Venus and Edie, round 1.

[shewent]

Being dead wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

Hell wasn't as bad as they said.

Heaven wasn't as good.

And who the hell predicted that you could just go from one to the other like walking down to the trashy 7-11 on the corner.

Though the 7-11 has way better beer.

Edie flopped back on the worn couch, looking through her lowered lashes as those meandering around her parts. A hodge podge of mediocrity if she'd ever seen one.

Maybe this really was just hell. Maybe hell wasn't something that seemed awful at first, but just the eternity of boring weighing you down day after day for all eternity. Like some fucked up Twilight Zone episode you could never really get out of.

Shit, this was getting to heavy. Pushing herself up, she dusted off her butt, before calling out to whomever was near that she was going for a walk. She doubted they cared much, but it just felt weird not to let someone know.

"I feel like God'll forgive us." Some part of her is endlessly entertained by the idea of punching her way through heaven, too. Or purgatory. The afterlife, painfully boring until now, and part of Venus just wants to stretch this fight out forever because it'll be a change of pace.

"Can you still teleport?" she asks Edie, energy and plasma starting to glow around her own hands and shoulders. "Let's send this lizard back to Tokyo."

"Gods gonna owe us one. Let's find out."

Around here, walking was at least something to do, and maybe she'd gotten a little fat and lazy with her powers. Maybe.

She laid her hand on Venus, not entirely sure what to expect. At not entirely sure what she was feeling once she did. It was like the warmth of something far to hot through an ovenmit, but way hotter, and at the same time far more toned down under her own flesh.

She closed her eyes, reached for that pull inside of her, and suddenly they were on the crest of Godzilla's head, and the sway of the beast tromping around made it hard to tell what parts of the world swaying around her was lightheadedness and she had to grab on to one of the hard ridges decorating Godzilla's head to steady herself.

"Watch your feet!" Venus lands between Godzilla's eyes, sliding a bit on scales that seem far too rough to be as slick as they are. Her foot goes out from under her and just like that, she's on her butt in a less-than-graceful slip. Guess she's a bit rusty, too.

"Can you poke his- can you get his eye? I can't teleport something this big-"

Well, she probably could, but she won't, because she's not looking to die again so soon.
