mythopoeics

Now this isn't so bad, is it? I happen to like everything I'm wearing, the cars, the lifestyle, etc. Apparently I should be settling down soon, according to my parents, but that would mean I cared about what my parents thought I should do with my life. I'll do what I please, as I always do.

I hope they've told you the same, or I'm going to throw Ursula at them.

My car may have been reduced to a pulp for no apparent reason. I can't wait to try and explain this to the insurance company.

I got a care package from mom.

There was a bunny in it. It's brown and tiny and stares at me.

From what I'm reading, I had a pretty sweet deal in Niflheim. Family, you still want to keep in touch? No hard feelings if you don't.

[ filter; syrinx ]
Look, about what happened. I didn't know it was you.

At least I'm not fighting that dumbass war. I'm counting my blessings.

How curious. How did I forget about this for so long? It has been such a long time for remembering. Such a long time.

Theseus...Do you remember, too? You are my brother but you are not my brother. What a curious phenomenon.

Does this happen a lot? It's a good thing I didn't get a goldfish before I was disappeared...This is like waking up to find you are in Wonderland. I wonder where the looking-glass is. Or the rabbit hole.

I thought you all should know that I'm enjoying my time in Babylon quite a bit. The prince is a good host and has been taking excellent care of me. I hope things are going well back home, I miss you all.

[ filter; public ]
Babylon is a really pretty place to visit, although I'm not sure I'd want to live here all the time. Though, the people I've met so far are wonderful.

I showed mother my new hat :) and then she found out the ambassador of Babylon is looking for your toy. Mother says we should make your little thing disappear sooner. I already started.

If anyone knows any information regarding the whereabouts a woman named Syrinx, please let me know immediately.  Even if they're just rumors.  Anything that leads to finding her will be monetarily rewarded.

I heard of the fire and- please let me know you're all fine.  I don't even care about the crops, just be fine.

[Filter: All citizens of Babylon]
Because the Sultan has been silent on the matter, I decided it is my duty to inform you of our region's current situation.  I understand our decision will not be a popular one, but the necessity of it was not taken lightly.  We have secured a path through Babylon along the border of Camelot for soldiers of Nilfheim and Iriy to pass through in exchange for a toll.  We have military forces guarding that path in case of incident, but we have assurance from both countries that there should not be any problems that would lead to Babylonian land or people being harmed.  Please do not be alarmed by their presence and let us all hope that this war is swift.  In the meantime, please keep to the main cities of Babylon and limit your travel through those designated areas.

How are you settling in the house? I have another favor to ask of you.

I feel like most everyone I know has been traveling lately. Maybe I should take some of the money I've save up and go somewhere else for a trip too. Except, maybe now isn't the best time, there's been more cranky people in needing things written up than usual, which must mean something is upsetting them.

I'll think about it.

Not a bad catch, self.

Hi :)

I've come to the decision that I need to learn to defend myself. I do know how to shoot but if I was in trouble and there was no gun or someone to aide me, I would be in great danger. So, that goes on the ever growing list of things I wish to accomplish.

[Private to Charon]
I'm sorry.
You will be...

I think a change of occupation is in order. Here I am a young stranger. I don't blame pregnant women for having a hard time trusting me.

My cousins may very likely wipe each other out someday, and I don't want to be rotting away in this house when it happens. Dear Maker, send me a girl willing to stay longer than a week at the inn, will you? Not that those two have anything in common.

Pan, stop talking to yourself.

The girl I had in bed with me last night called me a different name in the throes of ecstasy. Should I be offended? I don't think I give two shits. I don't remember her name, anyway. Lucy? Trucy?

Hey there.

[The night was much nicer and she found herself sitting up in her room, dressed in a silvery-white dress she'd found, and painting her toenails. Her window was open. The night was always cooler and she rarely dressed in anything heavy enough to warrant discomfort.

As she finished with the nailpolish, she set the bottle aside carefully after closing it. She'd already spilled one this week. Another would just be tragic. She pulled her computer over, humming softly as it booted up. Leaning against the wall, she looked out the window at the moon. It was half gone. Natural as it was, she still wondered at it. It was still beautiful and with it, she felt beautiful.]

Blue is a perfect color. The moon is half gone. I've been watching it outside my window. I cannot wait for the full moon, to see it in all its beauty. Will you admire it like I do? So many slumbering people...

[Filter: Private]
I will find you Endymion and you'll never escape from me again. I will make sure.

So I've learned waking up to a bunny rabbit isn't nearly as satisfying as a house full of servants. I'm hiring a maid. She'll be Eastern-European and speak little to no English, but her face and assets will be fantastic.

