Athena/Cordelia & Anteros/Linus :: Just a regular day at work
Who: Athena/Cordelia & Anteros/Linus
What: True Identities are revealed on the set of a movie.
Where: Filming in Plaka
When: Late Afternoon, December 12
Rating: TBD
Status: In Progress

Linus shoved his phone in his pocket hoping the directions he had given Cordelia were good, otherwise she'd be lost, and he'd be bored still. Today was a pretty laid back day, but Linus couldn't leave and the shoot seemed to drag on forever. He blamed it on the A-List actress getting drunk the previous night and showing up to work with a hangover.

He stepped away from the where his director was screaming at that horrible woman onto the street. He figured she'd be coming from this way, since there were no other streets. Already twenty minutes had passed since he texted Cordelia the directions so he expected her anytime now. He reached down into his messenger bag moving the journal out of the way so that he could dig out his camera. That reminded him.. he had to remember to show the journal to her. With his camera in hand he scanned the side walks on either side of the street.

Finally he saw a familiar head of blonde hair walking his way. He quickly lifted his camera to eye level running to where she was to get some footage of her, she was undeniably beautiful, and a part of Greece he wanted to take home with him. "I almost thought you weren't going to come.. what took you so long?" He teased her, his camera recording. "Have you ever been to a movie set before Cordelia, you can see hung over actresses, and a pissy crew. It's really fascinating."

Cordelia was a bit nervous about going to the movie set, mostly since she wondered how she compared to the actresses. It made her felt extremely insignificant, seeing how she was just working in a bookstore. Oh well, Linus had invited her, and she was going to see him, not compare herself to actresses.

Upon seeing Linus, Cordelia could not help but grin. There was just something about his presence that made everything in the world seem perfect...even if she had only seen him once before. She ran over to him.

"Sorry, I get lost no matter how good the directions are, it's this sort of problem I have," she laughed softly and crossed her arms, fighting off the urge to take his hand.

"Can't say I have. Even back when I had acting as one of the many majors that I took on and tired of after two semesters, I mostly stuck only to the stage."

He lowered his camera after she responded shoving it back into his bag. He'd record more later. He took one of her hands, grinning like a little girl. "It will be boring today.." He explained as he walked her down the sidewalk towards the shoot. "But there is a buffet table with lots of sandwiches and donuts and stuff, I always like to hang out there when I'm not needed."

He stopped a few feet from behind the directors seat. "That guy with the hat on next to that girl is the director.." He pointed and then shook his head. "She's not doing very good today, or yesterday, or the day before." He wondered if Cordelia would recognize the actress. She was pretty famous, more for scandals, than her work. "It's sad.. when she isn't acting like a jackass she's really good." He shook his head again. He rarely said anything bad about people in that way, especially girls, but this actress was beyond him.

He walked a few feet from where he was grabbing another chair, sitting it next to the one he was using. He offered it to Cordelia before taking a seat. "So when our director isn't arguing with her, I usually do a lot of grunt work, but it's alright, because he always asks for my opinions, and I get to be apart of the cutting and all that, it's not so bad." He said with a small laugh.

He bounced in his seat a bit, worried that he would be called to do some work. "I want to show you something, but I have a feeling you're going to think I'm nuts, but thats okay most people do anyway."

He really had the ability to make her blush, even with a gesture as simple as taking her hand. Of course, she wondered just how many other girls he took to see the movie set and other such things, but something about him did seem oddly genuine, which is part of why she had come to see him again, even if he had not texted her for a few days after meeting.

Cordelia looked towards the director and the actress. It was weird to see that actress in person, she looked so normal.

"I've liked a good deal of her movies, but I imagine she would be hard to work with given her reputation."

She sat down and looked up at him, "I hardly doubt that I'll think you've gone mad. You forget that I've experienced some odd things since I've been here too."

(OOC: Sorry that response took so long; got caught-up in the holidays.)

A bright smile stretched across his face. He was thrilled to be able to show her this journal, maybe she would even be excited, and then they could start a huge adventure/investigation to uncover it's mysteries. He wouldn't have much time to do that, but it would be fun.

