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! ]

[...yeah, he doesn't really care too much about that, even if it's not his place to try to change it and it'd be wrong to do so]

Hey, I'm not some teacher, alright? I don't care what else they do, but if they're gonna fight in my name, I'd rather they have their nuts guarded so they could have an easier time of it.

Do what you want. They'd follow you to death.

[holyshit]

It's not like I'm asking them to go jump into a canyon or something like that! It's for their own good. And my own good. Mostly mine, though.

What about you? I'm sure there's something you'd want to help your people with, right?

[ she looks away for a moment. her followers are...hard to describe. thinkers, she supposes. ] They'll do what they want.

[ perhaps it's a laissez faire method she's adopting. it's be best way for them to learn, to put them in the field, to let them figure things out on their own with little guidance on her part....bettering than dictating them to do what she wants. it's not optimism. ]

[holyshit]

...you mean just ignore them, then?

[castofthought]

[ that's...not quite it. she wouldn't ignore them. she wouldn't be like those that ignored her- or at least she'd try. ] They're stronger than me.

[ meaning, they're less helpless. ]

[unfortunately, he's still no good with reading in between the lines, so he's just...gonna frown at that]

But you're a god. How're they stronger?

[castofthought]

[ a goddess that was once very human ] They're strong. If they had to depend on me...that just be sad.

And if they aren't ready to be on their own...only then I'll guide them enough so that they can be.
