:[ VDAY ]: Welcome Back Venus! The Afterparty

[Twitchapher the 3rd]

Amatus' rude outburst sadly did not go unnoticed. The goddess of glory narrowed her eyes before moving behind the two young teens. Luckly for her, they seemed preoccupied with grabbing as much food as they could to notice her walk up behind them. Good. With one swift motion the she flipped her spear around and jabbed Amatus in the back of the head with the blunt side. It wouldn't leave of a mark but it was hard enough to teach him a little. "It would be wise not to be little the host of the party, young man." She then motioned to the food in their arms with the pointy end of her spear. "Put that back. That food is for everyone, not just for a couple of greedy pigs."

Erasmus had settled for a bit of mango before slipping away from the table. Have to figure out what this fruit was and whether Gramma' Takeko knew if they could grow some themselves. Back on topic, he stifled a snort at his twin's observation, adding, "There certainly have been quite a few of them through here and the battle. Could they all really be hers?" Having god blood sounded pretty cool. He felt like striking a pose at the thought. Then...a horrible thought crossed his mind. The association...what if this Venus person...was their dad's mum...which meant all these other hotties, including some they'd been eyeballing during the battle...that were also likely her kids...

A horrified look crossed the nymph demi's face, and he turned to his twin in disbelief. "Dude...if he's her son, then some of those hotties...we could have been checking out relat--" He froze mid-sentence at the sight of spear-wielding woman appearing out of nowhere behind his brother. Dammit! He'd been so careful to keep an eye out! Where had she come from? He'd been watching and yet suddenly she's just...there! Was that a thing these gods could do?

Could they do it too?

Thinking quickly, Erasmus put on a charming smile and slipped gracefully around his brother. Shoving aside the disturbing realization he'd been entertaining earlier, he focused all his charm on this new woman...even if she looked and sounded like a complete grumpy gus, he'd give it a shot. "My dear woman...if the food is for everyone, then surely we're still included in 'everyone'? Otherwise, we'd be 'no one', and there's nothing sadder than being told you're 'no one'."

Gingerly stepping around the range of the spear tip to move alongside it, he stepped closer and kept up the winning smile. "We would certainly never call the lovely hostess 'little'. Clearly she's a grand lady. Though, one such as yourself would be well informed on things around here, yes?" He neared, reaching up to place a hand on the spear between them, only closing the distance. "I mean...if a fellow had some questions that needed answering...I'm sure you'd have some answers, right? Perhaps we could just....talk for a bit? Maybe not out here in the middle of the dance floor? Unless that's what you'd prefer?"

Back it down, Erasmus...she might be an aunt or...something. Ew. Not to mention clearly a grumpy stick in the mud. Despite his line of thought erring otherwise, he kept a grin on his face, raising an eyebrow questioningly.

Yukiko smiled a little as they finally made it to the temple. She'd been so excited to come last year, but for obvious reasons hadn't made it. This year they almost missed it, but here she was, with her darling Anteros, and she was sure her son was here somewhere, too. Catching sight of the very pink goddess, Yukiko was pleased to know that she was back. The kiss from Anteros made her blush, but she returned it with a smile and nodded. "Of course," she murmured and watched him fly off. She felt so bad about his wings, and wished she could have healed them. With a soft sigh, she made her way to the refreshment tables, suddenly very thirsty.

He flushed a little bit more. "Ah...it makes me a demi-god," he said. He didn't want it to seem like he was bragging or anything, it was just what he was. He was still mostly normal...he just had a few other responsibilities that most pae didn't have. Then she asked to meet his parents and he looked around a little, scanning the room. "Well, they were supposed to be here, but they both seem to be missing this year..." he trailed off a little as the doors opened for new arrivals. "Oh! There they are!" he said and smiled, pointing toward the door. He would love for them to meet Ruby! The state of his father's wings worried him, but he wanted to check on them. Introducing them to Ruby at the same time, of course.

