Gloss Post!
Well, it's that time again, kids. Since we resume real-time on Sunday, it's time to beg the question of.... "Whatcha been doin'?"

The gloss will cover the dates of March 21st (post-sunrise) through March 31st. I expect, for the most part, this will involve godlings dealing with the aftermath of showing their true selves. Remember, those around you aren't going to be forgetting anytime soon. Also, how are the godlings themselves feeling after having had a taste of their old power again? Are they pining to get it back, or more relieved it's over?

Also, congratulations to our parents-to-be! You know who you are. ^_^ Expecting moms, you might find this a handy quick-reference (of course, you're welcome to do your own research or ask the mod who's been through the experience too). For pretty much all of you, the pregnancy will be more or less normal (aside from whatever complications you want the moms to go through). But they will all be standard 40-week pregnancies (and, as a reminder, that's 40 weeks measured from the last menstrual cycle--actual conception marks the start of Week Three).

As a reminder, as always, threads will remain open as long as necessary, and you are always welcome to back-date.

Meanwhile, changes will soon be afoot... ^_^

Aphrodite has found herself to be something of a sudden media darling in the wake of her influence over the city. Some fear her, some have gained a deep respect for her, and some are outright suspicious. She keeps going in stride, and has actually gotten a bump in business now that she's been "outed." She misses her powers, and would love to have them back again.

Apollo continues to charm the citizens of Seattle. People seem to look to him to keeping the now-known Muses in line. He does seem to be getting wider exposure and fame now that his real identity is out there. He also finds himself wishing he could have his abilities back more often, but is still doing well enough without them that it's not a big priority for him.

Ariadne, having not left her home all day during the Equinox, hasn't experienced much different, although her co-workers are still trying to get her to explain where she was on Tuesday. Frankly, she'd rather not go through that again.

Asclepius is busier than ever, and his patients are raving about their "miracle cures" at his hands. He has had difficulty finding a way to explain it to his young daughters, though. He does wish he had his old abilities and equipment back, since it would mean being able to save more patients, but only so long as he's able to wear normal clothes to do it.

Bastet has had a lot easier time doing her job since it's been discovered she's a goddess. Most people don't want to incur her wrath, so things have become much more honest at the MGM Grand. She doesn't especially mind not having her powers, since there isn't any serious threat to combat right now, but they would be useful to help deter mischief around her.

Erato is still trying to help her family come to terms with who she really is. Meanwhile, she is experiencing a lot more traffic on her advice blog, and her parents have never been more productive. Seeing as her abilities have never been that strong, she doesn't really care if she has them one way or another.

Esther decided to just make it an extended birthday party, and found that she got a lot more attention as Queen Esther than as Hada Morgenstern, although no one really acknowledged her other identity. However, the godlings have created a national stir, and she's been keeping close tabs on the fallout in Washington.

Kali has been embroiled in questions surrounding rules-lawyering of the boxing circuit. Some are also looking to her to help pay to clean up the destruction left in her wake. No one has dared to ask for the return of her necklace. She doesn't entirely know what to DO with her powers, so she isn't really caring if she has them or not, but she does think they're kind of cool.

Ogma fortunately escaped a great deal of scrutiny and most people in Kansas City remain blissfully unaware of who he really is. His children are still coming to terms with the idea that their dad is actually a god. He's been trying to keep in touch with Lilith, unsure of where their relationship is going to be going from this point. He misses his powers, but is content without them.

Sif has been trying to reassure Tina and her employees about who she really is, and her bakery has gotten an uptick in business from curious customers. She remains in regular contact with the other Norse, and is busily planning on getting to New York and Iowa as fast as she can. She also wishes she still had her powers, but can live without them.

Triton has been dealing with people not sure whether or not to take him seriously as a god or not in the absence of his powers, and working to train his new army. Most people try not to upset him, though, and most continue to be willing to follow his orders, but he does not command as much respect as he does with them. He wishes immensely to have them back, and also hopes his trumpet will also be recovered.

Urania feigned a family emergency to fly back home and talk to her parents and sisters (the biological ones, not the Muses) and take some time to sort through her memories, as she hadn't been fully awakened yet. She's a bit puzzled since the amount of knowledge she had as the Muse of Astronomy makes scientific discovery a lot less captivating, so she's kind of going through a 'should I be in grad school' phase to go with the whole 'who am I?'

She left notes to Apollo, Mel and Erato pretty much saying she needed bio-family time, and to wait to contact her first or until she got back to Laramie unless there's an emergency.

Things are awkward at work, and at the Laramie area. Urania also is keeping an eye on the blogosphere and the news.

Melpomene's face is well known in Seattle now, and some people really enjoy her. Others are really not happy that she exists at all, as she has ruined some of their lives respectively. She of course shrugs it off as she only pushes what's already there.

There was also a very graphic suicide in Georgia during the Equinox. The woman had filled the bathtub with water, got inside the water and then pulled her microwave and computer tower into the water with her, that she had hooked up to extension cords. Her cell phone was found on the toilet. Police tried to contact the last incoming number, but it was on a tracfone which no one answered.

Mab was not publicly outted, as the city government is bound by a fairy deal to keep her safe, and no direct footage of her face was ever recorded. The City of Chicago is actually doing rather well in the aftermath in nearly all areas.

Lilith was not directly identified during her transformation, so she got back to her routine rather easily. She was happy to keep in touch with Ogma. Though the Christian population has been stirred to a frenzy in and around L.A., claiming the whole thing as a sign the world is ending.

Seth is busy exerting his muscle among the power-brokers of New York to secure his and Tar's positions in the city. He has also inducted more loyal mobsters into his cult.

Hades is keeping in touch with Persephone and monitoring the effects of the godlings' actions on humanity and how to respond.

Tyr is planning for his wedding to Sif despite people knowing who he is.

Frigg was not in public during the event so people are not aware of her godhood.

Dionysus, having spent the Equinox drinking like an immortal, was unpleasantly surprised to wake up the following morning with a mortal hangover, which kept him incommunicado for a couple of days in an abandoned warehouse in the Bronx. Upon recovering, he decided to head west again, bumming rides and seeing where he would wind up.

(In a related story, representatives for Seth MacFarlane and Richard Dawkins were "unable to comment" on the packages both men received in the mail on the day of the Equinox, though anonymous sources report that both packages contained a bottle of 18-year-old single-malt scotch and an eloquently worded sympathy note.)

Seph is grateful to liven in South San Francisco, so not too much negative attention on her, just the shop being busy. She's been keeping up with the grainy pictures of them on the neopagan and gothy web sites and telling Hades she's okay.

Tara's been with Seth.

Arthur stayed home in full armor that day and ordered delivery.

Sigyn is the official patron goddess of her hospice patients and coworkers, but no one really cares about people like that enough to bother her.
