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! ]

[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. ]

[maidenly]

Oh, hello!

[Zelda smiles back, glad to have someone to talk to.]

We should probably take care of introductions before anything—my name is Zelda. What's yours?

[martelapproves]

Mithos.

[ He's beaming. Maybe he won't be surrounded by too many human-looking people after all. Yes, he's that racist. ]

[maidenly]

[come on, Mithos! haven't you had enough bitterness over the years?!]

Well, in that case, it's very nice to meet you, Mithos.

[martelapproves]

[ NOPE. Remember, he ordered the genocide of humans. ]

You too! What's your name?

[maidenly]

[...well, that was mostly a rhetorical question. BUT STILL, GEEZ. 8(]

I'm Zelda. How are you taking to all this?

[martelapproves]

[ He was actually unsure how to handle that... so he'll just be honest. ]

I like ruling over monsters. I hate humans, so... this works for me.

[maidenly]

[wait a minute.]

...You hate humans?

[yeah, that wasn't the answer she was expecting.]

[martelapproves]

Well, why not? They killed my sister and were unrepentant for over four thousand years.

[noisyclockhands]

[ WHAT IS QUIETNESS AND CAN YOU EAT IT

No, really, the boy jumping out of-- somewhere [??!] is radiating so much energy and fun that it can almost be considered noise. Stopppping when he sees you however and doing a seemingly delighted double-take. ]

Hello, Miss! You've got a lovely smile right there!

[maidenly]

Oh, you think so?

[she laughs good-naturedly. how could she turn down a compliment, after all?]

Thank you very much.

[noisyclockhands]

I'm absolutely sure of this! It's not as if I could lie to such a lovely girl after all~

[ Not all of course! Oz is quite persistently cheerful after all. ]

It's the best company to be in.

[maidenly]

You flatter me.

There's no need to call me "Miss," though; just Zelda is fine.

[noisyclockhands]

Ah~! You can never flatter a beautiful girl enough [ cleaaaarly channeling his uncle here. Someone ought to tell Oz that flirting like a someone who's crashed past his forties is not always...such a good idea.

Anyway, he seems terribly pleased {almost awkward} at her words]

That would be really - I couldn't possibly [turtle ahoi, come on Oz get your personality back here ] I'll be sure to keep it in mind!

[maidenly]

You're certainly a charmer. [she really can't help but laugh. it's completely benign, though!]

Well, now that I've introduced myself, could I ask for your name, too?

1/2

[noisyclockhands]

[ O-oooopppps! Hand to the back of his head, looking both sheepish and a bit foolish. A good thing that no power in the world can make his hair any more of a mess. ]

Ahahaha, it's Oz [ benign laughters can be accepted! ] It appears that I got distracted by more interesting things~

[noisyclockhands]

There are so many things to explore

[maidenly]

Around here, you mean? Or in general? If I remember right, we're able to go wherever we want now.

[yourvenus]

[Oh! It's the girl she talked to during the introduction speech! She beams happily at Zelda, nearly bouncing on her way over to see her]

Zelda-saaaaan! Isn't this exciting?

[maidenly]

Oh—Minako! [she grins back!] It really is! I hadn't realized there'd be so many of us.

[yourvenus]

I know, right? Turn your back for one eeeeensy-weensy autograph session, and it's like they're crawling out of the metalware!

[maidenly]

Oh? You've already been down to visit your followers?

[yourvenus]

Mm hm! I couldn't resist! I wanted to see it firsthand myself.

How about you, Zelda-san?

[maidenly]

Not yet. I'll probably go soon, though—I've been pretty curious myself, after all.
