It would seem this email is the basis of an advanced network designed solely to entice gods of varying myths and legends. I can never recall any time when I would be considered a god, though I hesitate to assume the system is mistaken. Am I meant to be Hades? Satan? Thanatos? I have heard a dozen names for similar figures, yet none seem to fit. Still, I cannot discount my own abilities. I am clearly not an ordinary man.

Tell me, then: who am I meant to be?

Greek pantheon, sweetness. I don't think any of us returned are of Greek heritage in this lifetime.

And a daimon is a spirit of sorts worshipped in Greece. Some were good, some less than friendly, but they contributed to a household's everyday fortunes. To have good luck in those days was to have good daimones watching out for you, for instance.

Ah.

My luck has been neither good or poor. Am I a good daimon?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

How to phrase this delicately? It's not that you were a bad daimon, dear. Neutral, if anything. It's just that your duties came about as a result of unfortunate circumstances.

You released the souls of the slain, pet, so they could be guided to the Underworld.

It makes sense. I do not much mind if I was bad instead of good. I only wonder what difference it makes in my presence here and now. If I am Phonos, why am I also Benjamin Roth?

We've all been brought back, dear, and are as much human as we are who we used to be. I am Callista Lovelace, editor of Mode Moderne. I am also Aphrodite, and the mother of immortal twins.

Why have we been brought back?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Now that is an excellent question. I imagine it has something to do with reasserting our power over humanity, but not before we've learned a few things about the human condition.

[unbiaseddeath.insanejournal.com]

If what you say is true, then Gaia seems to have made a mistake with me. I seem unable to understand the human condition as a human.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

How do you mean, pet?

Sorry for delay :c

I struggle with an understanding of human emotions. My parents had me see a therapist about it when I was younger. It fits my profession, but I remain a poor example of humanity.

That pesky real-life monster. The attacks are always ambushes.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Trust me, my sweet, there is more to understanding the human condition than mere emotional connections. I suppose if you wanted to discuss things further, you'd be welcome to drop by. I'm here in New York as well.

Indeed.

[unbiaseddeath.insanejournal.com]

Where? I would be interested, certainly.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

I have a penthouse in Midtown.

[unbiaseddeath.insanejournal.com]

Thank you. I will take you up on that offer, if the need arises.
