Twenty-two

Seems all I hear about these days are those Norse apes. Your pictures are all over the place. Hadn't seen the movie yet. Was it any good?

Triton, think you can babysit for a few days? Though, I'm hardly going to give you an option one way or the other. Chelsea thinks she's old enough to date. Daughter of a raging sea god, you think she'd learn. There's no such thing as dating.

Apes? Really? You know what, that's okay. I'd rather be an ape than be a member of a group that regularly raped humans as animals. So why don't you go find a nice mare to buddy with instead of throwing unprovoked insults at people.

We had our tricks. Generally, Zeus was the big daddy of odd conceptions.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Certainly, Father. Will you be leaving town, or am I simply to serve as her social escort?

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Not leaving town, just keep her occupied.

[ooc: which we should log!]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

As you wish, Father. Tell me when you need me to be there.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

For the weekend. Think you can handle it?

[Set it up?]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Of course.

...are you meaning with "The Avengers"? Because, really, that's just Thor and Loki, and it has no more to do with the representation of our pantheon than "Clash of the Titans" did for yours.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

They always fuck around with Zeus' kids, not mine.

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Percy Jackson, then.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Oh that was a rip. They made me so soft. I'm not nice.

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Neither were the Norse.

You know you're only increasing the likelihood of her rebellion by treating her like a prisoner.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

She's not a prisoner. She's got every damned thing she could ever need.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Except the freedom to make certain life choices it seems.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

She can make all the life choices she wants. Just as long as I know about them and am present. I'm not losing her again.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

You're just one big uphill battle, aren't you?

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

You wouldn't understand now would you? You've never had brats.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

I'm eighteen with more than half a brain. Of course, I don't have kids yet. But that doesn't prevent me from putting two and two together.

You give off a lot of mixed signals about your daughter. You say you want to be rid of her, but you don't want to lose her. If your relationship is strained, you could try talking to her. Reasonably.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Still a teen without the experience.

You come across all good and just, truth is this is a fucking nightmare. I hate kids. I don't like one damn thing about them, but she's mine. I'll talk to her civilly when she actually talks.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Okay. Why won't she talk to you?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

My, my, darling. Surely you're not jealous that they're getting a bit of press, are you?

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Is it obvious? Surely they're a boring bunch.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Oh, Poseidon. My sweet sea god. If you're in need of an ego-stroking, you only have to say so. No need to throw insults.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

I wouldn't be myself if I didn't throw a few jabs at my competition.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Competition? Oh, no, no. That's practically apples and oranges. As different as Athens and Sparta. Save it for your brother, if you must.
