the very first.

[oflove]

You all look stunning.

[ A great feast is being held for all of you. ALL OF YOU when you come down from your little area in Olympus to see the most amazing layout of food in your entire lives. The Goddess of Love herself looks around you with intrigue. ]

Well, enjoy yourselves. And if you get along well... maybe fate had it in store for you?

[ ooc; OPENING PARTY POST, with a trick. Optionally, you might feel a pinprick of 'wow... that person looks amazing' before shaking it off. A little love at first sight that fades away in two seconds, leaving your character back to normal. Aphrodite can't help but have a little fun at your expense. With that out of the way! Party! Freak out! You're gods now! ]

[Hades poofs up right by Aphrodite, wearing a cheerleader outfit.]

Like, oh. My. Gawd. Did you see the look on her face, Aph?

[Oh wait, the clothes burn up and he's back to normal.]

Seriously. Aph. This is pretty disgusting. Where's the screaming and the pain? How is this even a party?

[oflove]

[ Rolls her eyes forcibly. ]

We don't do parties up here like you do.

[martelapproves]

[ HOLY CRAP SHE'S REALLY HOT FOR A HUMAN -- I mean what. Mithos is no longer smitten Despite the fact that he still looks like a kid and hasn't even bothered to take on his Yggdrasill form, he has never even bothered to dress this fancy even while serving as the lord of Cruxis. The food looks delicious, but... he hasn't eaten in forever, mostly because he's never had to do. But it looks too good to pass up.

Gingerly taking a seat at the table, the seraph looks at a very large pile of meat. It smells delicious... but he's almost forgotten how to eat at this point. ]

[ofdeath]

BOOM!

[Yeah, he's suddenly RIGHT THERE]

Kid! You look like you've got quite a bit of potential there.

[goodforflying]

[ Heeeere, have a tiny kid just randomly plop down next to you. No hello, no handshake but Tsubasa will reach for some of that meat as well {'move aside okay, you're in the way here'}, mind seemingly occupied with munchable things.

A bite, two, then his eyes cut to you. ]

Don't tell me you forgot how to chew. The food is certainly not going to do that for you.

[transmits]

Are you okay?

[donotpursue]

[Lu Bu will be over here checking out the goods. ... The food goods. Really. Aphrodite is hot stuff and all, but she's no Diao Chan.

... For a brief moment though, she does remind him of Diao Chan, at which point the towering hulk of Chinese power pauses. For a second, anyway.]

Hmph. Only a fool would waste such a feast!

[Drinks and all he can eat? Without anyone to have to suck up to and/or kill to get it? Not a bad start to godhood.]

[ofwisdom]

It is good to see someone here with a shred of common wisdom.

[Athena smiles from her seat, a golden goblet in her hand, though it's hard to tell if she was joking or not.]

PLACEHOLDER

[wingbacked]

[ how much food is this exactly

he's allowed to start eating already right

good because he is, fuck yes meat ]

[hyperresonance]

[ TOO NERVOUS TO EAT OH GOD HE'S IN CHARGE OF PEOPLE

PEOPLE

PEOPLE DIE WHEN HE'S IN CHARGE ]

[godyes]

[this young girl is certainly taking the opportunity to party to heart! in fact, she doesn't seem to be fazed at all; she's going all around the party, cheerily approaching pretty much anyone she runs into.]

Hi there! I'm Nora! What's your name?

DERP. Gonna edit this instead of delete it.

[silvereclipse]

[ Despite being a mostly-asexual hardass anti-social jerk, Ramirez does feel the brief interest in Aphrodite, though it mostly manifests itself as lust at first, before it fades. He spends a good amount of his time in the same room as Belleza, after all. He can suppress those kinds of feelings fairly easily.

Clad in somewhat more formal robes than others - styled somewhat in the same fashion as Ares' robes - Ramirez doesn't make any move whatsoever for the food. He's waiting for a certain God of War to show up first, since Ares is his designated Galcian replacement.

