ALL THOSE GOING TO CHINA, COME HERE.

Not that I'm organizing because AHAHAH. Heee. But I want to know if we can all get a flight together! And safety in numbers, right? And if this all goes well, that would be pretty super!

[Filter: Away from Khaos & minions]

Godlings, listen to me well. You must hurry to these locations:

→ Rhamnous, Greece to the Temple of Nemesis
→ Tai'an, Shandong, China to Dai Miao on Mount Tai
→ Teotihuacan, Mexico to the Pyramid of the Moon
→ Abydos, Egypt to the Great Osiris Temple

Each one will have a chalice that has been powering Khaos for so, so very long. Kala and Chiconahuiehecatl, they managed to figure it out but died before they could tell you. When you are there, you'll find the areas very deserted. Whenever her power begins to reach an unstable point, the cups trigger a force to keep people away. Natural distances occur, curses are born and so forth. But keep a low profile when you are there. The cups can be found in each location if you just follow a gut feeling. It will call out to you, demanding your presence to drink from you.

Please split into teams, four of them. At least five must reach each cup and drain themselves into it but the more, the better. It's a process that cannot be interrupted. You must hurry, must depart immediately and stay near the chalices for at least a full day, twenty-four hours, without pause for your power to be drained into it.

She will try to interfere. Fight her. Survive.

And somehow, in Zurvan I wasn't judged quite as harshly as I am now. a) for being Japanese-American, b) for being heavily tattooed, and c) for not wanting to get married EVER EVER EVER. I had to take out my piercings, so crossing my fingers that they won't heal up before I have to put them back in. I might just get fucking tired and put them back in anyway. But I can't take off the tattoes. IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN JUST FUCKING WASH THEM OFF WITH SOAP OR PEEL THEM OFF FOR FUCK'S SAKE

Usually I don't care what people think. I don't. But when people won't stop staring and not in the good way it's REALLY ANNOYING ACTUALLY UGH

Basically, FUCK THIS SHIT OKAY.

If one more person gets on my fucking case about my living situation, someone will get hurt. And I have the means to get away with it no matter what I just said. They should be more satisfied that my wife and I are still married instead of nitpicking about our living apart. Nosiness exists no matter what era you get into but it seems almost stronger right now.

Also, I didn't know we were dealing with drive-by shootings on top of the risk of being labeled crazy. How nice.

That was stupid and so is everything else going on here.

Now someone explain what this bullshit was and don't fucking get cute. I want to know why the second I meet a bunch of reincarnated people that I get attacked and have something so annoyingly small give me the vaguest, stupidest warning ever.

So that was fun. I've totally always wanted a fairy who bugged me all day, spilled coffee on me, hid my house keys, and gave my cat a haircut. THANKS, SANTA.

OKAY WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS PLACE

My life was perfectly normal until I got an email to check this place out AND THEN SUDDENLY EVIL FAIRIES WERE TRYING TO KILL ME AND MAKE SURE I FLUNK OUT OF COLLEGE????? And then all that stuff about no happy endings, who actually says stuff like that? IS THIS YOUR IDEA OF A JOKE, SICK, TWISTED PEOPLE?

...I want out. I WANT A HAPPY ENDING. LET ME LIVE IN PEACE.

[The fact that he was nearly killed by a small fairy was unnerving and annoying. He was not a person amused and he was glad it was over. At least he was until that fucking warning...and then the fucking crazy lady on the community getting all ridiculous about her words. To say he was panicking was maybe a bit of an understatement.

If he'd been back in Zurvan, there would just be fighting and not fucking worrying about shit. He was going to kill that bitch. That and try to figure out a way to explain the holes in the wall to his landlord. Or just get them fixed without mentioning it. He could figure that out.]

Whatever is happening right now...this is bullshit. I'm just saying.

Fairy business aside...I found this hilarious youtube video. Why did no one tell me about these literal video version things? These are the best.

I think the best and most relevant part to my whole life is "What the effing crap, that angel guy just felt me up." Hahahaha. I'm sorry. I have to go die now. Die from laughing. I can't stop and the younger ones are staring at me funny.

Guys, I miss trick-or-treating. Why did people get together and decide what was 'too old'? It's unfair. And what the hell is too old these days, anyway? WHY, PEOPLE? ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ I have cute little cousins back in Chicago, but that's in Chicago, and I'm not going to Chicago for Halloween. I JUST WANT FREE CANDY, FFS.

Also, I found the stupidest cupcake tattoo.

[The past four nights had given him dreams of a great big wolf with teeth bared and bloodstained at him. Though he didn't feel fear, apprehension remained with him even after he woke, his right hand aching fiercely. He didn't know what it meant or what it should mean but it couldn't have been random.]

It's a longshot but anyone good with dreams here? You know, maybe with giant animals? Maybe...wolves? Hey, maybe I was Little Red Riding in my past life. ...I'm joking. But seriously, give me something other than the vague mumbojumbo you get on websites or from my downstairs neighbour who I know is scamming people.

Also, does it really mean anything if you wake up in pain after a dream? Or is this an entirely different issue I probably should see my doctor about? You know, I might see him anyway.

You guys, you know what Tumblr reminded me of this morning? IT'S THORSDAY! We should celebrate, Asgardian-style, right Thor?

In other news, I got tickets to the One Direction show on December 3rd! Denver, we're totes going! Well, if we can find an adult to take us. I can't wait, it'll be faboosh! I'm gonna tell Louie I lurve him, and then he'll give me a hug and tell me I'm pretty! Yay!