A sudden p***k, and he had a moment to wonder if it was a bug or if perhaps one of his aunts or uncles had shot him with one of their arrows before all he really wanted to do was be alone with Ruby. "Although...perhaps we could meet them later," he said a little huskily. "Ruby...what would you say to...finding somewhere a little more private?"

Ruzeh smiled again at his response and slid her arm around his shoulders, hugging him close. She had never expected to fall for anyone so hard, but she was glad she had. In the course of just a little time, her life had gone from being just her and her grumpy cat to having a house full of life. She just couldn't possibly express how happy she was with words alone.

Glancing around, she found their kids again and was pleased to see that it looked like they'd made a new friend. How wonderful~! She hadn't realized just how worried she'd been about her son until just then when it felt like a weight was lifted from her chest.

Ruri rolled his eyes at what he felt was a childish remark from the teen. He was already tuning back into seducing the gorgeous pae in front of him when his ears caught Illyria's thrown words. He scoffed and threw back over his own shoulder, so similar to hers, "Yeah, well, me too. If you were my kid, I'd've taught you how to to respect your elders." He smirked, pleased with his comeback even though he wouldn't know how to raise a kid if a book on it hit him in the face. His ears twitched and his eyes narrowed as another teen came up to what he could only assume was her sister. Great, so there were two of them. He really hoped that there was another Rak with his colors and patterns running around out there somewhere. Not that he was that lucky.

She nodded at Cascade. "Yeah, exactly! Our brothers know who their dad is, sort of, but Illyria and I don't know anything about ours. Y'know, unless that guy she's talking to is him. Which, really, what would be the odds of that?" She laughed, but the odds were looking pretty good that he was. Saoirse snorted a bit as she caught her sister's first comment to the adult who looked like her, and was quite proud of her for walking away. Until she didn't. "Whoops. 'Scuse me, I have to go save this poor idiot from my sister." She half shoved the plate of chocolates at Cascade before making her way to Illyria. Sliding an arm around her sister's waist, she started to pull her away from the couple when the idiot said something else. She froze, all except her tail that thrashed in agitation. She turned back to him and scowled. "We know how to respect those who deserve it. Respect has to be earned. Besides that, seems to me you're more of a child than we are." She smirked and put one hand on her hip while her other arm kept Illyria close. "And anyway, if you don't want kids, maybe you should learn how to keep it in your pants." Honestly, she felt sorry for the guy he was dancing with.

Arc nodded as his sister said they should give the guy a chance. He was grateful when she introduced both of them. The poor shy teen wasn't sure he could give his name without stuttering all over it and making it unrecognizable. He bit his lip a bit when Zaba gave them his own versions of their nicknames, which was okay he supposed. He could get used to Arcen as a nickname. It still started with Arc, after all. He smiled a little. Maybe making friends wasn't as bad as he'd thought before.

Noir leaned against Ruzeh as they danced. Hugging her back, he had all ways thought that he would end up being alone forever because of how shy he was and yet some how he had managed to find someone he loved so very much and ended up with a full house.

Seeing her twist her head around as if she was looking for something he let out a confused "hmm?" Followed by a "is something wrong?" He could not see the children and their new friend from where he was at the moment.

Lazuryt nudged her brother happily as he seemed to take the next nicknames well. "Lazi is fine!" She motioned for the other to sit down with them as she grabbed a new snack of the plate. "Would you like one Zaba? The food here is delicious!" She nibbled on the eclair she had grabbed as she watched the boys.

Amatus nodded furiously at his brother. See! He was getting it! “See what I am saying! How'd she pump all those suckers out!?” he paused for a second realizing that perhaps the loop hole was her god blood. “Oh I'm stupid. She's a goddess she probably has the power to just make 'em into being.” he shrugged it all off deciding it wasn't worth his brain power.

That was till his brother began to point out the obvious. His mind caught up and he choked on the bit of fruit he had popped into his mouth. Oh gods- then a sharp pain nailed him in the back of his head and the piece of fruit flew across the buffet table and landed somewhere... Someone was gonna get a nice surprise with that one.