When the young girl approaches him, she just receives a scowl, without any answer whatsoever. ]

[firefists]

[ Of all the places he expected to wake up - or, technically, not wake up at all seeing as he was dead, - he hadn't thought it'd be something like this. He may have been a nice guy and all, but he was still a pirate. Pirate's didn't end up on fluffy clouds or anything, did they? Unless this was the Sky Island from the Grand Line, though why in the hell would he be there?

Oh well. He had made his peace before he died, said his goodbyes and finally freed himself from his life of regret. He would have liked to know how Luffy, Pops and the rest of his brothers had faired after he had fallen, but they were strong and resilient and he had no doubt of their abilities.

The little speech the new arrivals had been...odd and safe to say Ace didn't really understand half of it. But that didn't matter because as he made his way down to the party and there was food. Food was always good.

There's probably already bowls and plates and glasses stacked up because this boy can eat and the food is endless. So that's something everyone can enjoy. ]

[godno]

[ He's so handsome.

The way his hair flows when he whips his head back to engorge himself on another fork full of pulled steak. God, he's so handsome. He has a smile that could light the skies and intense eyes that could light fires in the hearts of any mortal woman, and perhaps a young psychic.

She'd never felt this way before. What if he swept her off her feet, offered her the finest of colorful foliage? His shirt wouldn't be rippling because he has no shirt. He has already come perfect, just the way he is.

And she has nothing to say. ]

semi-placeholder because I have to leave very soon

[noisyclockhands]

[ OZ IS REALLY INTO THINKING WOMEN PRETTY AND SPARKLING AT THEM, SO: SPARKLES! No, don't worry, the enchantment hasn't hit him harder than anyone else, he's just weird like that.

Can you tell? This is totally the face of someone who doesn't know what to do first {food--! but--people!!}

it's also the face of someone who is kiiiind of nervous. Not that he will admit to that, of course.]

[godno]

[ That's a smack on his shoulder! ]

Heeeey.

[unseenchaos]

[Is standing off to the side, feeling a brief strange sensation before it is swept away. Her eyes search around for someone there.]

[hyperresonance]

... do you need help? [ Always help someone in need of assistance. ]

[goodforflying]

[ Tiny person over here, ABSOLUTELY BUSY STUFFING HIS FACE LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS and somehow he manages to do that without coming up for air.

If you're standing close to Tsubasa chances are good that he'll get the food you're going for. THERE IS SO MUCH OF IT but he will end up taking that one piece of whatever it is you wanted. Accident? Chance? Bad personality? That's up to you.

Luckily, there's more than enough for everyone. ]

[hyperresonance]

... How can you stand to eat with everything they just told us?

[ofwisdom]

Playing games already, Aphrodite? I hardly think they need your... unique charms on top of everything else.

[oflove]

If I don't start the fun, who will?

[godno]

[ She's bouncing on a cloud and looking at the ground below, some distance away from the feast. ]

How can you guys eat when you could look at what's going on down there?

There's-- people! People wearing my jewels and bows! And statues of me! It's so cool!

[martelapproves]

Congratulations.

[ Meanwhile he has nymphs who want to have sex with him, Cyclopses who are killing passersby in his name, lepers who want him to cure them, angsty teenagers who want him to smite their parents for disciplining them, and sirens who are writing their next song as an ode to him somehow. Fun. ]

What are you goddess of, anyway?

[maidenly]

[as she gathers some food, Zelda's taking the opportunity to survey the crowd, a little surprised at the variety of people who have also been brought here. as someone who'd lived in one place most of her life, she's still trying to adjust... but at least she has company right? she offers a kind smile to anyone who approaches her, hoping her quietness won't deter anyone.]

[martelapproves]

[ Hey, look, pointy ears, someone who wasn't human before coming here! Have a kid who comes up to your neck come up to you and smile at you. She almost looks like his sisster! Only blonde. ]

Hi!

[ She looks like a full-blodded elf, but considering everyone else here looks human except Hades, he can't complain too much. ]

[overcame]

[FEAST. Damos is loving this - it's a tried and true celebration tradition, gathering the fruits of a hard year's work and digging in for a worry-free day of plenty. After all the initial shock and confusion, here's something familiar.

...He figures this isn't the kind of feast where everyone goes for the alcohol, though, which is one key difference. He has a good first impression to make, after all, as does most of the attendees...

