on his muns amusement at pretty much everything

[musagetes]

You are far too easily entertained. Stop toying with me already, and go back to whatever else it is you do with your mortal characters.

I refuse to call them 'muses'. That's an insult to the girls.

[olympic]

And what a grievous insult that would be. Honestly, you act as if they haven't heard worse.

[musagetes]

As far as I know, they haven't. Is there something you're not telling me, Hera?

[olympic]

Oh, of course not. Mortals invoke the wrong muses or false ones all the time, I don't know why this is a surprise to you. [Let's just divert from the part where she's said things in private about her husband's "other children".]

[musagetes]

I'm not talking about that. That's not an insult as much as it's a mistake. I'm talking about people--and goddesses--insulting the Muses.

[Pointed. Look. Seriously, Hera, don't lie]

[olympic]

[Give her all the pointed looks you'd like, Apollo. This isn't new to her.] Then I suggest you go look for those people and/or goddesses, and stop glaring at me like you're your father.

[musagetes]

I believe I'm speaking to one right now. You've no love for Father's children, Hera, except Ares and Hebe.

[thea_hagne]

Problems, brother?

[musagetes]

Shut up. Please, just...don't, Artemis.

[thea_hagne]

You're usually not this... calm, when angered.

Might I suggest giving her the plague?

[musagetes]

I'm more annoyed and exasperated.

She's got various other issues already. The plague would just be too cruel.

[thea_hagne]

I'll take your word for it. [On both counts.]

[yearly]

That's.. a bit like asking for it, isn't it?

[musagetes]

What do you mean?

[yearly]

Telling them to leave you alone. It's basically asking them to make things as difficult as possible.

[musagetes]

I keep hoping she'll learn.

[yearly]

It might be futile.

[museoflols]

Look at you, sticking up for our honor!

[musagetes]

Of course. You're my Muses, why wouldn't I?

[museoflols]

I wonder if there is a Muse we can blame for roleplaying...

[it's probably her isn't it.

That's the last time she drinks with Dionysus. That's a lie.]

[musagetes]

You, probably, since they seem to do it 'for the lols'.

[chasedlaurels]

[A smirk.]

Not so amusing when the sandal is on the other foot, is it?

[musagetes]

[Sob Daphne]

I never toyed with mortals unless they angered me first, Daphne.

[chasedlaurels]

[She's had a long time to think, Apollo.]

What is it that mortals say these days? [She taps her chin, glancing to the sky feigning thoughtfulness, then turns her chin down and eyes Apollo like a cat to a canary.]

Bullshit.

[musagetes]

Chasing after someone I'm attracted to doesn't count.

[chasedlaurels]

[She throws up her hand, flowers emerging about Apollo's feet.]

Because you get everything you desire. Is that correct?
