Was he...was my sea only a dying dream?

What a strange afterlife this is. The stories always sounded so much better.

This isn't the afterlife. It's a different place from our former home.

[myownsea]

What kind of place?

[xworthless_onex]

Filled with humans who don't believe in what we know to be true.

[myownsea]

You...you mean gods? How could humans not believe in them us?

[blesseddeath]

I can assure you this is not the afterlife.

[myownsea]

Then where are we?

[blesseddeath]

New York.

[myownsea]

I've never heard of this place...

[inspiredvoice]

Stories are always better than reality.

[myownsea]

I loved enjoyed my reality. What it was before this at least...

[inspiredvoice]

The story is still better. They're cleaner, quicker, and seem gentler.

[myownsea]

But so much of them are lies...

[persephoniacal]

As others have told you, this is not the afterlife. If only it were. I might have some powers, then.

[myownsea]

Lady Persephone? Powers? Do you mean...are we mortal here?

[persephoniacal]

We are distressingly mortal, indeed, with mere echoes of our powers.

Darling, unless Cronus has meddled ever so tiresomely with my domain, rest assured that we are not quite so fond of "dying dreams".

Something about them just seems so kitsch.

[myownsea]

I'm sorry, it is just hard for me to believe that it was all for real...now that I am in this place away from my sea.
