Do you really think you can defeat your brother, after all he is the one who banished you to the Underworld in the first place
I don’t need reminding that Zeus is the source of my misfortunes. But yes. With Zelena at my side and the Dark One’s dagger and the Olympian Crystal in my hands, I can and will destroy my brother.
And when I do, I will be king of Olympus instead of a decaying Underworld, and Zelena will rule at my side as the goddess she was always meant to be.
I only want it if i can have it with you, Zelena.
You’ll… you’ll let Regina and her merry band of do-gooders be? Because I’m so tired of living my life according to my sister. I want a life, a family of my own.
Regina was never a priority to me, except for you. There was a time when I thought we could seize her kingdom and rule it together, but that was an old plan, before I had the power to challenge my brother. I still have unfinished business with him, and I know all about unfinished business, but I will gladly leave it to you to decide how to deal with your sister. All of Storybrooke is yours to decide its fate, and the fate of all of the little petty lives of the people who live there.
You have a life and a family all your own, and someone who loves you.
Rumplestiltskin, here you go. One exit strategy. I hope you are pleased with your end of the bargain.
Because I certainly am.
The portal… it’s open. I don’t know where it leads, but if it gets me out of here, then I’m one step closer to Eric.
Alright, Dark One, it’s time to hold up your end of our bargain.
(OOC: Continued from here because @askwickedz and I are both having trouble cutting posts.)
My banishment is over. Will you come with me, Zelena? Our kingdom awaits.
Our kingdom? What do you mean by that?
Let your sister keep her paltry kingdom in Maine. With the power of the dagger, I will finally be able to face my brother for his betrayal. We can seize Olympus together. You can be more than a queen. Come rule Olympus at my side, Zelena, as the goddess you were always meant to be.
I… I just want to be happy with you, Hades. If this is what you want, then I’ll be by your side.
I only want it if i can have it with you, Zelena.

AU: I know about the deal.
So? It’s a good deal all around. It gets me what I want. It gets you to safety. Why should I care if you know that?
And why are the people looking after you letting you come talk to the god of death?
How noble, I’m sure. Don’t worry, if you are really so keen on settling in here, just keep that attitude and I’m sure someone will arrange for a return trip.

@asktallahasseebae might have a thing or two to say about that. So might your mothers, both of them. Do they know you are here? Does they know you are threatening the god of death with… heroics?Why do people who don’t notice you are here threatening me have the gall to tell Zelena that I’m an unfit babysitter?
Just out of curiosity, what is your plan? Running me through? I mean, if you want to try…

How? By flopping to the ground like a two year old throwing a tantrum and refusing to move? Because the terms of the deal include me not harming you, but I doubt very much that even your dear granddad will object to me dragging you to the portal and throwing you through it myself.
I’m thirteen not a little kid and I’ve picked up a thing or two from my family.

