There was a loud bang and suddenly the painted skies of Paixao began to crack. Angels and clouds separated from the mural they had once been apart of and began to fell to the earth, crushing anyone and anything they managed to land on.

They were the first, but they certainly weren't the last.

While Shantotto enjoyed a good dose of excitement, this was a little much, even for her. Her current residence had been rather crushed, you see; a falling arch from the ceiling destroying it. Given she'd been resting up since her, well, incident, she was rather peeved now.

The small mage did her part in destroying some of the larger pieces of falling debris. While everyone was fleeing for their lives, no one was paying attention to much else, but Shantotto was far more calm and observant. It was hard to not notice the figure atop of City Hall.

It didn't take but a few moments to cast a powerful Flare spell on the spectator.

While the Flare spell itself didn't do harm to Hades, being fire-based, the principle behind the attack was enough to make Hades yell in an angry fit, orange flame bursting out over his arms, up his shoulders, and topping his hair before settling back to blue. Not only had someone interrupted quality entertainment, they also knocked his popcorn off the rooftop.

Did they not have any manners?

Furious, he got to his feet, the lounge chair and umbrella puffing out of existence with smoke and darkness, and he threw out ripples of flame.

"WHAAAAAT?! WHO'S GOT THE NERVE?!"

It's not like Shantotto was easy to spot after all.

"I could ask you the same question; sitting there, watching this crisis like it's a show. That's more than a little suspicious, you know," a voice called back at him, from behind. She now was perched on the other end of the roof, arms folded confidently.

Hades spun around, eyes twitching with annoyance. "Suspicious, huh? Me. Suspicious. Really." He lifted up an arm... "I never would have guessed." ...and he hurled a fireball at her.

Hands suddenly out in front of her, purple magic surrounded the fireball, halting it's flight before it was diverted harmlessly away.

"Ohohohoho! You'll never hit me with something like that, so don't waste my time!" she snapped, hands now on her hips. "Let's just get straight to the point: did you have something to do with this crime?"

A magic-user, huh? Great. And her height was like trying to shoot an arrow at a needle. He'd have to deep-fry the whole roof to get her singed - which hey, Hades was perfectly happy with. If a certain dark sorceress complained, he'd blame it on the domes!

Easy-peasy.

He spun around, the darkness at his base moving smoothly with his motions.

"You know something? I would love, more than anything, to have had something to do with this 'crime' as you put it. Really wish its architect clued ol' Hades in on the game, because it could use some of my..." He fished around for the right word, and when he said it, wisps of smoke exploded from his hands and moved like serpents towards her, harmlessly, and his eyes bulged. "Finesse. Yes, that's right."

"It does somewhat lack any imagination," she conceded; not so much the act, but the apparent lack of show about it. Destroying the domes was rather a feat. It was strange no one was stepping up to take responsibility. It certainly still had managed to make things a whole lot more exciting around here, however. She would have been enjoying it more if she now hadn't been left homeless.

"One wonders what exactly anyone hopes to gain from this devastation," she mused aloud.

Funny, they've gone from slinging spells at one another to what might be considered a peaceful confrontation. Now that Hades thought about it, wasn't she the one that wanted to curse the city to get Xemnas to show up? Hm. Maybe the little shrimp was worth keeping an eye on.

He crossed his arms and leaned back, paying her some real attention for the first time.

"Heh. Maybe they were simply bored. Idle hands, and all that." Hades could speak very well from experience. He himself was leaning towards that. He rose a brow and strode to one side. "Or maybe there's something else going on, hm? Something bigger in the... scheme of all things. And this is all just a catastrophic distraction."

He paused for a long moment, then clapped his hands together an burst out laughing.

"Who am I kidding!"

"Of course it's all a giant distraction! The falling domes are just a small part of the action!" she said, looking at him like he was foolish to laugh at it.

"Almost everyone is blind to one apparent fact: this is all just an elaborate prison, designed to distract!" Shantotto continued, her arms folded, a serious expression on her childish face.

"No matter how pretty or interesting the inside may be, a prison is a prison; we're not free."

That killed some of his apparent cheer. Hades did not need to be reminded about it! That... that even a god like himself was confined in this prison of a city. Orange flicked over the skin of his arms, dancing up the back of his neck before it got to his hair. His hands tightened, his teeth were clenched...

And for just a moment it even looked like he might cool off. Let her "reminder" slide over him like water.

Except... Hades and water weren't the best of friends.

Orange flames crawled across his body and Hades flung out his arms. "I don't need YOU to remind me of THAT!" he yelled. "Don't you think I KNOW when I'm being caged?! I. AM. A. GOD!"

More flames accented his last words, bursting out, pushing towards the sky in a stream away from him. But it seemed like that act allowed him to settle down, the flames simmering until it was again just his colored skin, though he seethed quietly, looking at her.

The Tarutaru just watched; her large brown eyes showing no hint of fear in the slightest, as she watched the angry god. She was completely calm in the face of his rage. When he'd finally, somewhat calmed down, she simply shrugged, before folding her arms once more.

"It just seemed rather like you'd forgotten, given you were sitting here, relaxing. If being trapped here is really such a problem for you, then perhaps you should try doing something a little more taxing?" she suggested, smugly.

What a tiny, insignificant pest! Where did she get being all high and mighty? There was a strength about her that Hades hadn't been expecting, sure, but... but she was still nothing!

"So I'm appreciating a show! Can't let something this good go to waste!" he growled. "I've got plans! I've got all the plans in the world!" He didn't, actually, but he wasn't going to tell her that - in fact he didn't need to explain anything to her! Why was he putting up with this?

"Look, small fry, I don't know who you think you are, but don't you go assuming anything!"

It was pretty clear from the tarutaru's expression she didn't believe him one bit. His reaction only proved he didn't have a plan in the world, but not that it mattered to her.

"Hohoho~! I'll 'assume' all I like, now how about you go on and take a hike?" she said, with a dismissive gesture.
