If any of you were curious, I saw Cronus after all was said and done.
He said nothing; merely looked upon me with an expression of such anger and sadness.
Perhaps he was once proud of his children for bringing him to his knees... This time I believe his only regret is that he was rendered defenseless and unable to fight back. Much like we feel for every time something happens to us on the whim of Gaia and Khaos.
I do not know where he's gone to, only that he walked away and faded into the shadowed halls.

As for me, I work at a mortuary and funeral home. I prepare the dead for their burial rights, which may change slightly depending on what faith and beliefs they hold. My employer is very nice, but he and my coworkers likely believe I am not of sound mind. But, I do good work.
i'm sorry if there are any typos, i cant feel my hands
Date: 2011-01-31 08:26 am (UTC)From:It's not your fault. I have worked something out with my roommate who has a business to help him out. I could look for a more permanent position but hadn't thought of it.
That sounds like depressing work, to always be surrounded by the dead and grieving, but it sounds like you dont mind that. You must learn a lot about people today.
Why don't you have any hands? o.O
Date: 2011-02-01 12:46 am (UTC)From:I'm glad that you've found something to do with your time. You should do whatever is right for you--even if you do not know what that 'whatever' happens to be.
The worst time that I have with my work are when there are children involved. It's difficult for me to make a little one pretty who died without just cause--a gunshot, for instance. Some of them are the ones to lift my spirits up when they speak to me, and they tell me that it's okay. And yes, I do learn a lot about this modern society and the people who've dwelled in them. About their life and what they enjoyed most; what they disliked and their beliefs. That's the part that I enjoy.
it was really cold last night ._.
Date: 2011-02-01 01:08 am (UTC)From:The death of children is always the hardest. I saw my nephew die. I'm sorry you have to face that. The dead...literally speak to you? I mean, I should have assumed from your post but it didn't sink in I guess. Do the dead have a lot to say?
Aw, boo! :( Fingers hurt. No bueno.
Date: 2011-02-01 01:50 am (UTC)From:Dear sir, you have indeed read my thoughts. I could not agree more.

Please accept my condolences for the loss of your nephew, and for the simple fact that you saw it.
They do, indeed, on both accounts. Most times I do not see them as I did before becoming mortal; not unless they wish for me to. Unfortunately those seem to be the ones that are the most difficult do please.
it's ok, i got better
Date: 2011-02-01 02:29 am (UTC)From:We won't suffer alone then.

Thank you. It feels like another lifetime now. I'm Trojan, I've seen a lot of death, but some is more memorable. Not nearly as much as you obviously.
Mortals even in death can be demanding I guess. It must be hard for you, as a goddess, to lose your powers.
These are good things. I approve! <3
Date: 2011-02-01 06:15 pm (UTC)From:It's a nice feeling to have, knowing that.
...umWe should have tea sometime and discuss.[/filter]
Seeing death many times over does not always ease the discomfort, especially when it comes to loved ones. I fear, though, this mortal living has weakened my defenses. I am more emotional, more fearful.
Mortals can be very demanding in death, generally if they do not know they have died. My powers are very limited now, but my duty is still the same.
Do you enjoy this very new world we occupy, Helenus?

Date: 2011-02-01 08:28 pm (UTC)From:That would...I would like that. Somewhere away from the complex?

Emotion and fear don't have to be weaknesses. Mortals are scared of the emotionless
like Hades, you can use emotion to connect better withpeoplespirits. If you want to of course.I'm thankful to you for the duty you do, you have probably helped a lot of my family.
I don't know if enjoy is the right word...I miss home but I have my sister here, alive and well.

They don't have to be, but emotions are not often viewed favorably for those where logic overtakes all. I often argue that love is not logical because it is not, but mortals and gods alike have it, just the same. I do have to have a wide range of emotion for those who follow me to better understand them because each of their circumstances is so different. If that makes me weak in the eyes of others, then so be it.
I appreciate that, Helenus. I do. I hope that I was able to bring some semblance of comfort to those who needed it most.
I, too, miss home. But admittedly, there are some things about this new world that are growing on me. Films and hamburgers, for instance.

Mortals are not very rational, no matter how much we might try. Logic can be assuring, but I don't think it can bring happiness like emotions can. Anyone who would call you weak probably doesn't understand emotion. You can't be weak and be surrounded by death.
You're right about movies, I don't think I can go back to a normal play now. And TV, I admit I watch too much TV.

I've wondered how modern plays are affected by films and the like. I know it has changed since the time of Thespis--perhaps someday I would go to see a play and weigh each.
In truth, I do not find myself watching television all that often. Nothing that I've seen has gripped me, and I've become bored with trying to find something.

Plays are obviously still very popular, there is the whole street dedicated to them here in New York. They probably have better tricks then masks and trap doors.
My sister watches Supernatural and made me sit down and watch with her.

Then I shall have to see one soon, I wager.
Do you like the program, and not just because your sister makes you watch it?

You'll have to let me know what it's like.
I do, it's addictive. The TV is also good for background noise, no matter what is on.
