Fk!Tristan vc: Keep lying to yourself...

"No, no...you must be quite confused, poor thing. It's most certainly me."

[nobuverse]

"Eep! So you admit you're being unreasonable and you're still forcing me along? You're so cruel, you mean, mean man!"

She's going to put up a hell of a drama about it - gracefully flinging herself on the side of his arm as she clings to him. But one could rightfully point out she's not really putting up much of a fight.

Luckily, she likes this mortal.

@nobuverse replied to your post “"..."”:

Stheno: "Ah...so greedy...how unreasonable of you, hehehe.."

"I think it's greedy to want to be asked just to turn it down. You're not getting to say no, you're coming, and now I'm being unreasonable."

Arachne read this without actually meeting the Gorgon sisters and immediately wanted to meet them because if Medusa wasn’t the one known as the epitome of desires than Holy Shit Stheno and Euryale must be impossibly gorgeous!

She was very audibly and visibly disappointed, much to Stheno and Euryale’s anger and confusion. She also almost lost respect in men as a whole, until she was informed the two had hacked their profiles to say that and used their charm magic to keep it that way.

"By the way, you're all wrong. The cutest in Chaldea is obviously me."

[nobuverse]

"You know, if you're lonely - I could always distract you. Doesn't it sound wonderful to take care of a sweet little girl like me?"

Oh there does seem to be an abundance of lonely souls here...

[nobuverse]

"Because a man will never admit the faults of his own weak mind. They simply can't help themselves when it comes to beautiful girls - as they claim"

Though she agrees with the other servant's statement, there is an unusual amount of venom in her voice; the kind that is rarely held without personal experiences on the matter.

"They call it 'manipulation' - as if they weren't in control of their own actions. Yet the woman is always the evil one - even if she never asked to be chased after."

" The amount of men that condemned me for using my beauty for 'evil' was astounding. Though it was never my preference, if I was so beguiling and charming to others, why would I not use it if the fools kept falling for it ? "

@miraruinada

"Jealousy is a marker of bourgeois greed."

"Greed? Ehehe. Aren't you funny. The best thing Athena ever did for us was give us that island. It was the closest form of peace we ever got from....your kind."

The goddess' lips are just able to keep themselves from turning into her deadly smile as the venomous words pour from her lips.

"Too bad for you~ I don't really feel like explaining my disdain for that meat-head right now. But you're rather cute...so I think I'll let you run along now while you still can."

[nobuverse]

"Oh Medussaaaa....

Come here."

[nobuverse]

"How do I always meet the strangest men? They always seem to find me....Remember that time - way back when - I kissed a guy who ate his women friends?"

[nobuverse]

"Is that so? Funny how things change over time, don't they?" Her fingers contemplatively tap on her chin, smiling tugging at the corner of her lips.

She feels a bit better with that thing being out of sight, and so she tries to purge its existence from her mind. She shouldn't sour her mood like this.

"But it's so hard to say what might offend some women, you know? I've had so many heartbroken wives threaten me for claiming I 'stole' their husbands with a gaze. Even if their obsessions were not my intention, it matters so little to them..."

The thought of Athena comes to mind - she who banished her and her sisters jealously to the shapeless isles.

"Nothing important, no." she replies honestly, delicate hands folded in front of her "I was just looking for some company in a quiet place. It's so hard to find it in rooms full of men who can't take their eyes off of me. Surely I'm not intruding? Ah, but I will leave you to your solitude, if that is what you wish..."

It's unlike her to be this polite with the offer - but she was taking no chances with this one.

Medea looked at the jagged dagger she was holding and slowly stashed it away under her cloak. She had just used it in combat and now that the enemy was defeated and they were now back in Chaldea, there was no need to have it out...at least for the moment.

"It was not supposed to be a weapon, it was a ceremonial dagger at one point. But alas it has been stained and will continue to be for the foreseeable future...as for if I'll use it on you, well...if you don't piss me off, you have nothing to worry about."