He yelped and whirled around to meet his attacker head on. Were the snacks back!? Who dare attack while he was eating!? He was rested up and ready to get back at it if they dared! Instead, he was met with just another Pae. Ah, well why in the heck did they wanna fight!? Oh- it was just some older woman here to lecture him? What did she think? She was his mom or something? He huffed to himself. This was gonna make a lame party if he had to deal with her...

He blinked at his brother's actions trying to not throw up in his mouth. For all they knew this could be their aunt or something. Then again, he could see what he was doing. Yes, they had plenty of questions that she could answer! He was itching to know and he'd be willing to play the part in getting them. While his brother was invading her space in the front, he slipped in behind her, careful to not touch her just yet. She was obviously a physical being and he didn't need to give her another reason to smack him. It still hurt!

“Of course that's not what she would prefer, dear brother.” his voice was soft near her ear, stirring the hair around it. “Why would she choose out in the open when this lovely being could be alone with us? Hmmm...?” he pulled back and came to her side trying to keep himself moving so she couldn't get in another hit. “So? Are you available for a little chat with us?” he gave her a smile to match his brothers.

Something about dancing was just so...satisfying at the moment. Like an itch that desperately needed to be scratched. They galloped around the dance floor, Harmonia dancing perfectly with his movements as if they had rehearsed a million times before that night.

Then the song ended, slipping into a slow romantic tune. He spun her back into his arms, letting his hands glide down her sides to rest on her hips. What had he been doing before he needed to dance so badly? What was it... He looked down upon her gentle face, watching the perfect curvature of her eyes, cheeks, those soft lips... Kissing! How could he of all fae forget that? As they swayed to the music, he smiled rather embarrassedly at his forgetfulness. "Sorry. I suddenly really needed to dance...Let me make that up to you." Earlier she had leaned in to join his kiss, so without any hesitation -in case another random mood swing took place- he pulled her body against his while pressing their lips together.

Of course they were still dancing. Perhaps potentially running into pae as his eyes were shut. But he had far more important thoughts, like if Harmonia's tongue was as quick as her feet.

OOC: Had gotten the okay beforehand to do kissy kissy!  

[Teigra]

Her attention had been elsewhere, partially in an attempt to keep herself distracted from these strange 'empty' feelings inside until she could fill them with food. Nyra's eyes had been focused elsewhere as she reached for more tasty meat morsels to eat, paying no mind to who was near her until she turned back around. Her eyes widened and her feathers bristled momentarily in surprise.

Oh that wouldn't do...letting someone so clearly out of her league see her flustered so. She hurriedly tried to smooth her fluffed feathers back down as discretely as possible. Even if she felt the other far beyond her reach, she still had her pride. If only she could see the other in action...to admire her hunting and fighting prowess, to see the wind ripple through her feathers...

The strange thoughts swirled, confusing the poor harpy with emotions she couldn't possibly process. She didn't like being confused. It tended to make her angry. For now though, she took out her irritation (at herself and these strange feelings) on the plentiful food spread before them.

Her sharp hearing picked up something that tore her attention away from the other harpy for a moment. She looked over, puzzled, to note her adopted sister's boys nearby with one of those goddess things with a spear aimed at them. Her feathers bristled again, for a different reason this time. Those were her boys as far as she was concerned. Why have food not for eat? she puzzled to herself, irritated. Didn't seem to be a good reason to threaten her boys either.

She hesitated, watching one of them dance around the side of the spear, the other circling the other way. Good boys. Good hunters. Circle prey. Her attention flickered back to the green and black warrior behind her at the table, then back to the boys. It'd only take one hostile move to push her wavering attention in that direction.

