Fucking shit. If they've gotten sentient enough to start sending me e-mails, I think I'm fucked.

tHeRe. I played along. I did the registering thing. I posted. Now please, stop.

Oh! Sorry. I guess I didn't say so earlier. Mythological sisters. At least, the few we've found so far. The other six are still out there somewhere.

I'm Erato, Muse of Lyric Love Poetry and Mimic Imitation.

Muses, then? Hm. Neat.

Ah. I'm...Legion. Noted demoniac and self-mutilator. Made a bunch of pigs kill themselves one time.

...we're nothing quite so romantic.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh. My. I'd suggest caution around my sister Melpomene, then. She would probably consider that a good time.

And, well, really. I'm nothing compared to someone like Aphrodite. She's got much more power than I do.

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

It was. Excruciating, though. We were expecting certain death. Better than that.

Really, that makes sense. Did...any of your powers carry over?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

I... I see.

And... yes. They aren't as strong in my mortal form. At least, they aren't usually, depending on the circumstances, but I do still have some of my powers. I can't control them, though.

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

Mm.

I can't control mine, either. They just come out. _{Shit sucks.}

It's usually not so bad when it's just me by myself. The real issues crop up when my powers synergize with someone else's. Dionysus, Lilith, Aphrodite... I suppose even being around Eros would catalyze something.

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

Mine get worse when I'm- when I'm scared. Or angry. or around animals.

...er. Do you mind if I ask exactly what you do?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

...it's hard to describe. Back in the day, they called it "charming the sight." I can't create love or lust. Not exactly, anyway--that's something for Aphrodite or the Erotes to handle. But... I bring people together, I guess you could say, and make them more likely to be receptive to what romantic feelings they have.

...it hasn't always turned out well. I've narrowly escaped being attacked on a few occasions... And that horrible incident at the dormitory back in September. I don't actually have any memory of it, but I saw part of the aftermath, and the stories I was told... A lot of people died that night...
