We shuffle our scripts as we sit at a long oval table carved from white bone and topped with black marble. An amazing piece, especially in a room made of obsidian, bone, opal, and more black marble.
Hades and Persephone sit at the head of the oval table. I'm on Hades' right, and Daji is seated to the right of Persephone. Athena, Sun Wukong, and Erlang Shen are beside her. Loki, Odin, and Thor are next to me. Waverly, Apollo, and Dionysus round out the table.
Persephone has fortified us with glasses of water and either tea, coffee, or pomegranate juice. Snacks in bowls and dishes are arranged around the table within easy reach. Whatever else Hades is, he's not a hard-ass all the time. Or maybe Persephone was responsible.
