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.

Ah. Hello, Cousin.

How are your crafting skills these days?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Triton.

Just fine.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Good to know. I imagine you'll be needing those skills here soon.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Oh I'm sure I won't be.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

I beg to disagree. Events are in motion currently, and we are going to need every hand and skill set available to us.

Okay, how do I put this delicately...? I can't. I'm not going back to being Olympus' bitch. Find someone else to make your toys.

It's not about Olympus. It's about keeping us all alive as long as possible In case you've missed the news, there are people actively trying to kill us all. Maybe you are happy lying down for the coup de grace, but I will not allow our kind to just be slaughtered.

It's always something...

Look, I'm not exactly a one-man assembly-line anymore.

None of us are who we used to be. But you're not the only one here capable of doing craftwork. And your expertise can still be useful.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

...I'll see what I can do.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

We appreciate that. A shame about your leg, though. We certainly don't have any excess of soldiers.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I was never a soldier, Triton.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Which is why I intend to keep you off the front lines. But we'll still have need of you in other capacities.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Right..I'll help because our lives are at stake, but I'm not going back to being at Olympus' beck and call.
