[Filter: Hermione + Helen]

So when we were you going to tell me you planned on skipping school to go on vacation with your mother and uncles?

Read this also as my telling you it's a bad idea and you shouldn't do it. Pulling you out of school to go on vacation isn't help while you're settling back into a more normal routine. And you'll miss classwork that will pile on you later. Yes, I'm saying this as your father even if I haven't got any legal right to do much.

Your mother is included in this filter because I'm going to be fair and not bribe you with any ponies.

[Filter: Hermione]

Clearly, I would bribe you with maybe a lop rabbit first.

You. ♥ Are you two busy this Friday or this weekend?

If I have to suffer another day with this idiot, I am going to arrange for him to have his teeth punched out and made into a necklace. Sexist, elitist comments about women in the workforce? No.

Note to self:

- Buy chow for Gin and Tama.
- Buy litter. Take cab.
- Throw out cactus. Buy new one.
- Plot to throw Karen in front of bus.
- Stock up on udon and vodka.

Vodka -- better with orange juice, tonic, or Cola? There is a right and wrong answer here. Choose wisely.

...

Nutjobs, the whole lot.








Who the hell are you people?

[She'd fallen very quiet upon seeing the filter from her father. So quiet that Mattie had abandoned her bone to rest her head upon her lap, curious as to why her owner was so silent. Struck still, Hermione hadn't even stroked her head.

What was there to say to someone who wouldn't understand? Someone who could never be able to sympathize with her past? Certainly worse things could have happened, but it was a life she never wished to repeat. The memories left a bad taste in her mouth. Her mother being taken, her father leaving, her mother forgetting her. And with those memories came her marriage to Neoptolemus. Her love for Orestes. Every thought was like pricking her fingertips over and over, but not enough to bleed. Just enough to hurt.

Her first conversation with Helen had been awkward. There was no doubt in her mind that her father was far easier to get along with, but despite her uneasiness, her hatred for all that had happened, she'd been happy. Glad, even, that her mother could give her the time of day. Every subsequent conversation was golden.

Could her father truly not understand how she could take that over school? For her mother to finally be paying attention to her -- it elated her. It had been so easy to forget about classes and focus on being with her mother for an extended period of time. Hermione, in truth, was a selfish little girl, but was it selfish when it was for something you deserved? Something you should have been granted from the beginning: love and attention?

Fuck school. There was no turning back.]

Do you think it means something if you dream something over and over again?

Now that we are out of Zurvan and home, I would not be interested in continuing to call you brother. I loved you as a sister should, and now that time has come and passed.

Nora would like for you to come over for dinner this weekend. I, also, would like this.
