Really?

Okay, the first hour of this was cute, but really do you know how hard it is to tell your commanding officer you were late to a drill because you had to answer an email? Thanks for the K.P. Duty. What is this anyway, some kind of joke?

Sorry--we've all gone through it. It'll stop now. Sorry to hear you got stuck with KP.

Anyway, welcome. I'm Denise. I'm sure your group members will be greeting you soon, and they'll get you up to speed.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

That's a small blessing at least. But what do you mean by group members? Someone is actually going to show up on base?

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

I doubt it, but you can work out the details with them. I know you're not with the Greeks, though.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

Greeks? No? Who are the Greeks? That sounds like a sports team.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Er, no. Greek pantheon. The denizens of Olympus. Or, we used to be, anyway.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

Oh. I uhm, sounded like an idiot then. Sorry.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Oh, no, you're fine. We've had worse things said about us.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, but I don't like sounding stupid and that sort of made me sound really dumb.

But nice to meet you!

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. It's nice meeting you, too. If you're interested, I used to be known as Ariadne, but, just because I used to be a princess doesn't mean anything in this day and age.

Well, it does have some meaning after all. She was a past self, and that is just as important in the way of karma.

Who was she?

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

The eldest daughter of King Minos and Queen Pasiphae of Crete. You've heard of Theseus and the Minotaur? Theseus would have been Minotaur chow without me. I was the one who snuck him the ball of thread and the sword, and then the creep left me on an island halfway back to Athens.

Like I said, doesn't really matter now.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

I've heard of the Minotaur and that maze of his, but that's the extent of it.

That's harsh, leaving you though. But at least now if you saw them you could totally punch them or something.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

It's probably not necessary. It's been a long time. Besides, back then, I really traded up. Instead of marrying an Athenian prince, I married a god.

[lionheaded.insanejournal.com]

Now that sounds like a good trade off!

Who did you marry?
