[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.]

Comments

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?

[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]

You're welcome!

I...I'm not really sure. It's all a little confusing, I guess. But, um, I'm not sure what I could really ask. >

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

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

[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?

[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!

[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?

[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?

[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, 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]

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.

[Video]

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

Aww! [Ganymede tilts his head a little, feeling a bit bad that he's forgotten.] Don't feel bad.

I'm sorry. I didn't forget on purpose! [He smiles at the name Apollo, and can't help but feel his cheeks brighten a little.]

But I remember you now. Are you doing well?

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure. :)

I've heard of you, though. Mostly about your hair, but it's nice to meet you. Even if we don't have the same pantheon.

:D

[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.

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

:D

I don't have 100% of mine either. But I won't pressure him about anything at all. I hope he's happy, though.

How have you been?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

He's learning. I'm making sure of that. Little by little, of course.

Things have been quite something between keeping on top of my fashion empire and preparing for my twins.

Yourself?

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

The pleasure's mine!

Yes, that's usually how I'm remembered: Thor's golden-haired wife. My hair might not be 24K anymore, but I'm still a natural blonde. We don't know where Thor is. There's been no sign of him. ...but Tyr and I will be getting married next month.

[Apollo laughs, showing no hard feelings]

Look at you. Still the same fetchingly blushing lad as always.

Things here are good. I'm doing well with my music--Dorian Cyrus is the name most people know me by these days. My boy Asclepius is nearby, so I get to see him regularly. I've got three Muses I get to visit--two of whom are lovely mothers-to-be. Melpomene isn't so thrilled about carrying my twins, so she encourages me to travel a lot to keep myself busy.

How about you, mate?

[ganymedon.insanejournal.com]

That works. :D

Oh...my. Do you still write much today? I'm not sure how I feel about-

Aw. I'm studying Journalism at NYU. Just finished up my first year as well. It's been fun.

You're pregnant? I hope your parents are nicer to you in the future.

[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.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

I do write some still, yes. Stories, poems, songs. Whatever I'm in the mood for. I'll bet you write a lot too, being in journalism. Or do they have you at that point yet?

And yes. But, I can't blame them too much. All the Equinox things were a lot for them to take in. My family is Irish-Catholic, so finding out their daughter is a Muse and that she used the one day she had her powers back to conceive a baby. It had to be that day--I want the little one to be a hero, like his father. Well, we don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet, but I'd like to think it'll be a boy.
