Working in a funeral home can be unnerving enough for some people. More so as things start printing of their own accord...

What's this all about, then?

Melinoe!?

I can assure you your funeral home is not haunted, but there is a lot to explain that will sound..to be honest quite mad.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I know it isn't haunted. They actually only mostly stay around for a few days to stay goodbye. It is the phantom printing of paper in the offices that has my boss and coworkers on edge.

... I know you, don't I.

[blood-dog.insanejournal.com]

Hey, kiddo. Welcome to the asylum. Don't worry about the printing thing. It'll stop now.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

I have noticed the distinct overabundance of paper in the printer feed since it's stopped.

Asylum, eh?

[darkmystery.insanejournal.com]

They really have to get a new way to get people's attention other than killing trees, shit.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

It's effective, I admit. That is, of course, if the spam-like email isn't enough.

Hey, there! You work in a funeral home? Man, I bet that's both cool and creepy. My name is Javi and it's nice to meet you. One of the other guys around here will probably have about a million questions for you about the funeral home, by the way. Just a heads up!

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

I am not as unaccustomed to it as you may think. As a matter of fact, it's quite up my alley, as they say here in America.

Nice to meet you, Javi. My name is Mariana.

[ieter-amumon.insanejournal.com]

Well, I must say this is an unexpected surprise. Welcome, my dear.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

...I am going to venture a guess and say that you are of the Olympian sort...

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Is it unnerving for you? Working in a funeral home?

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Not really, no. In fact, I find it quite calming.

[queen-of-purim.insanejournal.com]

Hi there! Sorry about the printer issues--they've startled all of us. The good news is that part's over now.

I'm Hada Morgenstern. It's nice to meet you.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

So I'm told, and I am glad to hear it.

Likewise, Hada. I am Mariana Perales.

[aegletes.insanejournal.com]

Ah, little sister! So good of you to rejoin us.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Hm. I am assuming that each of us here are gods of some sort or another, and I admit that it took me a bit to figure out who you are. I think it is because I have only interacted with you so few times so very long ago.

Much like the rest of you Olympians, Apollo.

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

Better get used to it, shug. This kinda shit is just the beginning.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

I suspect that a gathering of gods has a much deeper meaning than exchanging general pleasantries.

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Hi there! I'm Amber. Welcome to the group!

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Hello, Amber. I am Mariana. And thank you.

Who else are you, if I may be so bold?

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

It's complicated, but we're not given a lot of options in the matter.

I'm so glad you're here, and so terrified who might try to get hooks in you.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Hello, Mama.

It has brought me to you, and to Papa. For that, I cannot complain.

[unbiaseddeath.insanejournal.com]

Are you certain the printer is not suffering a user error?

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

No, no. I assure you that this is not the case. Even after powering the printer off and unplugging it... it should not print a thing.

Since I have ventured here, though, it has stopped.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Greetings, cousin. I trust you are well?

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

As well as can be expected in such a time.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Hi, there! My name is Misha. Welcome to our special little group here. I see you already know all about it so you might as well know that I'm also Titania. It's a pleasure.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Hello, Misha. Do you prefer your mortal name, or your true name?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Hello! Do you remember me? I hope so...

You've certainly come at an exciting time!

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Why so exciting, if I might ask?

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Hmmm. Not and Egyptian. But welcome anyway.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Thank you for the welcome, though I'm sorry to disappoint you.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Hello, there. My name is Cal Hobson. It looks like you've already got your answers about what this is all about but, believe me, it's a lot more welcoming that you would think. I'm also Bes of the Egyptians.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Hello, Cal. Or... Bes. Which do you prefer while you're amongst our company?

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Hey, sorry about the rude awakening. I guess we all have to go through minor hazing first. But glad you're here.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Seems I am not the only one who received such an invitation.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Welcome, pet. Good to have you with us. We can always use the numbers.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Pet? Well, I thank you for the welcome.

[knavish-sprite.insanejournal.com]

Ah, a new face! And what joyous company do we have among us?

Oh, hallo, Chris Pine. lol

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

The mortal world knows me as Mariana, but under normal circumstances, I am Melinoe.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, it's pretty unnerving for everyone. No worries, though.

Hi, I'm Alan Cleary. Or Coach. Or Big Al, as some of the kids like to call me. Also known as Ogma of the Celts.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Hello, Alan. Or Ogma. Do you have a preference?

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

In my experience, genuine possession of machinery is actually quite rare.

Still, you are quite welcome here. I'm Father Leo.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

Hello, padre. And I thank you.

You've no need to speak to me about possession. My parents might take a great deal of interest in the subject, however.

[keepswhatishers.insanejournal.com]

You work at a funeral home? An unusual job for a young girl.

[meli-mollifies.insanejournal.com]

I'm older than you may believe, and it has been a very good job for me.
