Ah - I've just arrived, and I'm very happy to learn about these apartment arrangements. I was a bit worried about the men and women sharing rooms, but apparently I'm to be roomed with the great Ladies, Demeter and Hestia, so there's no need to worry about that

...oh gods.

You are ... Agamemnon's daughter, are you not?

[iffygenes]

Yes, I'm Iphigenia - his oldest child, daughter of Clytemnestra.

I'm sorry, I do not recognize your name...who do you happen to be? please don't be I've forgotten the name of one of the great Goddesses...

[blessedwithsuck]

Iphigenia... I had heard of you, yes.

I am no goddess. I used to be a princess, but now I am just a woman and I think I may be happier that way. Cassandra, but many call me Cassie. Has... any told you what happened?

[iffygenes]

Really? I am very surprised - I wasn't much of anybody as far as I know.

A princess? Like me then - I've not had enough time as just a woman rather than a princess to know if I prefer it this way. (And I've only been a woman as a princess for a little before arriving here!)

Not really, all I know from Lord Achilles is that I died - but everybody dies - and Lady Hygeia says I got hurt...I don't suppose you, would be willing to inform me of what ocurred?

[blessedwithsuck]

...I had a brief meeting with your parents.

By modern times you are still a girl, or perhaps a young woman. Childhood has been extended much farther now, it allows for a lot more carefree times. You are rooming with two elder women now? Good, what of 'normally' when things are set right once more?

...It was a war. Many got hurt, and many died.

[iffygenes]

Oh, was it after I arrived here? My memory fades right as I was mounting the steps to where...to where Lord Achilles' and mine betrothal was to be taken care of. If it was after, how were they?

Still a girl? Well that's certainly a downside to this time... though these bathroom things are just amazing... Yes, I'm rooming with Ladies Demeter and Hestia - I'm quite lucky to be with them, who are you with, Cassandra?

...during the war? It hadn't started quite yet when I left because Father was still trapped because he angered Lady Artemis. My Uncle was a terrible sight to see in those days because he missed my Aunt Helen...

[blessedwithsuck]

Your father was on the winning side of the war. He returned home triumphant. A betrothal to Achilles, you say?

I am with Eris, Hygeia and Achilles, actually. A welcome change from my previous unasked for roommates.

...I would imagine. It sounds terrible.

[iffygenes]

He won? I'm glad for him - yes, right before I arrived here I became betrothed to Lord Achilles - could hardly believe it, he's just so strong, and well handsome and everything...I'm typing too much, aren't I?

Hygeia and Lord Achilles? Funny the only ones I've talked to so far are all in the same room! (aside from Lady Artemis...oh I really hope I did nothing to offend her...)

Paris did steal his wife after all - Menelaus was just a fury...

[blessedwithsuck]

Not at all. It is... good to have things that we can be happy for.

I suspect we are the social room, in that case. I find that thought bothersome for reasons I can't quite place.

Yes. He did. But Paris was given the time and opportunity to do so by Aphrodite. If you curse his name for what happened, she should be in it as well.

[iffygenes]

I can see why perhaps rooming with Eris might be...uncomfortable, but the others do seem lovely. Did you know Achilles back during the war?

...I don't think I knew that about Lady Aphrodite. I won't curse his name then, as Lady Aphrodite tends to show her wrath in very strange ways...

[blessedwithsuck]

Only by reputation. If I ever saw him it was from a distance that I would not be able to swear upon his identity aside from his recognizable armor. I doubt he knew of me at all.

Of all things, it was a gift. Those are the ones we need to watch most for, it seems.

[OOC: CASSIE IS SO TACTFUL ABOUT THE WAR THING. WATCH HER BE TACTFUL]

[iffygenes]

...intriguing.

Gifts can - what's the word, it was used somewhere - backfire strangely I suppse. Like Cronus sending us here - it can be looked at either way, am I wrong?

[OOC: GINA'S MUN IS WATCHING AND NUDGING GINA TO UNDERSTAND.]

[blessedwithsuck]

That is absolutely correct. Many are upset with the whole ordeal, but honestly I for one could not be happier.

[OOC: Cassie will come clean about everything soon enough, just.GINA HAS A LOT TO DEAL WITH ALREADY. Poor girl. Cassie, while taken much before her death, had already Seen it all coming.]

[iffygenes]

I guess in general the mortals are enjoying this more than the former immortals. What are you doing in order to 'fit in'?

[OOC: I think Cassie's got it just as bad if not worse...(except for the y'know, hot guy actually wants her and it isn't illegal for him to...) Ah, the dramatics!]

[blessedwithsuck]

We have far more experience in the matter of mortality. I am... working. Here and there, where I can. I am having a bit of a difficult time 'fitting in', but so far I have managed.

Although I'm going to get fired soon.

[OOC: Except she wants nothing to do with said hot guy and he's really mean I mean did you see some of the stuff Apollo said to her? DRAMATICS.]

[iffygenes]

Yes, we definitely do. Working? Do you enjoy it despite your difficult times?

Fired soon? Did they give you a warning? Oh I'm sorry - hopefully you'll find work somewhere else...?

[OOC: Yeah, but then again people change...hopefully? Anyway, Gina doesn't know any of that or anything....]
