* A GOLDEN CAGE IS STILL JUST A CAGE.

LUX HARMON / CIRCE. there's a room where the light won't find you, holding hands while the walls come tumbling down. when they do, I'll be right behind you. so glad we've almost made it, so sad they had to fade it. everybody wants to rule the world.

“I’ll give you ten dollars if you can guess which hand the money is in.” Ben waved a crinkly ten dollar bill in front of him, grinning. “But you owe me just one dollar if you lose. Wanna play?”

[ichorpharmakeia]

“If anyone is stupid enough to fall for that, they deserve to lose more than a dollar but if you want one that bad, I’ll give you it for free.”

“ — don’t you ever get tired of this mundane life? ”  he can’t imagine how anyone could just — settle for this dull lifestyle.  well, other than the ones who clearly got the short end of the stick during their past lives.

“if your life is so mundane, you’re doing something wrong. what’s the alternative, going back to olympus ? it’s been thousands of years, clearly that’s not an option.”

Lux sits in the God Club lounge, a book of wild animals from Africa sits on her lap. Beside her are other books, all with animals located on different continents. “If a hamster was not a hamster and was, say --” she doesn’t look up as she starts talking but had spotted the person from the corner of her eye, “ -- a much larger, more wild one, which animal would it be ? ”

“Can I maybe used your phone to google how to fix a leaky roof? I haven’t paid my phone bill so I can’t really use it and there’s gonna be rain soon and I don’t really wanna come home to a bunch of kids using the beds as canoes and shit.”

[ichorpharmakeia]

“I don’t own a cell phone. If I did people would try to contact me and I really didn’t move out to the middle of nowhere to still be in reach of human contact. Aren’t pay phones still a thing? There’s a phone in the shop but I don’t know you enough to care enough to unlock it again.”

     to say that thorne was in a bad mood was a slight understatement. sure he got hit by a car but there wasn’t any damage to the nissan’s body so he didn’t understand why he couldn’t just go. sitting cross-armed in the street, he huffed, much like an oversized toddler when a shadow loomed over him. “before you ask, yeah, i looked both ways before crossing the street. i looked both handsome and radiant, too bad i still got hit by that car.”

[ichorpharmakeia]

lux had only been in the city for work and was about to cross the street after closing up when she witnessed a familiar face -- getting hit by a car. this was going to be the highlight to her day. she’s quick to run over and join the onlookers, barely containing a laugh. “were you crossing the street with a mirror ? oh, wait, let me guess, it was jay-walking, wasn’t it ?”

[ KACEY ROHL. CISFEMALE. SHE/HER. ] LUX HARMON aka CIRCE has been a member of the God Club for FIVE YEARS. This time around they are TWENTY-SIX years old and a HERBALIST. They ARE NOT devoted to returning to Olympus because THE GODS DESERVE TO SUFFER. Currently they only possess the power of TRANSMUTATION.

hi it’s kat again and i still don’t fucking spellcheck

my interpretation of circe is primarily based off of the book by madeline miller

circe

she’s the goddess of sorcery but also specializes in transmutation, illusion and necromancy

she was banished to the island of aeaea due to zeus fearing her power bc she was out there turning men into gods and nymphs into hideous sea creatures

she learned to go magic and became one with the island

she liked to turn men into pigs and then kill them

odysseus was the only one who beat her with the help of hermes. the two had a son together

she just wanted to be alone but parents kept sending their nymph children who were rebellious to her

lux

prior to becoming reborn she felt very out of place, unwanted and unloved by her parents

her life didn’t really start until she became twenty-one

she remembers most of her past life and it’s made her quite bitter, a contrast to the quiet, timid girl she used to be

she joined the god club right away, but only to sabotage and watch the gods fall apart

as much as she hates only having a quarter of her magic, she can live with it if it means the gods never get to be at full power either

she doesn’t live in new york city, instead living away from the city and other people. she has a large property, most of which is covered in plants of various species and abilites

she’s a herbalist whose shop is located in new york city

lux has never read a god club newsletter in her life

she may or may not have murdered one or two or more men who honestly deserved it

unclear which of the animals she owns are actually animals
