I don’t mean to be rude or anything but I didn't plan on starting this week by joining a new cult. I’m sure you’re all very nice people but the email tag is super sketchy and invasive. Especially with what's been going on in the news lately. This stuff is totally the last thing California needs.

Only-

This is all very odd.

How do you even deal with this anyway? I mean If one of you says “I’m Athena Goddess of War” or whatever and the next person says, “Oy, I’m Irish and my brother is the God of War so put that in your pipe and smoke it!” who even wins? How can two people, deities, be of the same thing without causing a time ripple whenever they go near each other? Or do you cause a time ripple? Is that why you have to go all google on each other instead of talking in your face places?

Sorry. I guess it’s none of my business. You all seem like very interesting people. Uh. When I'm famous this will be a really good story to tell Conan.

Enjoy?

I can assure you we're not a cult, but things aren't going to get any easier. We were all forcibly brought here, just like you were. My name's Tess, and I'd like to help you if I can. There are a lot of good people here who can help too.

Those are some interesting questions, but so far nothing like that's happened.

Famous? What are you looking to be, hon?

Hi! It's California so it's not that we need more cults or wackiness or crazy stuff but we know how to roll with it better than anyone else in the country. I think, anyway. But I'm a native here so I'm probably a little biased but, if you're here, too, you have to agree. We're a pretty special state.

Oh, but we're not a cult. It's more like a help group, I guess you could say, or a meeting place. Not like Plenty of Fish or Match.com or anything and definitely not like Chat Roulette because that place really is crazy.

But the emails will stop now. I promise.

My name is Javi, by the way! I'm up in Berkeley. Where are you?

We deal with it by shooting "paper, rock, scissors." It's the only civilized way of handling things.

I'm just teasing. It really hasn't created a problem yet but I suppose it could some day if one of us shows up and feels particularly greedy. Though there's always some delicate politics that we have to jimmy with sometimes. I mean, what do you do with two fairy queens? Which sounds like the start of a hilarious joke, huh? :)

My name is Misha, by the by, and welcome to the funhouse!

It's almost a relief that you didn't start getting these emails until recently. Or at least that you didn't respond to the emails until now. You can see things were a little crazy there and it's better to be safe than sorry. I would rather we all be safe, to be honest.

My name is Cal Hobson and it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm a teacher up in WA.

Tough luck, kid, but you're stuck here now. If you know who you are, then it will be easier but, if you don't, you'll figure it out soon. It probably won't reassure you any but most of the old grudges are dead and gone so we can get on with our lives pretty normally for the most part.

Hi Britney, nice to meet you. I guess you've been reassured by now that we're mostly harmless. Man, you posed an interesting question. I don't know how the god power-sharing thing works besides how Titania and Mab handle it. I'm not a god, though I guess I am a legend or something.

I'm Chance, by the way. Or Sir Percival. Yeah, the Arthurian guy. I'm still figuring this all out myself.

We're kind of like one, big conglomerate family. We fight, we laugh. We have pets and have normal jobs. Mostly.

Anyway, my name's Sean, and I generally prefer it, but most around here know me as Baldr. Welcome to the fold, IdunBritney. If you have any questions, we're here to answer.

Hey, Britney, sorry I'm late to the party! Sounds like you're in good hands with the rest of the gang, so I think I'll just offer my welcome. Ric Goodman, also known around these parts as Oberon, King of the Fey. Yeah, that's three Fey royalty running around, me, Titania and Mab. It's complicated, but we haven't killed each other yet.

You're an actress, you said, here in LA? We'll have to do lunch at some point!
