this is why you aren't brought out more, zeus

[kingofthiscastle]

A fine return to faithful form, my dear.

Of course, I'd know little about it, but I'm told the coupling of commitment and exceptionally dull life choices is to be applauded.

Your interest and you are welcome back to me. Possibly only because you are my single recourse, but you are welcome back to me.

[olympic_lion]

Hardly your only recourse, Father- but every little bit helps, I imagine.

[kingofthiscastle]

Hardly. I prefer my 'bits' large.

[hydrokhoos]

Don't be such a jerk to your writer.

[kingofthiscastle]

Of course. I will endeavour to be a much different degree of jerk in the future.

Canon is DC Comics, where Strife is his daughter.

[chaosanddiscord]

I, for one, am quite the fan of exceptionally dull life choices, Father. There'd be no chaos or discord to sow without it.

hey, the Iliad Eris/Strife was sired by Zeus, there's a fine precedent!

[kingofthiscastle]

I suppose all eternal entities must experiment with extreme gestures at some teenage point.

[chaosanddiscord]

It's never a party without some drama, am I right?

[hydrokhoos]

In what direction, though?

[kingofthiscastle]

Given her confirmed adulthood, I am sure I shall be able to negotiate something mutually pleasing.

[kingofthiscastle]

'Some' does underestimate your vast talents, doesn't it, now.

[hydrokhoos]

Oh for.. As usual, you're disgusting. I've kind of missed it.

[kingofthiscastle]

And I have missed your inability to admit just how much you have missed me.

[hydrokhoos]

It's not a lack of ability so much is that it's a lack of willingness. Your ego's enough of a bother already.

[kingofthiscastle]

And yet, it and I do very well with one another.

[chaosanddiscord]

Well, yes. I'm trying this humble thing, but it's so ridiculously mortal.

[kingofthiscastle]

As are complaints, my dear.

[hydrokhoos]

Naturally. You're both well-suited to many negative personality traits.

[kingofthiscastle]

Is this all still because of that dreary little episode of your... abduction?

[chaosanddiscord]

Mmmm. You would know, considering how much you've cavorted with the mortals, Daddy.

[hydrokhoos]

I happen to be fond of some of your negative personality traits. And don't call it dreary, it was dramatic and traumatic for both of us, I'm sure.

[kingofthiscastle]

They are uniquely equipped to give me the one thing I most desire: a rare moment of silence.

[kingofthiscastle]

Yes. Guilt and horror have plunged me in the lukewarm embrace of particularly disappointing wine since.

[hydrokhoos]

Well, I meant less guilt and horror and more trauma due to the fact that once I got over being terrified, I did a lot of kicking and scratching and screaming. It's probably a good thing you don't scar.

And you can blame the wine on your son.

[chaosanddiscord]

I only ever see them when they're out on the town, partying. Not a lot of silence there.

[kingofthiscastle]

I will not. The poor fellow undergoing another mid-eternity crisis.

He is under a great deal of stress.
