[ Joy's recently discovered that she can message literally ANYONE in this world, and she's beyond delighted by the discovery. She wants to talk to everyone! She wants to make them happy! This can only go well.
She's scrolling through all the names, trying to decide who to message first, when she stops on Hypnos's. His username catches her eyes. ]
Do you dream? Do you like it? Does it make you happy? Would you like to dream about this??
[ She sends the blurriest picture anyone has ever taken in the history of photography. It's impossible to tell what it's supposed to be. The picture is mostly green, which is probably plant life, but there's a shadowy blob kind of in the center that could be literally anything. Is it a cryptid???? ]
[ He is deeply amused by the text and the picture. And he's also a bit charmed by it. He can see she's getting used to these devices. He understands that. He's gotten a lot better, but isn't perfect. ]
Well, I can't tell what this is, but sure - assuming it's nice enough.
Dreaming...is complicated, I think. I'm the god of sleep. I like dreams! I dream sometimes. What do you dream about?
I think it is nice, just shy. It ran away after I took a picture of it, anyway. So I am sure it would be a very nice thing to dream about!
[ It was an animal of some kind, and she knows that most people like animals. Plus, it didn't have rows and rows of sharp teeth or anything like that, so...that equals nice, right? ]
You are a god!? Of SLEEP!? That is amazing! I am so glad that you are the one I messaged. But...um...I have never tried to sleep before, so I have never dreamed. I know humans usually like them, though.
[It had been a while since Medusa had travelled out to the Secret Getaway- not since she'd gotten her glasses and been able to see, at least! It certainly did seem different, now, being able to fully appreciate all the spring flowers-
Ah. That wasn't who she expected to see!
Don't mind her quietly approaching wherever Hypnos has settled for a nap.]
...Hypnos?
[She hoped she wasn't going to startle him out of his rest-]
[ He's hard to startle, at least. He blinks his eyes open and recognizes her face. He smiles a little and shifts his position, patting the ground next to him. He's inviting her to join him in nap time. He knows she likes it. ]
I'm not bothered at all. [ He yawns, moving to flop back over, an indication that she can do the same if she wants. He'll still talk, though. Just from the most comfortable position he knows. ]
I've been alright. But it's nice to have company. Well, person company. I spend most of my time with the cats. How are you, my friend?
Mm, cats seem like they would suit you... but yes, I am well. It feels as if things have been a little calmer, recently. That is something of a relief.
Oh, she will. Olympians, ugh. I guess I'll leave that alone.
[ It's not that he actively disliked them, it's just he knew they made things challenging. Always feuding among themselves and causing trouble. He tried to stay out of it. ]
You're free to relax with me anytime. I don't mind.
[A light hiss of his twin brother's name. The twin brother who is, of course, shamelessly draped over him like a lanky plush toy, wrapped in a soft blanket with an eye mask angled haphazardly over his eyes in a way that doesn't quite cover one of them.
The death god's expression goes through a few different, wildly swinging emotions. From annoyance through to something that settles on slightly irritated fondness. He plants a hand against Hypnos' hair and ruffles his fingers through the soft curls.]
[ He typically sleeps really soundly every time he drifts off. But with Thanatos there, he sleeps his best. Lanky limbs tangle around his twin, comfortably burying his head against when he hears his name. Even when he's having the best sleep ever, his brother's voice is also the one that causes him to stir. He shifts, mumbling something incoherent about being woken up. ]
If it were anyone else he would be furious. If it were anyone else they would never get away with it and he would have already vanished. But... this is his brother - his twin brother, no less - and so...]
Next time, you should simply ask if I want to rest with you.
[Which Hypnos probably had, and Thanatos had simply not been listening.]

Oh, hi.
[ A yawn. ]
It's comfy here. So I fell asleep.
no subject
I hope I did not disturb you, then... you have definitely found a nice place for a nap.
...have you been well?

[ Turns his head from flopped back over to look at her. The polite way to talk, of course. ]
It's been nice. I don't mind the quiet.
no subject
[If Medusa recalled correctly, cats were her domain...
Meanwhile, whilst she glanced over to him, her usually sharp eyes settled into a lazier focus as she started to relax.]
...It can be noisy here, so the quiet is nice. I appreciate it, too.

Not again- Hypnos.

Comfy, though.
[ His protest to the idiot, apparently. ]
Sleep more.
