It looks like one can't go to Europe and back without missing radical changes. Fair enough, this is New York, after all. If the city slept for even a second, I'd be counting on a second Ragnarok. Though that would be interesting...

In case anyone's forgotten me, I'm Vincent Geroux. But I hear I'm not the only Vincent around these parts (my inner ( Read more... )

persephone, zeus, pheme, artemis, hermes

Do we have reasons to?

Re: [ filter ] xpolytropos November 11 2011, 09:58:06 UTC

I was your little errand boy for a good few centuries; I'd say that's worth a thought every so often.

You are...?

That's what internet is for nowadays.

I wonder.

Re: [ filter ] xpolytropos November 11 2011, 10:02:42 UTC

Then let me assure you, I have hardly become obsolete.

Come now, surely a name in exchange for a name is not so bad?

Unless you have wings again, perhaps.

Katherine.

Re: [ filter ] xpolytropos November 11 2011, 10:12:26 UTC

Who needs wings when one has hands? And I am very good with my hands.

Beautiful name. Katherine - katharos, pure. Would it be safe to assume you were one of the virgin goddesses?

If you say so. This means we can still use you as messenger boy?

Don't be so formal. Doesn't suit you. Who else would I be?

Re: [ filter ] xpolytropos November 11 2011, 10:28:42 UTC

Maybe, maybe not. Depends if I like the challenge.

Why, and here I thought I was being all slick. I'm almost offended. Well, Artemis, looks like our banter hasn't changed.

Little boys.

Risking bursting your bubble, no. Aren't you all warm and comfortable now? I felt you deserved a proper welcome.

Re: [ filter ] xpolytropos November 11 2011, 10:35:30 UTC

As they say, the boys never change. The toys only get bigger.

How thoughtful of you. I knew there was a reason we were once related. Anyway, I hope this reincarnation's been good to you?

[ filter ] onceabove November 11 2011, 10:39:25 UTC

So does the ego.

I know. ...that depends. It has its upsides in comparison with the ones before. I still prefer the first. You?

Re: [ filter ] xpolytropos November 11 2011, 10:42:41 UTC

There is one more thing, but I'll respect the name your current reincarnation bears, eh?

They're all the same. I live, I die, I live again. It's always an adventure.

I live in the 21st century, Hermes. Doubt anything you'll say will break my mind apart.

Might become more interesting from now on.

Re: [ filter ] xpolytropos November 11 2011, 10:57:15 UTC

You see, it is because you live in the 21st century that you are all the more delicate. Phalli were everywhere in Greece! Must you shoot me down when I try to be a gentleman?

So I hope. I've been hearing about some recent tragedy. May I ask what happened?

[ filter ] onceabove November 11 2011, 11:05:50 UTC

Would I be myself if I didn't?

I died. ..no. Enough of that. We were transported to a Hotel. It wasn't the nicest stay.

Re: [ filter ] xpolytropos November 11 2011, 11:09:50 UTC

Touché.

Wait, what? How are you still here? A Hotel, you say? What forces were you up against?
