[the audio is a bit static-filled. it's picking up pieces of the destruction going on. Hades, though. Hades is laughing. He's almost in hysterics. And... is... that the sound of... someone eating popcorn? No it can't be...]

This is a GEM! Beautiful craftsmanship, nicely executed, the screaming of, well, everyone - is always a nice touch. I wish I could take the credit for it, really, I do. But now, that's simply poor sportsmanship and all, and y'know, I'm a nice guy. So hey, I'd love to know the architect to this whole shebang, get myself an autograph.

Anybody?

Anyone out there?

[pause, then more laughter]

Oh, that's right!

[another pause]

You're all busy running for your lives.

Not all of us.

Well that's reassuring.

There are always more shadows, after all.

As it should be.

Precisely.

I didn't know you were so adept at sucking up.

[sputter]

[come on, Hades. COMPOSURE.]

It's all about playing your cards right.

[Except Hades actually is really experienced at sucking up. Maleficent, anyone?]

I'm sure you're used to that, given people always seem to play a better hand than you.

[siiiiiiiiiiiiizzle]

WHAT? A guy takes a vacation for just a LITTLE while and suddenly he's the lowest of the low? Muck at THE BOTTOM OF A BUCKET?

[annnd he cools off] Geez Louise, if you wanted more fireworks, I can give you more fireworks!

Whatever it takes to help your betters? How generous.

Hasn't anyone ever mentioned the phrase "be careful what you wish for" to you?

[The phrase in question is said with a very low, very dark tone of voice.]

Not enough, it seems. I'm willing to take risks to get some information about you, however. The fact that you can be easily goaded into action is particularly interesting.

[giggle]

I know! I've been watching the show from the sky. You know, the real sky.

Sounds like a good view.

It is! I thought of getting a little closer, but I really don't feel like playing hero or villain right now.

What is going on, Hades?

[there's a looooong silence and then Hades practically explodes with laughter all over again]

Well hero, what a time not to be in the city! Oh, this is priceless! What are you doing? Taking a vacation somewhere? I hope none of your little brat friends have been crushed! [mmm delicious sarcasm]

[A pause, and suddenly there's a great commotion of foliage being shoved out of the way. His voice shakes to the same rhythm as his rapid footfalls. His voice means business.]

What happened?!

Hear that?

[Riku, Riku, Riku... You can't say now that Hades never did anything nice for you, because Hades gives him the truth! And moves so that the journal picks up on the piercing cracking.]

That would be the sound of Paixao's domes. Shattering.

I'm surprised you're so happy. Aren't you angry someone's messing up your playground?

I've got some other hotspots to dabble in.

Besides, isn't this better? Some new terrain? Eh, so what if the property value will be ruined.

Now, now, my darling Nutmeg, I think we have some... one-upping to do, y'know? Have you enjoyed your vacation? Got some sun on the islands, maybe? Did some schmoozing?

Good.

Peachy.

I've lost some chess pieces lately, but at least there's still you. [there's a sound of him snapping his fingers] You might have to put in a little, teeny bit of overtime for this one... [their distance aside, Meg should be feeling a little bit of a tug against her soul - or where her soul would be, whatever.] So, what do you say? Maybe it's time to make use of those convenient friends of yours...

Oh, so is that what it takes to make you show yourself?

Eh, what, someone's been missin' me? Didn't realize I was so popular.

As if. You'd have to leave to be missed. You hid.

Gotta say, that's pretty sad.
