#janus mcd

Been getting back into the project. Have a colored sketch of the High Priest and some of the Jury.

We have...

HOW ABOUT BOTH.

Zane kissing Janus's sword to bless it before a battle, and Janus having a physical reaction to it like Zane had kissed him instead.

Janus's armour being absolutely covered in the O'khasis symbol and the Ro'meave family crest. Even if you don't know him, you know exactly whose service he belongs to. (Also, you know that if Zane has a personal crest, then that thing is front and centre across Janus's breastplate, right over his heart. He is Zane's man. No one else's.) Zane pinning Janus to walls while he gives him a lecture. If it were anyone else Janus would have punched them in the face, but in Zane's hold he remains so pliant and apologetic it's like he's a different person.

Janus being in the front row every time Zane gives a sermon. He doesn't care much for religion and otherwise only really attends when he absolutely has to (in fact, he will even privately mock the gods, Zane and his will is the only thing he really respects), but something about Zane's presence just summons him. Also Zane looks good in a priest outfit...

Zane usually never falling asleep around other people for fear of being killed while he's vulnerable, but trusting Janus enough to fall asleep first around him. And sleeping curled up in his arms when he can.

———————————

Zane: Time for plan G. Jeffory: Don’t you mean plan B? Zane: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties. Ivan: What about plan D? Zane: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago. Janus: What about plan E? Zane: I’m hoping not to use it. Katelyn dies in plan E. Ivy: I like plan E. Katelyn: >:/

——— Zane: Posts a super low-quality image to the group chat Janus: If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I’d have 15 cents Zane: If I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after I read this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you! :] Lillian: Actually I did the math, Janus would have $225, not $0.15. Janus: Fam I’m right here…. Katelyn: If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda. Jeffory: while you’re there could you buy me an apply juice please? Katelyn: Sorry I only have a dollar. Jeffory: :[ Iavn: Hey I just realized Lillian is right, Janus would have $22,500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent. Katelyn: If I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice. Ivy: You can buy anything you want with $22,500? Ivan: Yeah and they want soda and apply juice. Ivy: Apply juice to what??? Katelyn: Directly to the forehead Zane: Great chat everyone.

Jeffory: I've got a weapon, and I'm… admittedly VERY afraid to use it!

——— Ivan: eh, I don’t go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me first.

———

Jeffory, skipping rocks on a lake with Katelyn: It’s such a beautiful evening. Katelyn: Yeah, it is. Katelyn: whispering Take that you fucking lake.

———

Ivy: Okay, can we all stop saying stupid shit for a moment, please?! Zane: Alright. Ivan: Hey, I- Ivy: SHUT UP! Ivan: I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED MY SENTENCE!! Zane: It was bound to be stupid.

———

While planning to break in somewhere Janus: Hey, let's do "Get Help!" Zane: What? Janus: "Get Help." Zane: No. Janus: C'mon, you love it! Zane: I hate it. Janus: It's great! It works every time! Zane: It's humiliating. Janus: Do you have a better plan? Zane: No. Janus: We're doing it! Zane: We are not doing "Get Help!" A Minute Later Janus, carrying Zane: Get help! Please! He’s dying! Help him! throws Zane at guards, knocking them out Janus: Ahh, classic! Zane: gets up I still hate it. It's humiliating. Janus, laughing: Not for me, it's not.

———

Jeffory; Isn’t it a bit dangerous? Ivy: Jeffory, please. We’ve in a lot of unexpected predicaments before and we always escape unhurt. Jeffory: … Ivy: Okay, we sometimes escape unhurt. Jeffory: … Ivy: Alright, we escaped unhurt once… Then we hurt ourselves on the way home.

——— Katelyn: I wouldn’t wish that upon my worse enemy! Katelyn: Unless of course. . We’re talking about my enemy, Ivy. Fuck you Ivy, you know what you did!

———

Zenix: Hey, check out my Spongebob umbrella! Zenix opens his umbrella while indoors Sasha: Zenix, that’s bad luck… Jeffory: Chill out, dude!- Ghost Janus, kicking down the door: WHO SUMMONED ME?!?! Zenix, Sasha, and Gene: SCREAMS

———

Lillian: What's with the new hat? Ivy: Oh, this? It's nothing. Janus: It's the loudest nothing I ever saw. Katelyn: Ivy, you just can't mosey in here with a brand-new hat and act like you're not wearing a brand-new hat. Ivy: Look, I'm trying something new, okay? Just take it easy. Ivan: She’s right, guys. Come on, let's not go down this path. It's ugly… Kinda like that hat– Ivy: I got this from a nice store! Ivan: What store? The one before you exit the Al Capone Museum? Zane, entering the room: Good Evening— Ivy? Did you just finish Bling Ring-ing Bruno Mars' closet? Ivy: I'm being brave, okay? You guys are sheep. You may want to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Katelyn: Better us than you. You look like a park ranger from a cartoon. Ivy: Jeffory, do you think the hat looks bad? Jeffory: Oh, uh, me? Um, I… I wouldn't say it was bad. Like, I think it's just different, like something you would wear in Indiana… Jones and the Temple of Bad Hats.

