semele made herself comfortable, putting her heavy boots up on the table as she watched the dance. Her drink was already starting to get low but she had plenty of night to drink. For now she was mostly interested in watching Dionysus, her son and lord. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The girl switched from the front position to snake her body against his crotch where her ass was in full view. There was little Dionysus had to do to turn her or anyone on in that room. His eyes looked gentle and somewhat dangerous. Usually the girl did this as a job, nothing more. It became almost routine not enjoyable except to the people she danced for.But with this one, she found herself looking over her shoulder to see what he thought, to see if she was the only one who was feeling this way.

Dionysus turned to Semele nodding at the girl to see if she was interested in her too. He could share.
