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! ]

[ he totally does need to answer any and all questions because people might mistake him for mute otherwise :| especially when sitting next to Tsubasa who can go on and on without having to breathe {and being a god does make things even easier, well ooops} and will not stop even when chucking grapes.

Also, chances are good that some of them were quite sticky- Tsubasa really is a charmer, right? ]

Let's try that. Half of them will be content to just sit around until they rot but we're going to stir them up a bit [ grinning because, hey this sounds like a surefire way to be entertained. ] I wonder if they'll be running around like chicken at first, they look absolutely overwhelmed with the changes and the entire place- it's a joke. If there's a reason as to why they've been turned into gods then it's only to watch them crash and burn because they're too braindead to do anything else. Let's hope that some of them will be interesting at least.

[ eating one of the grapes now and just. looking back at you ]

[wingbacked]

[ yes but Tsubasa knows the answer, so confirming it would be redundant. and denying it would be silly and just further encourage Tsubasa's mouth. ]

Underestimating people isn't like you. Soccer's one thing, but there's no telling yet if they won't be decent at being gods.

[goodforflying]

[ An agitated sigh at this ] You think?

I can't make out why they were picked at all. There should be a pattern to it but if there is it's vague as heck. [ and Masaki is probably one of the only people who can make Tsubasa stop, go back and explain. Change his tactic even in the middle of the game. That's why it's always an 'us' as far as Tsubasa is concerned, why it's easy for him to see Masaki here. That's another thing that doesn't have to be said however ] I don't like the thought that the gods woke up one day and decided that it was a good time to hand out the power to conquer the world at random. It's annoying enough to remember that they could do it like this at all.

I want to know what they're made of! [ Vehemence at that, in this place where he cannot simply steal his aunt's folder and get the information he wants to have. But maybe things are getting a bit clearer ] All this sitting around and being pleasant doesn't help with that.

[wingbacked]

Maybe the gods just couldn't agree on what kind of people were needed. Or they could have done it like Akira, going for variety.

[ ... and in a voice meant not to reach anyone else's ears ]

That redhead, and Kaname with the pink hair. They're both unsteady about the change and I don't know how well they'll adapt to power, but they're both keyed into the people; they'll care and pay attention to anything that comes up down there more than most of the rest of us, especially you. Tomo knows way too much to be normal, and just because the blond lady you've been mouthing off to isn't very assertive doesn't mean she doesn't have a better head on her shoulders than most of the room combined. June's hard to read, which at least means she's smart, and I don't know about the rest of them yet, but it's obvious everyone has different strengths. I'm surprised the squirt didn't get here.

[goodforflying]

Seems pretty likely that they couldn't come to an agreement in the next few millennia. Those gods look more like bickering couples than anything else. [ Trust Tsubasa to talk in a way that sounds as if he expects the gods to hit each other with brooms in their free time. or throw dishes at each other. yep ]

That would end with too many people from the same place of origin, so it's not a surprise.

It's obvious that they're afraid of what we could get up to if we have people around us whom we know how to work with - they can't stand the thought that we could cause a rebellion in this posh place of theirs just like that. [ and that's so unfalteringly arrogant, so big-headed and confident that it's almost ludicrous. But things like this, the separation of friends and family, they have happened for those very same reasons before, will happen because of them again. If it's the same here as everywhere else, that's someone one can only wonder about ] Everyone here is wildly different then - which just shows that there's no way that we were all chosen by the same person. [ and there is a snake-tail attached to this, the thing Tsubasa has been wondering about ]

[wingbacked]

I guess. Like I said, they could just be thinking about it the way Akira does- if they were that worried about a rebellion they probably wouldn't have picked you at all, let alone me too.

Anyway, if everyone was the same, we'd all have to be gods of the same few things, and that'd be pointless.

[goodforflying]

Not if they know what's good for them. It's too late for second thoughts now anyway or will you let them order you around? [ to think that limitless confidence has nothing to do with his omnipotence...] I'd like to see them try just to see the stupefied expressions on their face when they realise that they stand no chance.

Boring. And unlikely, they'd have to agree on a single attribute of one of them but they can't which is why we're probably here in the first place. [ if that's really the reason then Tsubasa truly has a mind to make them regret trying to move him around like a game piece ] What did they make you the god of anyway?

[wingbacked]

Defiance.

[ and that should answer your other question too, really. ]

[goodforflying]

[and that shouldn't make Tsubasa laugh, really, but it does, of course. ]

They totally didn't do themselves a favour when the picked you for this place. [ Not that Tsubasa is any better but this goes without saying and is pretty much common sense. ] The old geezers gave me strive and speed [ as well as self-reliance but the giving part sounds a bit odd when coming from Tsubasa. It's not as if he takes things without making something of them himself and that's never been a secret ]

The combination is still the best. They won't know what hit him in the end, just like it's usually is.

[wingbacked]

[ shrug ]

Maybe they thought I'd be easier to handle than someone loud and stupid about it.

Just try not to make too many enemies too fast.

[ ... maybe too late for that but oh well... ]

[goodforflying]

Hmpf, they have enough of that type too. Being a god better comes with superhuman patience or else they'll wish that they'd have used to energy to invent football. They should be wishing for that as it is, the place here is enough to have everyone fall asleep before they can blink.

[ how have people even survived during these times? Logically, Tsubasa gets it but he certainly has no understanding for it. And hey, for some reason his legs seems a bit restless. ]

Stop fretting Masaki. I'm not going to for anything that I won't be able to handle[ because he's never done that before or anything ] and it's not as if death is an option here at all. Not in the way we're used that is, just like every other rule has just been thrown over. [ Eyeing you and especially in your toga here. ]

[wingbacked]

Wonder if we could invent football ourselves.

[ genuinely the most important thing that could be taken from all of that ]

[goodforflying]

Of course we can. It's not even that early, there is ancient Greek pottery that shows people playing football so we're at the right place [ And, hey, okay Tsubasa has just decided that 3000 years aren't all that much time but who is surprised. ] Even if it would be, that's no reason to hold us back is it? I'm certainly not interested in sitting around until we rot so that some kind of lucky idiot can fall over his own feet and invent it finally.

[ and the motions of his legs beneath the table? Stop for a moment before his right leg kicks once, very decisive and yes, there is a football slipping out beneath the bench and crashing against a pillar, Tsubasa taking off after it with ease. ]

Our goal is world domination, don't forget that!

[wingbacked]

[ laughs, huffy and quick but open and genuine, and vaults himself over the table to chase after it ]
