@imarahuyo replied ; what if i have MANY questions ?
Submerged by his own desperate attempts to scratch at the corners of his mind for answers, (or well, in this case, a single answer that could work as a one-way trick) Jason begins to vaguely motion circles and different incomprehensible shapes with his hand; sweat dropping from his forehead like a waterfall as he attempted to buy himself more time for a sort of miraculous intervention to lift him up from his self-made problem.
❝ No, no! those are just TOO many questions, it will simply not do, put down some of them ! you have to focus on only some or you’ll forget everything alltogeth― ❞ and as he is about to turn around to address the matter, his body immediately freezes once his eyes meet the owner of the voice ringing behind his back, and the odd feeling that was running down his spine a couple of seconds ago finally confirms its suspicions-
GH―
❝ GYHAAAAAA!!! S-S-S-S―SIREN!!?!? ORPHEUUUUUUS!!? ORPHEUS !! THE LYREEEE!!! ❞ No, WAIT! where were her wings and talons !? this siren was... this siren was completely bald !! there was none of that on her !! but why did her presence remind him so much of the ones he encountered in one of his travels !? damn it! he just had to turn his back around didn’t he? quickly does he takes a couple of steps backwards like a crab, his eyes still wide open and following the woman in front of him, almost as if in fear that if he were to turn around for a single second, she would certainly and immediately creep up to him and devour his intestines or something along the lines- the posibilities were endless! with his back pressed against the wooden mainmast of his ship, his body almost curves around it all the meanwhile he attempts to quickly search for some ropes on the ground, his gaze shifting from the ground back to the woman every 2 seconds in panic as he waves his right arm forward, almost as if attempting to magically make her vanish like smoke or move her away with his mind.
❝ Don’t even think about it! y-y-y-you stay right there!! I’m LOOKING at you!! ❞
#imarahuyo#;j.ason#him and his crew didnt do the whole -gets tied to the mainmast of the ship- but since he's a s.ervant; surely he heard of od.ysseus's trick#s.irens and m.ermaids are not the same but during his time the notion of m.ermaid did not really exist and the 'closest' were sirens#which the argonauts (his crew) did encounter once!#for context; amongst the a.rgonauts there was o.rpheus who played his music which drowned the siren's songs#and thats how they managed to get past them#a funny lil thing i didnt know is that despite their popularity;; sirens are only mentioned twice in greek stories (As far as what we have)#first with the argonauts and then with odysseus in the odyssey#anyways he's panicking;;#J.ASON: T-POSING FROM (VERY) FAR AT SEN#IM LOOKING AT YOU!!!
