There's been a question that has been bugging me since I arrived here.

Does the world carry on after we've been brought here, or does time stop? Have my parents lost their only daughter and are worrying? Or is it as if we were never there and they don't remember us? Does history take another path without us?

...

Are we ever going home?

( I've just seen a face, I can't forget the time and place... )

I'm of the opinion that learning to drive would be a useful life skill. It has nothing to do with the scary drunk people on the bus.

Anyone know of any good driving instructors?

Someone tried to make me join some religion today. It was monotheistic. I don't understand how you go from most of the world being polytheistic to a whole load of it only believing in one god. Needless to say, this was how the conversation went.

Me: I really have no intention of converting.
Man: Are you sure you can't be persuaded?
Me: I am most sure.
Man: Why is that?
Me: I'd get into a lot of trouble if I did.
Man: With who? Your family?
Me: Not quite.
Man: Who then?
Me: A load of pissed off gods who want revenge for me abandoning them so readily?
Man: ...
Me: It's not that they're disagreeable people or anything.
Man: This god is not angered by abandonment. Only saddened by it.
Me: Your god doesn't occupy the rest of the apartment complex you're living in.
Man: My god is everywhere.
Me: Does your god have shotguns?
Man: ...No?
Me: Then I think I'll stick with mine.
Man: ... Your gods have shotguns?
Me: A few of them.
Man: And they live in this complex?
Me: Yes.
Man: Who are these gods?
Me: Primordials, Olympians... a few mythological creatures thrown in there.
Man: Can I ask you a question, ma'am?
Me: Go ahead.
Man: Are you high?
Me: Incredibly so.
Man: Do you have shotguns?
Me: Should I bring them out?
Man: No, it's fine. I'm leaving.

It took a while to get rid of him. But I think that part of the conversation did the trick. He even took his flier back. He should consider himself lucky that I didn't start singing at him.

Besides that, my day hasn't been incredibly interesting. I'll talk to you guys later.

[sniff]

Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
My eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know,
There's just no gettin' over you,
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around,
And wait for you.

NEVER. LET. ME. WATCH. TROY. AGAIN.

'KAY?

That is all I have to say.

'Cause the power you're supplying is electrifying.

[end of transmission]

Not only did I sing at the mail man the other day, but I sang at the pizza delivery man.

...

The weirdest thing? ... He sang back >.>

Young hearts, run free.

Out there in that shiny night with bloodhounds on your mind. According to the people helping me start up my own design label, giving away designs/clothes for free (like back when the world was new and the planet earth was down on its luck) to you lot isn't a good idea seeing as though they'll be worth a lot once everything is up and running. So unfortunately now one-off designs will cost a lot more than free and normal designs will have to be bought in whichever boutique you can find that sells my clothes.

What is with my talking because, when you knocked, he thought you were the candyman? Cronus has a cruel sense of humour and that's the Gospel truth.

Oh dear.

I'm bringing my designs into the 21st century... well, my designs now incorporate military designs from both the 20th and 21st century. And now I design for men as well! Please let me know what you think!

Dress in the style of a nurse in WWII
Womens' military coat
Another womens' military jacket

Men's clothing. These have already been photo-shooted and cat-walked... I totally just made those words up >.>

Men's military jacket
Camouflage outfit
Military inspired outfit

Enjoy! Let me know if I can get you any of them. Prices will be given upon request. I'll be seeing everyone around! Hope you're all well!

I think my designs are really starting to go somewhere. I had my own section in a fashion show (examples here) and I've had a few offers from small-ish magazines for fashion spreads. The offers are great but I've been at this designing thing for a while and I think I need to think bigger. Someone in the studio mentioned something about my own design label but like hell I'm going to be able to start one of those by myself.

I still have this flu but I'm feeling better and I'm not letting it stop me from working. I work mainly from home anyway until I have a deadline for designs, etc. I think I might have to venture outside soon to buy more materials. The guys at work say they're more than happy to make up prototypes of my designs but I think making the first version of them for real is most of the fun. I have a company sewing machine as well. There was a choice between a company car (without chauffeur) or stacks of free equipment, materials, etc. and, seeing as though I can't drive, I went for the latter.

So things are looking up at this end, how about everyone else?

*sniffs*

... [there is shuffling as Andromache searches for tissues]

*sniffs*

I think... I caught that flu...

*sniffs*

I might lay low for a while. I don't want any unlucky uninfected to catch it.

*sighs*

See you guys around.

So I'm coping with the whole being permanently depressed thing all day. I just tell myself it didn't happen and that everyone is fine and well and he technically never existed. But he existed to him and everything happened to him but the worst thing. My brain is broken, I don't know why I'm only referring to people as 'him'. At least now my brain matches my heart.

I have to pull myself together.

[Filter: Ate]

Ate? I'm working on the design for your shoes. Do you have a preference when it comes to colour?

[Filter: Hector]

We haven't really spoken face to face since the whole zombie incident. I was wondering whether you'd like to have a sort of brunch type thing with me? You can choose what we eat? ^^;

[Filter: Nemesis]

We have to go drinking again. I enjoyed myself too much to care about the whole feel-like-dying aftermath part. Let me know when you are able to move?

[Filter: Public]

I'm not really sure what to write here. Anything interesting happening in anyone's life at the moment? Pray tell.

[Filter: Private]
Whilst hiding from the world, I've noticed I've been sighing an awful lot recently. I can't get that night out with Nemesis out of my mind. Sometimes I remember the funny parts, like Nemesis falling off the bar stool but then sometimes I remember what she told me. And then I think about that for hours.

I married Hector. Son of King Priam. Heir to the throne of Troy. One of the most understanding and most amazing men I will ever meet. The worst part is, he knows. He remembers us being together. At least, I think he does. He said he's from the ninth year of the battle of Troy, which means he must know. I must be so frustrating to him.

And then there's Astyanax. I had a son. He was my only son and he was thrown from the walls of Troy so he couldn't revenge his father. I lost both of them. How do you carry on living after that? How could I re-marry after that? I must be a monster.

I'm out of hiding for now. I don't even want to know what went on this week. My inspiration for clothes designing seems to have faded so would anyone like to request any clothing, shoes, etc?

*taps on screen*

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!

Hai. xx

EDIT: ( Just so you know where my characters have been for the past week :D )

Lady Natalia?... No, no, that's not right.

...

Lady Nemesis? [to self]Yes, that right.

Lady Nemesis, I think I might be dying. Like, really, dying.

You shouldn't have let me drink that much.

[groans]

My head feels like it's about to implode.

It was a sort of decent night out, though, I guess. Except for... well, we won't talk about that bit, will we? I'm still trying to remember how we got home.

The pixies were definitely a dream. At least, I hope so.

My job is going well. The company seems to like my designs. It's simple to design things when all you have to do is draw the last thing you wore in the old time.

This is my latest design. What does everyone think? I'm going to re draw that design with a few different colours.

I was also looking through some of these magazine things and saw a divine spread on ball gowns. I took inspiration from it and came up with this. It's a little different to anything I've ever designed but I think it came out well. What do you think?

Oh, yes, and what does one wear for a sort of formal dinner with a good friend and his sister?

This may cause controversy, but everyone has to stop being such gits towards Helen. Besides the gods, how many of you actually remember Troy or lived to see what happened? From what I hear everyone died in it which means that none of you could possibly know the full story through your own memories. So lay off with the insults because I have a feeling this modern mortal business isn't going to go away any time soon. Besides, everyone was fighting on opposite sides. You all killed each other for the Furies sake, so why are you all suddenly becoming friends?

So if any of you have a problem with being nice to Helen, you'll have to take it up with me.