They were teenagers alright. Exhausting. He repressed a sigh at Cazir's and Zakira's carefree attitude, both exasperated and a little jealous at their 'Im invincible' mentality. At least she was agreeing to eat, and she certainly did look in better health. Perhaps he'd leave them be, with just keeping an eye on them for the rest of the night. As a father, he knew he'd want the same for some pae to do for his daughter. "Alright, I won't turn you kids in and ruin your night. But any dizziness or fainting and I'll personally escort you guys home." Little bit of sweet, little bit of laying down the law. After five kids, he had the parenting act down.

Speaking of sweet however, the little blue sprite looked downright miserable. Come to think of it, he had been doing an awful lot of apologizing. It couldn't have had anything to do with him...right?

There was an unmistakable guilty air about him though, he could sense it. Like a kid being caught with their hand in the sweets jar. "You've been awfully quiet there young man. Is there anything you'd like to share?" He didn't seem like a bad kid, so hopefully a gentle prodding would be enough.

It was admittedly rather difficult to follow her speech, as he had to disregard the repeating words and the unnecessary 'eys' tagged on. But he got the jest of her sugary sweet vocabulary, and her energy was rather...contagious. So he let her once again drag her towards two purperly looking males. Which one was Lisandru again? Why was he sick? Not that he'd exactly be too open to hug a random male. A random cute female like Prisma, sure, but a strange male?

"I rather like games..." He trailed off right as something hit him square on the head. Like a slap. "Ow! What was that?!" His head jerked around for the source, but ended up falling on a rather...yellow fauny. What was with his attraction for fauns that evening? "Hide...and and go seek sounds fun but...but who is she?" Well, aside from being the most magnificent looking pae he'd ever seen his his life! Her pose, so awe inspiring. So heroic! He pulled away from Prisma's grip to start stumbling towards the fauny. "Please notice me, you beautiful pae."

When Dameon looked away, perhaps specifically to Wellspring, Cazir mouthed overdramatically and shook his finger scoldingly at his younger twin sister. The young girl giggled, tail waving behind her, but quickly stifled it before the adult noticed what she was laughing at.

Silly adult demon was worrying too much! Were all demons like this? Uncle Texas could be a pretty big worrier too, Zakira knew that much. He was the only other demon she was really familiar with, though. It was a rather small sample pool to base all the demons on, she supposed.

She would have thought more about it, perhaps even asked her brother Cazir for his opinion, if it wasn't for the further comments from Dameon. Quiet? Zakira glanced over to Wellspring, noting that he was doing the shy thing again, not quite looking at them and keeping his hands behind his back. Or hand and claw. How did a pae end up with a claw? Was that a normal thing for pae like them, or was it rare? Or was it some kind of mutation?

While Zakira pondered this, Cazir, after he passed Zakira a plate of foods from the nearby buffet table, looked from Dameon to Wellspring, back to Dameon, back to Wellspring. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, though he tried not to look threatening. The last thing he wanted to do is upset the other teen. That wasn't very fun. This was a party. The fainting spell was already enough unfun. "Something up?"

Yaaaaaa....No.

It was all too obvious who THESE two belong too. She couldn't be 100% sure but she was 99.9% sure all the same. The boys antics were not amusing the Spartan Goddess. At all. She was less that amused, though she kept a neutral expression before she started to speak again. "You two have three options. One, I try out my neutering skills on you both which I have not practice. Two, I get my brother...Ohhh...Pothos would be a good choice here, to follow you around for the next year to make you two long for every other you see." There was an unwritten rule about not shooting the teens with their arrows. She wasn't even too sure the arrows would work on them. Though it didn't matter, they didn't know that. "Three." She pointed her spear to a few empty chairs along the wall. "You both sit down and we have a nice chat like adults."

She paused for a second before looking around the room. There was one test she could do after all. "I can at least answer one of your questions with a question of my own....I'd back up if I were you both either way." She said drawing out her bow and a two arrows. She pulled back her bow and let the two arrows fly. One went down a hall, the other hit one of the two males that was in the centre of a scene with their sisters. She slung the bow back over her shoulder and looked at the two teens before her. "What did you see?"

