This is Doctor Chilton. Haven't heard about any neon-stained tragedies involving the youth -- as a generalized monolith -- so I figure you might be comatose and I ought to check in.
[Aah, and here's the other one. The savior Hel-beast herself. Persephone should asure her that the damage was unintentional. that she'll be more careful. that this was a mistake she's finally ready to not make again. ]
k. sounds good.
[ or she could go back to sleeping off this hangover ]
[ Being an upset teenager, Persephone had spent no insignificant amount of mental energy obsessing over imagined versions of their next conversation. She came up with some really good lines, depending on he comes at her.
[ For some fucking reason a small summons circle opens next to her, where ever the fuck her location happens to be. It spits out a bottle of water and a slice of lemon loaf from that coffee place she likes that costs too goddamn much. Along with the offerings of ambrosia and nectar is a note scribbled on a slightly charred napkin:
speaking from personal experience, it's better to take the antipsychotics with food. ]

anyway u got any plans for thanksgiving? bcuz we're doing a thing at my place well archie and betty are feel free to drop by if ur not busy! bring whoever u want
[ left for pseph.. wherever she's staying at the moment.. is an envelope addressed to her (and luci), with a handpainted invitation inside: ]
[ written on the back of the invitation is a gps location in the shenandoah valley and a comment: Honestly, I have no idea how to get this to Luci, so it's all on you. And not that you two probably couldn't figure it out, but you won't see the house at first since it's warded. When you get close enough, you'll see the gate; the wards are set to let you through. ]
Consider this a formal reprieve from my services until further notice. I just hurt myself slipping on ice due to being made of flesh instead of metal, I doubt I can properly bodyguard anything right now.
Hey, Persephone? It's me, Utena. Woden offered me a- he said he could help me. With my powers. I guess everything's gone kind of crazy since I've been gone... anyway, he said that you'd back him up, but that doesn't really sound like you - no offense. But, well... if you get this, call me back, okay?
[And when she calls back, she sounds a liiiittle more frantic]
Persephone? Persephone, it's Utena again. Look, things are getting really, really weird right now, and you're the only one I can talk to about this whole weird... pantheon...god thing. Please - please, call me back, okay?
[have a selfie of Magnus and Alex in the dopey onesies you got them. Alex is absolutely rocking the unicorn one, horn proudly aloft, of course, and Magnus (looking much more embarrassed and half-hiding behind Alex), is maybe in the dinosaur one (hard to tell, with the hood down). his eyes are crunched up, laughing into his boyfriend's shoulder]
[snapchat style, there's a message across the bottom of the pic: looking real cute for the holidays thx <33]
We have never met, but I believe we have a mutual opponent. I also believe you not only know a great deal more about said opponent but more importantly, their patterns of behavior.
[ Good thing this is text. They can skip over the whole 'omg you're blue thing. ]
[ What the christ is this? Persephone isn't used to such formal communication, but she does like getting her hands into adversarial pies, so sure. Why not? ]
