[Persephone is sitting in a large chair that's from her room in Hades, she looks amused in-spite of this. Also, she looks more than a little like a goth. This is intentional. Her voice is soft and amused.]

So this is where all of those souls that Hades expected have gone missing too. Oh, don't worry, I'm not here to take you to him; no, anything that makes my husband angry is something that I firmly endorse. I will admit it's odd to be surrounded by souls that still have corporal forms. I am told that there is a garden... I'd like to stick my fingers in the dirt if possible.

My name is Persephone. Yes that one.

[Ohhhh, flower gets his attention so hard.]

My name is Data, and I am an android. It is a privilege to make your acquaintance, though you are very aesthetically pleasing and your abilities both... intriguing and intimidating.

[Oh he needs to make his mouth stop talking now.]

[Oh Persephone is just grinning at you with obvious delight now, Data. Delight and intent.]

You are fond of my flower, then?

[She makes the bloom become two, the stems twining together quickly.]

[Oh, stop talking. Stop talking. He walked headlong into this situation.]

Yes. I am... curious about your abilities, if they are comparable to other omnipotent beings I have met, and... if you like chocolate.

[He gets the slightest small distressed look on his face, because he can't help himself.]

Have you meant many other beings like myself, Data?

I am fond of chocolate. It is the closest mortals can come to ambrosia.

[There is amusement in her tone.]

Am I making you uncomfortable?

[empirical_data]

I have met one. He frequently found it amusing to toy with the crew.

You make me curious. The fact that I am unable to stop my responses makes me uncomfortable. I do not want to offend you.

Most Gods do find men wonderful playthings. My beloved husband did.

I have a great deal of tolerance for things others would find offensive, Data.

And I've never had an android... to talk to before.

[empirical_data]

I do prefer when individuals with cosmic power are also tolerant and show leniency toward individuals that are uncertain of their actions.

I also like talking.

[Except, apparently, when he can't make himself shut up.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

You would hate my husband.

Do you like talking to me? Or should I leave you be?

[empirical_data]

You don't seem especially fond of him, yourself.

I suppose I am. Outside of the nervousness brought on by the circumstances, you are a fascinating individual.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I am not. He knows it.

Thank you.
