Hades' Facebook Message

[speakswithdead]

{On October 19 a mysterious Facebook account appears and delivers a message, but not too long after being setup, the account is closed. This is what it said:}

I wanted complete anonymity after the events of my wife's death, but I could not find it in me to ignore those who sent their condolences to me and my daughter after the tragedy. For all those mortals who denigrate, fear, and hate my kind, there are those with true, benevolent spirits, and this was shown to me in my darkest hour. Your well-wishes to my daughter and I have given us hope for the future. For that, I thank you. This will be my one and only message, and I wanted it to be one of goodwill. Those who once lived in the San Francisco area will likely note that my family is no longer there. We're moving to a new place to begin a fresh start. I wish you good people well.

Sincerely,
Hades

[Phone Call]

...Hades? Are... you and Lily all right?

Hello, Dite. We are..managing, thank you.

[venusingucci]

Oh, Hades... I know what it feels like to lose someone close to you... Is there anything I can do for you? Both of you?

[speakswithdead]

Well..I am trying to decide on a place to move to that would give us a degree of privacy from the media. I could use some advice on a good place.

Thinking in your, and her, best interests... I think your best bet is to go somewhere unexpected and try to blend in. Too much isolation might suit you, dear, but I don't think it's in Lily's best interests. You need to be able to support her, ensure she receives a good education, is able to blossom mentally, emotionally and socially...

Unless you've been manifesting some of your Plutonian aspects recently, I'm sure you still need stable employment. And darling, yours is a line of work where your reputation means everything.

...do you still have your helmet?

..You're right, I know you are. It's just that a certain..spark seems to have gone out in Lily since Persephonme died, and I'm reluctant to have her out among people again so soon. Then again, the last thing I want is for her to grow up to be a cynic like me.

I do.
