 		I'm pissed - I passed out last night as things were getting good.

The last two things I got were:

Apate wrote:
Names are powerful things. You don't just go throwing them out there. I ate Agrius. He's still angry. Allowing your heart to be filled with anger will only cloud it. I hope you don't make that mistake. There's also this friendly girl who brings me egg salad. She thinks she's a God; prattles on about comic books. Swears this Bucky person was created to undermine the ACLU..... or was it the UNCF....


And another from him..

Apate wrote:
Rare or just not such a chatty Cathy take your fucking pick Mr. share cropper.

The one being remarked on just lacks. You can lack, you can even be wrong.

I really don't see how you're missing it- just keep stepping in toe onto your toes. You miss that you'll miss what can't be

Enslaved in your own skin, clawing out the back of your eyes.

I am the one writing to you. Count your blessings lest they count you unworthy.


So it's obvious we have Apate acting as someone else now. Whether this is the Dolos side to it, I don't know; maybe it has something to do with the doppelganger, is all I can think of.

However, as an interesting point, Agrius has not said a word since I received those two emails.

 		I had to wake up early this morning, and went to bed last night earlier than usual. Of course I miss everything! Smile

Sent emails to both of them. Wish Agrius wasn't half bear. What would Stephen Colbert say!

Lots of Greek Mythology!
Some people were emailing a girl named Aisa, right? Going the Greek Mythology route I found this.

http://www.theoi.com/Daimon/Moirai.html

Aisa means destiny/fate (depending on the book/translation you use)

Quote:
Klotho, whose name meant 'Spinner', spinned the thread of life. Lakhesis, whose name meant 'Apportioner of Lots'--being derived from a word meaning to receive by lot--, measured the thread of life. Atropos (or Aisa), whose name meant 'She who cannot be turned', cut the thread of life.

Quote:
Atropos "inexorable" or "inevitable", literally "unturning", (sometimes called Aisa) was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of each person's death; and when their time was come, she cut their life-thread with "her abhorred shears".[8] Her Roman equivalent was Morta ('Death').


Depending on the sources you use, Aisa is a daughter of Nyx, and so is Apate.

http://www.theoi.com/Gigante/GigantesAgriosOreios.html

Quote:
AGRIOS & OREIOS (or Agrius and Oreus) were a pair of half-human, half-bear Thrakian giants. They were transformed into birds by the gods as punishment for their cruel barbarity.


So we have
Apate: Deceit
Dolos: Trickery, deceptiom
Aisa: Literally "death"
Agrius: Wild, half bear, half man thing, who was turned into a vulture

 		Yesterday was a bit crazy for me so I am glad to finally be caught up. I do have a questions about the pictures though. I took all of mine for my number, but was I supposed to space them out over the next 7 days?? I took them all within 12 hours of each other... Confused

Ho-hold up a second.

Take a step back. That first website that talks about Aisa:

Moirai wrote:
THE MOIRAI (or Moirae) were the goddesses of fate who personified the inescapable destiny of man.


Could the Nobility really be something akin to the Moirai? We know that at least Aisa is - she has to be. Yet she's only an 8, and a rather innocent appearing figure at that. But maybe there are more of her?

Also, this could be some epic foreshadowing...

Moirai wrote:
As man's fate terminated at his death, the goddesses of fate become the goddesses of death, Moirai Thanatoio.


The Moirai are considered the Fates, in some way, spinning man's thread of life. When it comes to its end, they transform.


So.. I actually spoke to Agrius a lot last night. And it wasn't really anything entirely significant, except the stuff that you guys found out too - that the Nobility don't like him, that he doesn't associate with them, etc., etc. Well, he really doesn't like them.

Right after Agrius stopped e-mailing me is when I got those e-mails from Apate that I don't think were written by Apate, unless it was him under some other persona. But remember what it said?

Apate wrote:
I ate Agrius. He's still angry.


I don't know who's speaking through Apate, but whoever it is... I don't think they ate Agrius. They silenced him, for sure, because he was starting to sound pretty heretical towards Quobe's motives -- to be frank, I think they just beat the shit out of him and locked him up, so to speak. I could be way off track, but it makes sense thanks to pr0ud's post.

