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.

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

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

...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.

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

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

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

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

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

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Not leaving town, just keep her occupied.

[ooc: which we should log!]

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

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

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

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

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

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

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

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

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Percy Jackson, then.

[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.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Except the freedom to make certain life choices it seems.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

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

[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.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

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

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

For the weekend. Think you can handle it?

[Set it up?]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Of course.

[Done and done! (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/metem_log/46390.html)]

[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.

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Neither were the Norse.

[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?