So looking into tattoos, if you think I'm heavily tatooed, you haven't seen shit, okay? I was fooling around in Google, and some people really go all out. I've never gotten color in any of mine, not because I lack the funds or whatever, but I don't know, black and white works for me.



Okay, maybe I also don't make enough but that's NOT THE POINT.

There's no place like home x infinity and beyond. Ryujin, you owe me that dinner. Gabi, I expect cupcakes immediately, once you're done your underage drinking. And let's do nachos. With extra cheese and salsa.

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'm not freaking out. I'm not. I'm totally not freaking out right now. No, indeed. Oh, jesus fuck. I'm married...with CHILDREN. Which...well, that's not the disconcerting part, is it, Gabija? No. No, it isn't. The disconcerting part is who I married. Oh goodness. At least here I'm not insanely younger.

For fuck's sake. I'm married to an angel. Which would probably be praise if he ever saw this. Because he's secretly a demon...and a brat. And somehow this doesn't bother me. Dammit.

My head hurts. Also...what the fucking fuck hell is going on right now? I need cupcakes. Fuujin, you can help me eat them...only I don't know where you are

So I hear Camelot's nice this time of year~

Well, you don't see something like that every day...

[Filtered AWAY from ALL high ranks and soldiers]

Oh.

My.

Word.

So... I went to go visit the chancellor of Camelot, because I'm totally a concerned citizen and I wanted to bring a 'get well basket' from my parents to him and give him my best wishes, and when I snuck got to his room you'll never guess what I saw!

There was a man curled up in a chair just watching the chancellor! The man was pale, had weird and stupid curly hair, and I could hear him speaking in a strange accent! I didn't catch what he was saying because I didn't go in the room; I didn't want to be rude; but from where I was standing it totally looked like he and the chancellor were being intimate.

...does this mean the chancellor is somehow in cahoots with one of the enemies? I think the accent was Ryugu-jo-ian, but I'm not sure. I ran before they could spot me.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

[ filter; sigyn ]
So you might be dead. Are you really? Did someone get so angry with you that they took your life before your father could? Do you really know how many people you've pissed off?

If you're not dead, say something. And even if you are, I'm going to tell you this anyway. You fucked up, precious, and I know you know that. Running away for love, what kind of bullshit is that? Do you think you're a princess from a fairytale? That love or whatever you think it is can just fall in your lap like that? You have the spoiled princess part down, but your happy ending isn't going to happen if you're dead, is it?

You asked me once if the Emperor was giving me a hard time. What did you really think, that he wouldn't find someone to take his anger out on? I'm convenient, that's what I am. One day he'll snap my neck, and it's not going to be my fault. I don't think you're dumb enough to not get whose fault it will be.

So if you're dead, maybe that's just best for everyone.

[ filter; ryujin ]
She's alive. If you don't believe me, you can look at my journal later, because I'm talking to her right now.

Am I hearing right or did they finally find that runaway princess dead? I caught wind of this while wrapped around a slim, elegant Iriyian merchant, all cold toes and nose, but such a warm, wet mouth working. If so, thank whatever God there is. An end of that stupid mess.

In other news, my sister is dreadful at playing nice and I need a back rub. The two are not necessarily connected.

I leave tonight for the peace talks. Hippolytus will be in charge of Ryugu-jo while I'm away. I'm taking Fuujin and my son. Continue as you have been and report with any necessary details if and when they occur.

Morpheus, I intend to return with you. After these talks, you will not be needed there any longer. All search matters will be passed into the hands of Hades since I'm sure you have finishing those chats with the queen by now. Correct?

It's about time things start to go a decent direction. I think I might even just settle for their heads right now. I want it just done.


[ooc: he means to leave the night of the eighth, for the record]

It's annoying when people want to change things halfway. But that wife, she's so fussy. Women shouldn't chatter this much. Why is she so chatty? Doesn't she had people to talk to? Just stop telling me to change things. Just go away. I wish things just didn't have to change so much. I can work with it but...it's annoying.

Just like this country. Can't you all feel it? Something will change because of that stupid girl and her stupid selfishness. It's wrong. I guess I'll adapt but still. Why can't people understand that rules and laws are there for a reason? That it's not to hurt you but to guide you into the right thing? Born into everything, everything on a silver platter and still wanting something more...what did she want? I don't understand. Was it love? Was it because of something else? Does duty and loyalty mean nothing?

Threatening everyone else's happiness and even safety for your own is wrong. Thank God her mother isn't alive to see this, the empress' heart would break, I think. What about her siblings? Poor kids. Poor kids indeed.


Fuujin: you should come home for a while and have dinner with your family, you horrible boy. DON'T BE SELFISH LIKE THAT PRINCESS. No, she shouldn't be called that now. Just Sigyn, I suppose.

I really don't like change.

[When Euterpe dreamed, her dreams had a soundtrack. Music was that much a part of her life, and nothing -- not even Khaos herself -- could seem to change that about her. This time, this place, it was no different -- as she slept a song filled her head like it did every morning, except this time it was chosen by the events around her.

Like it or not, Euterpe was nervous. Sure, Merlin said he'd buy her, but that still meant she'd have to fight. And as a muse, she wasn't much of a fighter. What she needed right now was some good, old-fashioned inspiration -- as a muse she inspired others, but nothing said that couldn't work on herself as well -- and amusingly enough her subconscious must have known that. Why else would she wake up with the training sequence from Mulan stuck in her head, song and all? Clearly, these were words to take to heart, and if anyone noticed Euterpe's training improving little by little and her singing under her breath, then more power to them.]

New training philosophy;

We must be swift as a coursing river,
With all the force of a great typhoon,
With all the strength of a raging fire --
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon...
