Metempsychosis

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.

From:

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

From:

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

From:

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

From:

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

From:

I have no doubts you are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself. It has always been a pleasure for me, as a knight, to meet ladies who would join me as a seeker rather than serve as an object to seek.

From:

Heh. You're a charmer, aren't you? I'm not really sure that I'm seeking anything right now, except maybe some answers.

From:

Perhaps the best answer we can all get out of this is to start asking more questions of ourselves and the universe.

From:

Yeah? And what question are you asking first?

From:

Given our newly rediscovered divine status, what can we do to help improve the world?

From:

~~...seriously?~~

Good question, though I'm not sure I want to start running around in spandex and a cape.

From:

Surely you know, as a video game maker, one does not need to wear spandex and a cape, or even possess superpowers, in order to do good in the world.

I guess I would like to remain true to the knightly vows I took so long ago and contribute something positive to the world. I'm not sure what a book dealer can do, but I hope to think of something.

From:

I was joking. But, still. I'd rather find out what this mysterious emailer is trying to get at first.

From:

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.

From:

...wasn't Lancelot the one who had the affair with the queen? I'd certainly hope he was a better example.

From:

Yes, but before that Lancelot was always held up as the example of a true knight. In truth, he earned the reputation which was why his fall from grace was so surprising and saddening.

From:

I see... Are you playing matchmaker? The knight with the princess?

From:

I wouldn't dream of being so presumptuous!

But I could find it in me to let you know if he ever comes to Seattle for that giggle fest we spoke of in watching bad Arthurian film.

From:

Well, no harm in making new friends, right?

From:

Indeed.

If you ever find yourself down in Seattle, do stop in the store.

From:

Well, it's not far from Bellevue to Seattle. Maybe 20 minutes.
