Twenty Seven

Ladies and gentlemen, it has come to our attention that Poseidon has been taken from among our numbers. With this new development, the question of the Greek throne is no longer in contest. Hades has agreed that I am to be the sole ruler, and I have every intention of fully inhabiting that mantle.

That said... In Poseidon's absence, the Trident now passes to you, Triton, as the heir to the Sea Kingdoms, and now their rightful king. Unless, of course, you prefer the title of Prince Regent?

What? No... Impossible. Isn't it?

Ah... No. We have no evidence that those taken ever return. Therefore, I... accept the title and position of King.

Very well, then. We hail and honor you, King Triton, Lord Commander of the Oceans and Keeper of its Peoples. May your reign be ever glorious.

And to you. May Olympus be ruled in peace and prosperity.

Oh dear. I never liked the man, but it almost seems in poor taste to tell you congratulations in the face of his disappearance.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Well, in any case, thank you.

Are you freaking kidding me? Why would you tell him like this?

Because he'd find it insulting to be treated with kid gloves. I would have thought you'd known that, dear.

So jotting down a quick blurb on a website is being an adult about it? He deserved the respect of being told directly, not in a haphazard, careless fashion. You could have at least looked him in the eyes to tell him this.

He's in another state right now, dear. I'm sure he'd prefer knowing sooner than later.

Queen, wow..that's a hell of a promotion.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

That's one way to put it, certainly.
