Princess Cassandra of Troy is confused... (Canon is Greek Mythology)

[cassie_of_troy]

Dearest Mun,

I'm not quite certain how I feel about being here right now. Perhaps I'll see some familiar faces. That's always most interesting.

Sincerely,

Cassandra

Well, I certainly can't argue with that. But risk is a part of being human and I, for one, revel in my humanity. Now more than ever.

[oak_daughter]

Well, there are ways here and now to deal with unwanted attention. I suspect this where the 'mun' thing comes into play.

[cassie_of_troy]

It sounds like you've deal with an unreasonable mun yourself.

How do you tolerate it all?

[oak_daughter]

Well, the fact they want me to live makes me pretty agreeable to most of their terms.

I find it's better to have a voice than none at all.

[cassie_of_troy]

Clearly, your situation is superior to mine. I've been utterly tortured over the last two and a half years.

[oak_daughter]

It may help I'm newer to this? And mine is a little too scared to ask around for other muns to dig up muses to make my life harder. The worse thing that's happened to me so far is dealing with Dionysus.

[cassie_of_troy]

You have my sympathies there. On both scores. There are few people from my life around. And those that are, rather unfortunately, are immortals.

[oak_daughter]

I manage. And his mun seems to be considerate so... I...

Not all immortals are bad! ... they just are more often.

[cassie_of_troy]

Clearly, you've never met Apollo.

[oak_daughter]

You're right, I haven't met him. But I have to admit have to confess a slight bias of tolerance because my husband is awfully fond of him.

[cassie_of_troy]

No man is perfect.

[oak_daughter]

... believe me, I know Orpheus is not perfect.

I have more sympathy to you then I do Apollo, I think he's mostly awful not completely awful. I think the only Olympian wouldn't try to avoid is Hestia.

[cassie_of_troy]

There is one type of Olympian I would suggest you pay close attention to. An Olympian who's lost his powers.

[She offers a wicked smile.]

Nothing is quite so amusing.

[oak_daughter]

... that is a fine thing to hear about. Who and how did he lost his powers?

[cassie_of_troy]

Apollo. He's lost most of his powers since he's now a worldwalker, like me.

[oak_daughter]

Revenge is being sweet, I suspect? Or at the least your amusement runs high?

[cassie_of_troy]

Yes, let's call it amusement. Revenge would be a lot bloodier.

[oak_daughter]

You are living the dream. If I could get my hands on Aristaeus...
