Well it's official. I've done my best to stay the hell away from all this. When my internet turned on me, I jury-rigged my type-writer to get my files typed up so I wouldn't have to deal with this crap. Alas my coworkers didn't accept my makeshift papers, so I had to cave and finally access this thing.

My name's Henry Phillips, formerly Hephaestus.

Let's get this over with.

Let's start this off right

They make it hard to ignore them.

Be damned if I didn't give it the old college try.

Tritonia, eh? ..guess we're starting the awkwardness off right.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

...

No... this isn't at all awkward...

Hello, Hephaestus. It's... been some time.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

The lack of awkwardness is palpable.

Aphrodite..yeah..long time.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh! Hello! Welcome to our little group! I... don't know if you remember me.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

It's been awhile, but I remember you. How's life been treating you?

[aegletes.insanejournal.com]

Well, well! Long time no see! How goes it, lad?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Lad? Pretty sure I'm older than you this time around.

It goes.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Ah. Hello, Cousin.

How are your crafting skills these days?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Triton.

Just fine.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I suppose it was worth a shot and you had a good long run of avoiding the emails, at least. I hope this won't be as painful as you seem to expect.

I'm Cal Hobson. Bes of the Egyptians.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I can be pretty stubborn when I put my mind to something.

Nice to meet you. Egyptian? Just how many groups are a part of this circus?

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I hope I'm not late!

Welcome! I'm Amber Wheatley--formerly Sif of the Norse.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure my appearance wasn't scheduled. If it was, I'm the late one to the party.

I'm sorry, but seeing a blonde Viking woman is making me think of those Opera singers.

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

Hello, Hephaestus. Nice seeing you again.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Ah, hey Ariadne.

Please tell me your husband is not here.

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

Ain't no "getting over" nothing here. This fucking crazy train just keeps picking up more people.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Usually I charge people for having to deal with their crazy. Get the feeling I'm going be dealing with a lot of shit pro bono.

[queen-of-purim.insanejournal.com]

Wow. Having so many gods around can sure make a girl feel inadequate.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Hada Morgenstern, but history knew me best as Queen Esther.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Unless you're sharing a shower with them, don't worry about it.

I'd have to brush up on my history, not my best subject in school. Nice to see not everyone here are gods.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Hi. I'm Seph. It's Josephine now, so it works both ways. And it's best to get a little forewarning, maybe, before they start including you in the kidnappings.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Hi Persepone. Wait, kidnappings? Why am I only just now hearing about kidnappings?

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Hey Grouchy Smurf.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I'll accept that title with pride.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Oh. You're not Ptah. Too bad. You're the one who is kind of like Ptah.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Umm..thanks?

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Welcome to the circus group. Baldr from the Norse bunch. Sean, if we're on a more...mortal level.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

As long as it's not Mortal Kombat, Sean, then mortal is just fine. I suck at that game.

[ieter-amumon.insanejournal.com]

Ah, Hephaestus. Always a pleasure. How are the legs?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Hey, Asclepius. Left works fine, right's a pain in the ass as usual, but nothing I'm not used to.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Really? I'm the first one of my group to say anything? Huh. Well, better late than never, right?

Hi there. Alan Cleary. Or, Ogma of the Celts, if that's more your speed. Nice to meet you, Dr.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

No worries, pal.

Ditto. I was told we had Celts involved in this.

[acratophorus.insanejournal.com]

BRO!! It's been too damn long, man!

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Dionysus..drunk already I take it?
