Don't Panic, But...

[sockhopsolly]

Some of the coolest threads come from just putting characters in situations! This meme is a chance to do just that.

How to Play:

1. No blank top-levels. Put a "don't panic, but..." statement in your top-level. Examples:
   • "Don't panic, but my father's coming and I need you to hide me."
   • "Don't panic, but everyone's throwing up."
   • "Don't panic, but I think something just exploded around the corner."
   • "Don't panic, but there's someone following you."
   • "Don't panic, but your shoes clash with that purse really badly."
2. Respond to other people's statements. Maybe you can help them. Maybe you can make the situation worse. Maybe you can't help but panic.
3. ????
4. Profit

Don't panic but I may have snagged someone with one of my arrows... and it's causing a international crisis.

[aspolyhymnia]

Before I am conscripted to help; who is involved?

[ascended_desire]

A saudi prince and the son of a senator.

Though I don't see why it needs help "fixing." Humans are overreacting as usual.

[aspolyhymnia]

I think that sounds like a charming match to challenge the views of many people.

[ascended_desire]

As do I.

But if anyone ask, it was an accident. Not intended.

[aspolyhymnia]

Absolutely an accident. If it happens to be interesting, that’s just luck.

[ascended_desire]

The last thing I need is another judgmental talk from Hera.

[aspolyhymnia]

I wish that on very few.

[ascended_desire]

Sometimes I think she loves the sound of her voice.

[aspolyhymnia]

She does love it

[ascended_desire]

That's your expert opinion?

[aspolyhymnia]

I’m only an expert in hymns.

[ascended_desire]

As a muse, I'm sure you have met several people who are in love with their own voices.

[aspolyhymnia]

Many of them, yes. Hera is in love with herself most of all.

[ascended_desire]

Oh I'm sure there are a couple whom are worse. Like Narcissus for one.

[aspolyhymnia]

Hera just hates all of us that aren’t hers.

[ascended_desire]

I most certainly won't deny that she's very jealous. Luckily, I wasn't a result of an affair of Zeus but one between Ares and Aphrodite, so I get a little more slack.

[aspolyhymnia]

The Muses are certainly not on her favorites list.

[ascended_desire]

I'm not sure why. You mostly deal with mortals, not gods.

[aspolyhymnia]

Zeus went and had nine of us.

[ascended_desire]

Ah... forgot about that part. Well that ought to do it.

[aspolyhymnia]

There are too many of us, really.

[ascended_desire]

Too many to keep track of indeed. [And somehow Percy Jackson claims Zeus hasn't had more kids over the last 2 millennia... tsk, tsk. No chance.]

[aspolyhymnia]

[As if Zeus has even once kept it in his pants]

How are you? I feel like I never see anyone anymore.

[ascended_desire]

I'm good, thanks for asking. I think a lot of us "gods of old" has moved on. There's no worshipers anymore. We're only known from the tales and myths that has been passed down and remade.
