[text: Athena] Not you, never you. Just a reminder to sort of…. All, and the folks who would. *coughTheRestcough* And so now they can’t deny that I warned them, hm?

[text: Athena] He wouldn’t dare. Did he? How do you know?

[greyeyedwisdom]

[text:zeus] True true. Hopefully this won't give any of the rest (coughcoughcoughdionysuscoughcoughcough) any excuses to steal mine and fly them from the flagpole. I still haven't forgiven him for freshman year, dammit.

[text:zeus] Oh, he would. I know all, remember? Spooky sixth sense? 

[text:zeus] You don't get his snapchats?

All I’ve done this morning is online shoe shop and watch How I Met Your Mother reruns — maybe it’s time to actually be productive.

If you really mean that and aren't just saying that, I've been wanting to reorganize my library and could use the help.

[text: group] If anyone forgets either their toothbrushes or underwear, I am just saying now that I will not be sharing either. Got to get it known. So don’t forget.

[greyeyedwisdom]

[text:zeus] You really think I'd forget something so basic? Ouch.

[text:zeus]:  99% sure Hermes used your toothbrush to clean a toliet btw

athena || goddess of wisdom

"so saying, athena touched him with her wand. she withered the fair flesh on his supple limbs, and destroyed the flaxen hair from off his head, and about all his limbs she put the skin of an aged old man. and she dimmed his two eyes that were before so beautiful, and clothed him in other clothing, a vile ragged cloak and a tunic, tattered garments and foul, begrimed with filthy smoke. and about him she cast the great skin of a swift hand, stripped of the hair, and she gave him a staff, and a miserable wallet, full of holes, slung by a twisted cord.”

Greek mythological figures  ↳ Athena (Ἀθηνᾶ, Athēnâ)

Goddess of intelligence and skill, warfare, battle strategy, handicrafts, and wisdom. According to most traditions, she was born from Zeus’s head fully formed and armored. She was depicted crowned with a crested helm, armed with shield and a spear, and wearing the aegis over a long dress. Poets describe her as “grey-eyed” or having especially bright, keen eyes. She was a special patron of heroes such as Odysseus. She was also the patron of the city Athens (which was named after her) Her symbol is the olive tree. She is commonly shown accompanied by her sacred animal, the owl. The Romans identified her with Minerva.

Five more minutes. Just five. Then I’ll get up…maybe seven.

[greyeyedwisdom]

I would love to believe you, but, you see, you said that seven minutes ago. And the seven before that. And the seven before that.
