[The first thing visible is Tanner's smile, as he's a little too close to the camera, still trying to adjust it as it blinks on. He bites his lip for a moment, looking for the little light indicating that it is indeed on, and once he finds it, he gently settles himself back into his computer chair.]

Hi. [He smiles, shyly. His face overtaken with a hint of pink.] I'm Tanner. You might know me as...[He stops, and worries his lip between his teeth a little, looking decently self conscious by now.] Ganymede.

I've looked through the other posts here and some of them are really-[He stops again, and just shakes his head.] Um. But...I think I kind of get the gist of this place? I'm not sure. [He shrugs.] But I figured I'd make a video post, because I...don't think I'd know how to introduce myself just typing. [There's a bit of a giggle.] It doesn't...carry tone well, you know? And I wanted to be friendly.

So, hi! [He waves, and smiles brightly at the camera, before winking, and cutting the feed.]

She's the only one I have that's nice!

Hello, there. I'm Lilith. It's nice to meet you Ganymede.

And she's a demon. ;____;

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

Lilith. :D You're kind of pretty.

Oh, and hi. :) It's nice to meet you, too.

It's so sad isn't it? lol

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

Thank you. You're very kind.

You've looked through the posts, but do you have any questions? I'd be happy to help.

[For whatever reason, Apollo is outdoors with his laptop. The sun is high, but behind him, creating an effect like a golden halo behind him. He looks cheerfully amused.]

Ah, it's our little Trojan friend! Haven't seen you in ages, mate. Literally.

You remember me, don't you?

[Feeling awkward about replying to a video message with text, Ganymede simply turns his webcam back on, and meets Apollo's video with a bright smile.]

Goodness, it's bright where you are. [He giggles a bit.]

It's silly of me, but your name seems to be right on the tip of my tongue. [He looks embarrassed, worrying his lip between his teeth again.]

Mind telling me?

[The sun god mock-pouts]

What? You don't remember who I am? Oh, you wound me. Surely you wouldn't forget Apollo, would you? Come on. I was one of Dad's favorite sons.

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Oh, goodness! Well, this is new.

Hello, dear. I'm Amber. I was just catching up on posts myself--I'm going through an exciting, but exhausting, time right now, I'm afraid.

Welcome to our little group!

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

It is. It's kind of...thrilling, I think. Maybe a little scary.

Hi, Amber. :) Do you remember who you were?

And thank you!

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Oh, no need to be scared! Most of the people here are good folks.

And, yes, of course--though you wouldn't know me personally. I'm Sif, of the Norse.

You're very welcome. ^_^

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Hmm, I remember you. You were one of my son's playmates. A pleasure to see you among us, pet.

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

Aphrodite? ♥ Oh, how nice. It's nice to meet you...again, I guess.

...You wouldn't happen to have seen Eros around, would you?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Likewise, dear boy.

And, as a matter of fact, yes. Eros is also here in New York with me. We see each other on occasion. Professionally speaking, he's accepted a job with me, but, well, he is still my son. Do go gently on him--the poor boy doesn't have all his memories yet.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh, wow. We sure are getting a lot of new people in!

Hi, Tanner. Or do you prefer Ganymede?

I'm not sure if you would remember me, but I'm Amanda. Or Erato, as you would have known me back then.

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

Maybe it's a good thing. :D

Either one is fine! I answer just fine to both.

I don't really remember you, sorry. But I do remember hearing about you. :) How have you been?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

I certainly hope so!

OK. I know you better as Ganymede, so I'll stick with that.

And it's ok. My sisters and I weren't on Olympus a lot of the time. We didn't get to see each other much--but I did write a nice ode about you and Father at one point.

As for me, oh, goodness. It's been quite the thing lately! I just finished my freshman year at the University of Washington--I'm a Classics major there. Coming back from the dorms was rough, though. I just told my parents I'm pregnant and, um, they didn't take it so well.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Gee, did I open up a floodgate behind me?

Hey there. Al Cleary. Or, Ogma of the Tuatha de Danann, if you'd rather. Welcome to the group--it's a nice place. Lots of good people here.

I have a son looks like close to your age. He'll be a senior in high school this fall. One more year of having Dad as his teacher and coach, I guess.

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

Maybe.

Hi. I have to be honest and say I have no idea what that is. ;___; I'm sorry. But it's nice to meet you!

I'm 19, actually. Just finished my first semester of college So...I'm not that young, I guess. x: But what do you teach?~

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry about it. It's a pity, but a lot of people don't remember the Tuatha by that name. Some of our names people still remember: Brigit, Morrigan, Lugh, Cernunnos. I didn't get a lot of press, but that's because I usually kept my nose clean. To paraphrase the famous line: Well-behaved people rarely make history.

I was the god of writing, eloquence and education. Invented the ogham alphabet. And I was the official strong man. Sort of like a better-behaved and better-spoken Celtic Hercules.

Nowadays, I teach high school English and coach for wrestling, weight-lifting, or wherever the boys sports need an extra hand. I could do more, but I admit, I like being able to shape young minds and bodies. Harder to do that on the collegiate level.

[asteroid30.insanejournal.com]

Hello. Celeste here. Or, Urania, I suppose.

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

Hi! :D How've you been?

[asteroid30.insanejournal.com]

It's been a very confusing year.

[mauvaisgarcon.insanejournal.com]

Welcome to the club, Tanner.
You're awfully cute. Mind making a private video for just me? Hahaha.
So, Ganymede huh? Uhmm, I'm not entirely sure, but I'm supposed to have known you? Sorry, still kinda boggled by this whole Eros thing.

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

x) Hello.

You think so? Oh, but what would I do? :x

You're Eros? It's okay if you don't remember everything straight away. There are some things I don't remember, either. But I could probably help you out a little if you want.

[acratophorus.insanejournal.com]

Oh hey, how YOU doing? Been a while, man. We should hang out with some wine soon, talk about old times...

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

Old times, huh? Who are you? :)
