"Don't you miss me?"

*Alex had spent the last month digging up everything he could on that couple. So far nothing concrete but... still plenty of evidence to support the truth. They had been in the area during the time he must have been left/spawned. And had been together since then. They also seemed to be a family of power hungry scoundrels... although no one had been emperor like he was. He had ended up deciding to invite them back against Osiris better judgement. He nervously walked up to you*

I uh... can we talk?....

Doran

This is just a test round.... does not mean i am welcoming you into my life.... i still am not completely sure that we even are related yet.... but even if we are... just know my father has been here my whole life... and he will always come first.

*they both give Odysseus more sly looks*

We would never wish to hurt our dear boy!

Sounds wonderful dear!

So Odysseus. You must be getting much older. We thank you for all youve done for our son but i am sure you are quite tired hmm?

Excuse me? *Alex made a face*

“Is it just me, or is seeing an identical you as a siren a little awkward?-”

*I nod, watching the siren, and whisper back.*

“No, it is odd, I agree-”

-Polites and Odysseus (sorry just getting this blog out there lol) ( @your-luck-ran-out )

"You do know I can hear you, yes?" The siren mentioned calls out from the sea, deciding to approach the two with careful movements.

His gaze lingers on Polites for a moment, almost scrutinizing, before he comes to a conclusion unspoken.

also feel free to use this as a way to introduce Tir to Ody’s family :3

also also respond whenever you’re ready =p

[ when the prophet faced the kingdom of Ithaca again, it was impossible to see all that changed. They knew well that much had, but not enough to know exactly what. What they do know, however, is that walking into a kingdom as they appear would startle even the most stoic of guards. The sight of a dead man is a truly terrifying thing ]

[ thankfully, nymphs were raised on tricks, and they were taught at a young age how to get the best outcome possible for them. So, with a slight shift in their cloak’s stitching and color, as well as a flower bondage switched out for their usual blindfold, they wandered into ancient grounds ]

[ eventually, under the guise of a traveling oracle—technically not a lie—they got permission to enter the castle. As eager as they were, though, they were hesitant. A kingdom much unlike their own. Unfamiliar, and though they knew someone to trust, how could they ever feel so sure. With one hand reaching for their staff to travel back to their forsaken isle, and the other reaching towards the soft ground to sit, it would be safe to say that they were greatly torn between decisions ]

ooc: aaa - it is not a myth thing or ever mentioned (as far as I'm aware-) just a silly headcannon I made since Siren!Odysseus is based on an amphibian and a majority of species hibernate! (brumate, to be more specific) :D

Fun fact: it's actually the reason behind why his design lacks scales commonly associated with the fish half of merfolk

also also - just a heads up that Penelope and Telemachus have not been written by me nearly enough to have a grasp on their personalities as of yet ^^' that does not mean, however, I'm not gonna try!

Even to the most imperceptive of people, the palace itself was rather quiet; a mix of peace and unease brought about by a paranoid king after his return and the reassurances of his wife. The few guards that were around remained stationed at archways and doors, one of whom couldn't help yawning as the supposed traveling oracle passed by their position.

A light snow continued to fall from outside the windows, bathing the halls in a familiar cold glow from the winter sky. The sun, in all its best efforts, managed to provide brief moments of warmth when its gaze managed to peer past the clouds.

It was only when Tiresias reached for their staff that the prince of Ithaca had spotted them. For a moment, he wondered about leaving them to their thoughts before deciding against the action and instead approaching with near-silent steps; a result that came with the teachings of his mentor.

[ however, as the man spoke, the prophet lowered their staff, and their posture relaxed once more ]

Shrugging off the minor guilt, he thinks of who was currently residing in the palace, let alone what of those slim names would know an oracle. In the end, he settles for a simple answer.

“I see. Hm. I won’t need much to be situated.”

"Are you more comfortable following my steps, or would you prefer a hand?"

“I’ll follow your lead. Your kingdom’s ground isn’t as uneven as I remember it to be.”

“Well, it’s been many more on my part. Having died so many years ago. I must apologize, though, for the slight intrusion and for not visiting sooner. Many prophecies and many who would not listen. Though, I imagine you gave experience with those sorts of characters.”

"Telemachus."

"Apologies." He paused, though a look from his mother motivated him to continue. "Ah, right. I'll leave you to talk." And with that, he left the room.

"Sorry about him. Just like his father when he was young." She smiles fondly before standing and gently taking Tiresias' hand in hers, leading them to a nearby cozy chair. "Please, come sit. I do not mind in the slightest."

*They're smiling. But their tone is awkward and not loud and booming. They either killed someone, blew up and orphanage, or did something stupid.*

Don't be mad. Okay. Cause like... it was an accident. And I have a wife. She likes the hell spawn and said it was cute. Pray for me before she gets a collection. Anyways. So... I.. ACCIDENTALLY found a.. nest of them and uh, found out the tiny ones are basically invisible!!!!...

...

"I would say no. Should, really - but believe it or not, I still believe in good hospitality." He moved his hand to gently ruffle Icey's hair. "Yes, you may stay. Though if any of those things end up in my room, I'm sending you to Tiresias myself."

He then pulled his hand back to adjust his cape. "This does give me a chance to ask you about something on my mind, however. There was something - a god, I suppose - that said you spoke of me. Goes by the name Glitch." He paused.

*they shrug*

*They summon a dagger below them... barely missing their skin but lifting them up by the hood of their shirt, and then giving them time to grab onto it and just stare down at him*

Heheh-! Yep! Speaaaaking of! I have officially gotten through a day of overthinking and DIDN'T stab through any walls or myself! So HAH. I'm learning how to control my curse! No man or god can stop mEEEE-

*They fell- it's all gooood, they're okay. They know how to land without dying and causing minimal damage.*

*They summon a dagger, sitting on it, criss cross style*

*They smile, hugging him tightly. Then remembering that grandpa over here is old and frail and breaking a kings back would not be something they'd wanna do when roman candles were still being used as a way of execution*

It's always a worry in the back of my mind.. My wife, on the other hand, seems thrilled. I think she just wants a kid

*They look at him and sigh, just flopping their head onto his shoulder*

[[ - heheh finally the baby interacts ]]

The siren had been in an unshifted form when the small one approached him. For a moment, he simply observed them, curious and a bit familial. He took a second to glance around, both at the sea and land for any other figures. When none met his attention, he turned back to the little one.

*They're smiling. But their tone is awkward and not loud and booming. They either killed someone, blew up and orphanage, or did something stupid.*

Zeno was.. well- somewhere. He was just sitting in the grass and grumbling to himself as he scribbled on a worn out paper. Seems the little guy- he was trying to draw? The little guy would be lying if he said the concept of a ‘family’ didn’t confuse him. Yes, he’s referred to Achaeus and Lune as his siblings, but he never quite.. understood what family meant. It was only a vague concept in his mind.

He was trying to draw- little guy didn’t know what he was doing, but he heard it’s normal for kids or something, he didn’t like the word ‘normal’ regardless. Everything in his life was odd at this point, he barely understood this world anymore… maybe it’s not so bad. Maybe this “family” helped? He just made a little hum to himself, not noticing the other presence nearby. He was too busy trying to figure out how to shove more figures onto the paper, he was trying to figure out where to draw Alex’s parents.
