Are we all confessing now? Okay, then. Guess it's my turn.

Hi all. I used to be Ariadne, Princess of Crete.

Greetings Ariadne. I am Nimue of Camelot.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Oh, good. Nice to know I'm not the only mortalborn woman on here.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

No. Sir Gawain is with us as well.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

I noticed! But, last I checked, he wasn't a woman.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Ha! All right. You have a point. He is most definitely not a woman.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

But, hey, girl power, right? Even if we are from different stories.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Agreed, though I think yours might be a tad more cheerful than my own.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know... What's the worst thing that happened in your stories?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

I locked away the advisor to the true king.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Hmmm. Ok.

I had a father who hated me and sent innocent people to their death on a regular basis, a literal monster for a half-brother. The one guy I stuck my neck out for and saved the life of abandoned me on an island after promising to make me his queen, and then later went after my little sister. I got killed by a stray arrow. The good news was that I did end up with a god.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Oh. I apologize. I shouldn't have gotten us onto such a depressing subject.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Oh, that's just how it goes for us Greeks. We don't just find trouble--we find it by the clusterfuck.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

Greetings, Ariadne! I am the Sir Gawain to whom my friend Nimue refers ... and I quite adamantly believe in lady power!

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Ah, the knight. Well, it's good a princess to have knights around, even if she's capable of saving herself, right?

Private

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

So it seems.

By the way, since he's decided to say hello, he's very sweet. Some said that after Lancelot, Gawain is the perfect example of what a knight should be.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Used to be. Honey, you still are no matter the guise.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

I started as a princess. I might have been a queen if your boy hadn't mucked that up. Then I became a goddess. Now I'm a mortal. Times have changed.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

A boy after my own make. He was a good lad, you just didn't hold his fancy, sweetheart.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Right. Gratitude isn't your strong point either. Doesn't matter--I did better than him anyhow.

Also? I'm not your sweetheart.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Aw, how sweet. You got yourself a drunk now, though I admit I kind of like Dionysus.

Smooches.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

So glad you approve.

And keep your lips to yourself--or at least to whatever piece of meat you've picked for the night.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Tsk. You talk too much, honey. And if you don't watch it, you may end up that meat.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Right. In your dreams, maybe.

...Yes. Apparently, so they do.
