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.

When does your flight get in?

[She isn't having a sudden attack of the WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FAMILY I NEED THEM. No. Not at all.]

[lyred]

[ ): no, don't be silly. none of them are, right? ]

Ten-ish your time.

[glorying]

I'll meet you there.

[lyred]

How are you? Really.

[glorying]

I'm fine.



[liarliar pants on fire.]

[lyred]

[ he knows she's lying. but, he also knows she can make it through this. so, apollo won't call her out. for now. ]

I'll be there soon.

[glorying]

[He has more faith in her than she currently does. But she does her best to keep going while waiting for the flight to get in. Moping about has never been something she's allowed herself to do, and she isn't going to start now.

And when the flight gets in, she's at the airport, impatiently scanning the crowd for her brother and everyone with him.]

[lyred]

[ well, if he can't have faith in his sister, he can't have faith in anyone. and he doesn't want that to happen—faith is all they have right now.

when he finally makes it in, he's rushing. not exactly sure where but knows artemis is around. blindly following his intuition and has miranda in tow. and trust when he finally spots her, he'll be hugging her quite tightly. unless, you know, she stops him. but he's hoping she won't. ]

[glorying]

[Like hell she'd stop him.

She's been running on this for the past few hours. In New York, the city where sex sells everything she's feeling so alone and vulnerable that it's only the thought that Apollo will be here soon that's kept her from just breaking down.

She may cry a tear or two out of relief.]

Please tell me you've heard anything about what's going on.

[lyred]

[ oh no. no tears, apollo doesn't want to see something like that. while it's unavoidable in a place like this, at a time like this... he still doesn't want to see his sister upset. because he can't do much to change it. besides just be here, hugging tight. ]

No. As far as I know things are still the same as before we left. We'll probably know more once we get to London.
