mythopoeics

[ Being a single mother in this day and age was apparently so unacceptable, lying was the only way out of being chastised. Lying wasn't the part that hurt her-- it was what she had to lie about: being married to Diego. Still being with him at all. They had agreed to Luca being with him on weekends, so that he wouldn't be without his father, but now in this time, Diego wanted to be a bigger part of their lives

and it hurt

so much. ]

Is anyone available for hugs?

[Nephthys was not used to this yet she adapted. But it hadn't been the patients that gave her as much grief as the other nurses (obviously not Mona or Wadjet). There was one in particular a woman who watched her almost too closely. It didn't help that she found the other woman's hands to be as cold as ice and that she tended to grab Nephthys' arm in a cruel, hard grip when she wanted something from her.

Earlier that day, Nephthys had narrowing avoided being shoved against a railing she knew to be loose. The fall over it would have meant the end of her life from the fall. There had been no apology but just a dissatisfied glare from the other woman as she stormed off.]

This is. . . insane, for lack of a better word.

Fairies? I thought the reincarnated thing was strange enough, but now. . .

Well. If everyone here acts like it's normal, then, I guess. . . chin up high, Elle! Pretend like this isn't totally unusual.

[ end filter ]

Mm. . . looking at all the posts before, it looks like I lucked out with my fairy. Apparently she(?) had a fondness for Verdi, so as long as I sang to her she was usually reasonably well-behaved. Well, if you ignore the mess she made of my makeup, at least. . . Still, I don't think I've ever been so grateful to get back to my usual schedule of classes and practice.

. . . Oh. I guess I should also mention that I'm new here. My name is Elle, and I'm a junior studying vocals at Julliard. But even if I don't know you yet, I hope you're all feeling a little better now that things have calmed down. ♥

It's happening. IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING. After years of calling my cub "cub", he's finally going to dress up as a little lion. MY DREAM IS COMING TRUE. HOLD ME, SOMEONE. Even if it's through the screen l;jh;ljshlshsls

Before you ask, I so did not force this on him. He decided it on his own, because he can do that. Also, his birthday is coming up next month. Who wants to come celebrate with us? I'm thinking fajitas~

There's this movie called The Mummy on my tv. I'm still trying to decide how I feel about this movie. Apparently my statue not only had an evil mummy stashed under its feet, it also had the Book of the Dead inside of it. Also, the book of the living is inside the statue of Horus.

The security was clearly lacking I bet most of the people watching this don't even know who Horus and I are.

I am not sure how busy you all are but, if you could spare me an afternoon, I would happy to have you over for lunch.

Ok, so I have been kind of holding out on announcing this because I felt weird and needed time to be like OK SO THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING and all.

But, uh. I have a kid. From Zurvan (Wadjet, I'll explain!). Amina is really here and really my kid. So. YES.

Hey, bb, we are going out Friday, ok?

[His birthday was pleasant enough. His parents had called and sung to him, which was both nice and horribly awkward. It was probably even more hilarious once his one brother caught on in the middle of the song and sang horribly off key. Still, he'd been happy for the call.

The ward from Merlin had surprised him but it was a happy surprise. Maybe today wouldn't be all that bad of a birthday in the end. Sure, things had been a bit awkward since Zurvan, but he was determined not to feel it today.]

Today has been a good day. I will have to remind my brother that he cannot sing. He must have his mother's talent for singing.

I need a drink, but I don't want to do it alone. Who wants to come with me, or come over?

I miss my Luca. Sadfaceeee.

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?

[His name had been Typhon. He'd been a pretty boy, with dark curls and big brown eyes. His intelligence went far beyond that of his classmates, and he always spoke and acted in a manner far more mature than someone his age should have. That was Typhon. And when Typhon became so ill he couldn't attend school, she had visited with flowers and smiles. For two months, it had been enough.

Until he passed away in the morning. His death took a great toll on every student and staff member, but her most of all. Hathor disliked picking favorites, but if she'd had to choose, he would've been hers.

And so her afternoon following class was met with a bottle of something very strong.]

Because the Sultan has been silent on the matter, I decided it is my duty to inform you of our region's current situation.  I understand our decision will not be a popular one, but the necessity of it was not taken lightly.  We have secured a path through Babylon along the border of Camelot for soldiers of Nilfheim and Iriy to pass through in exchange for a toll.  We have military forces guarding that path in case of incident, but we have assurance from both countries that there should not be any problems that would lead to Babylonian land or people being harmed.  Please do not be alarmed by their presence and let us all hope that this war is swift.  In the meantime, please keep to the main cities of Babylon and limit your travel through those designated areas.

Here. Hospital. Don't...don't come yet. Time. Just a little...tired.

[Things had been tense on Hathor's part, and though she knew of nervousness, this certainly took the cake. Horus as a gladiator. Horus fighting Anubis, Horus killing Anubis. Sadness was not unknown to her, and behind a curtain, she admitted to shedding a few tears that were quickly wiped away.

A visit to Horus after his battle was all she needed to recharge. She'd wrapped her arms around him, peppered him with kisses and held him for as long as he needed to be held. He needed her as much as she needed him, that much was certain.]