While Damos is eating and chatting and having a grand old time, Pichu may be trying to nab fruit off of people's plates.

[overcame]

[...Also, is it just him, or are the women of Olympus...exceptionally beautiful...?]

[transmits]

[ then I guess I was a lesbian for two seconds.

she's taking what's going on very calmly, though her thoughts are very dark. of course, if everyone knew what she was really like, then it would just be horrible! time to put a very cheerful facade on. she is eating some sort of cookie. ]

Oh, very delicious! I've never had food like this before.

[wingbacked]

Neither have I. It's pretty good, huh?

[ the closest he's had is probably bad Italian food ]

[godmodoka]

[ kind of a placeholder but ]

This is all a bit flashy for me...

[firefists]

[ THERE ARE SO MANY LOLIS HERE. ]

Probably best to just enjoy yourself and not dwell on it for now.

[castofthought]

[ ....oddly enough, getting that feeling of admiring someone is all too unfamiliar to her. it only makes her more wary, on guard, and more tired. she's been tricked before into liking others, and she frowns at herself to letting that feeling come over her.

in any case, she looks at the food. why does she need it? (when was the last time she ate something?) she shouldn't be here. she doesn't want to be here. ] ....Ha.

[ guess that means it's time to wander around. ]

[martelapproves]

[ The whole time, Mithos has been struggling with the idea of "do Gods count as humans?" They sure look human, but he can't decide. So instead, he'll just... sit there, for now. Until she approaches. He'll give her an awkward glance, but continue eating. He hasn't eaten in several millenia, and now that he is... he can't stop. ]

[holyshit]

[Don't mind him, he's just staring in a mix of horrified awe and unwanted fascination down at his followers below, any and all food he had been eating set aside]
...

Someone please tell me why I happen to be the God of Flopping Dicks, because I'm pretty sure I didn't sign up for that!

[castofthought]

[ flopping. dicks. ] ...There are gods for everything. Even perversion.

[ flat toned. she has no fear discussing such things. after all, she would know all about the perverse. fetishes, that is. each of her Effects represent at least one. ]

[yourvenus]

[There were quite a number of faces Minako didn't recognize around here-- did they all manage to slide in while she was down on Earth giving her followers autographs?-- but that didn't stop her from weaving through the crowd, getting a good look at each new face she encountered. It was good to keep tabs on the potential cute ones, after all.

...unfortunately, that couldn't be chalked up to Aphrodite's meddling in the slightest]

[flowerings]

Are you looking for something?

[pestilencebirther]

[There's a plate in her hand as she peers down, scuffing the toes of her boots on the floor. Followers. Her stomach roils at the thought of it but she mechanically pops another bite of food in her mouth.

Being sick would only draw too much attention to herself and the followers might take it as an omen too.]

[maidenly]

[always one to show concern for others, Zelda approaches the woman. she tilts her head as she comes near... hopefully she's not intruding.]

Hello. Is everything all right?

[a_singlestar]

[ This is Hikaru and Kaoru, the twins hanging out at the entrance way, sizing up the party. Theyre trying to decide whether or not to stay or blow the pop stand, really. ]

[ They were just made Gods and they're already bored, go figure. ]

[ Anyway, these two will be sticking with each other so expect to be replied doubly, or just one at a time. Don't wait, just tag when you get to it, okok ]

[ But look at these two handsome boys. Double the Godhood, Double the Fun~ ]

1/2!

[yourvenus]

[OH

OH BABY

THIS IS LIKE HITTING THE CUTE BOY JACKPOT]

[bluesavant]

[ Uwa, those enchantments were really strange! But she admires the practical uses of an enhanced physical attraction, in such a way that it aids in special and individual survival. It would also be really useful for assassinations, yup, yup.

She thinks she's probably have lots and lots of questions, but she already knows half of it already. Hm, maybe she'll have to take apart her brain to figure out how this omnisciencey thing works.

Right now, though, there is food and her body needs sustenance!

Cue eating like a pig. What are table manners, she can't let such yummy food go to waste, after all! ]

[martelapproves]

[ ... Forgive him for staring. He's never seen anyone eat like that. It was like watching a starving animal. ]
