I'm sorry to call so late, but something just happened I think I should tell you about.

It's...it's hard to explain. He called himself 'Jake'. He knew all about me and you, all of us. He definitely wasn't human, Alan. And not one of us either.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Really? Huh. That is interesting. I met an unusual woman today when I was shopping with the kids.

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

Did she buy you dinner?

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

No. We just ran into each other while we were stocking up on a few essentials before I send the kids out to see my parents for two weeks.

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

She come out of nowhere and know a lot of stuff she had no way of knowing?

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Something like that. She seemed nice enough, though.

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

Well that must have been nice. Jake was a lecherous jerk.
But don't worry, I handled it. Anyway, he asked me to try and get a truce going among the groups. He was oh so concerned about our survival.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

...lecherous jerk? You sure you're ok?

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

Oh I'm a little pissed off. Okay, I'm really pissed off. He kept talking to me like all I'm good at is seducing people. He told me to get together with the other women and "convince" everyone that way. Grr!

[Yes, she did just growl into the phone.]

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

...which other women? What do you mean?

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

Like that poor little blonde Muse, he thought that would be a perfect mixture. But he glossed about all the others. And then he had the audacity to ask about our baby!

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

[...processing that mental image, kthx]

...his endgame is bringing the pantheons together?

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

[You're welcome.]

I doubt that's his endgame. It seemed more like his "in the meantime".

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

That's mostly the message I got. Makes sense, in a way. And we are having the only cross-pantheon child that I know of.

...I'm confused as to why he thinks Erato is your perfect partner in crime, I'll admit.

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

It doesn't mean he gets to ask about it, like he's got a right to know anything.

[Sigh. Anger is tiring, especially after working all night.]

Muse of Erotic poetry, and... Oh that's right. You weren't there. We all got shanghaied to be in this ridiculous play, and our powers were all mixing. I'm pretty sure Erato's was mixing with other like powered people's, including mine. I almost lost control. I wanted to... touch people. If you follow me.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Hey, it'll be okay, baby.

...sounds like quite the play. How many were involved in this... mixing?

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

[Baby? Oh hell, she practically wants to melt at that.]

I know. It just bugs me.

Everyone who was a part of the community at the time. Thank goodness for Esther. She was my rock though the whole thing. I don't know what I'd have done with out her. [Or who.]

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

I'm here for you. Don't worry. Anyone messes with my girl, you tell me, and I'll put it right.

[He lets out a low whistle]
Everyone, huh? That must have been a melting pot and a half. I admit, this idea of things mixing though... Very intriguing.

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

I'm not sure you could find him unless he wants to be found, but I didn't let him get to me. [Sort of.] At least, where he could see it.

Intriguing but also problematic. Me being around other erotic based entities apparently makes me a bit out of control. Though he had the tiniest point about us being stronger together against a common enemy.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Did he have anything useful to say to you?
