to the world we dream about,

she reacts how everyone else does. he still remembers clear as day the first time this power manifest — he was mad. mad at everything, everyone, and especially mad at his adoptive father, a man that went by the alias hermes. he knew nothing else about him. he was playing his guitar when hermes started talking to him, and he told hermes to go away. purple tendrils came from his instrument, and ushered hermes away. the rest was history. he tried not to use the ability, if he didn't have to. he hated how people looked at him after. “ that won't be an issue. ” he rests his guitar against his back again, avoiding eye contact with her as he turns around. “ i don't use it very much. quite frankly, i wish i didn't have it at all. music is the one thing i have that's mine — ” his clothes are dirty, he's never been very affluent. sitting in a building owned by batman was perhaps one of the strangest experiences of his whole life. he'd never seen this kind of tech before. “ and it's ruined now. ” his voice is very frank, almost uncharacteristic of him. she wouldn't know that, though. she doesn't know him. “ i want it gone. i wish i didn't have it, but since i do... ” he shrugs, finally looking at her. “ well, i don't know what i'm going to do with it. hide it, probably. ” orpheus moves across the room, wrapping his arms around his body. “ why did you bring me here, anyways? especially not knowing what i can do. batman doesn't need another robin, does he? ”

his excitement is infectious. she's still swallowing down her own adrenaline, but she can't quite shake it off when he's beaming at her like that. mina laughs again, cheek squishing into her palm as she leans further against the armrest. ❛ get used to it. usually takes me, like, at least an hour to wind down after a show. sometimes more. ❜ on a normal night, that is. some days are worse than others ( some days she can hardly finish the show at all ), but ... well, that's not the point right now. she watches him fondly, reaching over the couch to playfully shove his head, ruffling his hair in the process. ❛ duh, of course i think so! like you said, they sang along, and that means they liked it! more than liked it! ❜ mina says, still - outstretched hand moving to poke his cheek between his fingers, ❛ so you better believe it. 'cause it's definitely just the beginning. i can tell. ❜

he lets out a quiet laugh as she touches his head, and he quickly gulps down the rest of his glass of water before leaning back against the armrest. “ i can't believe people know my stuff. ” orpheus muses, beaming as he feels her finger prod his cheek. it's definitely just the beginning. i can tell. he pulls his knees to his chest and leans forward as far as he can without falling over, his smile taking over his entire face. “ i want to remember this forever. ” he says, moving to kneel instead of sit. “ like, seriously. what a rush! ” orpheus pauses, pursing his lips slightly, as if he were in thought. “ i don't know how i'm supposed to come down from this. what do you do? ”

aerith was always nice to him. he liked that she was always nice to him. the rest of the people they grew up with weren't. they seemed all too happy to point out what was different about him compared to them, therefore orpheus was all too happy to be alone. “ where are you going today? ” he asks, peeking up to look at her from the floor, standing up as he takes care to make sure his guitar doesn't hit the ground. probably something to do with flowers. perhaps she was going to that church she always went to. he liked flowers, spent some time singing to them and watching all sorts of colorful blooms turning towards him and even growing. “ i like your hair today. ” he notes, his hands grasping the guitar strap around his body. “ did you do it yourself? ”

Hades gives Orpheus a trial he knows he himself could never succeed at, but it isn’t just that Hades knows he would turn around. Hades has been failing this trial every single year. He shows up too early. He turns too soon. He is so full of doubt that even the natural order of the world, that Persephone will return to him, is not something he can trust. Hades would fail the trial he has given Orpheus, and he already has. All alone, his blood runs thin.
