Awesome. 

As if the Goodman family dynamic wasn't effed-up enough, you've got to throw in mythology.

You've got the weirdest definition of "fucked up".

[clearasil]

Is that surprising to you?

[morethanmemory]

All things considered?

...Yeah, okay.

Why are you pissed off about mythology? Do you know how cool that sounds?

[clearasil]

Yeah, it's cool. Of course it's fucking cool. I used to be into Norse mythology.

It's this alternate universe the mun's cooking up so I fit into the requirements. That's going to be fucked up.

[morethanmemory]

Vikings and stuff?

How? You don't think being, like, the goddess of pianos is gonna make your life easier?

[clearasil]

I wish I was the goddess of pianos.

All I've got now is dark magic and stuff. Like, taking the "daughter of air" thing super seriously.

[morethanmemory]

You aren't?

Hey, you're the one who said it. Should've picked your words a little better, maybe. What qualifies as ~dark~?

[clearasil]

Dark as in shadows, stupid. She wants me to be - [ here, Natalie huffs. ] - a daughter of Hecate. Night, moon, ghosts, shadows, Mist, all that.

So, not the goddess of pianos.

[morethanmemory]

You said "dark magic", don't call me stupid. How do I know you're not like a bad witch or something, now?

...HA. Double, double, toil and trouble. Nice.

Well, I got the ghost part covered for you.

[clearasil]

Okay, fine. I take back the "stupid" for now since you have the ghost part covered.

But I'm just saying that I'm on the good side, I'm supposed to just handle illusions and stuff. And Mist. Something about mists.

[morethanmemory]

Sounds mistical.

Could be cool. Why would that be fucked up? Mom would be an awesome witch.

[clearasil]

[ Natalie shrugs, then frowns. ]

Because she won't be my mom anymore, not in this universe. She'll just be yours.

[morethanmemory]

...You keep talking about this like it's a bad thing.

[clearasil]

I'm allowed to have a comfort zone, aren't I? Because whatever pile of shit I might fall into is a completely different brand. Y'know, compared to the kind I'm familiar with.

[morethanmemory]

Oooh, a devil you don't know. Kind of appropriate, you being all witchgoddessy now. Aren't you going to have to consort with that type?

[clearasil]

[ Scoff. ] Yeah. That'll be fun, being expected to be some kind of Hercules-type figure.

[morethanmemory]

Zero to hero, Nat! Geez, you could complain about anything.

[clearasil]

It's more than just heroics and magic stuff. It's, like, sworn enemies and monsters chasing me through city streets and bloodshed.

[morethanmemory]

And? Go fight some monsters and kick someone's ass. Maybe someone will even write a song about it for you.

[clearasil]

Why are you so chipper about this?

[morethanmemory]

What was that thing you said, a bit ago? "She'll just be your mom"?

[clearasil]

But you're not here. Not really.

[morethanmemory]

I'm anywhere I want to be.

Anyway, doesn't make it any less of a cushy thought.

late and PBless is better than never--

[youdoitforfun]

Amen. [Whole-hearted agreement from a fellow demigod.]

Although, from what I understand, nothing's ever fucked-up enough for the muns.

absolutely :)

[clearasil]

What does yours have planned for you?

[youdoitforfun]

Bloodlust, dead family, personality traits that could potentially piss off my mother the goddess, and the hope for brainwashing in my future. Which makes the idea of getting there so exciting, let me tell you.

At least they changed their mind on the abusive parents.

[clearasil]

Yeesh.

Just when a girl thinks she's got it bad. Mine doesn't have brainwashing planned for me, though it might a little ... explosive with me around.

[ Ba dum sssh. ]

[youdoitforfun]

Apparently the brainwashing is "fun with canon parallels". I think it would be more fun to not get brainwashed. But what do I know?

[ Way, way too serious to be anything but sarcasm. ] At least our lives will never be boring.

[clearasil]

You give a girl an inch with my emotional outbursts and she takes a goddamn mile.

[ She snickers. You're OK, Clint Barton. ] I'd like to know what boring feels like.

[youdoitforfun]

They need to find a new hobby. Knitting, maybe. Javelin throwing, if they're so interested in Greeks.

If I get the chance to find out, I'll be sure to report back.

[clearasil]

[ Natalie snorts quietly, ducking her head. ]

How sad it that? Boredom's become a luxury. Maybe not sad-sad, though.
