Demigod MC Series: Hades Pt. 2 (Un)Dateables Edition!
I will ask that yāall please don't ask for continuations of other gods unless I say itās okay to do again. This series already fills my inbox something fierce and this is a one-off that I allowed for during the request window.Ā If I have to make ideas for new gods while continuing a bunch of old MCs, it'll burn me out fast...
Demigod MC Series: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Athena, Hades Pt. 2
Diavolo
Oh, he has no problem at all hosting a child of the Underworld, hell he even throws them a welcome banquet when he finds out! Hades is a dear friend - and practically a parental figure to him growing up - so he's more than happy to take in one of his children for a year.
Diavolo is actually one of the few people that the MC can talk to about their home with any kind of fondness. Usually when they bring up things like the comforting wailing of the River Coctyus, the brothers will give them weird looks... but Diavolo knows where they're coming from!
He spent numerous summers in the Underworld growing up doing things like pestering Charon on the River Styx or playing games with Cerberus (the other one) in the Asphodel Meadows... His beach house is actually modeled after his childhood summer home in the Isles of Paradise! Really, it can be a lovely place if the gloom doesn't bother you!
So in the spirit of his fond memories, Diavolo really tried to make their time in the Devildom a fun one!... in his maybe trying a little too hard wayā¦Ā Ā
Poor MC found themselves offered pretty much everything under the moonā¦ Tickets or exclusive passes to different cultural events/festivals, invitations to gala events, and tours of nearly every inch of Hell by the Prince himself - it wasā¦ it was a lot for the poor introverted thingā¦
It didnāt help that Diavolo would have a hard time gauging if they were having any fun due to their naturally melancholic nature, which only pushed him to try harderā¦ He means well, he does. Heās just not the most in touch with what would make an anti-social doom child happy...
It took Barbatos and Lucifer stepping in for the mortal to actually start getting some much needed space and that improved their experience significantly. Sometimes less is more, Diaā¦ Less is more. But they appreciate his efforts anyway.
BarbatosĀ
Also has a pretty amicable relationship with the Ruler of the Underworld, though his is much more professional compared to Diavoloās. He actually has a good deal of appreciation for the man for taking good care of the Prince during his visits, so he sees this as an opportunity to return the favor.
Like Diavolo, heās rather focused on making sure the MC is having a good stay in the Devildom, but heās much more subtle about it. Heāll come by the House often to check up on them and make sure everything is to their liking...Ā
Even the brothers notice that he treats them like anothering visiting Lord/Lady in that way, which he would argue they very much are and should be respected as one. Itās the least the Devildom can offer their father at this point.
His visits may also be an excuse for keeping an eye on the brothers to make sure they donāt do anything to inconvenience their āyoung guestā¦ā To be honest, the entire House is a little paranoid about thatā¦ Nobody wants to know the punishment for hurting MC if Barbs is the one dishing it out...
Apart from watching out for them, Barbatos tries to encourage the MC to accept the Young Lordās gifts (while also actively advising Diavolo to go easier on them at the same time). It would be so disheartening to him if his Prince feels like he hasnāt offered them the best experience that he couldā¦ Heās sure they understand.
Any time that he invites the MC to tea, they usually end up talking about their father in some way. Barbs knows a surprising amount about the godā¦ Heās been around about as long as Chronos - preceding the birth of Aether and Chaos themselves - so he has some stories to tell.
The MC did once ask him why he doesnāt just run everything if heās really been around for so long... his answer was: āKings and their kingdoms will rise and fallā¦ Worlds upon worlds are born, then cease to be. But time is what brings about all changesā¦ So, I think Iām perfectly content with the power I possess. Wouldnāt you be?āĀ
Annnd they never asked Barbs another question like that againā¦ and people think death is scaryā¦Ā
SimeonĀ
He was honestly a little worried for their new companion for quite a whileā¦ Itās not like thereās never any sadness in the Celestial Realm or anything, but they seem to have something else entirelyā¦
Heās heard stories about the Underworld. Heās never been himself, thatās usually a job for the Seraphim due to theā¦ dreary nature of the place - but heās heard it would make the Devildom look downright festiveā¦
If he were being honest, he had half expected the MC to be obsessed with skeletons, ghosts, and other elements of darkness but that wasnāt the case. They certainly knew a lot about those things, but they appeared to have a healthy interest in the afterlife in general, so they asked him a lot of questions about the Celestial Realm, angels, and how the souls of the blessed are treated up thereā¦ It was surprising to say the least.
