Information gathering!

[2020sight]

Hey, gang! So, I floated the idea of a mythology comm a little while back, and a couple people pointed out that unless we're actually plotting together, that seems unnecessary. I'm still open to a comm at some point -- but until then, what I really want to do is get some Millicanon settled, and in one central place so that people can reference it easily.

Personally, what I'm interested in is stuff like what So-and-so has been up to for the last few millennia (settled down in Amsterdam? Roaming the world causing havoc? Hunting yaks in the Himalayas? Living in Milliways?) and where in time they are currently -- like, I know Medusa's primarily from the old days, and so is Cerberus, and Eirene's from the 1960s, whereas the Titanoi are from 2008.

Any other Millicanon information you think is important would be super-helpful, too. :)

The Muses are modern. They've been everywhere and done everything. At the moment, according to Rai they "each have a villa at home on Pieria. I have flats and houses in Los Angeles and Venice and Prague and Hong Kong and Osaka and little research stations on Earth's moon and Titan. Tere keeps places in L.A., New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, Rome, and Vienna. Cor's in Johannesburg, Moscow, Paris, New York, Tokyo, and Rio. Cli's got places in Rome, New York, Washington D.C., London, Athens, and Jerusalem. She and Cal kind of trade spaces a lot, so Cal's bunch are in Moscow, Dublin, Toronto, on the ruins of Troy, Cairo, and New Delhi. Mel and Lia never stopped living together, they share in New York, London, Paris, Vancouver, they have a cottage at Stratford still, Berlin, Moscow, Beijing, and Sydney."

"Nia's homes are in Cairo, Rome, Jerusalem, Mecca, Mt. Fuji, Athens, and a pied-de-terre near Stonehenge. And our Eri is in New York, Las Vegas, Rome, Venice, Paris, Madrid, Lesbos, Edinburgh, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam. And all of our homes are open to each other at a moment's notice."

Tere has hinted in the past that she's a higher-up in the music industry and definitely attends the Tonys yearly. She's also spent some time in Meg's Paris seeing her dance.
Eri has mentioned lingerie and sex toys as a professional pursuit.
Rai does consulting work for the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena and NASA at Cape Canaveral. She also travels interstellarly, on comets and so forth.

All the Muses were present when Shakespeare was writing his plays. Um...Tere and Aphrodite are on NOT GOOD TERMS.

Millicanonically, Tere has the ability to inspire people to randomly break out into appropriate song and also to nudge along instrumental skills. She can, if called on to, bring sections of the heavenly spheres into a humanly comprehensible form and play them. She's also capable of invisibility and has wings that are usually not visible, as is true of her sisters.

Eri is sexy. She seems to fall into bed with people a lot. It's Millicanonical that she has, when bored, seduced all her sisters multiple times. None of the Muses have any issues with incest, which makes sense, given the nature of Greek myth.

Rai lives outside the observation windows and frequently is seen being followed/orbited by a trail of miniature planets. She's sort of anti-social, unless pressed, and she is psychic and can see into the future.

Other than that...I have a metric shit ton of backstory that won't all fit in a comment box...
