First Street Bomb - [IM]
Hi. Bay Kennish, resident reincarnated God of the Underworld. I haven't really bothered with the whole talking through rainbows thing, but I do have a tiny complaint.
You've been great hosts making sure that we got to have all the 'fun' of kidnapping anyone who tried to leave this summer, one of your Gods tormenting people with the dead, being trapped by werewolves and finally keeping us here under total lockdown without any attempt at asking your guests if they would appreciate it.
But just because this is your camp, and we're only here because you invited us, doesn't mean you should just forget that we might have opinions and ideas about some of the things going on. Yes, we like the safety, but we also would like to know where the rest of us, both our pantheon and the fragmented souls of our Godly forms, happen to be. If they are safe, do they need us, would they like to catch a movie? Things we can't do from the inside of your hospitality.
We don't want to see the world destroyed again, but realize that we would like the freedom to leave you to your war with your Earth God if you keep treating us like we're your campers. Got it? Good.

Re: IM
Okay, so that one IS different then.
But the point is more that...I assumed, I don't know, that they had going on. There might be something that they can do if you ARE of the adult set then.
no subject
And now, even if we would like to strike out on our own, your barriers are now meant to keep us in.
We are not your siblings, and we are not your pawns.
no subject
Otherwise, I get your point. I just...think that this is maybe a Chiron issue, not a them themselves issue. But if you wanted to petition or assert or whatever it was, to them...uh the powers that be them... I WOULD actually support it. I just think it's maybe misplaced to go at them, the campers.
no subject
And this isn't directed at the campers, this is directed at whoever is in charge. I thought the heads of each cabin were involved in the process, and given that one of them is involved in the process of creating this lockdown, I would figure they used their own system of governance to decide on this course. Right?
If they can't point out this little flaw, someone else has to.
no subject
And okay, that makes a whole lot more sense, to clarify. All of it, that is. I can't imagine how frustrating all of this must be, in that case. Well, in any case, but...
no subject
A lot is going on, but that doesn't mean that Chiron and the others get to throw are needs away for a little temporary safety. It's stupid and absolutely worthless.
no subject
...Okay, yeah, in a couple years that might start to annoy me too, more than annoy if a lot of things are at stake the way they are for all of you.
I wonder if there IS some way to manage that while keeping everyone else safe. Not that one should take priority over the other, necessarily...
[Sorry but really? Needs of the many. Not that he's going to say it to her face, even in IM and he COULD probably be persuaded otherwise.]
It's just something to consider...if it might be done, and how.
no subject
You don't trade freedom for safety, and while Benjamin Franklin understood it. As someone housing an aspect of death, I know it a lot better. Everything ends, everyone dies, and no tricks you use to put it off will ever be enough to save you. So we might as well go big now, do whatever we can, and live bold lives and fight.
Anyone not willing to take their freedom might as well waste away now and I'll see them when she gets home.
no subject
[He only lost books so it's not AS dire but he WOULD like them back, at some point. They aren't as immediately potentially important though so there's that.]
Typically, no. I quite agree. But...there ARE younger kids here too. Demigod ones, mostly, which shouldn't apply to all of you, but...it's worth risking the safety of somebody who isn't able to handle things themselves yet? I mean...we aren't talking major abilities yet, I wouldn't guess.
[Cause, yeah. He gets it but...someone like Naomi or Charlie or something? It's something that has to be weighed when thinking about benefits for him.]
I've seen our initiates fight, when they were pressed, and they were pretty young, but...that was when pressed. If it's the sort of danger that's more easily avoided by not lowering the barrier....for now. It's a lot more to think about than it first seems, once you get going, I guess.