[She'd seen the list, knew who would battling for the most part. No, Loki's name did not pass her by but her lips tightened over the sight of that once comforting name. Angrboda did not release grudges as if they were nothing, allowing them to fester inside of her. This was who she had been long ago and remained.

Whether the same could be said of Loki...

No. She wouldn't entertain the name or person longer than she had. Her mind moved on to the other things, other people.]

...that awkward moment when you're talking music with a classmate and they ask you your favorite song and you reply 'Somebody To Love' which they respond to by asking if you have Beiber-fever, so you have to restrain your inherent rage to inform them you meant Queen, though Jefferson Airplane also did the song.

It is much to early in the morning for me to have to deal with this without having had my morning mocha latte, so let me express my feelings via a cunning series of macros.

( These say it all... )

The best musical moment in cartoon history. However, don't watch if you're afraid of clowns. I really need a gig or something to get me out of this apartment. Right now, I think I'd even take a semi-regular job. I should not have had enough time on my hands to actually seriously contemplate which video to choose.

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya..

Actually it's Nate. Though some know me as Gabriel. I'm a Leo; I like average walks through the city, traveling, talking for hours on end, and I will eat anything you put in front of me that has an unhealthy amount of sugar. So what's the buzz, tell me what's happening?

Who do I know, who don't I know, who should I know? Talk to me, Goose!

I have never thought I would see my mortal father hanging around with my mother. My real mother. I think the image is now burnt on the back of my eyelids.

They gave me Apollo. They gave me this imitation of him and expect me to be happy? Screw you. I swear, if I ever get my place back, I'll give you this a thousand fold back.

[Azazel's perfect world should have been a harem of men waiting at his every beck and call. But it wasn't. In his perfect world, he had a family who loved him unconditionally. His family included not only the mortal parents who had disowned him, but all the other Blackwells, and his two sisters from Zurvan. And he certainly didn't mind the presence of Samael's lovely little concubines. They weren't exactly the Brady Bunch but Azazel was having one hell of a good time. In the back of his mind he knew it wasn't real, that it couldn't possibly last forever, but why not enjoy it while it was?]

Bottomless supply of wine. Check.

Every season of Project Runway. Check.

I would invite some of you over to partake in this glorious fiesta, but my flat is literally filled up!

I don't know what you're all complaining about, because in my flat, things are pretty pantastic fantastic.

This wasn't cute at first. And it is not growing any more endearing as the days go on.

[It had been a couple of days since he had met Hermes. The pigeon comment shouldn't have weighed on his mind but it did. He was reminded of the little bastard that had come into his home, shat all over the place and then had escaped through the most clever of ways. It would have been more impressive if Thanatos had not wanted to murder the damn bird. It had been someone, he knew that much.

Most recently, his favourite nephew brought up Hermes. The thief, the swift messenger of the gods. Silver-tongued and manipulative. Why if he didn't know any better...

And then it all finally sank in.]

Hermes, you motherfucking, cocksucking whoreson.

What is wrong with the guys that go to NYU, seriously? In what realm of logic do you think walking up to some fine young thang in the coffee shop while she's writing away and quoting lyrics from a Young Money slow jam is going to make her swoon?

I mean really, of the myriad possibilities for lyrical come-ons you go with - 'Call me Mr. Flintstone, I can make ya bed rock' - and are shocked, nay stunned, when I just roll my eyes and go back to working on my thesis? Bitch, please, I can't think of any self-respecting sober woman who would fall for that. Save those lines for the frat parties and keggers, the hipsters prefer Jack White, or even Conor Oberst.

In some countries in Southeast Asia the New Year is celebrated tomorrow - Songkran or Pi-Mai Lao. Which include splashing each other with water. It makes me wish someone here hosted something like that, but Morpheus would never go for it.

Where is my favourite auntie? I want to go out and party like it's Nineteen Ninety-Nine. I want to go out and party like it's the twenty-first century and it's New fucking York and there are no mazes and no outdoors.

My entire oven turned into a turkey. By the time I stopped laughing, I decided to just smuggle it out and let it go in the park. I'm sure someone has found it by now. Not my problem if they haven't. I am, however, keeping the puppy that used to be my car. My six-figure Benz into...a puppy.

It's licking my toes right...no, no. Pawing my pant leg now, looking at me with its pale blue eyes. Reminds me of a girl I spent a week with in Finland.

Someone please explain this shit to me. Because I'd like my normal life back now.
