Hello to whomever might be reading this. My given name is Lara, and I am the current incarnation of Athena.


I've gathered I am not the first to bear her name, and I'd be interested in learning more about my predecessor. What sort of god was he/she? As I've begun settling into her temple here, I've found quite a lot of things that they probably left behind, and I also thought that perhaps it would be right to return them if any were on loan.

And I would also like to ask about the community's feelings on something. Truth be told, I've only recently begun to accept that the supernatural is real and there might be a higher power(s) at work. At least, until I woke up here and was hit in the face with it. It's a lot to absorb.

I'm feeling a touch overwhelmed and I'd like to know what role you believe a god should play. I've my own ideas, naturally, but I'm curious what others think. Do you want to live up to the legends of who came before? Do you want to change those legends into something else? Or is there something else you believe about divinity? I'm curious, so please, let me know your thoughts. It may help me better sort out my own.

I'm more worried about her not liking us and making trouble.

I came here with friends, but I like making a new family here. I know Sora is like that, too.

[They've got a pretty big family already that keeps growing.]

[adventurology]

We'll see! Maybe we'll get lucky.

Sora seems like the sort who'd befriend anyone, regardless of whether or not they deserved it. I've not run into someone quite so outgoing before.

[missingache]

Lucky like she or he just wants to be a mom to everyone?

He's always been like that. It's what a lot of people like about him. Or really dislike.

[adventurology]

Nothing wrong with that.

Or with being outgoing. He isn't the pushy sort, I felt.

[missingache]

Being everyone's mom sounds exhausting.

He can be pushy. If he likes you a lot it can happen.

[adventurology]

I know. I couldn't do it. I can barely look after myself sometimes.

We'll see though, but I doubt I can get sick of someone so enthusiastic.

[missingache]

Then hope you get a shinki that likes taking care of people?

You can always tell him to stop and calm down. He'll listen to that.

[adventurology]

Honestly, I think I need a Shinki that will just tell me to stop being so bloody impulsive.

[missingache]

There's not a lot of those. I know mine aren't like that. As long as I come home they're happy.

[adventurology]

Hah, well, hopefully that keeps happening, Roxas. :)

[missingache]

Is your shinki like that?

[adventurology]

I don't have one.

[missingache]

Not even a souless one? I got one of those when I first got here. Not really that useful.

[adventurology]

I have been assigned one, and she's not terribly talkative. I'm not even really sure what to consider her, but I named her Ingrid, and she's an ax.

[missingache]

That's a soulless shinki. Not all of them are the same. Mine fought me in its own way. So I named him Seifer, but I never used him.

[adventurology]

I didn't have much choice, what with the zombies.

[missingache]

We noticed that every ten days or so there's new shinki and gods. Maybe you'll get a real one then. So if zombies show up again, you'll have someone that can talk to you.

[adventurology]

Well, we'll see then, won't we.

I'll certainly keep an eye out.