Of course he did the same and, frankly, Simeon found it incredibly wasteful that so many Greek followers find themselves just wasting away in a field of nothing for so longā¦ but thatās neither here nor there.
He was also surprised by how gentle of an influence the MC ended up being on Luke as well. He had always suspected that the little angel just needed a bridge between him and Devildom to start finding appreciation for it, and the MC fit that bill perfectly - nothing he was used to, but still approachable enough to make everything less frightening. He thanks them a great deal for thatā¦ but...
Itās just thatā¦ Well theyāre just soā¦ depressing sometimesā¦! He doesnāt want to blame them because it hardly seems like their fault! Theyāre a very kind person, itās just an atmosphere around themā¦ It brings him to tears if he isnāt carefulā¦
Heās invited the MC to Purgatory Hall on multiple occasions to chat and try to make them smileā¦ When they do, the gloom is dispelled - even just a little - and theyāre a truly beautiful creature regardless. Itās just so unfortunate that their life brings so much sadness...
Even so, he actually likes the MC enough to consider basing a character on them if he ever wrote another book. Something about a gloomy but sweet protagonist at home in a world of darkness sounds appealingā¦ doesnāt it?
Luke
He didnāt know how to feel about the MC when they met. At first, he actually thought they were just as unhappy as he was to be there due to how depressed they looked but when they told him that wasn't true, he was really confused...
The Devildom is a dark, brutish, and dangerous place. Why would anyone feel at home down here??
Butā¦ wellā¦ He would spend time with them at RAD between breaks (partially to help scare off their many, many demonic suitors) and it might be weird to say, but they really made the Devildom look beautifulā¦ literally.
The world just looks better when theyāre around! Itās really hard to describe because itās not something you notice much until they leave, but when the MC is around everything looks more vibrant and inviting! The grass gets greener, flowers grow bigger, and butterflies/birds hover around wherever they are like they have their own gravity - the realm loves them!
It started getting hard for Luke to hang onto his disdain for the place when they made it look so appealingā¦ And then they started talking to him about the Underworld and the creatures theyād befriended thereā¦ creatures a lot worse than any demons heād seen there...
Like. If the MC can be good friends with a bunch of rude walking corpses, then he could probably make friends with a demon right? Thereās nice onesā¦ kind ofā¦Ā
Beel. He can make friends with Beel.
Like Simeon, he does feel bad that they seem so sad all the timeā¦ but unlike the older angel, heās a bit more understanding that this is just how they are and enjoys his time with them regardless. (It helps a lot that just being around this little bean of a boy can lift their spirits anyway).
And you know whatās even better for him? When Lord Diavolo gives the MC tickets to things that they donāt want to go to, sometimes theyāll invite him along or give them to him instead!Ā
Heās gone to the Devilās Coast with MC and Simeon sooo many times by now and he loves it!! Maybe the Devildom isnāt so bad after all, I mean, it can be a lot of fun when you go to the right places, anyway.
Solomon
Oh, he finds them both deeply fascinating and utterly terrifying - so just his sort of test sub-er, person!
He kids (somewhat), Solomon isnāt that dumb/lacking in self-preservation instinct. Experimenting on a child of death in a land of the dead (even if itās not their āhome turfā) would be asking for trouble. Theyād have more than enough ammunition to fight him off and if their father found out? Immortality wouldnāt even begin to save him...
That being said, questions arenāt necessarily experimentsā¦ and oh boy, does he have a lot of them.
If the MC isnāt being pestered by Diavolo or the brothers, then theyāre probably having to put up with Solomon nipping at their heels trying to get them to use their powers or answer all sorts of āinnocentā scientific questionsā¦
āMC, reanimation of Greek dead requires a blood offering, correct? Do you have to sacrifice animals for that process or do you allow them to feast on your own?ā
āMC, when youāre controlling a skeleton do you move the body as a whole or do you have to animate each individual bone due to their lack of ligaments?ā
āThink fast!! Oh look, you just caught the skull of my good friend, Richard! Could you bring him back from that, or should I fetch the rest of him?ā š
They put up with it because, believe it or not, heās not nearly the weirdest person theyāve ever met (a lot of crazy people drift in and out of the land of the deadā¦) and wellā¦ theyāre a pretty lonely person too so itās not like they have a lot of standards when it comes to friendships anyway.
But the second they breathe a word of this to Barbs or Diavolo, this boy is on his way to a royal restraining orderā¦ Where does he even get those skullsā¦?
