That’s a wonderful question. I am Kaden Winchester. I am the child of Morpheus. I am the grandson of Phobos. Cross me, and I am your greatest nightmare.
But I'm feeling nice today. It's probably the influence of the beautiful Miss Hawke.
So let's do us both a favor and pretend I'm normal, just like you...
I will tear Olympus brick from brick, and destroy anyone who has ever allied themself with the cause.
And if that includes you? Count your minutes. And run.
But you can’t hide from fear, and you can’t hide from me…
Some people, I suppose:
@justice-blood-and-tea — My beautiful girlfriend. Anyone who lays a finger on her is dead to me. And will be dead to the government, too.
@apollos-favorite-child — She exists. And isn’t always an annoyance.
@morpheus-lord-of-dreams — My father. It’s complicated.
Appearance: Pale skin, medium-length black hair, short glasses. Tall and lanky. Surprisingly strong.
Age: 18, birthday 2/25
Gender: Male
Status: Taken by Kayne Hawke
Powers: control over dreams short of killing anyone, ability to control the levels of fatigue in nearby people and animals
Background: during the Titan war, he fought for the Titans. His younger sister died on the Princess Andromeda, and his mother was cursed by the gods and nearly died. She is currently at the Winchester home, suspended in a magical coma that keeps her barely alive. Morpheus has arranged for her continued care.

Hey, so remember that one time we accidentally consumed pancakes laced with truth serum...........
Yeah, I got duped again. My ego is hurt and also don't eat anything Connor Stoll offers you
- @justice-blood-and-tea (ooc: omg its BEEN A WHILEEEE. i js didnt know what to send in <//3 i miss the sillies ugh)
Darling. Love of my life. Dearest human to me.
Tell Connor he's got limited time on earth and I'm going to snap him in half if he so much as tries doing it again.
He hesitates, unsure of the right move.
...I'm desperately trying to avoid saying anything to you that's phrased as a question.
That's so cute of you.
I did(n't) mean that. I DID(N'T)
She groans, running a hand down her face.
I forgot how painful this was last time, ugh. Let's just try keeping the conversation on like, normal things. Hopefully.
Oh dear. Um. Perhaps you could initiate, as I have no idea what are ‘safe’ conversation topics. The raspberry harvest? Oh gods, that wasn’t a question, that wasn’t a question!
Why is that even a topic you think people talk for fun about...other than kids of plant/grain-related gods?
Uh, welllllll...I....
This is hard. Uhm, oh! We could talk about uhhhh, cartoons we like. Or liked, as a kid. That's fun. And hopefully won't betray my secrets.
Well, in my defense, quite a great portion of camp's budget comes from the various growing seasons. But I digress.
I quite honestly never really watched many cartoons. I'm sure you can fill in the blanks there. but if you'd like to regale me with tales of such animated features, I'm all ears.
Oh, right. Titan Army. That is so horrible. After this, we have to watch ALL the cartoons together, okay? I don't care if I have to ditch work for a while but we'll find you a favorite one.
Hmm, I think my favorite was Mr. Bean. Watching him mess around was good, and it was easy to watch with my brother when he was young because Bean doesn't speak much, so even Philip could just...watch. After that, once he grew up, I liked Scooby Doo. Which, upon retrospect makes a lot of sense now to me-
Oh, I just had a very stern conversation with him about not deluding myself with kids media and what not. Something about maturity and stuff. Really sucked the fun out of watching anything after a while. Then he took away all the DVDs I had and wouldn't let either of us watch anything other than informational and educational stuff?
Wow, I didn't even know I remembered that-
I mean, after a while I just stopped caring, you know? It was basically like I couldn't do anything. I was bound to break the rules at some point.
You know, I've never really gotten into it because I guessed you wouldn't wanna talk about it, but, how was your childhood? I mean, I'm guessing not so great, considering all the.. titan...army..stuff... But I've always wanted to hear more. It'd be like understanding what makes my kaden my kaden.
She pauses for a moment, eyes wide
..wait, sorry, i did(nt) mean to...i do(nt) really want to.. how about we just stop talking, actually?
I— my love, of course— it seems rather unfair that you should be magically compelled to answer all sorts of things while I’m not, and in any case… His voice softens. If you would like to know something, you may always ask me. The worst I can say is I’d prefer not to respond.
In any case. My very early childhood was rather pleasant, in fact. My mother and father had the appearance of marriage about them— he was always around. The trouble mostly began when my sister and I came to camp… tensions brewed.
Kayne tucked her knees under her chin, looking a little into the distance.
That's nice. I mean, not the last part, but..like, I'm glad it was at least a little normal before all of the...yeah. Were you happier then? And your sister? What was she like?
