The gods get Medusa's head

only part

Poseidon's POV

another boring day on Olympus with arguments flying left and right, across the room and screaming at the person right next to you, I hear Athena's scream at me about blah blah blah Athens blah blah blah Medusa blah blah blah old seaweed. Hermes sighs and picks up his phone, pausing his arguement with Artemis about his most recent prank on her hunters "we've got mail" he says before a ching in heard and a box appears in the room.

Athena narrows her eyes "what is it?" she asks "I have 80000 packages to deliver a day and you think I look through each of them?  No, open it and look for yourself" he says, Athena glares but goes to the box, looks at it,  picks it up and throws it at me. I catch the box and frown "what am I supposed to do with it?" I ask "open it" she says impatiently "why me?" I ask "look at the name dimwit, your son" she says.

All chatter in the room goes quiet as I turn the package over and see it bright as day written on the box, my son sent us a package. I sigh but peel a bit of tape loose and pull the tape off, everyone leaning forward in suspence, as soon as I see what's inside I tilt my head to the side, pulling a bit of the black veil to the side I feel my eyes get big and I shut the box quickly.

Why the Hades would my son send us Medusa'a head? Is he suicidal?! I feel the other gods' curious gezes on me but I stay quiet, not sure if I should be proud or ashamed or angry but then I get an evil little idea "hey Athena, you might want to see this" I say handing her the box, she eyes me suspicously but takes it. I hope this shuts her up about medusa for a while, she opens the package, gasps and shuts it with wide eyes, pale face and mouth hanging open, like a fish out of water.

I laugh and she glares at me whispering "you are so lucky" before handing the packet to Ares who opens it, shuts it and hands it to Hephaestus with no change in expression, guess he's seen worse, god of war. Hephaestus opens it, widens his eyes and shuts it speedily before glaring at Ares and muttering about the "idiocy of mortals and people" and how "automations wouldn't do that", Ares grins at me "your kid's got guts" he comments and I sigh "that may just get him killed" I mutter.

Ares smirks as Hephaestus hands the package to Hera, glaring lightly but that's barely noticable in his deformed expression. Hera takes the package with no hint of care in her expression until she lifts the cover, the lid quickly shuts and she glares at Hephaestus who is too busy building a helicopter out of spares from his over-alls. Hera then glances at Zeus and smiles "here you go honey" she says with a barely controlled malicious tone.

He takes the package arrogantly and opens it before glaring at me "Poseidon! Your son!" he yells before looking around and noticing each one has sent it around and deciding to follow he hands the package to Hades. Who opens the package, gets a small smile on his face and hands it to Demeter who glares at him.

I see my brother Hades' smirk and he has no other reaction, much like Ares. Demeter lets out a small squeal as she sees the extremely ugly head of my ex and shuts it viciously fast "first you steal my daughter and now this?!" she yells outraged and glares at me for a second before tossing the package at Hermes who smirks and passes it to Artemis without opening it.

Artemis opens it bravely and passes it to Aphrodite but not without muttering "only a man" while Ares and Hephaestus glare heavily at Artemis for giving their wife/girlfriend Medusa's head but then they have a glaring competition. Aphrodite squeals and tosses the box into the air rubbing her hands off on her dress and shivering in disgust.

Miraciously it lands on Apollo's lap, open and de-wrapped stood the open head of Medusa, Apollo let's out a scream and throws it at Dionysus who wrinkles his nose but tosses it back at me. Everyone has a different opinion on this

"you're son is trying to kill us!"  (Demeter)

"this could be seen as an act of rebelion"  (Athena)

"how disgusting" (Aphrodite)

" I like your son more and more" (Ares)

"no automation has sent me something like that before" (Hephaestus)

"funny but ew" (Apollo)

"Boys, men, males" (Artemis)

"maybe one day I could play a prank like that, it's creative" (Hermes)

"demigods are not to be trusted or made" (Hera)

"Poseidon!" (Zeus)

"I find this quite amuzing" (Hades)

"must be drunk" (Dionysus)

"Fine I'll send it back...when he needs it" I tell them, none of them seem less...whatever they were but all of them quiet down.
