Family on the godly side tends to be a bit complicated like that.

[ a nod. ]

Yes, but now I live in the United States. It's... across the ocean, to the west of the Ancient Lands.

[ragnarsson]

My family in general tends to be complicated.

[They're kind of weird, even for Vikings. Just ask about how everyone was sleeping with everyone else.]

The place they call America?

[He's been hearing about it lately. Someone made him a crude map, so he had a rough idea where it was.]

[deathkid]

You should meet mine some time.

[ for many years, he had a crush on his cousin, the son of poseidon. thinking about it now makes him feel a bit awkward. ]

Yes, that's basically it.

[ragnarsson]

We can compare them and see which one is worse.

[Families were always terrible and ones with divine heritage doubly so. Ivar's was full of complications, murder attempts, and brothers who did things like all sleep with the same woman.]

My step-mom is also my cousin and niece... I think. My uncle and aunt had her and then my father married her. He lured her to the underworld and then my aunt-slash-step-grandmother? got kind of pissed about it and caused the earth to experience six months of winter.

[ and that's not even counting how nico eventually starts dating his second cousin (?)... greek gods are full of incest, rape, and murder. nico heaves a sigh. ]

Demeter keeps trying to get me to help her with farming or eat more cereal but, ugh.

[ragnarsson]

I think I'd need a little chart with everyone's pictures on it to keep that straight.

[He suddenly feels both simultaneously better and worse about his own family.]

[deathkid]

Tell me about it. Imagine living with all your family's kids in one place too. Camp is just... weird sometimes.
