mythopoeics

My mom is awesome. Seriously, she is. She's the kind of woman who can still baby her boys even though we're both well over twenty, one's a former god, the other's a... sorry, bro, I seriously don't get very well if you're a wizard slash harry potter slash human who could do parlor tricks and was kind of smart.

What I don't get is why we had to cross the ocean and couldn't bring her over. Cheers.

Boys, I'm thinking we should leave sometime next week to belatedly celebrate your birthday with your mother. Don't be fussy with your papa now and just agree. He's already making plans. ;)

[Filter: Public]

I will be out of the country next week. The boys are just dying to see their mother and who am I to deny them that? Mona, you'll survive without me, won't you? ♥ I'll bring back Nora something, promise.

[ Zephyrus is just sitting on a couch looking slightly uncomfortable. ]

I'll be honest with you all, I'm not a blogger, and I don't even really use a phone that much, so sorry if I sound awkward. I know I do... Unfortunately this is the best way to introduce yourself I guess. I'm... Zephyrus [ Even knowing the circumstances, or at least hearing about the circumstances, that brought all of them together it's still weird to introduce himself with his true name. ] I'd really appreciate it if you called me Wren, or I guess Zeph if you have to.

That's about-- [ He's about to end this awkward video but remembers something. ]

Our free Saturday at the botanical gardens here in the city is coming up so if you haven't been before it comes highly recommended. [ Free Weekend? Worst idea in the world. ] I work there, and that's why I'm telling you all. I have a couple of gardens, so you might even see me.

[ With that he abruptly, abruptly, cuts the feed. ]

It's the time of the year when everything starts to die. Isn't it wonderful? Do you know what else is wonderful? Halloween. I've decided to dress up as Spock. Live long and prosper. Why? Because I can and haven't since I was 20. Besides, I think I need a change from gore.

... ... ... ...

I think I might be sick.

Quick! Someone take my temperature! Where's a doctor when you need one?!


N'kay. Enough of that. It's time to get serious. Friends, family, I'm ...wait for it... Phobetor. Or Edward. I've come out of the darkness to fill your world with light and laughter. Or was I supposed to say I've come in from the light to fill your world with darkness and screaming? Either way, you're welcome! :D

[ filter; selene and helios ]
You. ♥ Are you two busy this Friday or this weekend?

[Filter: Helios]

So that's how it is.

Looks like I gotta introduce myself here. My mama named me Jessica Anne, but most days I go by Jess. Jessica is what like, my dentist calls me.

[ filter; greeks ]
But you can call me Eos. ♥

[Filter: Ra & Helios]

Hey there, Ra - you can ignore the harpy.

[Filter: Igraine]

Hey sis.

[Filter: Morpheus]

We should talk.

Oh.

How curious. How did I forget about this for so long? It has been such a long time for remembering. Such a long time.

Theseus...Do you remember, too? You are my brother but you are not my brother. What a curious phenomenon.

Does this happen a lot? It's a good thing I didn't get a goldfish before I was disappeared...This is like waking up to find you are in Wonderland. I wonder where the looking-glass is. Or the rabbit hole.

My brother, Chancellor Merlin, has sustained rather serious injuries and will therefore be out of commission for some time. He's told me to relay that he will be alright. In light of this, should there be any questions or concerns, please feel free to direct them to me, and I will provide you with all that I can.

[ filter; merlin ]
How are you feeling today?

[ filter; heimdall ]

[ filter; private ]
I miss you.

In light of recent events, I believe now would be the most appropriate occasion to execute our peace summit module.

I feel an addiction to caffeine coming on. I'm starting to get headaches if I don't- If it weren't for all this- It could be worse, I suppose.

[Filter: Merlin]
I've been taking care to-
This might not have been my best idea, but-
About the other morning when you...No. It's probably better to pretend I didn't see anything

I've observed that you seem to be low on alcohol. Should I see to that while I'm doing my usual duties or will you be fine with what you have? Which is to say, will you be resorting to drinking more than you can handle again any time soon?

I've been keeping an eye on things as you asked, but it seems we've both been busy, so I didn't have time to tell you that he sent a telegram home the other day.

And I left some sandwiches for you...in case you hadn't found them.

[There was a first time for everything, Amaterasu had heard it said, but she sincerely hoped it wasn't true. As misfortune would have it, though, or perhaps Murphy's Law had she known it existed, things wouldn't quite work out for her that night.

Prior to coming home, she would be approached by a drunk customer who had left just half an hour before the end of her shift. Being the passive sort, she'd tried to worm her way out, but he was relentless, blocking her way out of the alleyway no matter which way she stepped. In tears, she violently pushed past him (and would regret it later) so that she could break into a run, wetness staining her cheeks by the time she reached home.

Her boots were taken off on the front porch, and she cried into her knees, reaching for the journal she kept tucked into her bag.]

[filter; helios]
are you awake?

