Should we go with Melinoe? It isn't our place, but I'm not sure can I refuse the summoning.

I miss the darkness. When I would fly through the night, sending the Day back to bed, it was so dark. You could see every star, every galaxy. Now, you barely see the stars for the city lights. Even out in the country where the city isn't all-encompassing, you still only get a fraction of what there once was. I miss... so many things from before. How do you cope with remembering who you were with becoming who you will be?

I feel...incredibly out of sorts. And I don't even know why. My job is suited to my skills. My family is here. I remember who I am. So why do I feel like it isn't enough? My power isn't going to come back faster just because I want it to, I've accepted that. I just. Feel like I've lost the plot of my own life.

Today's fashion is fascinating to me. What was once a sign of financial distress is now considered the height of good taste. Where flowing was once the way, form-fitting is now one of the best options. I went shopping for a while this week for a few new things and was just amazed at the sheer number of easily accessible dresses there were. No longer do you have to wait weeks for someone to make something for you. I think it is convenient, but I'm wondering if the personal style is being sacrificed to the name of good fashion.

Where in the city is the best to see the stars with as little light pollution as possible?

I'd like to have you all over for dinner soon. I know we talked about this late last year, but it never came to fruition. I am still learning so much about this world, and so much is returning to me. However, I feel stronger - and I think Erebus does as well - when I am surrounded by you. Does the 11th work? You are all, of course, welcome to bring guests.

Tonight is the longest night of the year. How are you celebrating it? Or do you long for the longest day of the year?

I still can't wrap my head around what happened even these few weeks that have passed. I don't know how to comprehend all of this or that something so unexplained. No I guess we know what caused it, just not so easy to wrap one's head around it.

People are hurting and they need kindness and help.

I think I want to take a trip to Poughkeepsie to see what I can do. Maybe nothing but I have to try. would anyone like to come with me?

I'd like another gathering of us all. It does me well to see you all in one place, though I understand you all have lives and occupations that may make this difficult.

By the by Charon - are you ever coming back?

um... UM.. WHAT THE FUCK?!

["Atropos, no, this is a terrible idea."

"I can't believe you're saying that to me, Lash. After the shitshow that was yesterday?"

"Yes, fine, it was, but do you really need to keep fanning the flames?"

"If they're going to act like children? Yes. Fuck yes. Now move, or I move you."]

Alright, children. [And in this instance, I don't give two shits how old you are. You act like children, I address you like children.]

Look. I'm well aware that tempers are running very high. Lots of things were said that made people angry. And all that fallout will be dealt with separately. However. That isn't the point of this post. All of you are giving Kronos exactly what he wants. The fighting amongst ourselves is playing right into his hands, how are we supposed to prepare for whatever's coming if we're too busy squabbling?

And you know all of us. And how we are. We're content to let you mostly get along as you see fit. However. If we feel it necessary, we will intervene. Don't make us do that. We have stuff to be doing. Like managing that stupid Loom.

Come on, fall. You're here now. Can you please start to feel like it? I'm tired of 80 degree days.

Who all is around? I've found Hypnos. I would like to see my family.
