I wander lost in yesterday, wanting to fly...

OOC: Takes place some time after THIS THREAD.

Persephone was seated at the dining table with Hades. It seemed like a mere few days ago that their marriage had taken place, but at the moment, she had lost track of time. She still helped as much as possible with whatever duties that Hades deemed necessary for the Underworld, and Persephone loved the responsibility. She also kept flowers decorated throughout, a reminder forever of life amongst the dead.

Still, as she sat while Hades ate and she looked at her empty plate, it was a bittersweet feeling. She missed her mother terribly, and for that reason she knew that Hades was going to send her away soon. He hadn't said so specifically, but the upperworld was suffering thanks to Demeter's grief.

Persephone felt torn in two between the ones she loved the most.

"My lord, you seem more melancholy than usual," she started, noting the pomegranates in the center of the table. "Is there anything I can do to ease your mood?" Slowly, Persephone reached out toward the forbidden fruit -- fruit that would bind her to Hades and the Underworld forever -- and held it in one hand near her lips as she awaited his answer.

OOC: Takes place after the big party thread.

Stefanie couldn't believe how things had changed for her and for Aiden. They'd spoken to Alec and Eden, who both pointed out the irony that the two couples had switched roles; Aiden and Stefanie now were the ones trying to conceal their affair while Eden and Alec were open about theirs.

It didn't seem fair to her considering Aiden was her husband, though.

Kira had promised them dance lessons, too, and so Stefanie had made her excuses to the United Nations once again to go to Amsterdam. Kira had said to meet at The Golden Tulip Apollo Amsterdam, which made Stefanie smile at the name, figuring that Kira had done that on purpose.

The place, as it turned out, was actually very nice -- not one of the red light districts she'd been expecting. When Stefanie got to the room, though, Kira wasn't there. She held her breath as she sat on the bed, fingers brushing against her necklace as she hoped against hope that maybe Aiden would come and be alone.

If he did, she owed Kira for a long time.

01.) Full name? - Persephone, or Περσεφόνη. Stefanie Demetrios in modern-day.
02.) Best friend? - She's a loner, actually. If you asked her who it would be, she'd say her husband, though.
03.) Sexuality? - She tends to be more monogamous than most Greek gods, and this is due to her first sexual experience. She'd do a threesome if Aiden asked her to.
04.) Favorite color? - Black. It reminds her of living in Hades and of Aiden.
05.) Relationship status? - Married (in modern-day) to Aiden Avernus, AKA Hades. In terms of RP, she hasn't "officially" married Hades yet, but right now it's probably just a formality.
06.) Ideal mate? - Hades/Aiden. She's been so secluded her whole life, and he tends to like seclusion. Together, they end up complimenting each other nicely.
07.) Turn-ons? - She's learning to enjoy being a sub in bed.
08.) Last sexual experience? - Persephone and Hades had sex for the first time since the rape. It was basically like really losing her virginity, and she absolutely loved it.
09.) Favorite food? - Pomegranates, for sentimental reasons.
10.) Crushes? - The only crush she has ever had was on Adonis, but he's dead in the modern-world. A lot of why she liked him had to do with Mintha, but that's another story...
11.) Favorite music? - Anything classical and dark. For someone who can bring life, she likes to stay in the dark a lot due to Aiden.
12.) Biggest fear? - That one day, the 6 months she sees Aiden will end somehow.
13.) Biggest fantasy? - That she will be able to see Aiden for the entire year, without her mother meddling.
14.) Quirks in bed? - She calls Hades "my lord" and is very submissive.
15.) Bad habits? - She doesn't think of herself enough. Stefanie likes to think of Aiden first or maybe her mother, and then of course how well the Earth is doing, but herself? She cares very little for which would piss off Aiden if he knew.
16.) Biggest regret? - Turning Mintha into a mint tree.
17.) Best kept secrets? - Not telling Aiden how little she cares for herself while he's not around, probably.
18.) Last thought? - "I hope he'll let me stay in his bed."
19.) Worst sexual experience? - When Hades raped her. She's gotten good at trying to forget that happened, and is quite the Stockholm Syndrome girl now.
20.) Biggest insecurity? - Anything that involves losing Aiden's love for her.

She hadn't managed to sleep much that night, but the bath had been welcome. The next day, a few servants had been waiting outside of her bedroom and asked what their mistress wished of them.

Persephone had asked for another bath.

It was pointless, she knew; there was no way she could ever clean herself enough that the memory would be erased. It was part of who she was now, which she supposed, was also the Queen of the Underworld. Normally, Persephone would have been thrilled to have the power and a place of her own to claim as "home", but nothing about what had happened could be called "normal".

After her third bath of the day, she dressed in some clothes that were brought to her and walked around the palace barefoot. Everyone she met deferred to her immediately, and she was unsure what to do about that. Persephone ended up nodding her head in a sort of "thank you" to them as she moved on.

Everything was cold, just as Hades had said. She hated that. She hated having to be here, but it seemed as if that was her fate. If she was going to be here and going to rule, then she wanted to have something of hers. She could not conjure up flowers here, but she could ask others to bring them down to her. Since they seemed so eager to do her bidding, Persephone wound up with a great deal of flora, which she used to start accentuating certain areas of the otherwise dark palace walls.
