It's too bad this war has to get all the attention. I'd start my own if I could.

Horsemen and archangels in holy matrimony, who would have thought?

Being crippled at the knee is exceedingly unfortunate.

Morticia, speak up.

And you are where?

I am in some serious need of cocoa with marshmallows. Also cookies. Also also...nachos. Uggghhh. This is all Mary's fault with her talk of pizza and cheesecake. Samyazaaaaaaaaa come make me foooooood. Please? Pretty please? I will pout until you do I'm sleepyyy.

I'll make you dinner sometime to make up for it, okay?

For the record, if and when we go back, I'm going to have a lot of pizza. I miss New Yorker pizza. And New York cheesecake. And Nathan's Famous hot dogs. And bagels.

Oh hell, I'm starving again.

I don't know what you're doing or where you are or very much else like if you are even alive. But if and when this ridiculous war ends, you can come it's fine if you I don't care if the childr I give you permission to come back and stay here for however long you like. I won't be a horrible person about it even if you're a horrible person about everything. Although you used to be better so I imagine you have a soul somewhere. Or maybe you just strangled it and left it to die somewhere when you knew who you were.

I suppose if you are reading this that it would be nice for Mordred and the rest of your family if you also don't die. So don't. They'd appreciate that, I'm sure. So be considerate of someone for once.

Where are you?

You had a kid with my wife. YOU. Also, Troilus is supposed to hate me. We are not supposed to be brothers and I am not supposed to be worried about the fact that I haven't heard from him but I am.

Knowing doesn't make anything easier or less terrifying. I don't want to wake up back home and miss a kid that wasn't mine and women who never loved me

This place is a load of fucking bullshit. Married to Athena. It couldn't even be a sibling I can tolerate? Or one who is fun to pick on? Forced to sneak around with the woman I actually love because of some fucked up family duty. Bullfuckingshit. I am done with that

At least there is a war going on. War I can do. Maybe she'll get lucky and I'll make her a widow.

I am sorry for what I did to you.

Stay away from the Niflheimians unless you are one. I have long since ceased to trust them but I have no way out at this time. War comes in many shapes and forms but I took the best of warriors into my halls. Those who understood what it meant to fight and die in the glory of real battle. I wouldn't pick any of these people to sit in my halls and drink my beer.

This isn't war if you butcher those who can't even defend themselves. It isn't war if the other side didn't know it was coming. This filth they have dragged Niflheim through is crime. And if they do not even care about that, they are little more than thugs and barbarians who are not fit to viewed in pleasing light.

[Filter: Aeneas]

It was lovely, wasn't it? ♥

[Filter: Hector]

Do you think when I was queen that I would have allowed such needless tactics as the Niflheimians have? I worry for what may still come. I worry that no one will stop these dishonourable people. Even of those they slaughter do not truly exist, they are disgracing themselves with these moves. And they may kill those we know.

Guard yourself. Protect yourselves and do what you can for others, dearest man.

I miss my Luca. Sadfaceeee.

My feelings haven't changed. I still love you, Raven.

[ filter; hyacinth ]
Thanks for everything. I hope we weren't much trouble.

[ filter; hera and zeus* ]
Are you here, too?



[ ooc: aware they are not in game~ ]

Someone had better explain why we are suddenly a host to soldiers who aren't behaving in a very soldier-like manner.

[Filter: Babylonians]

Those Niflheimians are unpredictable. Ally with the more powerful countries immediately. Corner and massacre them. If they are not whipped into obedience, we will be razed to the fucking ground. We need power and cunning.

We must do something now that something appears to be wrong with the soldiers. They don't quite seem drunk but they do appear drugged in some manner. This is luck and we must take advantage of it to show this world that we are not their doormat.

I'm thankful, that even though this is all crazy and strange, I found myself surrounded by friends and good people.

[There was a quiet unease settling over her, something telling her that something was missing, but she couldn't have said what it was. Nothing seemed amiss. Her boys were there. Perhaps it was just that she was more aware of Hebe being gone. Yes, maybe that was it, but she couldn't have said for sure. Maybe it was the loss of two people she'd treated like her own children even if they weren't. She was too young to really be their mother. Frowning, she'd dressed the boys and taken them for a walk in the fields, avoiding anywhere where frogs could be lurking. She wasn't going to have any frogs in the house again.

She smiled as they ran off around the yard in front of her, but there was still something not quite right and she didn't like that she was nearly forcing her smiles. All the same, the boys seemed none the wiser. That would have to be enough.]

Thank heavens for easily amused children. Oh, dear. They've gotten the sticks again Until they start trying to sword fight each other. Which only turns into beating the ground with sticks in the end. At least I don't think I'll end up with frogs in the house again.

I may have remembered myself, but here I have a duty. I will not forget it. This region is still my region. My duty will not be abandoned because of my memories.

I don't know if this shit is permanent or not, but even if it isn't, I'm still fighting. I don't give a fuck about civilians or soldiers or who dies, as long as I'm the one who walks out alive. But if I die, take care of

And don't say a goddamn thing about my marriage.