[there may just be tear stains on the page]

I STUBBED MY TOE ON THE END TABLE FOR THE LAST TIME. I want it thrown out and axed. Into itty-bitty pieces. And then I'll just buy two new end tables so clearly the other one MUST go. IS THE PARTY WHO IS THE MUSCLE IN THIS HOME READING?

In other news, Mary brought in a baby bird and won't tell me where she hid it because apparently I'll 'throw it out'.

[Filter: Private]

She's not precisely wrong as baby birds have no place in the house. Ugh.

[ filter; leukothoe ]

Feel like being a normal chick yet?

Relaxed yet or still yelling at strangers?

[ / ]

Stubbed a toe. Kick the boys around the training grounds but am defeated by a door.

Ah, my feet are sore! It's nice to be home, but it's even nicer to take off my boots and wiggle my toes.

[Filter: Heimdall]

You were my brother in all but blood, so I owe it to you to approach you, one last time, as a sister and not as the queen of the nation you betrayed.

Kindly explain your rationale.

[Filter: Camelotian High Ranks]

You are aware of the trying circumstances that have been forced upon us. Before I assign you your duties --

Your thoughts, gentlemen.

Where are you?

ATTENTION EVERYONE

I would like to inform you all that there is a horse on the loose, who eats scarfs- as of right now her location is undetermined, please approach with caution or inform the right authority (me). Keep your hands to yourself, folks, no one likes losing a finger or two.

So being in a hospital was fun but Daddy's all better now. Replace 'Daddy' with whatever I am to you. And apparently my other son is Helios.

My children > yours

What else has been going on here?

[Filter: Selene]

Girl, I think you made that guy think he's a narcoleptic. I think you made everyone else at the table think he's narcoleptic.

Nicely played, we're going to play cards with people again.

[Filter: Morpheus]

Sorry about the kitchen incident, I got distracted chatting to Euterpe.


So.

[Filter: Theseus & Helios]

See, the issue is that neither of you ever got fucking locked in a cave because of a young hot girl. Let's say that hypothetically - this girl might be interested. And I don't think she has anything to do with caves.

Thoughts? Mark ✔ as appropriate, followed by reasoning for your answer.

Hey there.

[The night was much nicer and she found herself sitting up in her room, dressed in a silvery-white dress she'd found, and painting her toenails. Her window was open. The night was always cooler and she rarely dressed in anything heavy enough to warrant discomfort.

As she finished with the nailpolish, she set the bottle aside carefully after closing it. She'd already spilled one this week. Another would just be tragic. She pulled her computer over, humming softly as it booted up. Leaning against the wall, she looked out the window at the moon. It was half gone. Natural as it was, she still wondered at it. It was still beautiful and with it, she felt beautiful.]

Blue is a perfect color. The moon is half gone. I've been watching it outside my window. I cannot wait for the full moon, to see it in all its beauty. Will you admire it like I do? So many slumbering people...

[Filter: Private]
I will find you Endymion and you'll never escape from me again. I will make sure.

I...

might have made a mistake.

Is anyone good at um. Reversing or negating powers? Getting things back? Specifically thoughts? Memories?

I rather be vague but that's probably not too helpful to the situation.

Help please.

Back for a week and already my brother's looking at me with puppy dog eyes because he can't figure out how to work the washing machine. The things I do...Then again, he was going to drive all the way home to make our mom do it, so I told him not to be stupid and I'd do it for him this time, but we'd have to work on teaching him how to do laundry on his own.

Nothing out of the ordinary, though. I guess I'll have to read and take notes on the things I missed even though I have time enough. Who knows when I'll have time to do it before we suddenly disappear to somewhere else. I still hate that woman. I'm the sun god. I am Ra and she just- I still want Sekhmet

[Filter: Bastet]
How are you? Should I even write this? Maybe not. Everyone's so-

[Filter: Set]
As it's doubtful you stayed in one place for very long, I suppose you're home by now.

How are you feeling? Physically. You won't want to talk emotions and that would be weird if we did that anyway You did well. I'm proud. Do I say this where he can see it? Probably not. His ego doesn't need to get bigger

[Filter: Andrus]
I'm glad you're back. For the record. I missed your one-worded responses and your dry sense of humor and your...side-eyeing. Something like that.

Do you want a copy of the notes from class when I make them?

Hello? No one's said if you were here or not. Have you gotten a dimmer yet? I thought I should be certain.

Three guesses who I am and the first two don't count.

OLD MAN. You a zombie yet? Everyone else is and you're too chirpy to do otherwise.


Since everyone's so calm, how common is being beamed up to the Enterprise?

So I've learned waking up to a bunny rabbit isn't nearly as satisfying as a house full of servants. I'm hiring a maid. She'll be Eastern-European and speak little to no English, but her face and assets will be fantastic.

[Merlin has left a few things pending, not out of laziness but preoccupation with other things. Sometimes it all happened too much, too fast at once. The moment was gone at the drop of a hat, and Merlin was left chasing after it. Never mind, he would catch it soon enough.]

I haven't heard bad word, not that I would go looking for it.
