Two - Tell Them Who You Were

[purgatio]

Styx was right. Mother’s Day is the stupidest holiday to ever exist. Exactly why is it that half the city gave their mother’s gift certificates to take self-defense lessons for Mother’s Day?

I’m debating whether this is reason enough to go after my boss. The only good thing to come of this is the slight raise in paycheck. Not sure if it’s worth it

Teaching the lessons? I think I have enough time for it, just not enough patience.

...do I know you?

[purgatio]

You can delegate, which I can't.

Oh right, now it comes back. You're one of those Greeks, aren't you? From that war over Nelly or what's-her-name.

[purgatio]

Now that's somehting I can feel pity for.

Right, that's it. There may have been a distinguishing characteristic from the others in some minds, but you still are the same brand as those idiots[deleted] blind war-hungry soldiers.

Now I remember Agamemnon. He's one of those who everyone knew about during his arrival in the Underworld.

I didn't use any such term on you. And if I can't remember you it's probably a good thing on your end. Or I'm losing my memory, but I doubt that.

[purgatio]

He's more than a bit of a dick.

I don't get it, but won't question..[deleted] Didn't get a chance ot die before Cronus kicked your ass here? You must have pissed off someone to get here.

...what about Styx?

[purgatio]

Did he do something to you personally? Though I doubt it'd matter, he did more than enough to warrant anyone going after him. The Trojans in general had more of a reason or that wife - they were crazy bunch.

Miss people dying? Not part of the funeral procession. There's only so many times before you see Charon ferry the new inmates before you try and pluck your eyes out a la Lamia.

The usual one with him was that you got in the way of his toy. Or you refused him. Which was it? Either way, it's plain old idiocy to refuse him y'know.

Fantastic. Got something against her, or is it just your mother?

[purgatio]

I think the fight on who gets to kill him, will be as interesting as the actually one where he dies.

Oh. Yeah, he might have had good reason to come after you. And excuse me, but where the fuck did you get the idea to kill his son?! If that's not idiotic, I don't know what is.

And almost doesn't count, Achilles.

Good. Because if you did I'd have another reason to throw something at you. Your mother sounds foolish, to be frank.

[purgatio]

I have the feeling you all are just going to tear him apart like dogs.

There was no reason for that war, so all arguments using that as an excuse are worthless, boy. The problem is that he was an Olympian - and you quite frankly aren't and never will be. You had no reason to fight, no one did, except for maybe the Trojans. Maybe.

None of you mortals have any sense - and famous? Clearly not, if I've never heard of you. Rethink the arguments, get back to me on it - next time I'll make sure I'm actually there in person to smack you upside the head every time you say something as insipid as that.

And that wasn't what was foolish, Achilles. It was the fact she didn't do it properly. Not that it would have guaranteed much[too pissed to remember to delete it]
