Funny, with all the differences between this place and home, one of the ones that stands out the most is the lack of my usual resources. I keep thinking I should call someone up, get a second look in case I'm missing something ( Read more... )

I'm always willing to be a resource! I know enough about things from my world anyway, should you ever need a cross reference on that.

Nothing better than an actual person from the distant past, hm?

...And I kind of like poking at things and pretending to be scientific. So. Win-win, I think.

Now I'm imagining ancient deities in lab coats. I'll never get that image out of my head.

How have you been doing?

I'm requisitioning myself one now. Just so you know.

The past few days have been... interesting. How have you been?

This, I've got to see.

All right, as far as that goes here. I've been keeping busy, anyway.

Something wrong?

I'll be sure to wear it next time I see you.

Any luck with the research? Did you still want my help?

I can't say his name -- he says he can track me that way if I do -- but some guy showed up and threatened me with the Underworld again, acting like my husband. You can imagine how that went.

Some. I think I might have a decent starting point. And yeah, I'd be happy for some help.

Hmm. That's inconvenient. I wonder what he is, then...

Does he have some connection with your husband, or was he just getting off on messing with you?

Tomorrow, perhaps? I'm going to be moving into a new building today and I don't know how long that's going to take, really. Glad I have so few things, though.

The last one, I think, taking into consideration some of his conversations with my friends.

Doesn't make me hate him any less, though.

Tomorrow, then.

Let me know if you need a hand moving.

[Screened; Unhackable]

I didn't think it would. But if he's not a god of some sort himself, that does make him easier to deal with if it becomes necessary.

I will, thank you!

[Screened // Unhackable]

I suppose so... Still. I'd rather not have to deal with him, if I can.

That's usually the safest option.

Let me know if you need a hand there, too.

I might take you up on that, actually.

Robin suggested a spell of protection, but... Frankly I'm annoyed with myself. That was a terrible moment of weakness on my part.

You're allowed not to be strong all of the time. We all have our weak points.

Even so, it irked me all the same.

What would you do differently next time?

...Not run away screaming and crying, mostly.

Stand up and face him.

It sounds like what you need most is more confidence in your own strength, then. It isn't easy, facing your fear, but it can be done.
