Because allowing foreign countries into your own to fight on your soil has always been such a good idea. I wonder who the genius behind this master plan was.

Alive and well enough, but I hate moving and I hate this cast. How can anyone keep something this irritating on for six weeks? If it gets any more inconvenient I'm sawing it off. I was told they wanted me to stay out on leave for awhile longer at work, too. I guess that's just more time to unpack boxes.

Also more time to find the remote. Which is still missing. Why.

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

[She'd kept her emotions in check and had walked away from the Arena before anyone could so much as grab her arm or stop her. She moved with her slaves and guards back home. There was no comfort but that she could bring to herself and she could - would not blame Horus for the decision he took. An attempt had been made for mercy and it had been cruelly denied. Horus had a family to look out for as much as anyone else.

And if she was suffering, she could not imagine his burden. Or Isis'. Or Osiris'.

It was when she was finally in her own chambers, alone with her journal, that she reached out.

Many of us mourn today but what has been done is done. That sounds cruel but we cannot do anything about it. The moment the battles were announced, there was some...idea of what could happen. What was likely to happen. It's up to Khaos to return him to us.

One of my professors decided to broach the topic of boy bands making a comeback today, and played One Direction's 'What Makes You Beautiful', which is an appropriately fluffy tweenybopper-type song, and I have no shame in admitting that I danced my ass off. Then, my friend Darren played the parody by Key of Awesome. It was hysterical, but the professor was so not amused.

I love coming home to find UPS left me a surprise, and oh, what a surprise it was. My father sent me a new flute for my birthday, isn't it gorgeous? I'll have to practice with it before my final. I can't wait to try it out. As it gets closer to the actual day I turn twenty-four, I've been trying to come up with ways to celebrate my birthday while being mindful of the fact that I've got a two hour lecture at 9:15am on Tuesday. I'm thinking someone should at least offer to buy me a drink, but if that doesn't work I'll make my own fun. I always do.

Operation: Find New Apartment has hit a snag. Apparently, I got really lucky when I got my current place, because everywhere I look people are asking for references. While I have no idea what kind of questions someone would ask one of these so-called references ('does she keep a clean place, pay her rent on time?') I can't think of anyone to ask to help me out.

Guess that's one of the few problems with trying to stay mysterious keeping to oneself. Ah well, in the meantime my neighbor got arrested, so it's been quieter around here. Guess that's one thing in my favor.

I guess this calls for an introduction. I'm Aaron and I'm not really sure why I'm here, only that I am. Odd invitations to strange places. I'm not sure I entirely understand. Then again, accepting these things was probably not my BRIGHTEST move, but hopefully it's worth it and no one's out to kill me. Are Apep or Isis behind this? I will leave if they are. I refuse- I was in the middle of homework when this popped up and I really need to get back to that, but do I know anyone in here from school? Is that what this is about?

[There were plenty of things in life where it was just easier to turn the other cheek. However, there was a truth coming to the surface that he just couldn't ignore anymore. He had seen many unexplainable things happen in the past few months. Or, well, at least events with an explanation he was all too happy to shrug off as too bizarre to be true. The more he heard and lived through, the more he had tried to deny everything. And the keyword there was certainly tried. As much as he didn't want to believe it he just couldn't get it out of his head. The reasons as to why it was happening to him and why both he and his roommate were involved were right there. His conversations with others were becoming much too uncanny for him not to notice it. The truth was finally there in the back of his mind. It was easy enough to deny it for awhile and let it sink in in due time.

The only thing that changed was another truth that he had picked up on within the past two weeks. He had been quietly suspicious as there was just something he could recognize. It was vague, but it was there. Especially after a conversation from the past week. And eventually he remembered the scent as well. He couldn't stand it.

There was a breakfast full of passive aggressive remarks and then, being more certain of the way things were, Altan shoved his roommate into the hallway storage closet and locked the door. He finished his toast, packed a few things, grabbed the cat, knocked over the small defenseless potted plant that Donovan had brought home, spat in the milk, and left.

Academic and political circles debate what poverty truly is; many perceive poverty through different perspectives, depending on the wheeling and dealing that must be endured by our dearest politicians. While they sit in their armchairs before the fire, people of our common places struggle to survive in the barest ways. Almost like animals.

But really, the question I ask. What is poverty? I feel that once the question is answered then surely the culprit may be accountable. Is it a social concern? An ethnographic problem, or a theoretical concept with no true bearings? Perhaps it's merely politics.. or even just the luck of your hand by being a locational concern. Whatever the case, who do we hold responsible?

If it's social, then might we all be responsible for the poor? Might we all feel guilt for not helping our brothers and sisters in their less than necessary and entirely non-noble struggle? If it's ethnographic, then might the academy be held accountable? They examine, write and exoticize our under represented masses. Or no, perhaps it's theoretical and all wise men are to blame. But politics. Politics seems most likely, and I don't say this blindly. Our politicians, our monarchy even, has its way with the world as the cost of those that serve them.

For them, poverty and indebtedness--slavery if you will--is a God riven right to their comforts and luxuries. The monarchy stands upon its high grounds and looks down upon the fragile world, watching it breathe and weep for its misery and feeling no remorse. No indeed, why should they? All their comforts are provided. Poverty then, for these moral-less rulers, is a product of social inequality. It is a direct result of the struggle between the political and the Divine Right of Kings.

