VII. [Video]

[godlyendowment]

[Hercules is shirtless, even sans his normal sash and headgear. He appears to be toweling his hair dry, and the video feed is getting a rather nice shot of his wet and glistening abs. Luckily, that is as low as the feed goes, too. After a moment, Hercules pauses, looking directly into the screen.]

Oh, sorry there, I must have bumped it!

[He laughs, not a bit self-conscious or even embarassed.]

I suppose... You're welcome, ladies.

Comments

[godlyendowment]

Gratuitous, or just tuitous enough?

[itsjustafruit]

Definitely gratuitous, but hey, vanity's not so bad, and if it leads to lust... just don't make me watch.

[godlyendowment]

Vanity is only a sin to the Christians!

[He laughs, because yes, he thinks that funny.]

[itsjustafruit]

Who said anything about sin? I say do what you want and don't worry about silly things like sin.

[godlyendowment]

I only worry about truth and justice.

[itsjustafruit]

[If anything his faint smile gets wider. It's a good reaction to such insipid statements if you don't want people shouting, "What's wrong with you? Only monsters hate truth and justice!"]

And the gym?

[godlyendowment]

This body is mainly built through butt-kicking and godly genetics.

[itsjustafruit]

[Ugh]

What are you, one of those professional wrestlers?

[godlyendowment]

I am Hercules, son of Zeus. Professional hero.

[itsjustafruit]

[The gleam off Herc's teeth might just give Crowley a headache.]

Thus the comment about Christianity. I thought your lot were kind of flexible on the genetics, I mean don't you have an aunt who was a headache?

[godlyendowment]

I was one of the lucky ones.

[itsjustafruit]

What does a professional hero do in the City?

[godlyendowment]

Heroic things!

[itsjustafruit]

[Long on muscle short on brains, eh?]

Such as?

[godlyendowment]

Punching bad guys?

[itsjustafruit]

You find many of those around here?

[godlyendowment]

I work as a bouncer at a vampire bar for money. So yes.

[itsjustafruit]

That doesn't sound very heroic, consorting with creatures of darkness.

[godlyendowment]

Ahhh, but I make sure they don't do dark things.

[itsjustafruit]

It's in their nature to do dark things. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

[godlyendowment]

And what makes you such an expert?

[itsjustafruit]

Long years of observation. I even fund the Witchfinder Army back home.

[godlyendowment]

I don't know what that is, friend. Is it a true army, or a fanclub of somesort?

[itsjustafruit]

It's a real army.

For some reason it attracts a lot of Smiths and Smythes, but it's an army.

[godlyendowment]

An army for what purpose? I am wary of private armies, they always end badly.