I can't believe I missed the name connections with Aisa and Agrius.


Also, if anyone remembers from the e-mail correspondence I posted earlier, I asked Aisa if her and Apate were partners, and she did not sound pleased at all when I implied some sort of relation.


Makes sense. Turns out they're siblings.

 		Jeeze not to mention we still have more to meet I hope agrius is the only mean one. (Or as mean as they get lol Still I want to think up some good questions for him!)

What's next Hades? Rolling Eyes

Speaking of which Aisa has been quiet hasn't she? I still have yet to hear from her.


Edit: XD Probably keeping to being an A it'll be Ares or something

You want to get out? That depends on how far in you are.

I have gotten involved with this group called Quobe. I've been hearing things that make me think you may know more then is obvious. I am a little concerned with the amount of information I have given them. Do you know of anyone that can help me disentangle myself from them?

thanks for any help you can give me

 		and his answer is....
"Reply |Agrius Mikta to me
show details 4:52 PM (0 minutes ago)


If you really want to leave, talk to the Noblesse. If they refuse, return, and I may be able to help you force your way out."



Which leaves me wondering how to respond....hmmmm

 		Well I might need help
Very Happy errrr Very Happy

I think I made a noob mistake with my request to agrius. I'm trying to find out if tehre is an opposing group. I think he may have interpreted it as request to leave the game. I suppose I could just not respond... Errr. Help????please????

Edit:

I think I saved myself, sent this:

I have thought on what you said, I feel I have to stay, as I have friends who are also involved, I need to stay to protect them, especially from Apate Dolos. But perhaps if things Get scarier for myself or my friends, if Apate gets worse, I may ask for help again. I Thank you

Theresa

 		Ohh, that sounds interesting. I'd love to hear what "force your way out" means.

EDIT: Oh, so you didn't want out? Well, maybe just say "I don't know, maybe I still want to be in on this, sorry to bother you", or something?

You seem sane. To bad we're not dealing with you instead of Apate and Dolos.

Agrius
Quote:
And how are you 'dealing with' Apate and Dolos? Are you not dealing with the Noblesse, whelp?

Me
Quote:
I am dealing with the Noblesse. Fancy you knew that. But Apate and Dolos emails me, and the only advice Noblesse gives me is to tell them to "stop immediately" if they annoy me.

Agrius
Quote:
Perhaps there is something to learn. Perhaps you are not asking the right questions. Perhaps.

Me
Quote:
When I question them all I receive are riddles. I've never been good at them. But I'll take your advice, and keep questioning. Why do you have such hatred for them? They only amuse me.

Agrius
Quote:
Simply by knowing my name you have the means to find out why I hate them. But I have told others; I shall tell you.

Apate and Dolos killed me. I want my revenge. I wish to rip their head from their shoulders and burn their body.

Me
Quote:
Did they kill your siblings too? That's graphic, but if they killed you I can understand the hatred. How are you communicating with me if they slain you?

Agrius
Quote:
My siblings were slain in a great war.

Through some trickery of Quobe's, surely.

Me
Quote:
I'm sorry about your siblings. I'm not sure what you believe in, but I hope they are happy where ever they are. Knowing that Quobe may have helped kill them doesn't make me want to work with them. I don't support murder of any kind, no matter the reason.

Agrius
Quote:
You have misinterpreted what I have said. Quobe had nothing to do with their deaths, to my knowledge.

Me
Quote:
I apologize. I assumed when you said, "through some trickery of Quobe's" that they had a hand (indirect or direct) in their deaths, or had "tricked them"

So I presume Quobe wasn't involved in the war then?

Agrius
Quote:

I was referring to your second question.

I do not believe Quobe were around during the war. I certainly was not involved with them then.

Me
Quote:
I see. You are communicating to me through some trickery of Quobe's.

So they're not an ancient organization. I assume you are involved with them now then from your statement.

Agrius
Quote:
I am, though not by choice.
