I'm alright. Just got a few scratches from some flying glass. This sort of violence is much more my style. Less following orders. Laying low for a bit.

Don't go into the office tomorrow. Day off with pay. You see anyone following you, you let me know and I'll take care of it.

I think I'm adjusting to this era rather nicely. Not saying I want to stick around but at least I get to do something that resembles my job back home. Also, I'm not married to Athena someone I don't care about and my kids are here. That puts it easily above some of the other places.

[FILTERED PRIVATE]
Never really considered myself the sort to like a mob job. Something to consider if we ever get home.

Hey, did anyone see that sporting event that took place last night? It was a really good game, very tense and athletic. Those players were going all out, boy was it a sight to see. I'm just glad the team I like won, otherwise I might have had to start throwing punches in the bar where I was enjoying some brewskis with the boys.

So, who's up for some drinks later, ladies?

Am I acting hetero enough? I know what they do to guys like me in this day and age, I've been watching the latest season of American Horror Story.

Darling dearest, I need a favor from you. Please.

[ Marriage. It had been on Aphrodite's mind since they had returned from Zurvan. Which by itself was odd, in reference to Ares, as she had always been content with the title of consort. So long as Ares was hers; she was happy. But to be married finally seemed like such an enthralling path to embark on with him -- even if it only counted as mortals. They were pretty much at that point, unofficially. And she loved his human daughter, Alice. In a lot of ways the young girl reminded Aphrodite of their own daughter, Harmonia.

Heck part of her was just curious to see how he'd react to the subject of marriage. They were long past hiding their relationship, obviously, and neither had significant-mortal-others to answer to. Except for her estranged husband but he was a loser and a half who had crawled into some hole somewhere. So, rationally, Ares really didn't have any reason to avoid the subject or get annoyed. Which naturally led her to decide to make a game out of it. Game meaning she'd ask him a question or two and if he answered wrong he'd sleep on the couch for a month. ]

How much do you love me?

[ filter; children ]
Lovelies, I say we go buy your father a new wardrobe because while we were stuck in that alternate universe Zurvan he looked damn good in uniform and he needs more suits. Aeneas you don't have to go if you don't want, I imagine shopping isn't at the top of your favorites list. But we do need to spend more time together, Sweetie ♥

Also, what do you all think about planning a trip to Hawaii for Christmas??

It's October next week, there's no avoiding it and it's never too early -- what is everyone thinking about for Halloween costumes?

Last year I went as a stewardess because I was in love with Pan Am, but I hate repeats. If I can't decide I could always be lazy and just throw a top and shorts on and carry my board around to be a surfer, but then I have to lug that around a party.

[FILTERED TO EROS AND ANTEROS]

You kids need anything, you let me know.

God, it feels good to be back at work properly.  I think my daughter has a bit of a crush on Euterpe's brother though. She's constantly talking about him.  Euterpe, please talk to him and explain she's a bit of a troublemaker.

I've never been so grateful for Starbucks. That was a fun time but I can't say I'd want to do it again. Well, I'm sure you all know what I mean by that.

My apartment. Now ♥

This place is a load of fucking bullshit. Married to Athena. It couldn't even be a sibling I can tolerate? Or one who is fun to pick on? Forced to sneak around with the woman I actually love because of some fucked up family duty. Bullfuckingshit. I am done with that

At least there is a war going on. War I can do. Maybe she'll get lucky and I'll make her a widow.

I miss you all dearly, even if you can be little hellions at times. Not being around for endless opportunities to tease you and rightfully make your lives more difficult is starting to weigh on me though. We need to fix this.

Such a gorgeous day out surprisingly; which means the night is likely to be even more so - it'd be a shame to have to spend it alone..


[ filter; ares ]
Darling, I need to see you. And not just for the night -- stay the weekend if you can? Make up some excuse about your men so she doesn't suspect anything. Or just leave your wife altogether, so it can be just you and I finally.

[PRIVATE]
All this waiting around is making me want to kill someone.

[PRIVATE; GALAHAD]
Being that my position and temperament does not allow me much involvement in whatever talks may be going on, I would like to ride out to the border and check on the men. If you require nothing more of me, of course.

[PRIVATE; APHRODITE]
Are you busy tonight?

[Filter: Helen]

You know I love you more than words could ever say, don't you? Thanks. For being here. I will make it up to you. Starting with getting some proper food for you delivered in here. And we'll take a trip, ok? I swear to whatever God there is I'll make you feel loved cared for beyond reason and that's only the goddamn tip of things.

You are a good wife, Helen. In your own way, you are a good wife.


Can you get me more pudding?

[Filter: Hermione]

I think you need to speak with your mother at last, darling. After everything that's happened, life's way too messed up for you to be scared of meeting with her.

[Filter: Public]

Sorry if I scared any folks. Should be all good soon.

Moving a business is a clusterfuck of paperwork and a pain in my ass. It's finally done though so thank the fuck for that. Abernathy Securities is open for business here in the great city of New York. Anyway, anyone looking for work, I could use an assistant.

I'm Henry, used to be called Ares. You see a tiny grumpy seven year old running around, that's Alice. Yes, she's always like that. No, it doesn't bother me.