AU: Have you proposed to Zelena yet? Your relationship is so romantic.
That’s… sweet. But @askwickedz and I haven’t even kissed yet. Perhaps some day, but I think we can take it one step at a time, don’t you?
Although I do have a plan in motion that could let her rule Olympus as a goddess by my side, so…
We seem to have a few supporters.
And I agree with you. One step at a time. But perhaps.. I think I might be ready to take that next step with you. If you like…
You mean...? I had hoped... please don’t tell the pirate.
I can’t touch themmost of them. But I can certainly hurt you.
You don’t seem frightened of pain. No matter. I can fix that if I cause enough of it. I even managed to get your dear captain to scream eventually. But perhaps more important to you right this moment, I can make sure you never see your loved ones again, not in the realm or any other.
Am I correct in assuming you mean to toss me in the river? But where is the fun in that for you? It’s not as though I relish the idea of pain, mind you, you just seem the sort who would prolong it when you’re able.
And how is it I warrant a fate worse than that of my ex husband? I realize he has power to offer you, but I also know he was stupid enough to try to make threats against someone you obviously care for. I’d meant what I said. Had I intended to hurt your dog, the eye wouldn’t have been where I would aim. Is he alright?
And you know what–that’s another thing. Hope. Do you know why I hadn’t dared for so long? Because nothing hurts more than hope. This is twice now I’d dared to do it, believed I would finally be free of a former life to be with one I love only to have it torn away. I was actually pleased with it being contraband.
I’m not tossing you in the river immediately. I’ll be bored and angry if things don’t go as planned. And your ex husband is none of your concern. He is part of a larger plan taking shape and will get everything coming to him in due time.
As for hope, if you truly believed that, you shouldn’t have helped those heroes spread so much of it. You could have saved yourself a lot of pain.
Which will have to wait a little longer, because I have other matter to attend to.
Do you recognize this place, @ask-milahthepiratequeen? You should. You rescued your pirate from this cell. And now you are taking his place. Fitting.
You know, I really thought you had learned some respect centuries ago. I didn’t think you would be susceptible to this hope your pirate has been trying to spread. But the thing is, that’s not even why you are here. That’s not why I am going to hurt you.
You are here because you are an example of the end result of all that hope. You think I failed to notice the petty new laws? The leash laws and the rest? I noticed that they were all carefully calculated to get in my way. And then, to make matters worse, you openly defy me. You blind my dog in one eye. You try to help the dead escape to the surface with no payment made in return. I won’t tolerate any of that.
And do you know the best part? No one is coming for you. Your new sweetheart is sailing away to a better place and your old love thinks you’ve moved on. You belong to me and no one is left to fight for you.
–and when I’m done I will–
Oh. This place. It’s cozy. Open a few windows, I’ve lived in worse.
Is that why I’m here? I was doing the job you demanded I take. I sorted through decades of suggested laws and applied some more…interesting flair. I thought you of all people would appreciate the irony of Lord Hades, master of all, unable to go anywhere without a collar around his neck and a leash in Sir Blinky the Cylclops Head. If I wanted to hurt your dog, I would’ve aimed for the heart.
You’re right…there is no one left, not a soul knows where I am. It feels so devastatingly…
…wonderful to know you cannot touch them.
I can’t touch them most of them. But I can certainly hurt you.

asktheoriginalliam:
OOC: For the sake of brevity, and because so many of the characters involved don’t have rp accounts, this is the brief account of Liam’s attempt to move on with Milah, until it get’s interupted. I ran it by Milah’s mun to get her approval Milah’s actions. It isn’t all that complicated, really.
Liam, with Milah at his side, confessed what he had done to them. Milah had to (got to?) punch Silver to keep him from getting ideas of how to react to the news. Liam would have allowed him to come along, but Milah informed him in no uncertain terms that, since he purchased two kids, his unfinished business probably ran a lot deeper than the secret of how he died, so he wasn’t invited to join them and would have to find his own way. Liam, Milah, and the rest of the crew, minus Silver, head down to the cave where most people move on, where a boat is waiting to take them to the other side. Which brings us to:
Let’s go home, Milah.
Do you smell that? The salt air of the sea? It’s just as I remember.
Let’s go, love. Eternity awaits.
Or not.
Don’t mind me. You gave me such a perfect entrance there, I really couldn’t help myself. I should probably thank you for that.
Unfortunately for you, we still have unfinished business. And no, I don’t mean with your husband, or lover, or child, or whatever petty drama you had lingering from your life before. No. You nearly blinded on of my dog’s heads. The captain is... unfortunately... free to go. But you are staying here in the Underworld. But I’m glad you like water so much. It might make your eternity easier to bear.
AU: I know about the deal.
So? It’s a good deal all around. It gets me what I want. It gets you to safety. Why should I care if you know that?
And why are the people looking after you letting you come talk to the god of death?
And how, exactly, does one child plan on stopping a deal between the Dark One and a god?
By doing whatever I have to even if that means I have to stay here so that my family is safe.
How? By flopping to the ground like a two year old throwing a tantrum and refusing to move? Because the terms of the deal include me not harming you, but I doubt very much that even your dear granddad will object to me dragging you to the portal and throwing you through it myself.
