Oh, absolutely. Imagine being an immortal man that's put inside a barrel and thrown into the Hudson River. [ he nods. ] That's worse than death for sure.

[ Nodnod. ]

A punishment arguably worse even than Prometheus and the eagle - after all Prometheus still has company, even if it is chewing at his liver.

...

[ wait a fucking second-- ]

Do you think that counts as a dinner date?

[imitationsoul]

[ Miach blinks... Flat is the only person in her life who would ask this kind of question and throw her totally off-track. ]

That would depend on their feelings about it, no? What turns eating together into a date is the emotional attitude of the participants. After a sufficient amount of time chained alone to a rock, I am sure Prometheus welcomes the eagle at the least.

Could that be like a variation of Stockholm's Syndrome, then?

[ these are the deep philosophical questions that these kids are having. ]

While the real captor is Hades, the eagle is the one that punishes him. It could become a beautiful connection, I think.