Janus: Dude, we can get mythical animals! Maybe I’ll get a penguin! Lillian: Penguins are real. Janus: That’s the spirit, Lillian! They’re real to me too!

——— Ivy: I feel awful about killing you. Katelyn: … Ivy: Even though technically you never even died, so I don’t know what you’re bitching about.

——— Jeffory: You know you can die from that, right? <:[ Ivan: smoking a cigarette. That’s the point. Katelyn: drinking alcohol. We’re trying to speed this up. Lillian: Eating raw cookie dough and nodding.

———

Zane: So uh, for this party and everything, do you, uh… Lillian, sighing: You don't know how to dress for this, do you? Zane, panicked: WHAT IS CLOTHES??? Ó_Ò

———

Katelyn: Respect my trans homies or I’m gonna identify as a fucking problem. Janus: :] Ivan: >:D Lillaim: ….Slowly gives a thumbs up.

———

Ivan; Lucinda has no idea I’m high. Lucinda: ..You’re high? Ivan: Oh, I’m sorry. Ivan, leaning over to Lillian: Lucinda has no idea I’m high.

———

Zane: What’s your greatest weakness? Lillian: Interpreting the semantics of a question, but ignoring the pragmatics. Zane: Could you give an example? Lillian: Yes, I could.

———

In the Early Days of The Jury of Nine Katelyn: Fight me! Ivy: gets on one knee and pulls out a ring Ivy: Fight me for the rest of our lives? Katelyn: 0///0 Jeffory: …Well this can’t be healthy. Ivan: Oh absolutely not this can only go down in flames.

———

Ivy: Tell them to eat shit, Lillian. Lillian: Tell them yourself. Ivy: Eat shit, asshole. Fall off your horse.

———

Ivan, handing a balloon to Lillian: I have no soul. Have a good day! Lillian, walking off: I don't have one either.

———

Lillian: What's wrong with you? Ivan: Off the top of my head, I'd say low self-esteem, a lack of paternal affection, and a genetic predisposition for anxiety and depression.

———

Zane: My favorite thing about big dogs is that when you push them over, they're all like "Oh, I'm lying down now! Someone might scratch my stomach! I might nap! Endless possibilities!" Zane: …whereas, when you push little dogs over, they're all like, "Vengeance! Death before dishonor!" Lillian: Is this just your way of describing Janus, the tallest in our friend group, and Ivan, the shortest in our friend group? Zane: Yes.

———

Ivy: Aww, what's your dog's name? Aph: Celestia! ^^ Ivy, yelling to Lillian: TRY CELESTIA! Lillian, on the computer: DIDN'T WORK! Ivy: … Ivy: What's your favorite number?

———

Jeffory; Uhh.. Zane just asked if we want to… Jeffory: ”Fell the mighty before their time and display their carcasses in our homes?” Lillian, not even looking up from her phone: He’s asking if you wanna cut down Christmas Trees. Jeffory: Oh, that makes more sense.

———

Jeffory; I have a problem. Katelyn: Kill it. Ivy: Kill it. Janus: Kill it. Ivan: Kill it. Zane: Kill it. Lillian: Kill it. Jeffory: …Can you all chill for like, two seconds?

———

Zane: Where's Janus? Ivy: Don't worry, I'll find them. Ivy, shouting: Zane sucks! Janus, distantly: Zane is the best man to ever live! Fuck you!! Ivy: Found them.

———

Zane: The ritual. To preform it requires a sacrifice… Lillian: Sacrifice? I nominate Ivan. Ivan: Wait, what?! Janus: Because you're little, you'll fit on a pentagram. Ivan: I'm 5'9, that’s like the average height in Ru’an! Zane: Its not that kind of sacrifice guys!!!

———

Ivy: Janus learned how to fold origami penguins from Lillian the other day. I told them, “I feel a little bad for the penguins, it’s hot here”, and the next day he put the penguins in the fridge.

Welcome to yet another shit post about this au I made up like 2 days ago.

So, I decided to have Zane be Zeus with the other Jury members as the gods in God Games. (Katelyn is already Athena)

I wanted to mostly assign them based on the argument made in God Games (aka would this be mostly in character for them?) Except for the fact that I don't remember too much about them... So process of elimination via poll it is!
