Thank you, corrected.
Who can say for certain what's in Superman's trunks?I bow to your superior experience.
Also, you just said that Superman has a tiny penis.
Why u do this? Why?
Or it's a horrible miscommunication where she thought that she had accurately communicated her intentions and the cultural divide was just so great that neither of them realisedOk, so either she's lying or hes lying, given Pauls empathic vision didn't trip any alarms with the dude my guess is that she went out to try to find a breeding stud, ended up actually falling for the guy, panicked because she had gotten into the relationship based on a lie and decided to get out of there rather than come out with the truth. Which is extra fucked up when you remember she's already married.
This situation has gone from scolding an amazon that didn't think about the implications of differing social norms to potentially full on Telenovela.... APRHODITE GET THE POPCORN!

Wait, £200? *blinks, checks conversion rates* I don't remember paying that much for it... *checks bottom of keyboard* Oh, this is a G815, which has a $50 cheaper list price. The G915 is the wireless version. And I think I might have gotten a discount on it, too, though it's been a while so I don't remember for sure. But I expect this keyboard to serve me for a very long time.
Usually one word.
My money is on she found out the hard way that men aren't as an easy lay anymore and was getting a bit desperate as the no's started piling up."He didn't know she was from Themyscira."
Karyne puts her hands on her hips.
"That is not what she told us."
I wanted to link to a video here, but I couldn't find it. While it's true that men and women lived separately, Sparta didn't celebrate same sex romantic relationships in the way that Athens or Thebes did.
Thank you, corrected.
I'm not a historian, but is courtship a big deal in the time period of Greece back when the Amazons weren't separated from the rest of the world?Rina raises her right eyebrow. "'Dating'?"
"Arranged meeting during courtship where the two people involved find out whether they're compatible."
Her eyes widen, and she inclines her head towards Medina, who shakes her head.
"No! I just met him several times to ensure that he was of good character, then we had sex several times until it took."
"That's the same thing."
She frowns. "It is?"
"Chloe! Chloe!" Karyne unhunches and dashes over to her wife. "The city-women, they can make finger-penises

Ah, looks like she's the mature voice of reason amongst her group. Let's hope she can help sort things out without too much shouting. At least, other than Medina getting a solid chewing out concerning modern relationships and the expectations involved...22nd December 2012

