Labyrinthine OOC

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've come back home for the weekend, and while I'd hoped to visit and relax and still have time to be online some, that online time may be cut shorter than I'd like. Granddad's in the hospital and so there is going to be more time spent there, but I will check in when I can.

Karen, let me know if you'd like to get Athena and Adrestia talking, and Kari, Adrian is available for Troian, if you like! Also, Gina and Cherie - your boys haven't been forgotten and are missed, so if you'd like to get them into trouble, just let any of us know!

Take care, everyone - talk to you soon!

xoxo

Okay, sorry for the wordy stuff, but I just wanted to put everything out there, and I'll screen the comments to this entry so that anyone who wants to comment on the down low may do so, or contact Gracie, Fan and I privately if you have any specific questions or issues.

And just to get that poking out of my system - the threads are up for the party with Komos and the gathering at Olympus - feel free to jump in.

We are the Borg. We will assimila-- err.

That is to say, hey guys. Good to meet you all. I'm Cherie, and I am absolutely available for plotting and so on via email or AIM. Do let me know if you want to drop me a line, however, as I think my AIM is not set to receive IMs from non-buddies. Sarah's been talking about this lovely game she's a part of for the past couple of days. I'm (not really) afraid that she rather caught and held our (mine and Gina's) interest, and you'll now be subjected to all manner of unseemly behavior on the part of the Terror Twins.

I play Deimos, who is a bit more of a handful than his counterpart. Phobos is definitely what you'd consider to be the "good" twin, but don't let that fool you into thinking that he's the lesser of two evils. He's not. Deimos, however, is inclined to take dad's approach to things and punch whatever it is in the face. Repeatedly.

He delights on picking on his siblings, particularly Eros whose fluffy wings are just are kind of asking for it. Generally, though, it's done out of a warped sense of love and familial duty. Don't let him catch anyone else picking on them, though. Yeah, hypocrite much?

Mom's a lovely, lovely horror (you can't pretend that waxing and so on aren't horrifying, mom, don't even start) who he really doesn't know quite how to handle, and dad's just... well, dad. Dad's the boss. Any other familiar relationships (and even those, no doubt) will have to be worked out in time.

When he's not breaking things, be they toys or cars, he's working in dad's shop or indulging in the kind of shameless hedonism that you make expect of an Ares/Aphrodite spawn. He's fairly neutral in regards to current events, except that he'll nearly always side with dad, and wars are awfully fun to partake in. Uncle D, just wait, they're going to take the dog for a walk through your casino yet.

Hello, all. I figured I should introduce myself, and my character, and also send out a general request for plotting.

I'm Gina, and I'm available for plotting or general chatting on AIM or by email.

I'm playing Phobos, son of Ares and Aphrodite, twin to Deimos. Phobos is the manifestation of the horror of war, and he definitely takes after his father more than his mother. He's not as impulsive as his brother, though; he views conflict and chaos as an art form, and will plan accordingly. He'll start with manipulation instead of brute force when he wants something, and it's generally his job to either keep Deimos out of trouble, or clean up the mess after. Phobos is inclined toward a certain amount of familial responsibility to his siblings, respects his father and is reluctantly fond of his mother. Everyone else, as far as he's concerned, is just there to provide amusement.

When he's in town, he spends his time working in Ares's garage, doing custom paint work on cars and trying to keep Deimos in line. They have somewhat recently returned from a stint overseas (playing cruel games in war zones), drawn by the current unrest and the whispers of conflict. Phobos doesn't much care about the destruction of the Throne, per-se, but the threat of violence it's stirred up is quite delightful, and he'll follow his father's lead when it comes time to throw down- Ares always finds the best bloodshed.

I am quite eager to leap into things, and am happy to talk about threads. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi, Ely here!

First off - the time line, claimed character list and the community user info page have been updated.

Secondly - I've succumbed to two new characters. You know how it is, you're innocently sitting there at the computer, minding your own business and WHAM!

This is Adrestia, and she is the goddess of revenge and balance, daughter of Ares and Aphrodite. In fact, she'll likely be dropping by to say hello to Daddy soon, but if anyone is interested in a thread with her, please just let me know.

The other is Jared Chase, Society Member and Healer. He's a bit of a hypochondriac and a bit socially awkward, but he assures me that if I had any real idea of the illnesses and diseases out there, I'd consider every sniffle a harbinger of certain death, as well.

And my other little, not so quiet voices would like me to point out that they are up for play time, a well. I also just wanted to say that I'm loving what you all are putting out there - fantastic stuff. THANK YOU.

Hi everyone,

It's Fan' again. And this time, it's not even Ely's fault, but entirely Vae's.

Meet Nikola, who you might know as Nikki. She's Eva's PA. She's very good at what she does but, ultimately, doesn't really care about the whole gods thing - not that she tells that to anyone. On her very, very, very very few days off, she makes up for her workaholic life by partying like there's no tomorrow.

Society members - she probably knows you, she knows everyone and makes it a point to chat with everyone. She's very easy-going and nice and she's totally a people person. Every good PA is.

If any of you wants to discuss connections of one form or another, let me know!

And I couldn't resist a plain, ordinary human type, with no ties to date, no biases, no knowledge. She's a blank slate, people.

Michaela is NY-based, but she's a freelance journalist, so she travels. She's been through Europe, she's been all over the states. She's gone through a half dozen sets of roomates since graduating college at Penn State.

And she's coming to play, so feel free to corrupt her currently unbiased mind. :)

(This is Sarah.)

( I don't know when to say it. )

He'll be stretching his legs and going walk-about in the next few days.

(Assuming the Army Corps of Engineers doesn't blast us into a freaking earthquake.)
