A TERRIBLE THING IS HAPPENING

reference books detailing myths and legends stolen from libraries...
wikipedia pages wiped clean from the face of the internet...
ancient stained glass windows smashed and destroyed...
historical research centers burnt to the ground...

Someone out there is trying very, very hard to erase all of the possible sources of power and belief of the ancient gods and goddesses. And it hurts. Whilst the powers of the minders are unharmed by the attacks, the gods and goddesses will be certainly feeling the toll: it's now painfully clear that even the simplest of miracles are now becoming almost impossible to perform.

deities, you had better have gifted your minders with some decent blessings! Because now you're going to rely on them more than ever. Someone is out to get you.

please be okay

dad wants me to inspire someone important to get ppl talking but i cant. i cant do anything but i need to help fix it

[lyred]

I'm alright, don't worry.
You will be alright, too. Just try and stay calm, okay? Tell me what's going on, can you do anything at all?

[terpsichord]

i'm in barnes and noble. i went to check it out and found everything gone even the novels that mention our names, they took fucking shakespeare and YA lit. i'm sortof behind a shelf in the corner. it's better. dont want people seeing me and freaking out

[lyred]

I ran into the same problem when I checked, too.
...Are you sure that's better? I'm not sure I like the idea of you being there alone.

i have Hercules on my iphone and it's keeping me sane. so glad disney likes muses. someone make them play that shit on all the flights

[Her focus tends to... wander when she's not feeling strong. It's a very old, very recognizable habit of hers. Oops.]

[lyred]

[ oh my gosh. okay. that does make him smile—he can always count on the muses for that. ]

I'll watch it on the flight, too.
That way maybe we'll both stay sane.

[terpsichord]

i'm serious if every single flight played something with gods then we'd all be feeling better

[And this is why muses are the creative ones.]

[lyred]

That would be ideal, anyway.

[ nevermind it's just a reminder of what they don't have right now. which... is sort of a bummer... ]

[terpsichord]

damn it i can think of what tv shows would have to be on, too. i can see the episodes in my head, just can't do anything about it. i know how to fix this. fuck.

[lyred]

It's alright. We all have to work together to fix it, don't try and take it all on alone.

[terpsichord]

if i can keep my voice steady i can get something on tv about us tonight

[lyred]

If you can, that's fantastic.
I've got connections at some networks in New York that can help spread things faster if needed.

[terpsichord]

that'd be perfect
patton oswalt is doing a big show tonight and another one tomorrow and if i can get him to answer his fucking phone i can make this happen

[lyred]

I'll put some calls in before I board. When I get to NY we'll put our heads together and see what more we can do.
