Tales from the Gods' Tavern

Kids and Wives
So now it's the year 14; or it will be once calendars are a thing. And Apparently I have some potent-ass jewels because I have a total of 8 kids from 2 wives. Yes I have two wives now. Pretty sure that's gonna be the limit because one of them is Andarta, a goddess of war. She may be jealous. Now while Goda isn't a goddess (That I know of), she is definitely jealous. And she's not exactly happy that every time we do the dance with no pants, she winds up pregnant. That said, there's alternatives - we're all adults here, I'm sure you brilliant twits reading this can figure it out for yourselves. We've settled into a routine of sorts, as the years go by. Andarta and I have our children spend a year with me, and a year with her. We each raise them as we see fit, and I'm proving to be a decent-ish dad. Weird. Andartas' first daughter is Boudica, and there are twins en route.
I don't need a baby name book, I *am* the baby name book.
I think part of why Goda's jealous is because Boudica's the child of two gods, and as such is growing up much faster than the Fearsome Foursome. Which makes sibling fights tests of how sturdy I can make the walls. And while all of them do have the abilities of a god, I'm pretty sure the children from Goda are going to be the second string. Boudica hits...well, not like a truck, but a well built Volkswagen. She has cracked my ribs a few times, and...ooof. Has anyone else noticed tempers flaring a lot or is it just me? Anyway, I really need to be creative with a few things, especially when it comes to channeling everyone in a positive direction. Hopefully they'll be able to figure out where they are and how their places work.
Now the down sides of all these relationships is that I'm definitely not going to be invited to Olympian banquets. And in fact there's a sub-group of Vulcans' children who are accosting my followers in the streets. Even killing. This does not please me, so I am going to have to figure out a truce with Vulcan and make sure everyone plays nice. How I found out about the subgroup involves a night with Bacchus. On the up side of that, I had a great time and found out what I needed. On the down side, I woke up with a pig. Literally. in a sty. With an epic hangover. But with all that done, things are in motion - events are taking place soon that may require my attention. Specifically, the death of Augustus. And with that in mind, I may need to take a quick trip to the lands of the Marci tribe.
