I honestly cannot find the meme. / oh well lmao 

@scvtaest​​ asked: “ you knew the game and played it. ” - from bianca di angelo if that's okay!

     You knew the game and played it. "...” A client? No. Adam held to his blank expression as he studied the woman in the solarium. ( A small tower, a lofty lair fit for a “magician”. ) “I must’ve played it well.” Adam adds with a quick shrug of his shoulders. “But yes, I knew the game. I know how it goes. I think you got a problem with that.” It’s not a question; it’s an accusation. Adam rarely uses his psychic abilities to do tarot readings. Adam relied on his skill of viewing people, of seeing them, studying them. ( every little bit until he’s certain of the person and satisfied of what he’ll say next. ) 

@scvtaest​ / @morsquies​ asked "When’s the last time anyone prayed to you?” - from bianca if that's okay! "

DARK EYES LIFT from what they had been so focused on, the papers spread out across the table, to see the girl standing across from her. As always, there is some unreadable fire in Bianca's eyes, something that Persephone is near certain has been there since the moment the girl was born -- couldn't say for certain, of course. Just knew she'd always been able to see it, could see it in both of her husband's children.

The question is mulled over in silence before she gives a slow lift of one shoulder, "Suppose that depends on your thinking... In the traditional sense, I suppose it's been some time. Thesmophoria and my mother's followers being lost to history."

And yet, for a goddess speaking of the loss of her worship, she smiles. "But humans still pray to and praise the gods, even when they don't think they do. Celebrating the changing of the seasons, the rising of the sun... and every time that someone takes comfort in the springtime, praises the new blooms and return of the warm weather... I take that for myself." And then, with a softer voice, "Why do you ask, Bianca?"

It seemed to be a somewhat frequent occurrence that he was at a loss for what to say to his children.  He wanted to tell them that he would give them the world, but he knew that it wasn't his to give.  Hades didn't want to disappoint them, but he was their father; it was practically inevitable that he would disappoint them in one way or another.

There was so much that he wanted to tell Bianca, especially now, and he'd tried, gods, he'd TRIED to tell her how much she meant to him, that he'd do whatever he could to protect her, even if she didn't want or NEED his protection.

But then she told him that she wasn't ignoring him; she just didn't know what to say to him, and he offered her something of a half smile.  

"Can't say I blame you," he murmured.  "It wasn't exactly your fault that I wasn't around for you when I SHOULD have been."  It's a sore spot for all of them, he's sure; he WANTED to be there, wanted to take care of them, but for their own safety, he'd had to hide them in the Lotus Hotel and Casino, to keep them away from those that would harm them.

@scvtaest​ said : " i’d burn it all, i’d set the world on fire just to be with him again." from bianca to orpheus about cecil because she just found orpheus and the lyre and she officially finished the quest!! angst time

It’s an interesting pitch, he’ll grant her that. Centuries of dwelling here, and the world feels ageless. He’s tired. He’s lonely. He hasn’t seen Eurydice in so long, he’s starting to forget what she looks like. Everything’s a comparison-- she had a laugh like bells, she had a smile brighter than the sun, she could dance like a naiad. Words that he might’ve been able to make poetic now just make him sad. 

And then this girl shows up. Exhausted, looking miserable, and determined to bring him and his lyre back where he’d been cursed to never go again. To be apart from his Eurydice until the end of time. He doesn’t even need to consider his answer-- this girl wants to bring the one she loves the most back? “How can I help?”

Bianca’s expression turned into a grimace with the terrifying sound Reyna breathed out, she wasn’t that much good of a doctor or a medic for that matter, but even she could see coughing up blood wasn’t really an indication of a succesful battle.

She nodded with determination with Reyna’s words, they had to get out of there. Bianca wished she didn’t waste that much of a power, at least she could take them to a hospital or somewhere safe in general, but now they couldn’t move an inch because they were stuck in a room, covered in monster dust with more Empousai right outside the door trying to claw their way in. Bianca had no idea how they managed to find themselves in this situation, this definitely wasn’t what she had in mind when she paid a visit to New Rome in a nice sunday morning, and now they were somewhere in Nairobi, trapped in a building full of monsters.

“ This room doesn’t have any exits,” Bianca breathed out, studying the room quickly. Shadows she summoned were sealing the door shut, but each hit was making it harder for her to keep it shut. So she tried to be as quick as she could, trying to find a way out for them. “ I don’t have any power left to shadowtravel, and there are at least…” She fell quiet for a moment, eyes locked on the wall as she listened. “ Five empousai outside the door.” She turned to Reyna. “ Do you have any plan in mind or should I wing the fuck out of this?”

reyna wipes her hand on her pants, smearing the blood there. the grip on her sword is much better after doing so; she couldn’t risk it slipping out of her hands at the wrong moment. her mind is still reeling from the situation, not quite sure how they had gotten into this mess. the door wouldn’t hold forever, but it had bought them some time. reyna takes advantage of the little time they have to take stock of her injuries. she had suffered a brutal hit to the chest, one of the empousai slamming into her with all it’s body weight, while reyna was holding them off for bianca. the daughter of hades needed a moment to muster the shadows into keeping the door shut. without her usual roman armor, the injury reyna suffered was much worse.

@scvtaest​ asked: ‘ ❤️ ’ for bianca please!

send me a ‘ ❤️ ’ for my muse to say something they love about your muse ! // accepting !!

SHE HUMS, TRYING to summarize the many thoughts she has regarding her daughter into one, succinct phrase. What she finally settles on is, "Tenacious, your tenacity. Oh, baby girl, you're one of the strongest people I've ever known, and I've known a few. Never bothered you what you came from. You take it on the chin, and just... push forward. You're so strong, Bianca."

including bianca in this, but (to no one's surprise) carter and sadie are probably the easiest ones to throw at your muses, niels and flavia in particular ! i'm too small-brained to come up with the specifics right now, but it'd be pretty cool to set them up on a smaller quest, whether or not it leads up to an over-arching plot ! & they do have a lot to learn from one another, be it in technique or general world vision. as for other muses, guizhong and zhongli could be interesting to explore a god / mortal interaction, especially since they have - or have had - such different visions on humans and their worth, but i'd probably have to brainstorm an au for them to fit in.
