Song Rewrites for the Odessa AU

There Are Other Ways

(HOO boy this is gonna be a doozy to change)

[CIRCE]
(She's talking about bribery and such, she's not trying to still seduce Odessa 😑 😂)
There are other ways of persuasion
There are other modes of control
There are other means of deceit
There are other roads to the soul
There are other actions of passion
You have so much left to learn
Want to save your men from the fire?
Show me that you're instead willing to burn, woah

[ODESSA, CIRCE]
Who's to say, with all the mistakes I've made
Don't be afraid
That they will be the last
think of your past
Mistakes I ever make?
So drink then
(Honestly idk what to do to make it seem like Circe isn't trying to seduce Odessa)

[ODESSA & CIRCE]
There is so much power
So much power
But there's no puppets here
(Okay so what I thought of is that at this point, Circe is trying to convince Odessa to drink a love potion (not to make her fall in love with her, ew) so Odessa serves her in exchange for her men's lives. But a love potion, no matter its use, would go against Odessa's feelings...)

[CIRCE, ODYSSEUS]
This is the price
I'm just a girl
We pay for love
There is the line
I'm just a girl
never enough
So much power
So much power
forgive me
But there's no puppet here
(Circe tips a goblet with a red-pink liquid up to Odessa's lips)

[ODESSA, spoken]
(Whips her head away from the goblet with the potion)
I can't

[CIRCE, spoken]
Why? It's not like I'm seducing you or anything.
(Small fourth wall break cause we do that
😎👉🏻👉🏻)

[ODESSA]
I know he's dead, but still I love and grieve
He was my everything, my Polites
And he was all my power, all my power
But it's been 4 long years
(I'm just BSing a time here lol)
Oh, 4 long years since he died that night
And now the God of Tides
is out to end my life
So I beg you, Circe
grant us mercy
And let us puppets leave

[CIRCE, spoken]
Ah, Poseidon, eh?

[CIRCE]
There might be a way to evade him
There might be a way to get home
Though this other way's very dangerous
It might be your one final hope
I know of a brilliant prophet
Problem is this prophet is dead
(YASSS SHORT KING THEATER KID TIRESIAS (you'll see soon enough))
I can't get you home, but I'll get you to the Underworld instead
I'll release your men, and I'll get you to the Underworld instead

[ODESSA, spoken]
Wait, you're helping us?

[CIRCE]
There are many ways of persuasion
There are many modes of control
Maybe showing one act of kindness
Leads to kinder souls down the road
I remember actions of passion
I have been in love once before
Maybe one day, the world will need a puppeteer no more
Or maybe one day, the world will need a puppeteer more

[SOLDIERS]
So much power, so much power
But there's no puppet here
No she's not a player, she's a puppeteer
No she's not a player, she's a puppeteer
Yeah

(So I figured it out (sorta). Please don't ship Odessa with Circe haha ew. Circe was giving the love potion so she could have a capable warrior bound to her side, not because she wanted Odessa to fall in love with her)