The amoral guardians of our dearest Ilium practice a thing called oppression. I use oppression here not to signify cruelty, but more of an unjust treatment of our fellows. An unjust and absolute control where our brothers and sisters have no power over themselves, the products of their labor or even of their fates. Our brothers and sisters have been reduced to animals, stripped of their freedoms and their rights, stripped of their humanity to serve like baseless dogs the Kingdom upon which our monarchy stands! And it's wrong, I argue, because the monarchy of Ilium should defend its people and seek to raise them up high, not drive them to the ground.

But, no! No indeed, for the people over which they rule are no better than the dogs that feed from the scraps at their feet. That's what they've been reduced to. Animalistic barbarism where survival alone is the only key. The only aspiration, no matter the means to their end.

It is an inherently unfair system. A system that was deliberately created by our industrious monarchy of Ilium. A consequence, perhaps, a punishment to show just who has the power; putting people in their rightful place.

And so I call, now at the last upon the springs of revolution, for a transformation of society. For a rebirth. Transformation is necessary, from industrial dogs to egalitarian freedom! To equality. Equality to achieve autonomy.

As lovely as the hospitality has been, it's wretchedly hot in Mictlan. I don't know how these people can bear to keep their clothes on.

If it were my kingdom, I should mandate that all the men wear loin cloths (stylish loin cloths, mind you).

For my own personal use, I've been inspired to design trousers with a lower cut and frock coats without sleeves. I should like to make more if anyone has an interest in keeping cool~

But how can I-

There's NO SUCH thing

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

I rather not do this publicly...


You Know Who You Are (and everyone else please disregard):

Was the smiley face really necessary?

Unless I was robbed by 5-year-old girls, I can only assume that you know just as well as I that faerie wings do not exist even though I spent all of last night and today trying to find them anyway.  So the purpose of asking for such nonsense and knowing that I will inevitably fail eludes me, but I can only guess that you wish me desperate to appease you.  Fine, you won. 

The lamb that you took was hardly my most valuable, and with an injured leg I doubt she is much use to you at all.   I'd offer you money or any of my belongings in exchange for her return, but I suspect if that's what you wished for you would have asked for it in the first place.

So the only conclusion I can come to that prompted this is that I affronted you in some way I am unaware, and for that I am apologetic for the misunderstanding.  I hope you burn.

Please make a more realistic request so I do not have to face you empty-handed.

Svarga, as nice as it's been- (and they weren't kidding about the sunlight)
Better home before I outstay my welcome.

Probably will take it a bit slower on the way back to Camlann, as to avoid any further injuries. The flock had enough excitement, I think.  As have I.

Again, thank you for your assistance. If you ever need a favour, don't hesitate.

She's doing much better, but I'll probably have to carry her most of the way.  Is there anything else I should do?

you're lovely

It'll take about a week, but I'm on my way back. Any time you wish to see the sheep, you're welcome to visit. No need for schedules, I don't keep much of one.

[filter: Anubis]
So I might have left my book in your graveyard. Sorry about that.
I don't imagine the dead like to read, but you can keep it if you do.

[filter: Bastet]
It was worth visiting, and you more than made it up to Oatmeal. I think she rather stay with you, but I'm not giving her much choice in the matter.

Let me know if you ever find yourself in Camlann.

Saw some red-footed falcons today.  They usually stop by Ilium during the spring, when they journey north.

Guess it's coming early this year.  Time to change the crops. Anyone like lettuce?

[Filter: Dad]

Fucked of me to filter to you now that you're gone, I know.  But I'm doing my damnedest by you.  You weren't the king of Glastheim or some shit like that, but you were are my father.

Hope the spring's coming there, too.  Wherever you are.

I'd like to know: what or who gives you inspiration? Who gives you the strength to carry on or the inspiration to do something new, or perhaps something familiar?

Things are going well. My brother and I have a dog now, Wuffles, and he's very smart. He likes to follow me around when I'm doing chores, and he barks to let me know when people are coming my way. I gave him a bath and got him a bow, but I don't think he likes it.

I've been trying to see if anyone in town needs someone to write, and a shopkeeper said he would keep me in mind. That made me happy. Maybe soon I can have a job like my brother, so we can both help each other.

I believe that if we all embraced our histories we would come to realize that all of us are, in fact, criminals. There is a large history of crime through mass executions, power changes and genocides that can't be denied. And yet it's odd that when one claims one's identity it is never in an open acknowledgement of such historical events.

So what then does it mean to be Ilian, Svargan or Mitclain? What does anyone really take on when they lay claim to those titles? Do you deny your historical connections? At what cost?

Such events are not privileged narratives, but rather a fundamental truth to the human and Divine nature. And yet it speaks most heavily of nationalism. And what is nationalism but an excuse for prejudice and genocide.

"You aren't one of us."

What a series of awful words. Doesn't it just ring in your ears? Give you a chill. Especially if it were coming from the mouth of a bigot.. of a racist. Imagine, for a moment, if such men and women waged a war of supremacy. Chaos reigns supreme.
