Ithika for @junijwi birthday! Love this character sm.

[rden011]

Ithika, Remorse

She gave you the marvelous journey,

She has nothing left to give you now,

And if you find her poor, she won’t have fooled you.

She was the reason your journey started, your roots.

You will see all manner of wondrous things in your travels,

By the time you return,

Your eyes will no longer be clouded.

You will see that the place you struggled so hard to reach was just a measly speck,

Nothing left to show you.

But you will still hold it fondly in your heart, for it gave you a journey.

-Rden

Ithaka

By C. P. Cavafy. Translated By Edmund Keeley

As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, angry Poseidon—don’t be afraid of them: you’ll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, wild Poseidon—you won’t encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual perfume of every kind— as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to learn and go on learning from their scholars.

Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you’re destined for. But don’t hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you’re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey. Without her you wouldn't have set out. She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

Ithika | MM.1

Ithika nods.

"Everyone had their own motives. That much is clear."

They turn their attention to Emmeline.

"But the sad truth is that the initiative would have failed had we informed you of the full scope of the truth. There is growth in discovery. There is value in overcoming the stakes."

"Project Iapetus and the Prometheus Initiative were two efforts with different goals. And a certain someone was assigned to lead us-- someone who had somehow obtained knowledge that Encke and I have still struggled to obtain over the course of this project."

"You know who it is, don't you? What was it that they wanted?"

[2/3] Chapter 3 Async Event | N̵O̶ ̷S̴I̷G̸N̸A̴L̶

There's a brief moment of uneasy silence as Encke stares you down. Where were the ciphers taken? Are they okay? What do you do?

Panic threatens to rise. But then a low humming sound begins to rise above the static, consolidating the discordant noise into a single tone. Just the feeling of it resonating through your chest threatens to put you at an unnatural calm.

A second cryptic seems to manifest almost above you, and as it does the sky flickers into the colors of a television screen all across the basin. It doesn't scream or cry as it faces Encke down-- just stares, knowingly, at its twin, with censored eyes that can't be seen.

Atmospheric pressure washes over you as resonance and dissonance crash into each other in the air between the two polarizing cryptics, the force of each one enough to keep the other in a standstill.

RP blog for the odyssey/epic the musical (although it branches into percy jackson territory occasionally depending on what blog I'm interacting with)

In character post will be colored like this

"If Ares is talking it will look like this"

Don't be weird please (and no nsfw) and don't be mad if I do not present penelope the way you want this is supposed to be fun so let's keep it that way

I do not interact with blogs based around biblical characters as I am a Christian, and it just makes me uncomfortable I also will not be interacting with post that have slurs or other offensive language such as GD.

(Penelope will not have any romantic feelings for anyone other than Odysseus on this blog warning)

And of course don't take anything I say in character to heart I don't want to offend anyone if I come across as rude I'm so sorry I don't mean to

Also, warning things can be very violent on this blog I usually try to tag, but I may miss some.

And of course feel free to tag me and send ask! Your not being obnoxious I'd love to be tagged or receive a ask that's what I made this account for was for all yall to have fun and interact!

Also I'm the admin of the ooc discord server and community for greek mythos rps here on tumblr if you run a rp blog here on tumblr for greek myths send me a dm and I'd be happy to invite you to join!

Hm, it's interesting you'd describe the relationship as such, but alright. I'll allow it.
