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.

it's gone, all of it. i checked the penguin classics and the iliad should be right next to huckleberry finn where it always is

[she thought of you on her bookstore investigation, big sis. 8( ]

[epicallyamused]

I've heard.

[She doesn't know what to say. It's literally like her heart has been ripped out.]

You think Zeus is going to handle this?

[terpsichord]

yeah probably the furies are probably already doing shit. it's not just us though it's all the pantheons i've seen

[epicallyamused]

We'll figure it out. We have to. Terps, it's all we have.

I miss you. I miss all of them. I miss Mom and Achelous hasn't been in touch since 1973.

[epicallyamused]

I know. I miss Homer. But we'll get through this. We always do.

nerdatron = clio

[terpsichord]

Maybe. But this probably isn't isolated. We all know what Nerdatron knows- how single acts turn into war.

Just answer me this: did Artemis have a childhood? The Slavs- we knew them once, didn't we? They had more than two words to their isolated names. They had parents and relationships and children- but we don't know anymore, because the people don't know. We can't remember what we've lost and maybe we don't even know that we've lost it.

What if Polyhymnia had kids? We wouldn't know. Maybe we all did. Maybe we Muses will recover, since we're entrenched in the language and this world, but we can't be complacent.

[epicallyamused]

Hun, take a breather. I know how this works. I wrote the book on it. We WILL NOT let that happen.
