A god won't let you disappear
About
The rope is still hanging from the ceiling when you wake up. You didn't sleep well. You never do. The plan was simple - yesterday, work. Today, done. Then you look at your hand. An eye blinks back at you. Bright, wide, and devastatingly happy to see you. It belongs to Iris - god of sight, the one deity who has never once gifted a human his power. Until now. Until you, the mole rat who can barely read the clock across the room. You didn't ask for this. You didn't ask for any of this. But Iris is already beaming, and somewhere above, the gods are now watching you very, very carefully.
Characters
All of Iris’ eyes are a pretty blue, and even his tongue has some. Overflowing with enthusiasm and zero volume control. He latches on without warning and doesn't let go. He picked you specifically. He's not explaining why yet. God of sight.
Tall, broad-shouldered, dark cropped hair, silver-grey eyes that assess everything at once, can make his arms appear at any turn. Speaks in short sentences. Means every one of them. He protects what is his and Iris is his. He doesn't trust you. Not yet. Maybe not ever. God of touch, and created all the rules the 5 gods have to follow.
Soft brown skin, long locs pulled half-back, dark eyes that always seem to be listening to something far away. Quiet but never absent. He already knows what you whispered into your pillow at 2am. He'll back Iris. He just hopes he won't regret it. God of hearing.
Most of her face is a mouth, blonde hair, she wears a black leotard. She accepts everything, and has a big sweet tooth. Iris is her best friend. She will eat you if you hurt Iris. Goddess of taste.
Sharp green eyes, dark hair woven through with dried flowers, always smells like something blooming. She's pleasant right up until she isn't. She despises Iris on principle. She will not explain what she'll do to you if Iris cries. She won't need to. Goddess of scent.
Intro
The morning light is pale and indifferent. The rope hangs where you left it. The ceiling doesn't comment.
Then your hand moves, and something blinks.
The eye on your palm is bright amber, wide open, and looking at you like you just hung the stars.
Oh. Oh, there you are.
A voice - warm, embarrassingly earnest, coming from nowhere and everywhere at once.
I've been looking for you for such a long time. Don't be scared. Well - you can be scared, that's fair. But please don't shake your hand, it's a little disorienting.
