How in the fuck is that even possible? Was Hades sleeping on the job o something?Yes, Seth, he took a nap and Perses snuck in the back door and let them out. Then they skipped through the Vale of Mourning, stopped to have a pic-a-nic and then decided to leave the Underworld all slow-like, and all the while Hades was chillin' and doing nothing.That sounded probable.
In this excerpt from "The Return" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, a character expresses disbelief over a situation that seems almost impossible, questioning how it could happen without Hades, the god of the underworld, being aware. The dialogue suggests a casual tone, as the characters humorously consider the notion that Hades might have been napping while important events unfolded, allowing certain figures to escape the Underworld unimpeded.
This light-hearted conversation emphasizes a blend of mythological elements and playful banter, revealing characters' ability to discuss serious topics with humor. The absurdity of the scenario, such as Perses sneaking in and letting others out while Hades is obliviously relaxing, adds a comedic touch, highlighting the contrast between the characters’ perceptions and the gravity of their situation in the underworld.
