001 ♥ Wake up in the Morning ♥ Day ♥ Video

[cyprian_swan]

[The video clicks on. One can see a sunsplashed bed, the stained glass making patterns over the rumpled sheets. A very beautiful woman is smiling at the screen, bare shoulders caressed by blonde waves and the sheet drawn up oh so modestly. Housemates feel free to note a very divine/otherworldly presence on the third floor of house eight.]Oh, good

[Dean's video comes on showing him in a leather mask, with a black t-shirt over jeans. He looks well trimmed. His hair is still a little wet from coming out of the shower and there are lines where the droplets seemed to have slid down his face. His expression is one of irate sarcasm. He's get a little tired having to explain all of this over and over again. It hasn't hit him that she's the goddess of love yet, and it's probably better that way. He has a bias toward deities.]

I guess it's called the City of Dreams.

No one really knows why they're here, or how to get back. You're supposed to wear a mask during the day and something takes your voice at night.

People are thinking it's kidnapping... others somethin' else. We've screwed the pooch on this one.

[cyprian_swan]

[At least she is asking in a nice manner?]

Oh! So that's why I had a mask next to my bed! [She holds up her mask]

I did wonder~ Though now I wonder why the mask in the day and what will happen if I don't wear it?

[possemagnet]

[Dean looks completely unaffected by it, even has he says it. He raises a hand and then lets it drop.]

Publicized torture.

[cyprian_swan]

[Narrowed eyes]

Appalling.

[Harry is going to look at his PORTAL, staring at Dite's face, then playing the message back again. Radiant, inhuman beauty? Check. Plainly egotistical? Check. Demanding things to be catered to her out the door? Check. His body already starting to tingle a little bit? Check.

Yup, Aphrodite. Aphrodite, Goddess of Love was in Promenade.

While Harry doesn't have any...*ahem*...hands on experiences with sex and love goddesses, he knows enough about the world and about the ancient deities to know that his best way of handling this was to go back to bed and avoid the ever loving hell out of her.

So that's what he's going to do, because he hasn't had breakfast or coffee yet and its too damn early for this.]

[cyprian_swan]

[It is never to early for Aphrodite.]

[gumshoewizard]

[That sounds like the jingle for a perfume brand.]

[cyprian_swan]

[Who knows? It might have been~]

[2escapeblood]

[Blade's first reaction is just to gaze for a moment. Then when he starts talking, he's pouring on the charm.]

Well it's a pleasure to meet you. This place is called Promenade. I've heard that it's some sort of dream city but we are unable to get out. You should have gotten a mask and a mirror. The mask is for wearing outside as per the laws of this place and the mirror shows your life in your original world.

I am Blade Toyaka by the way.

[cyprian_swan]

A pleasure to meet you as well, Blade Toyaka. And thank you for your answer~

[she tilts her head while thinking]

A dream city? I think I shall enjoy myself here, then, regardless of those pesky little rules.

[2escapeblood]

You're welcome.

Well the town enforces it's rules rather harshly. So the laws may be annoying but it's better to follow them.

[cyprian_swan]

How harshly?

[What a beautiful lady! Jarlaxle removes his hat, bows to her, and gives her an incredibly charming smile. Remarkably, he leaves the hat off when he straightens.]

Greetings, my lady. I am Jarlaxle. You are in a city called Promenade - some say it is a city of dreams. Our hosts will tell you that you have been here all along and only just woken, but that is likely not the case.

[video]

[cyprian_swan]

[Oh my~ He is handsome, though not quite human.]

Such charming manners, Jarlaxle~ And I am quite agreeable to that supposition. I recall the circumstances of my birth, so why should I not recall ever being here?

[video]

[showmeshinies]

Indeed, my lady. It is my opinion, backed by some evidence, of course, that we were brought here against our wills - most likely by the King and Queen and their lackeys.

[She's the prettiest thing he's ever seen. She could be a goblin and he wouldn't be able to take his eyes off of her.]

[video]

[cyprian_swan]

Oh really? They surely must have some strength to bring one such as I here.

[She better not catch you saying that in her hearing]

✖ video -- feeling like p diddy, baby

[fuckmyaltitude]

[ please don't tell him that's an ancient greek goddess on his portal

please ]

[ ooc: COULD NOT RESIST; if he knows about icarus, he knows about you, aphrodite. .... i'm totally going back to my slowatus now. ]

✖ video -- <3

[cyprian_swan]

[ooc: I see you breaking slowatus.]

[And yes, yes that IS an ancient Greek goddess on your PORTAL, baby. Aren't you overjoyed?]

[fuckmyaltitude]

[ No, what the fuck. You're not supposed to exist. I don't even -- there's no god.

Okay, you know what? He's going to give her the benefit of the doubt and just assume her mother was really into mythology and... and spare the mindfuck.

.... Right? Please? ]

Re: ✖ video

[cyprian_swan]

[Who says she is not supposed to exist? And she has no mother except the seafoam that she arose from at her birth]
