Help, I'm panicking! I don't know you well enough yet to know what to get you-

What do you want for your birthday!?

Help, I'm panicking, I don't know you well enough to know what to ask for!

Nah forreal though, asking for stuff feels weird as an adult, I don't like the feeling of pointing to something and being like hey, get me that. I guess I have a bit of a weird relationship with money like that? Usually on my bday we try do stuff rather than buy stuff, so maybe, do you wanna do something? You said you sing in bars and stuff, right? Wanna hit the town and do a karaoke night? Or open mic together? I think I'd like that.

	That sounds so wonderful! And yes, I have a pub I perform in. But a karaoke night sounds amazing. Would you like to bring anyone? Could I bring my girlfriend, Thalia? She is super excited to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lemme talk to Rosario real quick!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wonderful! OH WAIT! Thalia is her aunt. I don't feel like it would be fair to spring that on her on the night. Thalia knows she's her aunt as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know that?? Thalia knows that?? That was literally just what I was messaging her about but how do you know that?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollo. Announced he had a daughter to everyone. He didn't give specifics but then he said to Thalia that his daughter's best friend was you, so we figured it out. So yes, we know. Did Apollo not TELL Rosario he was telling people?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh my goooooooooooooooood. NO he did NOT. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2021-12-09 09:04 am UTC (link)
	Well that is very Apollo of him. I am promise you Thalia isn't like him. At all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lyra_yes 2021-12-09 09:07 am UTC (link)
	What do you mean? What do you know about him? I mean as a god? I know what he's like as a frat boy but you must know the god-him better, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh just...he's very cocky and self-assured. I don't know him all that well, no. We've never had much in common in the past. My two most recent partners have been/are muses though, and he's Musagetes. So I suspect he checks up on me to make sure I'm not screwing up.

Is he being kind to her? He sounded thrilled and he was talking about how brilliant she was, which is obviously true.

	HE SURE IS COCKY AND SELF ASSURED, ISN'T HE. ~~Barging in on my birthday like a DICK~~ Oh jeez I think I gotta, like, holdfire for a sec and talk to her bout this. (Whe you say he told everyone, who exactly is everyone??) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2021-12-09 09:22 am UTC (link)
	Yes, which I don't handle well. Self-esteem is great! What he has isn't that. Right, yes. Of course you do. I'm sorry. I'm sorry this has turned into a mess. He was pretty openly talking about it. Seemed to be mostly Greeks who replied to him. Most of the muses, Aphrodite, Hermes, Artemis, Athena, some of the Fates. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it's easier to meet Thalia later we can have your birthday just you me and Rosario. Just us, easy and fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Here I was thinking we could maybe try tell my fam a couple of days before and maybe they'd come along and watch and it'd be all great and drama free hahaha SURE Lyra, family, drama free, AS IF, RIGHT? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2021-12-09 09:36 am UTC (link)
	If you want to do that, I will gladly do that with you. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to- I'm so so sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lyra_yes 2021-12-09 09:45 am UTC (link)
	I do. Drama or not, here I come, right?? Also no, don't apologise, it ain't your fault. Blame goes only to people who've done something wrong and that ain't you. Trust me, I basically lived in my high school counsellor's office when I was sixteen and I picked up a few truth nuggets that year and that's one of em. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2021-12-09 09:50 am UTC (link)
	Here we come. Hey, I can do the confetti thing if it gets awkward? That is definitely a very good nugget. One of my favourites, just above chicken. I just want so much to make your birthday wonderful. I have a daughter and it's her birthday and I get to celebrate her! What could be more amazing than that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lyra_yes 2021-12-09 10:01 am UTC (link)
	Any excuse for confetti, maybe?? She was a very good counsellor. Without her and Rosario that year I dunno how much of a mess I woulda been. I mean, you prolly also got a few hundred years of Catholic guilt ganging up on you too, right? But yeah, fuck it, let's go singing just us and figure everyone else out afterwards? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2021-12-09 10:08 am UTC (link)
	Any excuse! Oh, there's plenty of that going on up here. I'm so glad they were there for you. I'd be a mess if my dear friend Clio hadn't been there for me a few years ago. Here's to the people we can trust with our whole selves. Sounds perfect! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey here's the plan, then- how bout you me and Rosario hit the town for some karaoke, then end up at that comedy club and meet Thalia there at the end of the night? (And Merlin? Will Merlin be there?) You down? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2021-12-10 09:01 am UTC (link)
	That sounds perfect! It's going to be so great! Merlin might be there? He's hard to predict! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Awww well, so long as you and Rosario are there it's all good with me 💚 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I feel the exact same way! (Reply to this) (Parent)
