Vacation - All I ever wanted

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

[Video / Or Underworld Action]

[ As the communicator hits the bed the video starts recording. Hades is going through his closet, pulling out all the black outfits he owns and shoving them unceremoniously into a suitcase. Once this task is done he turns to smile wickedly at Pain and Panic, who were standing in the doorway nervously watching. ]

Alright boys, all packed. That means for October the Underworld is under your care.

[ Dangerous tone. ]

Don’t screw it up.

Going somewhere special? With someone special?

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

Eh? What are you talking about? Some one special… only you mortals worry about pointless things like that.
I am just taking a well deserved vacation.

There's gotta be someone you find hot!

Vacation? Where? To the beach?

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

Yea… you, if you don’t drop it kid. Don’t think I can’t toast you just because you aren’t in the Underworld right now.

[Tossing a few wicked looking things into the suitcase. ]

Why would I want to go to the beach? All that sun and water… nah, I have something far more relaxing in mind. Its October and I am going to spend this vacation in Halloween Town. There isn’t a better vacation spot around!

The Underworld, huh. [My, my, what do we have here.]

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

It’s a little dead, but a nice place. You should visit sometime… dead of course. The living have no reason to be down here.

I'm not scared of you! So are you saying you've never liked anyone?

I'm sure it is. For people who like creepy and morbid things.

[Video]

[shiroi-petals.livejournal.com]

I have been dead before.

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

I know.

[Wicked smile. ]

I’m Hades, the Lord of the Underworld. You think I wouldn’t know something like that?

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

Look kid, have I asked you any questions about that Yuna girl?

[He has FAR more entertaining things on his mind. ]

Ah… creepy and morbid things…

[Fond sigh. Hades loves creepy and morbid things.]

That Jack knows how to throw the best Halloween parties.

[Dryly.] Do I bow or do I curtsy?

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

A vacation? [Have a skeptical Mercury; yes, Mercury.]

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

I generally prefer trembling in fear but hey, if you want to curtsy I won’t stop you.

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

That’s right!

[Shoving some more accoutrements into the bag that is starting to be difficult to close. ]

I think I could use one. Besides, this is the best time of the year to travel!

[Video]

[shiroi-petals.livejournal.com]

Mm, I'll pass. On all of it.

[She thinks a shrewd guess might be that he angered someone powerful enough to make him come to heel - perhaps Zeus, or even King Mickey.]

Where will you go?

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

[Handwave. Hades is in too good a mood to be annoyed right now.]

Lets see… am I forgetting anything…?

[Or maybe he stopped listening? ]

I’ve got the tunics, the shrunken heads, brimstone… ah! The toothbrush! Why do I always forget the toothbrush?

[And away from the communicator to collect that missing toothbrush. ]

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

Halloween Town, of course! What better place to take a vacation at this time of year?

[Such a smile he has. He… actually looks thrilled. ]

The ghosts, the pumpkins, ahhh I just love Halloween!

[Video]

[shiroi-petals.livejournal.com]

[Ignore him all you like, Hades. He has no problem mocking you.]

[A scoffing laugh.] As though a true lord of the Underworld would need such a thing.

[She shouldn't be surprised. If the scary, possible delinquent Kino Makoto can enjoy cute things, if the bookish and severe Mizuno Ami can be a normal girl who enjoys cats and arcade games, the god of Death can enjoy a vacation.]

You enjoy the holiday? I suppose it makes sense. It has origins in honoring the dead, doesn't it?

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

I’m sure you know all about Gods too.

[Mocking tone reciprocated as Hades makes sure to pack his toothbrush. ]

You wouldn’t think someone who has died as many times as you have would want to risk throwing their new life away so quickly.

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

[Well.. Given his record it is only proper to be cautious when he does something out of the usual. ]

Its my holiday, honoring the dead and those that take care of them. The time of the year where I actually get a little thanks for all the hard work I do the rest of the year!
And this year! Since the paths between worlds have become so open, why not spend in in the company of likeminded ghouls?

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

If that's your intention, I truly hope you enjoy it.

[Video]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

Oh, I will. That Jack, he really does know how to throw the best parties.

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

[She's never gone to many parties; must be nice.]

Jack.... You couldn't mean... Jack o'Lantern, or something of the sort? [Because really, even here, that would be...]
