[She sighs, taking a second and giving him an odd look as she tries to gather her thoughts. Nico probably came off more harshly than she intended to. Her tone is softer when she talks again--not soft, just. not her normal level of Slightly Abrasive.]

Look, I'm really not against working with you. Getting projects off the ground, whatever. But I've kind of had enough of cult figure shit, and I know that's not really what you guys do, just-- [She pauses, drawing a hand across her face, tucking some stray hair behind her ear before looking at him again.]

Bottom line, you're a weird dude I know first and a god a super distant second.

Gotcha. [And he fingerguns, perhaps weirdly, right her way -- it's just a fingergun, no godly snapping or fire and whatnot.] No go on the High Priestess thing. But if you know anyone who might be a good fit, pass their name along! I can't be the last in line about this.

[It had seemed so silly when Amaterasu was starting her own church (kind of?) back home. Morrigan had certainly thought it silly. Now, he wasn't so sure.]

I'm good with weird dude first.

You'll be the first to know.

[She nods, letting out a breath.]

Sorry, I know I can be kind of... [surly, bitchy, pick your poison.]

So--I'm probably not equipped to be your solo production crew, but what's the music video.

Nico, no. Don't apologize. [He shows her his palms, trying to reassure her. He's been through so much worse.] I'd hate to corner you in something that you didn't want. Not really my style.

[He wasn't one for prisons, especially not here.]

More setting the atmosphere, really. I'll record the... Voice part separately. Can't be sure if you'd have a reaction to it or not. [A significant look.] It isn't always a fun thing.

[She nods, slowly. The apology wasn't for saying no, just--she feels like she probably came off more rudely than she wanted to, judging from how Baph reacted to the whole thing.]

Actually--look. Punderworld god bullshit aside, it's, what, management plus hype woman? Walk me through it. But before that--

[Better to at least understand what she's saying no to, or at least properly hear him out.]

So two things. First off, what kind of effect are we talking? [They haven't actually talked about what his performances are like, she thinks. She's heard things about Persephone's gigs, she's meant to go, but--] And what atmosphere are you thinking.

It's like -- have you ever felt like a supernova, but instead of exploding outwards, you fold inwards? Imploding? It feels like that, at first. A glow beneath the skin you can't scratch out. But it finds a way, like all our sounds, it finds a way out. It's rebellion, resistance. Reactionary.

[He'd given some thought to this, even if his sample size was small.]

It's niche. Not as universal as Inanna's, maybe. Everyone wants to... Be the person they want to be, right? Self-actualization. I'm not offering self-actualization. So, whatever atmosphere that is.

Almost sounds like you are, in a weird way. [Maybe not as directly as Inanna is, but...hm. She seems to consider this for a moment. Rebellion, a reactionary feeling seeming to grow then explode, the sound seeming to be about finding a way out and pushing back--with Lucifer around, leaning too hard into the overtly rebellion-as-such kind of imagery might not be the way, and Baph seemed to go for a moodier, more indie air.... she kicks her feet, chunky platform boots thudding lightly against the headstone. Finally:]

Hey now, hey now now. [Oh no.]
