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.

Okay..what do I have to know?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Plenty. Are you sure you want to do it here?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Where else would you want to tell me?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Wherever suited you, I suppose. By phone. In person. There's a lot to go over, and it just feels rather... impersonal to do so here.

I suppose we could talk on the phone. I live in PA, not sure how realistic it would be for me to go where you're at for a face-to-face.

Travel is part of my job, but I suppose a call will certainly save me some worry on babysitting. Anyway, all right. I'll give you a call here in a few days, and bring you up to speed.

Babysitting? You're a mom?

That works for me...maybe I'm a glutton for punishment but I would like to talk in person some time.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Well... yes. Nine immortal children--well, eight, technically, seeing as Erato's son is half-mortal--were born to us godlings on December 21st. Two of them are mine.

And, yes. I'd like to see you again too.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Ah..well you always did like kids.

For the record I'll be wearing a cup.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

...that really won't be necessary.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I'm just being over-dramatic.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

I see. Well, I'd hope for minimal drama at a reunion.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

That would be ideal, yes.

...Would you prefer that over a phone call?
