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! ]

[ B||| Could we stop with having the tables turned, Oz really doesn't appreciate this ]

It's going to be nothing but a memory soon. Knowing the things that are to come will be better [ And he's stretching on his chair, for all intents and purposes a kid having too much energy. ] Say Mister, have you seen anything interesting so far?

[wingbacked]

Sure, if you let it be.

Interesting how?

[noisyclockhands]

There's no sense in doing anything else really.

Something that promises to be entertaining. There should be more to this than just sitting around.

[wingbacked]

... Shouldn't be too hard to find something.

[noisyclockhands]

[ Okayyyy, a pause here because this is a bit. awkward but Oz will soldier on..! Totally not unused to this or awkward or anything, nope ]

You should come with me - don't tell me you plan on sitting around here on your own the entire time! That would bore even the biggest scaredy-cat to tears~!

[wingbacked]

Nah, I'd get antsy.

brain, brain, brain, come again another day~

[noisyclockhands]

Then what are you still sitting around there for? You don't want your little brother to stray and end up lost, right? [ Oz will pull him along if he dawdles any more, that is very very obvious. ]

[wingbacked]

[ hff ]

So it's "brothers" after all, huh? In that case, I should be straightforward.

You left your family name out on purpose, right? Oz. I don't really like that.

1/2

[noisyclockhands]

Being that forward can be rather annoying

[noisyclockhands]

[ Dear lord stop cockblocking him will you DD< ]

It's Vessalius [ at least he usually knows when his game his over ] I dislike people calling me by it however.

[wingbacked]

Being indirect can be, too.

Then I'll keep calling you Oz.

[noisyclockhands]

[ HUFFPUFF you are not supposed to figure out that he is indirect in the first place!! ]

There's no need to always state the obvious is there [ f-faltering, Masaki could you make it any harder?? UGH ] Do you want to wait until you grow antsy?

[wingbacked]

You did too.

Nah, we can get going. Got any ideas?

[noisyclockhands]

It's not as if I could do anything else [ not with the way you're acting in any case. This is almost as taxing as trying to argue with Rufus Barma..! Only, you're kind of lacking the heels here]

I guess we can [ but he's already beginning to grin again, excitement bubbling up and showing itself. ] They're having a festival down there with a bonfire. I want to see what it's like!

[wingbacked]

Sounds good. Think we can just jump down?

[noisyclockhands]

There's only one way to find out! [ he's keeping his eyes on you as he makes for the nearest edge, his steps something like skips only with too much hurried energy ] You can move right? You need to say it if you want me to push you~

[wingbacked]

I can move.

[ huffs and shoves another bite of fruit into his mouth before he follows after you ]

... You know, clouds aren't solid.

[noisyclockhands]

[ ...if you pull a Break and eat the bowls and plates Oz will seriously leave. He's had enough of that and the image of Break as a god is frankly way too bad for his brain! ]

That's what I've been taught but I don't think we'll have to care about that now. [ and that is very much the attitude that got Gil into all kinds of trouble in the past. A JUMP and Oz is on the nearest cloud, topping it beautifully. ] Saw one of the girls doing this earlier!

[wingbacked]

Yeah, but I more meant- is the ground here clouds, too?

[ slows, taps his foot on the ground ]

[noisyclockhands]

[ GODS DA--- Masaki, can't you be impressed first and then talk about the silly groundwork??! But okay, better to not let the frustration show constantly {it still rankles}, tricksters have their own pride. ]

Well, it doesn't look like it [ crouching on his cloud and tapping his hand against the last maybe-stone. There's a sound to it and a feel but: ] it's not as if there's a way to tell I think. Not in this place, they could elevate the entire ground as easily as turning clouds to marble.

It could fall down as soon as someone forgets about keeping it aloft. [ and he shouldn't still be grinning at that but, he is. Unconcerned really. ]

[wingbacked]

You sure there's no way to tell?

[ drops. ]

[noisyclockhands]

[ SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING, serioulsy this will not do..! It calls for revenge but right now all Oz can do is sputter {loudly enough for you to hear him probably} and follow suit. You probably have never seen someone flyfall with such an unimpressed look on their face]

Are you always this full of surprises?!

[wingbacked]

Not really. I guess I'm just the type to abuse power.

At least we know those are definitely clouds now.

[ turning in midair to fall head-down, like he's diving ]

Think I see that festival you were talking about.

[noisyclockhands]

That type doesn't normally announce it that freely in books [ or in ph!life, but there is no reason to mention that now right? right. ]

Have you considered that we could have changed ourselves? [ a bit dry today, dear Oz. He's also kind of. sitting in the air with his legs crossed Indian style. What are aero-dynamics? He's still falling really fast. ]

--that's more than one group!

[wingbacked]

Well, if it was a mountain we'd be in a mountain.

[ spreads his arms, gesturing at the open air ]

That just makes it more interesting, right?
