Pitching In

On March 22, 2023March 7, 2023 By kesabethIn Calypso, StoryLeave a comment

Monday was bright and sunny, and she hated it. She’d called Circe the night before, who’d told her men were idiots and not to worry about it. “He’ll either come round and make things up, or you move on and find someone better.” Circe didn’t understand that, for Calypso, there was no one better. She …

He cocked his head as he leaned on the counter. "Well? Hand it over, I don't have all day." Calypso frowned, confused. "Hand what over? We doing have any packages to go to Z Corp." She glanced at Aaliyah, who nodded agreement. Hermes gave a long-suffering sigh. "Your overnight bag. You know, whatever boring outfit …

Calypso waved from the midst of greeting Holly and Ivy, then closed the door and looked at the keys in her hand. It’s not like they didn’t mean the world to her. He’d given her the keys to his home. At least that’s what Cernnunos had implied, maybe he’d just lent them to her to …

The Waiting Game

She arrived at the office early on Friday, not surprised to see a small crowd of people waiting at the door. From the look of things, a few of them were about to fulfil Aaliyah’s hopes. The deadline was midnight, and there seemed to be a lot of people who’d left it very late to …

She frowned in turn and wondered. Was everything alright? She sighed and leaned in to him. “I think there’s just a lot going on in my brain. Once the submission’s in and I can get back to normal, I’ll hopefully start paying attention again.” Herne chuckled, as she’d hoped he would, then wandered with her …

Brewing Trouble

She focused on filling the kettle for tea. “They’re a bit short-staffed at the practice at the moment and he can’t get away.” She plonked the kettle onto its stand and switched it on. “I haven’t pushed him about it as I know he’d come if he could, and I don’t want to make him …

Event-full

Wednesday brought a message from Jason. Hey Petal, for our wedding, would you rather share a room with Calliope or Thalia? What? She was staring at her phone, confused, when Dionysus propped an elbow on the desk. “What’s got you all kerfuffled, Pretty?” Calypso replied. “Why is Jason asking who I want to share my …

She headed straight home, itching to transfer the notes into her planning files and make a start on some mood boards. Jason grinned as she walked through the door. “Event-free evening? What a relief!” She smiled back. “Absolutely.” Inside, she kicked herself, she couldn’t work on this project in front of Jason and Hercules. They’d …

Tangled Threads

Arachne put the lid on the now-full box and said. “While the drink sounds fun, I would prefer to see this back in my workroom.” Hermes pouted, but hoisted the package onto his shoulder and followed Arachne to the lifts. Calypso accompanied them to the entrance – she had visions of Hermes making detours around …

Fitting Time

All too soon it was Friday, and Calypso was waiting for Arachne to walk through the front door. She was on time, which was hardly surprising. Her companions were a surprise. Athena strode through the door, then stopped and looked around. Then looked behind her. “I really need to stop believing anything you say, this …