"…understand why you think that, but that's not what happened."
Karyne nods, though I can't help but think that she looks a little disappointed.
Oh, ho, that story has spread, and people are already misunderstanding it. I expect the Pavlova will have a quite interesting childhood in the years to come."So you did not sire every newborn in the city?"
"No. Um. And it would be unwise for me to sire more than a couple in any case. They would all be half-brothers and half-sisters, so the risk of-."
Yes, OL, they are farmers, and they do understand breeding. Especially the potential for mutations. As for the viability of divine lineages, keep in mind: Some Hellenic heroes have Zeus pop up in multiple places in their family tree...Okay, they're farmers, so I'm going to assume that they know that inbreeding is bad, even if they don't know what genes are, but a technical explanation using words that Themysciran Greek doesn't have isn't going to help.
"Their own children would risk being malformed." She nods. "I was not aware that was a problem for demigods."
...Man, Themyscira could well become the next big Spring Break destination of word of that got out."I wouldn't want to risk it just in case."
"Then, how did the children come to be? You implied that they did not cross through the gateway during the Festival."
...Wait until you meet your first drunken frat boy, and then ask that."I haven't told the rest of the world about the Festival, and I really don't think it would be a good idea."
She frowns. "Why?"
...Honestly, I could see that becoming a popular tradition. Especially amongst the aforementioned Drunken Frat Boy demographic."Because we're talking about men who aren't familiar with Themysciran culture, and I'd rather avoid a great brawl."
She perks up slightly. "We could have them fight one another for the prize of impregnating us?"
...Ah, she has a thing for gentlemen fighting, eh? Keep in mind that traditional Hellenic pankration was normally done nude."That-. Not on short notice, though if you really want to hold a… A studding tournament, I… Could organise that. If you really wanted."
"I will be third, so it will not be for a few years yet. But I thank you for the offer and will consider it." She looks away for a moment, smiling slightly guiltily. "So where did the children come from?"
Oh, she's gotten completely the wrong idea, hasn't she?"To put it simply, I can take a small part of the body of one woman, turn it into the part of a man which quickens a woman's womb, and ensure that she becomes pregnant with it."
Her eyes widen and her right hand clamps over her mouth.
Hey, never know if she's got a hidden knowledge of anatomical sciences as they were during the mainland days...
...Yep, she's picturing something entirely inappropriate.
Well done, OL, she's literally about to ROFL. Amusingly, I've had moments like that, where laughing irrationally overrides the need to breathe... I'm sure we all have.She doubles over, arms clasping her chest as she tries to stop laughing long enough to breathe.
Um.
...Yeah, she definitely pictured something inappropriate. And hilarious.The front door opens and another woman walks in. Her skin is a little paler and her hair is brown rather than black.
"Chloe! Chloe!" Karyne unhunches and dashes over to her wife. "The city-women, they can make finger-penises!"
'Cult' is probably the best way to explain a Lantern Corps, I guess.Chloe look puzzled as Karyne embraces her for stability as she starts laughing again, then she looks over Karyne's shoulder at me, squinting and shaking her head in mystification.
I shake my head back. "That's not what I said. Just that I had a way for one woman to make another pregnant without needing a man." … "Other than me, to enable it. Though a woman from-. Of my cult could do the same."
Yes, I do vaguely remember that little discussion he had with... Someone? Where he explained his views on fatherhood. Most notably wanting to avoid the 'fire and forget' type of relationship.She frowns, and appears to be a little disturbed. "Why?"
"Some of those women have been together for millennia, and they preferred having a child related by blood to both of them to being intimate with a man. An attitude which I understand much better than what Medina did."
Well, that dampened the mood right quick."Ah." Karyne straightens up, humour fleeing. "Yes."
"What.. did Medina do?"
Ah, good to see Karyne's not the only sensible one in the poly.Karyne shakes her head. "We're waiting until everyone is here. They… Want us… Her, to explain herself in the forum."
"That is no surprise. When Queen-."
Carry how? Bridal-style? Fireman's lift? Is she clambering to his head and shoulders like a cat?"Aaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
They both glance around, but the screaming sounds more excited than anything else. Through the wall I see Kal-El carry another woman into the courtyard.
...Yeah, I'm going with the third option. And also picturing Daffy Duck when confronted with a large pile of money.
Ah, the quirky one? No doubt they have lots of laughs over her antics.Chloe rolls her eyes and walks back outside.
"Tryphena, let him go."
Sorry, he's got a prior claim. And she's a lot stronger than you are, honey.
Hmm. I'm betting Rina isn't interested in taking part in the old 'baby-seeking expedition' tradition."No. Medina has upset people and the forum wants to talk to us."
Kal-El comes in first, with Tryphena following him with a decidedly predatory look in her eyes. Chloe looks awkwardly at the back of Kal-El's head for a moment, then turns back to the main gates as Medina and Rina approach from the animal pens. Medina isn't showing in the conventional sense yet, but a quick scan shows that the foetus is in good health. As they enter the room, Rina doesn't look particularly happy about us being here. Medina on the other than-
Oh, this is going to be entertaining.
Don't take one small farm as a barometer of the whole island, OL. I don't doubt there's groups that embrace the man-hating ways.Which is hopeful, in a way. If backward-looking women in the backwoods of Themyscira don't object to having men around, then I don't think I need to worry about the minority who do having a support base somewhere.
"Not at this stage. Medina-."
Lady doesn't seem too concerned about all the trouble she could be in, does she?"Felix isn't happy. The Queen already sent word about that."
Kal-El nods. "Apparently, you didn't mention that you were from Themyscira. Not until you were leaving."
...Not mentioning it at all doesn't count, honey.
I mean, the average Amazon is a fairly fit, attractive young lady. It's not like they have glowing marks all over them that declare 'Themysciran Amazon' to all and sundry."Medi!"
"I didn't! I think I-." She frowns, trying to remember. "I said I was Greek, from an island, and that I was a Hellenist. I remember that clearly, because we talked about his god and the burning cage in the sky. I don't clearly remember saying that I am from Themyscira, but…" She looks awkwardly at Kal-El. "Wasn't it obvious?"
No 'Well, that's his problem' response? I do hope you plan to be reasonable, then."Not according to him. He thought that you were dating."
"Ah."
Something which might have taken place occasionally back in the day, but not as often as modern folks do.Rina raises her right eyebrow. "'Dating'?"
"Arranged meeting during courtship where the two people involved find out whether they're compatible."
...Yeah, those are dates. Complete with First, Second, Third bases and the Home Run.Her eyes widen, and she inclines her head towards Medina, who shakes her head.
"No! I just met him several times to ensure that he was of good character, then we had sex several times until it took."
It is these days. Though the sex isn't always involved.
Yeah, that's about what I was expecting. Just a huge miscommunication due to completely different cultures. And one of them being an idiot.
I very much like this chapter and all the hilarity it brought forth.
Long story short.I'm not a historian, but is courtship a big deal in the time period of Greece back when the Amazons weren't separated from the rest of the world?

Thank you, corrected.
I don't know, my dating was far less successful than that."No! I just met him several times to ensure that he was of good character, then we had sex several times until it took."
"That's the same thing."
She frowns. "It is?"
