☝ *ding.*

^{wasn't just you.} _{we don't think.}

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Who came to see you?

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

Some guy. _{knew a lot.} Talked a lot.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

What did he tell you?

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

Classified. (for now.) I'm sure you understand.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Were you told to cooperate with the rest of us?

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

okay okay. maybe? i don't- _{kind of a blur?}

i'll get back to you on that when i'm a little less medicated.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

...right, then.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

It wasn't just you, Ariadne. I had a family reunion with my grandmother..my godly grandmother.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

...Gaia?

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

Indeed.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

...same as me, then. What did she want from you?

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

Same thing she wanted from you I suspect, unity of the pantheons against a common threat.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Sounds like it.

So. Looks like we need to figure out some kind of cohesive plan, then.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

Oh I had a visitor all right and if I ever find a way to hurt him, that son of a bitch is dead!

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

If you're speaking of the same..individual who came to see me..I wouldn't mind contributing to that enterprise.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Easy, gentlemen. What happened, exactly?

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

Some guy, the asshole behind all this, suddenly drops by my office telling me we all have to play nice with each other to keep the humans from going apeshit on us.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

...that's one way of putting things. But you were told "Cooperate or else" too?

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

In a nutshell, yeah.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

OK. Well, looks like we've all been given the same instructions.

[asteroid30.insanejournal.com]

It wasn't just you.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

That's both refreshing and profoundly not reassuring at the same time. Same message? "Play nice with the others?"

[asteroid30.insanejournal.com]

More 'stop hiding in your office and do something'.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

I did as well. A man who tried to corner me in a diner.

[acratophorus.insanejournal.com]

Oh, you mean Creepy McCreepenstein of Creepistan? Yeah, saw him again.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

...I see you're back.