"Alright, before I show it I'll give you some back story. The other week I met this postman, this British dude. He looked like an angel, but his name was Damien." He shook his head and sighed a bit, he really was a good looking man, what a cocky bastard. "Anyway, I thought he sent me this journal to be a dick, cause it was used, but then I find not only can he write back to me through this journal, but so can a whole slew of other people. Then this one dude was like trying to tell me who I was, then some one else was like out of their mind but in the good way, you know like for horror movies." He took in a long breath and pulled the journal from his bag handing it to Cordelia, as soon as it had touched the others hand he pulled it back.

"Wait.. you think that maybe it's blank now cause I told you about it." He said with more excitement than concern. He threw the pages back, a little relieved it was still there. "I haven't read any of the stuff before what I wrote, don't have the patience.." but maybe he should now, that was a lot of pages though..He handed the journal back to Cordelia. "Just tell me what you think about it."

Oddly enough, Cordelia had been expecting this. She had not even known just why she had been expecting it, especially since when she asked the question in her journal to see if he was out there, only 'Anteros' had responded.

She just smiled at she took the journal and looked down at the cover. Αντέρως. She felt as though the wind had been knocked out of her, but in a way that she was not sure if it was by pleasant surprise or by shock. She handed the journal back to him, her eyes wide and her face pale, though she was smiling.

"Athena. I, we..I was just talking to you the other day! I asked about you, you played...I'm Athena, I told you, and I figured out your name, and there was the ocean and there was a war and we were going to be alright..."

She was rambling, surprised by the words she was saying. It was as if she was remembering things from that life, but those stories were not in the myths anywhere. It made no sense, yet it seemed more true than anything she had read about the goddess that she apparently was.

Had a ton of bricks just smacked him in the gut? Or was his mind telling him things that weren't true? His imagination had gotten carried away before . . .

He flipped quickly to the part of the journal where that conversation took place. He stared at the page for a few moments and then looked up at her. "This-You're-" He looked down again. "Wait you- I was talking to you." This made things a whole lot more exciting! Truthfully he was going to lie and say he was Zeus, because he had at least heard of him and he was a king and all. Linus felt like a bit of an ass though, he had been rather rude mostly because he thought it was a conspiracy.

"You know . . . I"m sorry, I thought this was all from this post man who I met the other day, and he was tricking me- . . ." He paused for a second as a thought crossed his mind. "You know he wrote back to me in this journal . . ." He wondered now if he had met more people. "I wonder who he really is."

Now maybe that explained all of those dreams about flying and shooting stuff, or killing people. "I remember in the book store you said something about my name being a son of Apollo, and he killed him for being better or something-," He shook his head. "I mean the point, did you know you were Athena? Or did you get your journal a year ago or something and research? You DO have a journal right?" Now he was just going off.

Cordelia could hardly focus on what he was saying. It seemed so right that he was Anteros, even if there were not any myths about the two of them ever speaking to one another, let alone having any sort of romantic involvement, which seemed to be the case. She should have been mad at him for how he had responded when she wrote, but instead, it just seemed so...typically him.

"I have always had a feeling. Ever since I first learned about the Greek myths when I was fifteen, I was oddly drawn to things about Athena. I always brushed it off as coincidence, since none of this seems logical. I'm still struggling with it. And yes, I have a journal."

She moved in closer to him once more and placed her hand on his again, "There aren't any myths about Athena and Anteros, but I still cannot help but think they...we...were close, for some reason."

He looked down at her hand on his, normally he would have been freaking out over the current situation, not able to believe what they had just discovered together. It was too weird to begin with, and the last thing he would have thought of. Finally with his attention back on her he turned over his hand and held hers squeezing it gently, his thumb grazing the top. "I think, even if they weren't close," they because maybe he couldn't yet identify himself as Anteros, "there is no reason we can't be." But even as he said this the we being Athena and Anteros started to explain the unusual pull he had toward her from their first meeting.

If she was having memories come back to her, which it sounded like she was maybe he would too soon feel the same. "Why do you think we are here, or I don't know reborn?" He never felt silly for asking a silly question, so at least that was easy. "Unless there is no reason, but we are raised to believe in something completely different," Oh yeah! Now what about his Jewish faith, everything he ever learned, did it mean that was a lie? Not that he ever considered himself a devout practitioner or anything. . .