I think I was happier. I mean, I’m happier now. Not than ever. Just… you understand. I don’t think I can say I’ve ever been fully happy. I am content, but… well, what with the situation with my mother, you can understand that even now, I’m not fully… regardless.
My sister. She— she was kind. She tended to follow my lead. Later, on the ship, she made friends. I was able to somewhat shelter her, so I presume she was a breath of fresh air.
I… perhaps when this spell is over, I could ask you more about your family?
I agree. It’s very hard, though… we can’t save my mother, and I suppose I resent us both for that. Whenever I’m around him, it’s very blatant that half the family was missing.
When Kayne removes her arm, he looks surprised.
Of course not. I would’ve told you if so. Why do you ask?

IN TROUBLE
ATLAS DE-AGED?????? HES LIKE SIX NOW *disconnected screeching in the bg*
I HATE KIDS THIS IS NOT IDEAL
HELP
- @justice-blood-and-tea ( yes i came up with the most randomest idea for an interaction i dont have anymore angst sighs. however i totally wouldnt mind some kaden angst hahah/silly)
I'm here! I'm here! I got your voicemail. Er, it was very scream-filled. I have some idea of how to deal with children who are lsightly bonkers? I believe?
Kayne cursed under her breath, before tugging herself out of Atlas' grip and picking him up. The contrast between him and his younger self was jarring - near hair instead of messy, huge clothes instead of fitted, and more tears on his face then anyone would like to see.
"Don't go" He basically murmured into her jacket.
"I'm not. However I might jump off of the roof if I need to deal with you alone, so-"
Kaden stifled a laugh and tried to bend down a little to get on Atlas’ level. It was jarring, seeing him this young and emotional. “Hello, Atlas. I’m Kaden. Do you remember me?”
"I think he's just like that," Kayne smiled apologetically, moving out of the doorway to let Kaden in. "He's just about fought with everything. Inanimate objects included."
“That sounds about right.” Kaden slipped into the house and sidled up next to Kayne, giving her a peck on the cheek. “Now, Atlas, you ought to be good for Kayne.”

"I'm soooo bored!" Kayne declares, putting her head on Kaden's shoulders. "There is nothing to interest me anymore! I see the light at the end of the tunnel, Kade!" She dramatically sighs.
- @justice-blood-and-tea (its been a while! Hi!)
“Oh, do you?” Kaden muses, pulling her into a side hug. “I don’t recall boredom being a particularly common cause of death, Kayne.”
"This is going to be the first case." She protests, "It's going to be named after me. Hawke Syndrome - When a great mind has no great things to do. Cure - Maybe two thousand kisses from your significant other."
“Oh, well then,” Kaden says, lips curling into a grin. “Here’s your first.” He pecks her on the cheek and pulls her into a hug. “Side effects of the cure may include never letting you go.”
Kayne sighed dramatically, shaking her head, "Horrible side effects, but I'll learn to live with it. "
She stayed silent for a minute, then continued: "Okay, but I seriously have nothing to do after Atlas banned me from teaching the kids how to snoop properly and not get caught. Which - in retrospect, might not have been that great of an idea."
Kaden threw back his head and cackled. “Kayne! It’s all fun and games until they’re knee-deep in your files spilling Cheetos everywhere.” He kisses her forehead. “Dose 2?”
"Those are essential skills, I'll have you know!" Kayne protests, "It teaches them - control and coordination and, and uh.. other things...that are essential."
Kaden mock-groaned. “Indeed I have, unfortunately for me.” He tossed his head into his hands dramatically then parted his fingers to look through at Kayne. “You mean to imply that you’ve corrupted her?”
"If anything, it's the opposite," Kayne shakes her head and sighs. "The Apollo kids now hail me as their Number One Cola supplier because I bought Kayla a six pack once and then she just started showing up with more and more kids - I would've questioned it, but it was very slightly terrifying."
"Oh, yes, totally. Years of trauma and this is our greatest struggle," Kayne giggled, "The Titan war was nothing compared to watching Kayla burn my kitchen down."
"No, I'm completely content with getting chased by monsters everyday, actually," Kayne chuckles dryly, leaning against him.
She's quiet for a moment before answering, "I mean..I guess everyone has, at one point or the other. I think it's.. it just comes with the whole demigod gig, right?"
Kayne flashes him a genuine smile, one that makes her eyes light up. "As much as being old scares me, I'd love to have that. Just you and me, and...no monsters, no quests, not many responsibilities other than feeding ourselves and maybe paying taxes - I think that'd be really amazing."
“For the record, I think you’ll be absolutely marvelous when you’re old. And I can’t wait for us to make it there.” He squeezes her hand, as if wishing hard enough will bring a future into existence.
"I think you'd be awesome at shooing kids off our lawn or something," Kayne snorted, but her tone softens as she answers, "Yeah. I'd love to just be old and cranky with you. Though you'd mostly do all the being cranky yourself."
