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! ]

[hyperresonance]

Well, now would be a good time to start.

[wingbacked]

'Course. But the gods around right now just look like people to me.

[hyperresonance]

... that's because they are. I know I'm just a-- [ replica ] person. With some new tricks, but that's all.

[wingbacked]

So I'm not going to expect any more out of them.
