The 37th Song

...Uh...

I'd like to forget that this weekend ever happened, if that's okay. What was I wearing...?

...I'm going to be hiding for the rest of time now, excuse me.

[PRIVATE TO EUGENE FLYNN//UNHACKABLE]

Eugene...um, Eugene, I was wondering if we could maybe talk?

I...wasn't very nice to you this weekend, and I want to apologize, but I want to do it in person, if that's okay...

Do you think you could come over? I have something I'd like to give you, too.

Not yet, no...I'm not telling everybody I know about it. But I feel like not telling people I like about it is like lying...

And I've got a gift. I'm going to use it to help people. I've started volunteering down at the hospital.

What if you use all your magic up?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I can use it up or not. I mean, the only people I've ever used it on are Mother, Flynn, and Neil. And I've only used it on Flynn and Neil once.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

You should find out, right?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I don't really know how to find out, though...to be honest, I don't really know why my hair is like this.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

You should know these things!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I know I should! I just...I've spent most of my life in a tower, and I'm finally out, and I don't know where to look to figure these things out, how how to look or anything...

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Why didn't you find it out by asking your mother?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I did, but she didn't tell me anything.

Actually, she got sort of mad when I asked.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

That's just weird.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Mother gets mad a lot. I think that's just how she is.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Huh...I didn't know there were people that were always angry.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

She's not ALWAYS angry...she just doesn't like silly questions and mumbling.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Then ask her without mumbling.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

If she ever gets here, I will.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Do you think the gods would actually want her?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

The deities? I don't know, but there's probably a good reason she's not here yet.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

...maybe they already don't like her.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I don't know why they wouldn't, they don't know her...

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Because they bring people they already watched, right? They see everything.

And it's probably why they didn't bring Poseidon here.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

That's probably how it is...

Poseidon? The ancient Greek god of the sea?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

You know him?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I know of him, I had a book when I was younger all about the gods of ancient Greece.

Mother took it away, so I don't remember everything from it, but I remember it was a good book with a lot of information...

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

What do you know of the god Apollo?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's easy!

He's the god of the sun and light, and he's also the god of music, poetry, arts, prophecy, medicine, and a whole bunch of other things! He's one of the most diverse gods as far as representation goes, and that means he's also really important.

He's got a twin sister, Artemis, and the oracle of Delphi is dedicated to him.

...at least, I think it is. Did I get all that right?
