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! ]

Aa. [ a curt agreement. it seems practiced, simply agreeing. ] Not when you can't help it. [ when someone has the power to change what's natural, that's when others should be upset. and as gods, the have that power. so...she won't hold it against the humans, should the followers become mad at her. ]

[ another pause. ] Madotsuki. [ her name. ]

[wingbacked]

Masaki.

[castofthought]

[ she nods...looking from him to the feast before him. after a moment, she speaks. ] So what's your favorite?

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GREEK FOOOOOD

[wingbacked]

[ gestures ]

Probably the cheese there, with the flatbread.

[ pause ]

Though I like curry bread better.

sounds about right??

[castofthought]

[ she was smart enough to make chopsticks by breaking wood. she takes those chopsticks, picking a piece of bread off his plate with them (yes, she's that good) and then takes a bite. chews.


and then nods. ] ....Yeah.

[ curry bread is much better, although she can't remember the last time she had it ]

good enough!

[wingbacked]

Guess our tastebuds haven't changed much.

[castofthought]

We wouldn't be able to tell. [ if their tastebuds changed, how would they know? ]

[wingbacked]

[ shrug ]

Our perspectives, then.

[castofthought]

[ a small nod. ] They change. They're plastic.

[wingbacked]

How so?

[castofthought]

[ she taps her head ] Experience. [ and then she points to him. ] And meeting others.

[wingbacked]

The plastic, I meant.

[ wait don't be rude ]

But that's true.

[castofthought]

[ she's using plastic as an adjective. she blinks. ] It means it can be reshaped. Again.


...And again. [ the mind can, both psychically and mentally. and the world can be reshaped, too. finally, she tags a small smile to the end of her sentence. ]

[wingbacked]

I've never heard it used that way before. You learn something new every day.

[castofthought]

...Huh. [ learning something? ] Plasticity. [ she taps her head again. plasticity is a property of the brain, the mind, and of many other things as well. ]

[wingbacked]

Makes sense. I always just think of plastic like the packaging.

[castofthought]

[ a humble smile. she repeats his words: ] You learn something new every day.
