w o a hhhh !!!!!

THIS IS WEIRD

why are the letters yelling

oNE MOMENT PLEASE --

[ He somehow manages to figure out how to swap to video, don't ask how. He clicked things until it worked. ]

Wow! Okay, this is a lot better than that text was. Not sure how that works yet, not sure how this works really, either. Maybe they should offer classes for those of us who want to learn.

[ Like he'd stay awake during them. He yawns, then laughs a little at the thought. ]

So, I'm new and I have one request for everyone who can see this.

Tell me a joke. It can be your favorite one, your best one. Whatever one you're inclined to share.

Oh, and I guess I could use some advice on how to really use this funny little thing.

[ He clearly means his phone, but it just...shuts off right after he asks that. ]

Did you know? A will is a dead giveaway.

Okay, that's a really good one. And I haven't heard it before.

[ There's an amused, lazy laugh to follow. ]

I mean, I haven't heard a lot of jokes anyway, but I still think it's a good one.

[He contemplates staying on text, but decides not to and switches to the video. He's laying on his stomach on his bed, a pillow under his chin.]

I tend to have a morbid sense of humor, or so I've been told. Glad you liked it. I'm Minato. I can help you with the phone. Or tell more jokes. Or both.

It's not morbid. People die. It's so normal everyone does it.

[ Well, mostly. ]

Well, Minato, I'm Hypnos, and I'm sure I can use help with this -- [ hesitates for a moment ] phone.

But I do like jokes, too.

Once I bet a butcher a million dollars that he couldn't reach the cuts of meat on the highest shelf without using a stepladder.

He declined, because the steaks were too high.

Hah! That's pretty good.

I like it.

What is a ghost's favorite fruit? Booberries! (◡‿◡✿)

I love it! Do you know why ghosts don't like the rain?

...Because it dampens their spirits!

[ So he's decided to return the favor. ]

Well, that's a rather grim joke!

I would think they would much rather have something more bootiful!

Alright, I agree. But maybe they just want some spooktacular fun.

Why can’t you explain puns to kleptomaniacs?

They always take things literally.

[A dad joke is still a joke]

[ He loves it. He laughs. ]

I have to say, this one has stolen its place among my favorites.

I can't say I've ever heard jokes like this before.

Excellent, it's what I was aiming for~

Really? That's pity. Where I'm from, they are considered pretty lame if you don't have a sense of the comedic moment.

I appreciate it.

I love a good joke, so do a couple people I've met. But a lot of people in the Underworld are pretty serious about their work.

How can you tell how much a dragon weighs?

Well, they come with scales.

[also a dad joke type, here.]

I love it.

It's ridiculous and love it.

Thank you so much!

Any time. I sadly don't know as many dragon jokes as I would like, alas.

Well, I only know one and it's the one you told. I'm glad to see people here have a sense of humor.

..........

[You know, he could ignore this. He SHOULD ignore this. Everyone was trying really hard to get him to treat this like a forced vacation, and he really cannot do that if Hypnos can see him and know that he was even pretending to relax(he isn't ever actually relaxing).

Would it be more annoying if he hid from him? UGH, probably.]

Great, now all of The House is going to be in shambles when we return. Not that I expected you to keep it all together.

Thanatos! I had no idea you were here, too!

[ To be fair, he also didn't really look to see if Thanatos was here. It's hard for him to not sound totally delighted to see him, though. ]

It hasn't been too long since I last saw you. I think the house will be fine, even though I was definitely keeping it together.

How long have you been here, brother?

It's been a couple of weeks, perhaps a month.

[Not that anyone can tell what time it is in Tartarus. Thanatos goes to the surface enough to know about the passage of time, though.]

Lord Ares must be cross, not that you would be aware of that.

How do you organize a space party?

You planet.

[ He cackles madly at his own stupid joke, before sighing. ]

Anyways! The funny little thingy you currently possess is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. What do you need help with?

[ Listen. Iggy's not a nice guy, but also, he's bored. So he guesses he can help. ]

That's great!

Well...I know nothing about it. I figured out how to turn it on and how to post, and I am no longer using text because I don't like the angry letters.

Definitely gives the wrong impression!

I do have someone offering to help, but I'll accept all help.

Hypnos! When did you get here! Wow, how is the Underworld going to manage without our greeter around?

Zagreus!

[ He definitely lights up because his friend is here! ]

I've not been here very long. I hope they're okay without someone as charming as me greeting people. I could swear it hasn't been that long since I've seen you, though.