He was sure he was going to regret being so mean to his mother. She had the ability to make his life a living hell if she'd wanted to. Surely he would not be a happy pae. "Please, let it be. She's right." He smiled, trying to soothe it over. His hero should never have to be offended on his behalf. But Guardians! She was offended for him! His heart couldn't have swollen any more in sheer awe of the female.

"Lets... Lets go over here?" He suggested, hoping the lovely Aderyn would be willing. The fact that she was gracing him with her presence was amazing in the first place. He just wanted to melt into a puddle! with how happy this made him.

And then he caught sight of his mother and that weird angel dancing. "What the..." Caine squinted, not sure he was seeing this right. Oh he was alright. That was his mom, dancing terribly... "Good night that's almost as embarrassing as me being rude to her..."

She squeaked, turning her whole body to face him rather than just her head. "Bu-" And he kept on going. Abby blushed a bit, finally looking down when Aiolos had finished. "I'm sure we'll be able to find him after this if he's too busy tonight. Just look how much fun everyone is having~" She smiled, waving her good arm to show him the party.

"Besides th-" She paused, starting to move out of the way of an oncoming arrow but turned out to be too slow. Her body was still stiff in healing. And all of a sudden, with a thump and a tingle, Aiolos was looking like the manly stud she'd always thought him to be. Sapphire eyes narrowed from innocent mother to what she hoped was 'the look.'

"Aiolos... We can always... Wait~" Her eyes flicked downwards, moving slowly back up, admiring his body the way he'd done hers so many times. "I think there's a couple of empty rooms somewhere?"

Sweetie did her best not to laugh. She knew how hard this must be for him. That didn't mean she wouldn't always look back at this night of him being a woman and think fondly of it.

"Behind a pillar sounds like a good idea." The fauny grabbed Dysmas' hand and started heading towards the indicated pillar. "Don't be jumpy, it keeps things from bouncing everywhere." Sweetie smiled, offering her mate a friendly bit of advice. If his initial reaction to growing a chest had been anything to go by, he was in for an interesting night.

Blizz was too busy playing with his fruit dolls that he did not notice the young lady approach him. He seemed to be getting ready for one last epic fruit battle when a voice behind him spoke up, scaring him. He let out a yelp as his hands came together, slamming the two fruit dolls together and causing smooshed fruit to fly in different directions. He spun around to see...A teen? What was she doing? "Errr nothing." Nothing indeed. "Why don't you go find some kids your own age to talk to? There's a bunch of them here after all." Seemed odd to him a teen would want to speak to him...He was suddenly hit with a wave of feeling very old which caused him to frown.

Oh no she was gonna hug him s**t s**t s**t--

Oh good. She remembered.

Lisandru let out a long sigh of relief, giving a sideways glance at Alister as he quirked a brow at him to ask what 'no blankies' had to do with hugs. He likely would have hissed something for Alister to shut his mouth if it wasn't for the fact that Prisma's quickly shifting attentions noticed him and went to hug him instead.

Thankfully, "No, I'm not poisonous." Alister shook his head, lifting a hand to say it was alright, even if he probably didn't realize what he was inviting with that particular gesture. "I'm Lisandru's older twin brother, Alister. It's a pleasure to meet you, Prisma." He would make a smooth, easy first impression, even if Prisma seemed to be more inclined to ... craziness when it came to her own first impressions.

Prisma wanted to play a game? What kind of -- oh, hide-and-seek? Man, where did Lisandru find this woman? Alister turned to Lisandru once again, quirking a confused brow. That was, until Flynn distracted with a loud ow and then got distracted with some other woman.

... Well, that was lame. He was kinda nice on the eyes...

"More fun for us, then?" offered Alister, optimistically, turning his attention towards the Obnoxious Prisma. Hide-and-seek was kinda silly, but it could work. It'd keep him away from the dancing weirdos that were his mother and her assistant, at least.

Lisandru had to agree with that. "Right. We hide, you seek?"
