Coach: Okay, let's come back together.
[the others gather on the call]
C: The break was helpful. I find that we might add something, take something away, or change something, or all three. The easiest this time is adding something, I guess. Icarus, if you have a companion flying with you would you be so enthralled by the draw of the sun.
I: Likely not. I wouldn't want the responsibility of something bad happening to the other person.
C: And Frurtle, how much would it help to have some help?
F: Wonderfully. I could make much more progress without so many errors. I'm never fond of details.
I: Really? I always thought of you as the goto detail personality.
F: Not really, I don't see the point. If I write "throw the clothes over their"—spelled t-h-e-i-r—what difference should it make? The reader knows what I meant.
C: Let's think Big and mythological.
Revu2: I once ran workshops on personal mythologies. So let me think ... what about Daedalus, Icarus' father?
F: Let's think up a list and then discuss it.
I: Like a brainstorm. I love brainstorms. Whose that goddess that is turned into a spider?
R: Arachne, a mortal. She gets killed then resurrected as a spider by Athena.
F: Shh, remember no criticisms! Mercury! He flies like Icarus but never crashes.
I: Hold on a sec.
C: And not many know her but Caissa is the goddess for chess. Kasparov would say with a winning move "Caissa was with me today."
R: I think we have plenty. Let's keep them all.
C: It's getting crowded.
F: I know, let's finally let Icarus die.
I: What? NO!
F: Yes, let's let Hercules bury you on Icarus Island and we all attend the ceremony. It's just imagination-acting. You're not real, you know.
I: Neither are you! But this would spell the end to mania. Rev, tell them how much fun mania is. They don't get it.
R: Since you asked, it's great fun. The greatest! But I can't recover as fast like I used to after the crash, sometimes because the damage is so severe when you crash.
F: And I can't always get the pieces put back together.
C: Oh, geez, that's our time. I have my next appointment to get ready for. See everyone next time. Really hate to cut this off.
I: But, but ....
