mythopoeics

[At the worst of times, Babylon could be so boring. With all the rumors of what had gone down at the peace talks, people were worrying their panties into a knot. And to top it off, still no one really knew where that royal couple was. There had been an article in Camelot about a sighting, but how true was it?

In any case, Naamah wasn't having enough fun. It was torture, sometimes. But she'd always figured, if you weren't having fun, you had to make your own fun. Don't expect others to create the interest for you, because people weren't trustworthy. And neither was she, frankly.

So Tuesday evening had found her curled up against the side of a bar patron, her hair appropriately curled and her dress hanging loosely about her hips. There was no intention to sleep with this man, only to press her lips to his ear and whisper. I heard it from someone else, but did you know officials are saying that body in the paper is the Ryugunese princess? And to another's ear -- did you know she has birthmarks they can use to identify her? Did you know she was still wearing a kimono when it happened?

Well, all in a day's work. She'd return home and congratulate herself with a glass of something strong but sweet.]

Do you know Are both of you too busy for dinner today?

[Filter: Family (siblings, in-laws, cousins, etc)]

Polyxena and I are very happy to announce that we will be parents within a few months. And, really, is there anything more than needs to be said?

Brothers of mine~ visit soon and adore your sister-in-law. Euterpe, tell Reed for me. ♥

[Filter: Private]

The war...is going to be a problem. This was too soon.

I think tips are very nice. ♥

I miss you, brother.

Stop being busy, you!

[The dirty cat in her office had caught her off-guard. Very off-guard. As a woman who was rarely caught in such a state, this was impressive. The thing had tread over her paperwork, her desk, her rug. And the place must have been sprayed with liquid catnip or something, because there was dirt on everything.

The only person who could be responsible was Angrboda. Athena never left her windows open upon leaving, especially not when it was for days with the Czar. This level of disrespect was-- she had no words for it. She felt like her privacy had been violated, her space in which she felt comfort.

Angrboda would soon find the same cat, still dirty and looking for blood, in a box poked with holes sitting on her doorstep.]

We're going to war. I don't know if this is a surprise to either of you. I can't promise nothing will happen to me, but I

I love both of you, alright?

If I can't make it to your weddings because
I'm sorry.

The trip to Camelot is so close I can practically taste it. For anyone wondering, it tastes like those darling little cucumber sandwiches. Is it odd that I've actually missed them? Regardless, I honestly cannot wait to set foot on Camelotian soil again. I just hope Merlinthey're ready for me and mine.

Has anyone seen or heard from Syrinx? It's been a few days, and I stopped by her house to bring her a drawing Reed made for her, but there was no answer. Her neighbor said they haven't seen hide nor hair of her either, and nobody seems to know where she could be. I'm worried.

I hate not knowing how to deal with things I can't control. At least with my vocation I have some control over shaping the metal into an item, but life doesn't work like that.

If it did, I'd be using my hammer to make it be whatever I wanted.

My brother, Percival, is going off to war, and I don't know what to do.

So the children brought in a cat they conveniently found. And then they let it out. The little fuck ran throughout the whole damn place, then found me when I was taking a nap and BIT ME. I want to say it stopped there but then it tore into my arm when I tried to swat it away.

WHAT THE HELL?

[Filter: Private]

I can't believe she returned it like a package. And it's still dirty.

FINE. Snails in her drawers next time.

[Filter: Castor]

I miss you, Camelot is boring with you. I'll be home soon, but you will come with me, right? We cannot live apart.

[Filter: Hector's family]

It is so very nice to have met you all, I really hope my visit isn't an intrusion or imposition. Unless you're- ...

[Filter: Hector]

♥ Are you pleased, darling?

[This Daphne knew how to do. Much better than a lover or a wife or anything she could be. This she could do.]

[Filter: High ranks of Niflheim]

The army is being assembled and made ready. A day or two and we can march.

Time to move out, pumpkins.

I don't know why I'm- I know this is-

Merlin isn't well enough to tell you himself, but he was hurt the other day. I found him down a well with a broken wrist. He was pretty out of it. I got him back to the castle and got the doctor. He should be fine with rest...but I don't know what happened. Did he say anything to you about-

I figured you might want to know. If not, then forgive me for my assumption.

( i was sinking, and now i'm sunk )

Today's been the least busy of my days. I'm not sure I can be pleased about that I even spent time in the fields, which was a little strange, since I'm almost never out there...to help.

[Filter: Siblings]
Come see me. I've missed y- No. Nevermind. We're having dinner. In case you didn't know. Ten minutes. Be there. I don't want to have to feed your food to the cats in retaliation.

backdated.

( no one would dare to question you )

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.