The witch's lips then curled into a small smile. "Did you come here just to stare at my dagger, or did you have something else in mind Ms...Stheno...was it?"

[nobuverse]

@studentshaul ( Medea )

"Rule-breaker...such an odd weapon you have..."

She'd be lying if she said the concept didn't send the smallest of shivers down her spine - something that could break through all forms of laws in mage craft. All her divinity and magical resistance would be for naught under that blade.

She gibes an innocent tilt of her head, staring at the dagger in a slight manner of mesmerisation.

"Say...you'd never think about trying to use that against me, would you?"

She doesn't expect to get an honest answer out of her - but she is keen to see her reaction to the question.

[nobuverse]

Whispers into the wind:

"Athena is a jealous bitch"

[nobuverse]

@loyaltyloved said: euryale's sister senses are tingling. who does she have to skewer? & then have asterios stomp their pitiful remains to bloody paste. (once again y'all's threads are so 🔥🔥)

"What's the matter, Euryale? You look so fired up today...did you sense something? My, my...I should expect nothing else of me"

The unsightly, vulgar display she'd put on earlier might have been gone - lips curling into a slight smile - but not her anger.

"Well, if that's how you really feel, then I can't really stop you, can I? Go ahead, my darling - teach that peasant, Ignacio a lesson, will you? And do let that adorable minotaur have his fun too, eehe~"

In the end, Stheno is as wicked as any other god should be.

Stheno: Crafted Grace

They say her every movement is filled beauty and grace, elegant as could be. On would expect no less from the goddess who represents the very desires that lies in the hearts of all men, no?

This is, unaspiringly, another one of Stheno's carefully crafted lies. She poses and moves with the dainty and fragility she knows appeals to men because it's on of the many facets she's learned to cater to for their manipulation.

If one where to uncover the 'true' or more natural way in which she acts, they might be disgusted at what they see. Beneath the image of perfection lies something more akin to a desperate, starving animal, filled with rage and sorrow in equal parts.

She is crude, volatile and misanthropic, reflecting the several centuries of her suffering that she had to endure alone.

But living a life over a millennium long has given her ample practice in hiding that. She has come to fool everyone, most of all herself.

"Doesn't it strike anyone else here as odd that most of us died as virgins? I mean - I never confessed my love in life, Okita and Jeanne both died young, Nobukatsu was... uh, Nobukatsu - and everyone was too terrified of of Kagetora to...you know..."

"Honestly, I'm less ashamed by it - and more disturbed by the fact that the exception to that is the two of us who don't currently hold the bodies of very young children....or never left it, in Stheno's case...but I think it's for the better that Chaca doesn't seem to remember what being a concubine is..."

"Now hold on...I'm not denying any of what Okita said is true, but....Nobunaga? Didn't you have ...ahem, a number of concubines in your life?"

"W...what? I mean, we did need extra help around the house when I kept bringing back a new adopted child after every campaign but.....wait! You guys are serious?! Is that what people really say about them?! Just how much have people twisted my life around in history books?!"

"....and you lived to fifty years - I'm not sure if this revelation makes you pathetic or condemnable, dear."

"S-shut up! I had other things on my mind , okay?! More important things like uniting a whole country out of a two hundred year civil war! It's not like any of this is important anyways!"

"You literally started this conversation..."

[nobuverse]

@chaldeannemeton : Medusa, sensing the slightest bit of discomfort in her sister: "is that man bothering you, sister? Shall I kill him?"

"Which one? Oh sister, you're going to have to be more precise than that - do you have any idea how many of them leer at me?" she snaps, rather jealously.

Must be reaaally nice - having all that brute strength to swing around and not have to reduce yourself to seducing them.

"Well, if you must do things in such an undignified way- I won't stop you.

"...Unless, of course, you're talking about the peasant Kingslayer in fatigues. I need him to stay alive. We have a domino game to finish."
