This is taking this April Fools' thing just a hair too far, isn't it? Waking up with male, erm, equipment is not my idea of a good joke.

Does... anyone have clothes they're not currently using that I could try?

I am certain I did not. She was very plain in her words and repeated the sentiments numerous times.

Then maybe there's just something wrong with you. Perhaps she didn't mean to hurt you. At least you now know what others see as your faults and you can try to change them.

Filter: Helenus

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

She did not hurt me, nor did she mean to. I am not interested in changing because I do not view those traits which she considers faults as such.

Then maybe they're not faults, just reasons why you two would not work.

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

She did not list them as reasons we would not work. The disagreement itself is likely why we would not work.

That is, of course, if I was interested, which I am not.

What was it she said? It seems strange that she would list your faults simply to list them. There must be a misunderstanding.

Of course you're not.

There was no misunderstanding, Helenus. If you desire to know what she said, you should ask her.

Thank you.

Enough, you two.

He already knows what I said and what you said, Phonos.

Why you find me and what I had to say so offensive is beyond me. I misread you when I thought you might not hold affections--you were offended at that. THESE ARE NOT FAULTS!

You've made your point explicitly clear. Everything I have said and done has offended you. Every answer I've given you to any questions you have had has offended you.

Our ongoing relationship will be strictly work-related from here on out, just as my and Helenus's relationship will be as it has been: A close friendship, as it has been and as it shall be.

Figure out your fucking emotions, Phonos. I'm through attempting to do so, regardless of how I may feel. You win.

Sorry.

What do I do?

[gifted-sight.livejournal.com]

Why me? I should be advising men on matters of state and war. Not a god on emotions. My track record with emotions suck. Go ask Paris or Aphrodite or someone who gets this stuff.

Do you want honest advice? This can't be ignored. Emotions are part of being mortal. It's time for you to figure out your own. Why did any of what she said offend you? If you don't know, then apologize and tell her that. Honesty's usually a good bet or it destroys things

It did not offend. I vehemently disagreed and the argument continued. I did not desire for it to do so any longer.

[Filter: Phonos]

[gifted-sight.livejournal.com]

You two...communicate very differently. Not every argument can end because you want it to. Obviously by cutting off one when you did left Melinoe with the impression you had been insulted.

Filter: Helenus

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

What do you recommend then?

[Filter: Phonos]

[gifted-sight.livejournal.com]

Talk to her and listen to what she says. Even if you don't like it. Melinoe is more like mortals then the rest of her family. She feels and if you want any kind of relationship with her, you have to learn how to understand that.

[Filter: Melinoe & Helenus] polly want a cracker

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

I apologize for causing the misunderstanding.

I was not offended. I simply did not wish to continue the conversations. If you wish to talk, I will listen, even if I do not like what you have to say.

[Voice] From a certain establishment up the block somewhere.

[It's becoming painfully aware that He-Meli has had more than her fair share of shots. And things. And is sounding reasonably angry.]

Then-- don' ahsk things you don' whant answers to! [In the background, some giggling from a woman and Meli sounds fairly distracted] No. Go dance by yourshelf...

[Filter: Melinoe] [Voice]

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

You are intoxicated. Perhaps you should summon Zagreus or Helenus to retrieve you.

[Filter: Phonos][Voice]

[meli-mollifies.livejournal.com]

[Short laugh] Yes. I am. And 'm not going anywhere until they kick me out. 'm fine.

[Filter: Melinoe][Voice]

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

[Waaaaary.] I do not desire to tell Helenus of your condition. Please do not force me to do so.

[Filter: Phonos][Voice]

[meli-mollifies.livejournal.com]

[Slightly bitter] So don't. 'm not making you do anything.

[gifted-sight.livejournal.com]

Melinoe...Having fun in your new body now?

[Voice]

[meli-mollifies.livejournal.com]

Not particularly. You?

[Voice]

[gifted-sight.livejournal.com]

[short, not very amused, laugh] Sounds like you're at least attracting women. But uh, no. Not really enjoying it either.

Go dance with one of them. It might help.

[Voice]

[meli-mollifies.livejournal.com]

[mumbles something about grabby hands] No. Standing is really bad. 'sides. Don' want help. Don' need.
