so , @godthread & i were talking while he read round 4 . i never exactly thought of this too deeply myself , but seeing as he writes hades , looking at heracles summoning cerberus from a hades' perspective , i understand now . while heracles' powers draw on his twelve labors , it's ... interesting how he ACTUALLY summons cerberus , quite literally , from an interdimensional portal . cerberus then consumes parts of heracles , body and soul . and they thusly fuse into one being , parts of cerberus either becoming mixed with flesh , or heracles becoming more beastlike . bones , jaws , teeth , eyes , sticking out .

thunder saw this as a literal summoning , and i have to agree . i had thought , perhaps , it was heracles borrowing the essence of cerberus , but having it be literal makes more sense , and also implies ... something far worse . upon the cerberus-fused heracles defeat & death at the hands of jack , this leaves the gates of the underworld unguarded . thunder said that there is nothing left to keep the souls of the dead inside the underworld , let alone out , as well .

heracles dies with cerberus still fused within him ( noted by the bones sticking out , the sharp claws , etc ) . jack doesn't just kill one divine being with his victory , jack technically kills two . not only is it ... heracles more or less stealing hades' pet & guard dog ( however that might've worked in regards to the labors harnessing powers ) , but jack delivered a killing strike towards hades' own hound . yikes . talk about an awful bout for hades to witness .

congrats , everyone , now the dead are going to walk the mortal realm ( at least , those belonging to the grecian pantheon , i presume , we'll see ) .

HER SHOULDERS ARE TENSE. she does not even like the presence of him being around. ( he's way too annoying for her liking. ) her head tilts off to the side, showing her disinterest in him. ❝ what a pain. the dead treat me better than you do. ❞

things i noticed about the official translations compared to fan translations :

jack says "mum" outright as opposed to "mother"

his rather suggestive innuendos are canonical , even ending some of his sentences with a little heart like so ♡ . so , in this regard , it isn't just a mistranslation , but intentional .

“ GOOD GIRL , “ THE THIN MAN rocks gently on his heels , a crimson flourish gathered about his shoulders . swaying , slightly , excited ------ A CHILD'S GAME , was something to liken this to . his cloak made him look far more put-together than he actually was . his father's clothes , ever still . jack smiles , just like a knife . his hands meeting graciously as he watched her . intently . every , tiny motion of hers right in front of his eyes . " see , dear , i didn't poison it . you needn't be so afraid of me , now , should you ? of course not . "

and while she may not spare him another look , it means frightfully little to him . for his own sight was more valuable than any currency . they needn't look upon him . all he'd needed was a single glance . once , a glimmer through a locked keyhole , or stared at from across a busy street , and it would never be enough . the shape of one . the delightful , swirling colors that vexed him , that excited him . believing he'd had a heart again , and life was worth living .

my mother , beautiful ophelia of the streets ... she was in bliss when she'd left this miserable place . i made her that way . so beautiful . you are so beautiful . and i could do the same to you . i could make you happy . so long as you're breathing . your heart is pulsing , and i can hear you running through my veins . a rabbit's form , quick & lithe , fatal mercury & sweet honey .

but he isn't stupid , believe that or not . he isn't as foolish as he appears to be . if you can outsmart the gods , then , how fares one's wits among mortal men ? any the people of earth just your playthings , or were they always such to someone like you ?

" do calm down , madam . " a strained laugh . there's much fun still to be had . " after all , the tea should help with that . " his own hand is surprisingly gentle . perfectly poised , and not a single tremor to be seen , excited though he is . the bowl of sugar scrapes forward , almost achingly so . a grating sound , harsh .

" but , i must ask you ... the curiosities are far too much to bear any longer . whatever do you think i would do to you ? "

Of course I remember you. As a child remembers' its' first fear.

His figure, illuminated by street lamp, the sole thing on that road, aside herself. And even yet, basking in the glow of bulb, something of him was DARK. A hunger, perhaps, in him that could not be satiated. A HUNGER FOR FLESH, FOR BLOOD, FOR LOVE. Eyes are affixed to that teaspoon, ears tuned to the sound that ricochets from CEMENT. NO, this was hardly a place to take a lady, but it was certainly a place to haul a VICTIM.

Sheen of sweat is thin on her brow, as she nods to his query. Memory would not strike his visage from it, down to the last detail. Odd eyes, that crooked smile ... It was all a fright. As actors would be on All Hallow's Eve, yet, this was no coordinated play. He was not going to stop, should she be too frightened, there would be no croon of soothing words.

Rabbit heart races, races, races, YOU'RE IN DANGER, GIRL, but there was no out here. She had such little inkling of where she had been, only following directions that DISGUSTING letter had provided ( something on it was dried and flaked off, and she forced herself to see it as all but blood, ) and here she was now.

Her laughter is a forced bleat as attention finds itself to tea, fingers taking small handle, hesitating, scared. He was going to kill her. He was going to poison her. She was a stupid girl, with stupid tendencies, and it was going to KILL HER.

❝ Y... Yes, of course, thank you. ❞

She deigns to take a sip, brow furrowed. It's, of course, her favorite, but her mind, that PARANOIA, tells her ( all the drink is poison, all the drink is poison, ALL THE DRINK IS POISON!~ ) that it would be the end of her. Cup is settled back at saucer, and hands fold nervously in her lap, head turned as she takes the chance to rip her glance from his figure.
