the very first.

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! ]

[It's hard to tell with Valdís even on a good day how she'll react to many things and real live people? That was a while ago now.]

Why not?

[Genuine curiousity compels her to ask, her head tipped to the side slightly, brows pulled together.]

[maidenly]

Because even if you're alone in person, you'll never be alone in spirit.

[pestilencebirther]

You must have friends to say that.

[She can remember that gaping emptiness when her parents disappeared, even surrounded by so many other people. It's never gone away, even with all she's done.]

[maidenly]

...You can't say the same?

[pestilencebirther]

My parents [she hesitates but they're dead in all the ways that count now she supposes] they died. The crew too. I'm alone.

[She killed her crew and another one, she thought she was en route to kill a third crew before this.]

[maidenly]

Oh... oh my goodness. I didn't realize... I'm so sorry.

[pestilencebirther]

Why are you sorry? It wasn't your fault.

[She's never understood that, even before the Rift - why people said things like that to her or spoke of their own grief or loss. It never made sense.]