At least I'm not fighting that dumbass war. I'm counting my blessings.

[Enough time had passed that the opium was out of his system. It had been for a little while, though, but he'd been avoiding people. He didn't want to talk to anyone and he didn't care if they were annoyed by the fact that his door was locked. It was all in the name of getting his emotions in check and back under his control. It wasn't until then that he picked up his journal.]

[Filter: Leyla]
This is as you wished. I am fine. There will be no need for worrying. If you need to complain about some need for worrying that you have, then I think you should get it over with so it is out of the way. Oui?

[Filter: Pasithea]
I do not... There is really no correct thing to say... Ah

I...would ask how you are doing, but I believe I know the answer. Is there anything I can do? This is the trouble with emotions...You still feel obligated to check on people

Oh. For the record, being related to Aphrodite is up there on my list of top ten 'DO NOT WANT EVER AGAIN'. Sorry, Aeneas. Just getting that out of the way.

I HATE ALL YOUR MOTHERFUCKERS. Just so we have this out of the way AND WHERE IS MY GODDAMN HUSBAND THAT I DID NOT ASK FOR? ATHENA? ATHENA, WHERE ARE YOU?


Also, is my niece really dead? Fuck. Her parents are going to flip their shit. Maud, MAUD? WHERE ARE YOU? MAGICALLY HEAR ME, MAUD. MAUD. MAUD. MAUD. MAUD.

What, no, I haven't heard of the telephone, FUCK YOU.

[Filter: Eve]

Our sister, whoever she was, is dead. It's likely she wasn't anyone at all, though. We'll know if we ever return. In any case, I'm sure you must have heard by now.

I'll be home to deal with you soon. Don't move.

[Filter: Private]

And maybe I'll let you know who I am then. Perhaps as I pin you down and take away everything that makes you wrong. And Adam, will Adam see you so docile and submissive then? So perfect to put under him and treat like a second-class thing?

I'll ruin you, Eve. I'll drag you into hell and have you remold in the horror and filth all demons come to adore and treasure. And what will your precious fucking husband think then?

[Filter: Public]

And life goes on, it seems.

Can someone here in the Camelotian castle please do something about that little servant? My nerves are being grated here. I rather not have to go on poor terms. Presumptuous of me and I do not care but I imagine if we might actually be stuck here longer than we all would like that we better play nice still with the other regions and whatnot. Rulers are still rulers and servants are still servants.

As if I care. I just want to see him annoyed.

This again. I want to go back to the graveyards. At least that made sense If this were surprising, I'd be surprised...but it isn't. If you don't count being Sultan. That's surprising. That's the most surprising thing that's ever happened. No. Second most surprising. I think Helen is the most surprising. Well, this is awkward

At least...the being fucked around part isn't surprising. Now what?

So, here's a question: you get married in one place, then you wake up and realize the whole thing was never real to begin with. Do you carry on? Do you keep loving that person, or do you pack up your bags and say sayonara?

Oh.

[ The memories came as he was feeding the cat. An awkward time for memories to come flooding back, but rather than seeing his scraggly stray, he saw the black ball of fluff that was Gaunt. Gaunt, his cat. He had a dog, too -- Beast. Where was he?

The events in New York slowly unfolded as he watched his skinny lady eat. All the mistakes he'd ever made, his siblings, how he tried to hard to get back in their good graces. Mordred, Galahad, Raven. All of the important people to him -- not that he would ever make that known.

And when he remembered his sisters were married to archangels, he laughed, the sound echoing off the kitchen walls. Oh, they were going to love that, War especially. Would she try to kill Gabriel out of spite for being not only married, but married to an angel of the lord? He wondered.

And supposed he'd find out soon enough.]

[Rosier had come slowly to the realization of who he was. He looked at the journals and quietly ignored all the other journals. People had obviously remembered things. He felt vulnerable in the knowledge that other people knew him. Would they remember his true name? He didn't know. If they did...well, it was only a matter of time before his brothers found him. The panic came on slow but coiled tight around his chest and he got up, leaving his study and his work to go to an empty little shack across the fields. It was his place. People could find him there. He knew.

Fuck.

People knew. They'd seen. He couldn't handle that. Not right now. Not around other people. He could barely focus. Once he got to the room, he sat down and started breathing slowly, trying to calm himself, level his emotions and put it all behind him. That was what he would do. He would ignore it. He would ignore all of it.

There was one singular prayer muttered into his knees. His anger with his father was placed aside for that brief moment. The need for guidance was more important and yet he was still angry. He couldn't stop being angry. "You won't help me...even if I need you," he spat before going back to practicing his breathing. He was always better at helping himself. He didn't need anyone else. He closed his eyes. The only good thing he could see right now...was that he was at least spared marriage. Maybe he'd actually partake in the opium. It wouldn't help anything...but at least he wouldn't have to think.]
