SING, O GODDESS
[The place that Zagreus brings them to is an abandoned house. Like the rest of Greece, at first the grass and plants are dead, withered. But only at first.
As everyone files into the garden, it starts to slowly come to life. flowers begin to bloom. Fruits and vegetables start to sprout from the soil. The trees begin to grow once more. Wheat stalks slowly pop up out of the ground. Wherever this is, it's clear that life is returning-and the gods are awakening.
It's probably best that they don't return to the underworld, to the House of Hades-but, if anyone wishes to, Charon has arrived with the dead from the previous rounds-now alive-and little baby Ayame. If anyone wishes to go there-though, why would anyone ever willingly go back to the House, knowing you-know-who is probably awake by now?-they can.
But for those who stay here, there is food and drink, wine and bread, fresh meat and ripe crudités. Talk. Plot. Say your goodbyes before you are SHIFTed back to your homeworlds.
Who knows? Maybe there are still some surprises left to be had. But, either way...it is a good day. The new moon will pass. The sun will rise.
The Game-or at least, this variation of it-is over.]
((OoC: And with this, Round 7 is complete! Thank you everyone who participated-we hope you enjoy the aftermath, and stay tuned for the SHIFT Meme and HMD!))

Medic? I don't really have any idea who that is or what they look like. I kinda shipped you and Heart simply because you were always so passionate about protecting him and being with him.

[Hermes shakes his head.]
Oooooookay, first of all, Kira was always seeming like the private type. I once shipped him with the girl painted in the Mona Lisa, since, you know, he always seemed private and tried to distance himself from everyone here. He never really went to any of the meetings, plus he was already married.
...Buuuut then the moment where things... got a little creepy. Suddenly, Kira slices off Makima's hand and is now completely obeying every single order she tells him to. It's weird. I'm sorry, but a healthy relationship should not be solely based off of sliced-up hands.

She's even more passionate than me--she has the ability to feel devotion. That's Medic's emotion.
And she's the one that's most important to Heart.
no subject
She seemed happy, though. And Makima-san is intelligent enough to not involve herself in a situation that would not be advantageous to her.
no subject
Oh! What's your emotion? What does Medic look like?
[As for the Makima and Kira thing...?]
She may SEEM happy, but... is what they have together truly a good romance? I'm sorry, but it feels like a NoTP to me. And that's my decision to not ship them together. It's my choice.
[For someone who was so passive before, Hermes seems very insistent on having made a choice for himself, right?]
no subject
As for Medic, in her human projection she is about Akane-san's height with dark hair that she wears in a coiled braid and dark eyes, and she wears a black box hat and a black dress.
Her Roidmude form looks fairly different, however.
[he tilts his head]
As for Makima and Kira, I suppose it does depend on your definition of romance. I would have never slated Heart and I as romantic, and as for him and Medic, I suppose that is for them to decide. She is devoted to him, of course, and he clearly cares about her the most.
Nevertheless, it is your decision.
However, in terms of my own opinion on myself, I would like you to take me off.
no subject
Yeah, I think I actually like the feeling of this ship better.
[Hermes turns to Brain.]
But you don't have to be all about Envy. I mean, I get Jealous of Hypnos at times for taking up Thanatos's time, but that's not all who I am. And envy isn't all who you are.
[Hermes places an encouraging footclaw on Brain's shoulder.]
You're also determined. And nice! Never forget that, okay?
no subject
No, envy may not be all he is. But it's certainly very strong. It's where his strength comes from.
Brain stiffens just a bit as Hermes puts a footclaw on his shoulder--but he can't help but choke on a laugh when he says he's nice. He shakes his head, relaxing]
You know, some times I almost start to take what you're saying like you really could understand and simply just don't, and then you say something ridiculous like that.
I'm not nice. [he looks bemused] Envy isn't all I am, but it is what has enabled me to evolve. It is and always will be my core emotion, just as Joy will always be Heart's, and Devotion will always be Medic's. I don't see it as a bad thing. It is who I am.
no subject
And if you think Envy is your core emotion... don't. Don't let your Envy control you. I...
[Hermes sighs.]
I just spent so long just watching people. I felt as if I tried to do anything good, it'll just blow up in my face. And it did, a good few times. It's only now, I'm starting to take control of my life again, and it's terrifying, making choices for myself.
But... I feel like I need the control. And you should have control, too.
no subject
[Brain huffs, folding his arms]
Your situation is not the same as mine, Hermes. Be glad of your success, and perhaps focus on that.
