I'm curious about something. I know a lot of mythology from my own world, but I'm interested in hearing about any another kind of mythology that's not well known on Earth around the 21st century. For instance, I remember reading a Greek story about how males and females were first created and I know there's differences between it and, say, Biblical mythology.

The one I remember reading was written by Plato. He said that humans used to be a mix of two people that consisted of one male and one female so they had two heads and eight limbs, but the gods didn't want them getting too powerful so they separated them into men and women. Supposedly that's where 'soulmates' come from, because you're looking for your other half. I'm also a little curious what people think of that story. [He absolutely does not have a personal ulterior motive for asking that particular question, none at all, nope.] Do you think there's any truth to it? That there's really such a thing as 'soulmates'? ... Or if it's even as limited as having to be between a man and a woman?

werent you 14 why are you in such a rush?

[hasadoctorsnote]

In such a rush for what?

[puzzlingly]

idek
werent you eager to find your soulmate?

「Nico, you're so confusing, dude.」

[hasadoctorsnote]

If I gave that impression, it wasn't my intention. I was just wondering what everyone thought on the subject. [And more so what people thought about the 'only a man and a woman' part so he knows to avoid the people who agree with that bit in the future, having a boyfriend and all and being born in an era where people got sent to concentration camps for being gay.]

[puzzlingly]

yeah im not buying that...

「Sadly, he doesn't know that.」

[hasadoctorsnote]

That's fine. [Atem's already said that he doesn't think a soulmate is restricted to a gender or a number already, and that's all that Nico was looking for. He can believe whatever else he wants to believe and it won't bother Nico.]

[puzzlingly]

thats cold man
but if youre sure...
good luck i guess

「>:P」

/just pops in here hi

[circumitus]

fucking hell slow your dough you two.

r00d

[puzzlingly]

yeah ive know some adults like that

「COUGHREYCOUGH」

she's a rude dude

[circumitus]

k.
shutup.

[puzzlingly]

now let the teenagers talk
and clean your room

"I'LL DO IT IN A MINUTE, GOD."

[circumitus]

[NO U.]

do i need to tell you what happens to assholes who try to tell me what to do these days?
do you want to find out?

[puzzlingly]

tell me!

[circumitus]

nah.

[SHE'S ABOUT TO SUMMON... yeah this is her last text card. Sorry, bro.]

[puzzlingly]

so anticlimactic...

[hasadoctorsnote]

[Ah yes, there's the person popping in with the 'you're still a teenager, you don't have to have everything figured out yet' advice.]

A bit belated but thanks anyway.

[circumitus]

just saying.
adults are fucking shitheels too.
most people seem to spend most of their lives chasing their own tails when it comes to that shit and fussing over things like "soulmates" isn't worth the effort.

[hasadoctorsnote]

Yeah, I won't argue with that. [He thinks of some of the gods or demigods or other mortal adults he's met back home and... yeah.]

[hasadoctorsnote]

I've been told my social skills need some work. [Quite a bit, actually... But as far as he's concerned about how this whole soulmate stuff affects him, there's only one way he knows to see if it ends up being true one day and that's just... to keep on living and let whatever happen happen.]

[puzzlingly]

you actually seemed pretty okay to me
im just pulling your leg

[hasadoctorsnote]

I guess thanks then?

[He'll take 'pretty okay' over 'get out of here and never come back, you creepy scum' any day.]

[puzzlingly]

anytime

「You need more friends, dude... Want a dead Pharaoh as friend?」

[hasadoctorsnote]

[He absolutely definitely always needs more friends. He's just not entirely sure what to do when he has them. What is being social.]

[puzzlingly]

「He could start telling him his name.



just

saying~」

[hasadoctorsnote]

[Nico just assumes there's some way to tell who you're texting with on these things but technology, how do it work, so he's never figured out it. Modern tech and demigods make a very bad combination back home.]
