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! ]

This will be a proper adventure! [ laughing here, high and happy and so very, very pleased. If there's a not of - awkwardness? it can be ignored. Oz is simply not used to this. ]

We just need to find a way down there--

[maidenly]

Well, there are two ways that I'm aware of...

Do you want the simple way, or the entertaining one?

[noisyclockhands]

The entertaining way of course! What kind of person would chose the other option? Really, people forgot how to have fun all-too easily.

[maidenly]

Good answer! I definitely think so, too.

Well, shall we?

[noisyclockhands]

There's no use wasting time when we could be using it better [ what do you mean, he's acting like a hyper kid :| He's not running a few steps ahead or anything, nopppe! ]

And where do we need to go to begin our journey?

[maidenly]

Right... here should be fine.

[she leads him to the edge of a cloud, staring down into the vast expanse below. it may seem a little ominous, but she's... grinning at him expectantly.

oh boy.]

[noisyclockhands]

Are you saying we'll just--

[ but there is really only one way down from here and, yes, Oz seems to be all for the idea. The grin on his face looks almost painful ]

On the count of three?

[maidenly]

I like your enthusiasm! Three it is!

One... two...

[noisyclockhands]

It's all thanks to my lovely companion of course~

--three! [ and if he jumps a bit early? then it's because he's a bit of a cheat but also a kid at heart {only sometimes but}, impatient to get going. ]

I wonder how long this will take [ not as long as he would like, it's a good thing he can do it again, later ] do you have any idea where we'll land?

[maidenly]

[she follows suit immediately after! she's a bit surprised, she has to admit, when he jumps before her... but it doesn't bother her. she's definitely okay with eagerness.]

Not exactly, but that's half the fun, isn't it? We're supposed to be exploring, after all!

[noisyclockhands]

That's right, we can't be afraid of anything!

[ And he's laughing again, shoulders that after smaller than he'd like shaking ]

Talking while falling from the sky is a great way to begin already

[maidenly]

It's the small things like this that you really appreciate when you become a deity, I guess.

Sorry, sorry!! Didn't mean to be super late!

[noisyclockhands]

I like the freedom of it all! We don't even have to worry about time this way.

[ and - close to landing? The place seems a bit quieter, there shouldn't be any heads they might accidentally stop on.