I actually took the time to sit down and play some music today. It was relaxing. Of course, then I remembered I had to study so I switched to my computer. Of course then I got sidetracked looking around on youtube for a little while.

Woops!

I found this when searching around. If I were any good at singing...well, I still wouldn't be able to do that. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. I'm still not sure about these electric violins, but I'm impressed by the singing part! Anyway...I better go back to homework. Almost all done! Finally! Definitely going to bed early. Ugh.

What is it about nice weather that brings out the dumbasses of humanity? It's like as soon as the sun starts shining people lose all common sense.

Hn, and people wonder why I prefer being out on my boat.

It's Friday the thirteenth. Now, I don't believe in any of that silly nonsense because I've always have had good Friday the thirteenths. However, it's always enjoyable watching the overly paranoid fuss and worry about the harmless day.

Who here gets their panties in a knot over a number and a day?

[Cù Sìth was not without family though sometimes he thought he could do without them. Like when his sisters felt it was appropriate to be loud while he was sleeping. Irritation finally boiled into a plan and, after they had gone out, he had slipped into their rooms and stolen all their shoes and one sock from each pair (never would he touch their undergarments, ew).

These were then carefully tucked into boxes in the attic, in the garage and even among the dogs' things. Then, to avoid being around (as more loudness would follow once the girls were back), he took Kira, Ramsey and Arthur out for their walks. It was from the park he typed up a post.]

Hmmm. Arthur's drooling on my shoe.

And after everything that's happened over the past few months, this is somehow the least surprising of all. My divorce came through this morning. I didn't contest it.

There'll be a further custody hearing this month but, to be honest, I can't contest that, either. It's not fair to drag two children into this mess of a life I lead.

I hope you all have an enjoyable Easter, if you celebrate it at this time (I shall follow in a week) but, for now, it's back unto the breach. Being on call is never quiet but at least I can do some good, I guess.

[The game was not without some surprises. But she didn't have time to dwell on that. Or, rather, she didn't allow herself time to think on things that triggered guilt, made her flinch from past misdeeds and appearance from said past. Horus was here. Anubis, wouldn't he follow shortly? Was he already about? And Ra? Apep? Sekhmet, Ptah, Thoth, Meskhenet, Nut, Geb, Shu, Tefnut...all the others. Would their ranks swell with familiar faces?

There were two she didn't give voice to, to prevent herself from bring buried by the greatest of anxieties. But all things were eventually exposed. All in good time.]

I find myself in a rather interesting predicament of my own making, and I come here seeking some advice. As of tomorrow morning I'll be babysitting a lovely child, and I find myself at a loss for ideas on how to keep her entertained.

I suppose taking her to the parade and the park are both possibilities, however if anyone has suggestions or would like to assist me please do let me know.

I suppose if all goes well I shall have to send mother flowers or something as a thanks for the distraction. Having Sophie around will be just the impetus I need to stop myself from drinking to keep the nightmares at bay, I would think.

You know what I feel bad about sometimes? Folks who got their birthdays missed during, uh, fuzzy times. Does anyone care to do anything about that or am I gonna have to figure out something all on my lonesome?

Moving on, I'm not a friend of birds. Don't go and tell they are awesome because they aren't and neither is their shit. That jacket was Bebe and one of my favourite leather jackets. Seriously, we've got such a pest problem with these pigeon, ugh.

Also, while I search out for a third cat to adopt, I want to be the annoying one to say this: please adopt older pets. Yeah, even dogs. These guys don't often getting a loving home like the babies and all. Not if you have young children, though. I know they need the right kind of care. Just think about it.

[Having had time to accept what was happening, it seemed that now was an ideal time to reach out to all those of her pantheon. To see if any among them could offer up ideas. Plans. Anything to help them get out of this or manage it.

She was never going to get a quiet existence. Ever.]

[Filter: Egyptians]

This is not my thing. Someone take this from me. Fast. I pray someone has some idea of what we should do. Can we really carry on as if this is normal? Because I think not. But we haven't a way out, at least not one that I know of heard of. Once more, we are at the mercy of those we know next to nothing about.

I also hope that we are all here. That we are not badly scattered or even divided by worlds.

[Things had not been going well for Eve. Between the random and unexpected return of her memories as well as the realization that Horus most likely had been caught and killed she had never felt more adrift than she did currently. With no word from Tristan either, things seemed bleak. Her brief conversation with Samael, while a welcome diversion, did not change the fact that she was currently hiding out in an inn on the outskirts of Ilium wondering if and when someone was coming to kill her for her participation in the revolt.

She had to take action, and fast. Ride to Camlann, perhaps, like she told Samael she would. The idea of putting him in a position where he might be forced to protect her was upsetting, but where else could she go? There was always the option of just going where the wind took her, but that was a daunting prospect. Still. She had to do something.

Approaching the innkeeper, she bartered with him to gain a horse in exchange for a bracelet that she dimly remembered getting as a gift. It's sentimental value was outweighed by necessity; the innkeepers' wife found it pretty and she wouldn't get far on foot even if she had a better chance of evading capture. Loading up her meager possessions, she wrote two quick notes, and was on her way.]
