Hades watches this all with stupefied annoyance, but he's not about to criticize it. It isn't like he doesn't put the Yamask to his won mundane tasks that he doesn't feel like doing, so little should he become a hypocrite. Instead, after a lingering flat stare at the whole ordeal, he turns back to his audience.
"...Right then." He shakes his head with a slight roll of his eyes, "as I was saying, Calliope is the one standing in opposition of Dirk and his designs. There is far more about her than merely a name, and that she shares a similar ability to alter the course of reality, but she is scant the focus here." In fact, the focus was the cultural significance of whether or not Steven or Dirk would be the better source for the information about this so-called 'gay scene'.
"At the root of it all is an Ouroboros-like game of sorts that both brings about the end of worlds as well as the creation of such. It is indeed referred to as the simplistic moniker 'The Game', but it is scant so simple," he pauses a moment to finish off his juice, "Dirk's reality can be affected by something akin to coding, as if the universe itself is a machine, yet it is not one. Not really. Regardless, when one runs the specified coding for such an ominous game, it sets off the necessary mechanism to spur the progression of their very own Final Days."
For a moment, Hades' expression goes a little grim, but in an instant it's gone, continuing on as if he was not afflicted by the thought at all.
"Needless to say, Dirk and his companions whom of which suffered through such a malignant game came out victorious, which then earned them their own fresh new universe, one in which they would serve as gods for. However, this was ere his true and proper ascension to Godhood, just to be clear. While he and his became gods after a fashion, it was not through their trials and tribulations with this sadistic situation they were made to weather, that Dirk rose to such power, though it did make such possible."
Raising his hands to gesticulate as he talks, he continues, "rather, they were given the chance to facilitate the development of a new world, to become the stewards of this fresh reality. To guide it to peace and prosperity—not unlike what we had sought to do with our own after the Final Days..."
He breathes out a soft breath, a small pause for himself and Hythlodaeus.
"Which brings me back to my point. Young though Dirk may be, he has far better qualifications to inform us of the cultural significance of such terminology and its history, than someone as daft as Steven. Both is he familiar with the society that Steven existed within as well as what came before and after from an unbiased standpoint, but likewise was he the cultivator of mortal civilization in his own reality."
