Okay, fine. I followed the link, registered, and now I'm here.

Will someone please explain why it's so damned important I join the community?

Putting your proud papa on the throne of Olympus is the only detail you need.

Not just "one" of his. I am the son of Poseidon. His second-in-command. His lieutenant. Commander of his armies. And the sole trueborn heir.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

And to you, Uncle.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Not when it's cold enough to freeze a man's scales off.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

That I can do.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

We'll see.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Well it does prove out the men from the boys.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Just the three that I've met. I've only been doing this for a week.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Where the hell are you these days?

And I AM his daughter.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Princeton, Father. I'm a third-year pre-law student there, majoring in political science. Also vice-president of the student government, chapter president of Chi Phi, and leader of the lightweight crew and water polo teams. We just started classes this week.

Where are you?

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Hmm. Don't recognize you. You must be one of his bastards. Pretty enough, though, I suppose. What was your mother? A nymph? Some minor goddess?

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Trying to show off with that list? Will take more than that to impress me, kid.

New York. Divorce lawyer.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Ah. So you're new to the game too.

I am NOT his bastard! He met my mother in college. She was not a godess, nymph or immortal.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

As you say, Father.

New York? I was born in New York. My mortal parents still live there, or, my mother does, anyway. My other dad is a Marine, so he's overseas right now. What name do the mortals call you now?

[Chelsea: Filter]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

...oh. You're a mortal, then. How... disappointing.

[Chelsea: Filter]

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

WHY is that disappointing?! I'm still his daughter and HE raised me thank you!

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Oh? Still showing off?

Lucas Dylan Straka.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

No, Father. It's just... that explains a lot.

[Chelsea: Filter]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

So... you can't do anything with the water? No powers at all?

[Chelsea: Filter]

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Nothing with the water. Not YET anyways. Who's to say I won't? I'm not useless to him if that's what you think! There isn't anything he won't do for me---even with you here.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Spit it out, boy. What does that mean?

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

My mother used to say I reminded her of you, and if she didn't know better, she'd almost believe me your son. I only had a name, though. I never knew anything further about you. Her name is Meredith Murphy. I don't know if you remember her.

Tell me you at least felt the hurricane in your blood when Irene hit up here.
