Character(s): Megara, Zetta
Content: Megara has to be certain Hades is gone and runs into someone even more annoying in the process.
Setting: Around G5, outside The Glass Bonsai
Time: Week 22, morning.
Warnings: Sarcasm and swearing?

Megara was not an optimist. She was still arguably young, but sometimes if felt like she had lifetime of mistakes and heartache. A life that taught her that when something was too good to be true, it was. So when she hadn't heard even a whisper from Hades in more than a few weeks, she didn't allow herself to hope. When she couldn't even find the barest scrap of his presence whispered among the natives, she ignored the urge to celebrate. It wasn't like him to just up and leave, after all. Especially without her in his oily grasp.

Business was slow with everyone focusing the elections, so today, she closed up shop and headed out into the city. Now she found herself wandering in what looked like a cheaper part of town. There was a pawnshop across the street, she noted with mild interest. And still no sign of the being that owned her.

"Like I care what those problems are. All I care about is finding a way out of here. Everyone else can take care of themselves," Zetta replied, though it sounded as though some of the wind had been knocked out of his sails. From the reactions he had gotten from a lot of the people in this city so far, she was right. Most people didn't know who he was. There were still a few who did--and like hell he was going to let that go--but people barely even blinked at him. Even the damn humans were mouthing off to him. Damn it all, if she wasn't unarmed and he wasn't so sure it'd be a curbstomping (like anyone would let him forget it if he did anything), he would show her just who she was messing with.

"But fine, we'll play it your way. Just what do you have planned, huh? Got any ideas?"
