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! ]

You're doing good. [ that's what gods do, right? mess around, watch others suffer. ]

[donotpursue]

Hah! What I do is irrelevant. I never needed the help of a god, and any man worth being noticed in the first place is just the same.

[castofthought]

[ pfft. this guy's a ham. ] Go on.

[donotpursue]

Gladly...! But surely, you've heard of me - my name makes the ground itself tremble in fear, and my might is unparalleled!

[castofthought]

[ how can she not know his name? no doubt he's been shouting it at others this entire time....that doesn't mean she's been paying much attention. she tends to stay in her own little world. ] Say your name again. I'm sure it'll make the ground tremble. [ as for her? not really. ]

[donotpursue]

... Are you mocking me!?

[castofthought]

[ she blinks, looking up at him. there's some surprise there, but at any length, she looks away. is pride really that fragile? maybe it's good that she has none. do her words really matter to him? seems like it. which is all too strange to her. such a thing would imply-- ] You're offended.

[donotpursue]

Hah! Don't think so little of Lu Bu! I simply want to know who, among those here, is as foolish as to think they can do such a thing in the first place!

[castofthought]

[ she raises a hand. ] I'm such a fool. Forgive me.

[ which is a jest. she didn't think she could offend him- hence her surprise just a few moments earlier. perhaps he may take it as a sorry attempt at light humor. ]
