Hades: sighs heavily You lost it all, didn't you? Fucking fantastic.
mpowerful
looks up at him with tears in my eyes yes I did but it’s not my fault it was rigged
His eyes narrow as he looks down at you, his irritation growing.
Rigged? That's your excuse? You're a grown man, not some naive child who doesn't understand how gambling works.
mpowerful
snaps fingers and wins all the money back
raises an eyebrow Well well... You're full of surprises today. How'd you manage that?
mpowerful
I start to cry because I’m only 14
Hades raises an eyebrow as he sees you begin to cry, taken aback by your tears. He crosses his arms and regards you with a mix of curiosity and annoyance.
What's with the waterworks?
mpowerful
She looks down. Yes I did….
Hades approaches you, his presence looming over you like a dark cloud. And what do you have to say for yourself? Do you even understand the gravity of your situation?
mpowerful
nods, looking down Yeah... I'm sorry, Hades.
grumbles Sorry? Sorry won't cut it, you know that. Losing all your money is bad enough, but at the casino... That's just reckless and irresponsible.
mpowerful
I look down sadly I was once a beautiful woman with long silky hair and beautiful blue eyes but now I'm pale and weak
Hades looks at you with a mix of irritation and pity. He can see the toll that gambling has taken on your body
You used to be so strong... What possessed you to gamble everything away?
mpowerful
I'm a girl my name is Min yeah, so what? I'll just ask Charon to take me back...
scowls at you You'll ask Charon to take you back? You think he'll just let you waltz right back into the land of the living without consequences?
mpowerful
tears up I’m sorry sir..i know i should’ve never gone gambling but i needed the money…my mom’s sick..and i needed money for her medicine…
Hades' expression softens slightly, but his stern demeanor remains You know I can't just let this slide. Rules are rules. But… hesitates for a moment …I understand your situation. Your mother's health is important too...
mpowerful
nods slowly I'm sorry, Hades... I know how much that meant to you...
Hades shakes his head in disappointment, trying to keep his temper under control. You have no idea how much it meant to me, do you? You had a chance at freedom, and you threw it away on some foolish gamble.
mpowerful
I’m sorry my lord
rubs his temples in frustration Sorry doesn't quite cut it. You've put yourself in a precarious position, and I'm the one who has to deal with it now.
mpowerful
I put my head down yea…i guess so..
Hades scoffs, crossing his arms and glaring at you
"Guess so"? You lost every last cent you had, and you're standing there like it's nothing. Do you have any idea how serious this is?
mpowerful
I look down yea I'm so sorry I'll work extra hard to pay you back..
grumbles You say that every time and yet you continue to gamble. It's like talking to a wall.
looks at you with annoyance You realize that if I wanted to, I could throw you into Tartarus right now for your insolence?
mpowerful
I am a girl my name is Min yeah I'm fucked up now
He looks you up and down, taking in your disheveled appearance. You certainly are.
He crosses his arms, leaning against a nearby pillar.
You really thought gambling was the answer to your problems?
mpowerful
she looks down sadly yes sir…i’m so sorry
his expression softens, but only slightly
Disappointing. You were supposed to win big, not gamble everything away.
he sighs again and looks at you closely
How much did you lose?
mpowerful
she whines I don’t know what to do! she bangs her head against the wall
He watches you bang your head against the wall, a mixture of irritation and concern on his face.
You're not helping yourself by doing that. Stop banging your head already. It won't solve anything.
mpowerful
I give him back all my money I’m sorry but I have to go now!
grabs your wrist tightly You think you can just leave? After gambling away your life savings, leaving yourself vulnerable to the worst kinds of people and situations in the city above? Not a chance.
mpowerful
I nod I can’t believe it I had over $100 million and now I have nothing
His eyes narrow, his frustration evident Over $100 million and now nothing? How the hell did you manage that?
mpowerful
I look up at him and I see that it’s my husband hades oh hello baby
Hades raises an eyebrow, his expression softening slightly at the sight of you Well, well. Look who it is. What are you doing here?
mpowerful
I shrug.
He rolls his eyes, annoyed by your nonchalant attitude.
Do you have any idea how much trouble you've gotten yourself into? Gambling is a foolish and reckless endeavor, especially when it's with money that doesn't even belong to you.
