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! ]

No. Don't know why I should bother in the first place. It's not as if any of those morons are great mysteries [ unless you're Shou, then you're just frightening ], they're just slow.

What, you're one of those bleeding hearts who cares about everyone they meet?

[maidenly]

Well, I can't lie and say that I don't assume the best from everyone, but right now I'm starting to think otherwise.

[she's giving him a sort of stern look. if he's good at reading that sort of thing, though, he might be able to tell that she's just playing around.]

[goodforflying]

Thought you'd never catch up. What made you change your mind- did you have en encounter with that giant freak Lu Bu? [ Grinning is not optional at this point but tater mandatory ] Endless optimism can get really tiresome you know? Unless you've got the strength to back it up.

What is a girl like you the patron of anyway?

[maidenly]

It's your attitude, actually.

[oh wow, congrats for actually getting her in a fussy mood, Tsubasa.]

And what do you mean, "girl like you"?

[goodforflying]

There's something about it that upsets you? Maybe you just haven't the nerves to deal with people who won't bow to your understanding of what's right and what isn't? It must be difficult not to be able to nag people until they give in all of a sudden?

[ and he isn't even trying to be mean here. Tsubasa is just. not capable of phrasing things nicely. ]

I mean what I said of course. I'm not one of those morons who can't spit out the honest truth if their life depends on it, running home with their tails tucked between their legs like scared puppies. That would suck so much. [ and he's. laughing. errrrm ]

[come on, Zelda, keep it together! she has the patience of a goddess (ha ha), but even her limits are being tested right now.]

Are you being hard to deal with on purpose, or are you just naturally like this?

[goodforflying]

[ it's okay Zelda, this has nothing to do with being a god, surviving Tsubasa is not even something honest-to-goodness saints can do. Ask Masaki, you either decide to be amused by it all or have to be beautifully oblivious. ]

I'm not trying to rile you up or something. [ he sounds both a bit confused and bored at this ] It's too bad if you can't deal with the way things are but it's not my fault you know? Haven't they taught you that in Sunday school or whatever - that blaming others for your shortcomings is a pretty mean thing to do?

Seems that it's about time you got yourself a thicker hide huh.

[maidenly]

I'm not getting riled up. I'm just saying that I'm being very tolerant—I don't know if you'd be able to get away with speaking like this to someone else.

[goodforflying]

So what, you expect a price for that or for me to be eternally grateful? It's not as if you can tell me that this is the worst thing that has ever happened to you. Unless you've lived your life in a cave until now or something. The boredom should have killed you however.

[ but he's laughing. ] You take this way too personally you know.