Kaden inhaled to object, but then realized that it wasn’t inaccurate. “You’ll be cranky with the normal people. I’ll be cranky with the gods. I’ll buy a baseball bat or something, and if they ask you to do a quest, I’ll show up with the bag and tell them to get off my lawn.”
"Pffft, yeah, that'll work. The gods' only weakness - being reprimanded."
"Honestly? I didn't even think that that kind of future was an option for a long time. I mean, it was kind of a surprise by itself I turned 18. It was like...only certain people get to have good futures and the rest of us just...struggle through short lives. Like in the myths. There'd be an occasional hero who got to live with his wife and kids, and the rest of them..."
She stopped for a moment, staring uncomfortably at the ground before clearing her throat. "But it's nice to know that you can make it this far. I thought I was going to die on the streets when I ran away. I definitely thought I was going to die during the war - but here I am! Alive and kicking. Mostly. It never occurred to me that being happy and safe and in love was an actual option."
Kaden tries to tamp down the wave of excitement he feels when he hears the words in love. His effort fails, of course, and he bursts into a stupidly large grin. “You’re in love with me?”
It comes out like a question. He’d felt it many times, they’d said it before, yes, but… in love. Something about that phrasing made him feel like he was a blushing man on a first date, thanking his lucky stars for the beautiful woman in front of him.
"No, then," Kayne rolls her eyes while stamping down giggles, "I was talking about the six other boyfriends and girlfriends I somehow now have."
Then she scrunches her nose and bursts out into actual laughter, because somehow the idea of dating someone, anyone else that wasn't him was so absurd to her. Terrifying. After a minute, she straightened, ending with a happy sigh, before leaning over to kiss his forehead. "But yes. For all intents and purposes, I am in love with you. Absolutely head over heels."
“I happen to be hopelessly in love with you, and head over heels as well! What a coincidence. We ought to make out or something.” Kaden grins, quite proud of himself for making a pop culture reference.
“Hah! I suppose so.” He grins. “Now that you’ve persuaded me to move away from taking down the gods, perhaps there’s a different powerful family to dethrone?”
"I'm soooo bored!" Kayne declares, putting her head on Kaden's shoulders. "There is nothing to interest me anymore! I see the light at the end of the tunnel, Kade!" She dramatically sighs.
- @justice-blood-and-tea (its been a while! Hi!)
“Oh, do you?” Kaden muses, pulling her into a side hug. “I don’t recall boredom being a particularly common cause of death, Kayne.”
"This is going to be the first case." She protests, "It's going to be named after me. Hawke Syndrome - When a great mind has no great things to do. Cure - Maybe two thousand kisses from your significant other."
“Oh, well then,” Kaden says, lips curling into a grin. “Here’s your first.” He pecks her on the cheek and pulls her into a hug. “Side effects of the cure may include never letting you go.”
Kayne sighed dramatically, shaking her head, "Horrible side effects, but I'll learn to live with it. "
She stayed silent for a minute, then continued: "Okay, but I seriously have nothing to do after Atlas banned me from teaching the kids how to snoop properly and not get caught. Which - in retrospect, might not have been that great of an idea."
Kaden threw back his head and cackled. “Kayne! It’s all fun and games until they’re knee-deep in your files spilling Cheetos everywhere.” He kisses her forehead. “Dose 2?”
"Those are essential skills, I'll have you know!" Kayne protests, "It teaches them - control and coordination and, and uh.. other things...that are essential."
Kaden mock-groaned. “Indeed I have, unfortunately for me.” He tossed his head into his hands dramatically then parted his fingers to look through at Kayne. “You mean to imply that you’ve corrupted her?”
"If anything, it's the opposite," Kayne shakes her head and sighs. "The Apollo kids now hail me as their Number One Cola supplier because I bought Kayla a six pack once and then she just started showing up with more and more kids - I would've questioned it, but it was very slightly terrifying."
"Oh, yes, totally. Years of trauma and this is our greatest struggle," Kayne giggled, "The Titan war was nothing compared to watching Kayla burn my kitchen down."
"No, I'm completely content with getting chased by monsters everyday, actually," Kayne chuckles dryly, leaning against him.
She's quiet for a moment before answering, "I mean..I guess everyone has, at one point or the other. I think it's.. it just comes with the whole demigod gig, right?"
Kayne flashes him a genuine smile, one that makes her eyes light up. "As much as being old scares me, I'd love to have that. Just you and me, and...no monsters, no quests, not many responsibilities other than feeding ourselves and maybe paying taxes - I think that'd be really amazing."
“For the record, I think you’ll be absolutely marvelous when you’re old. And I can’t wait for us to make it there.” He squeezes her hand, as if wishing hard enough will bring a future into existence.
