(no subject)
Aphrodite has decided that she hates nature.
Sure, it was just fine when she was immortal, when flowers bloomed in her wake and nary a speck of dirt could touch her. But now she's mortal and subject to everything mortals have to deal with and it sucks. She has to bathe to stay clean, she has to eat things like fish, and she has to go down in that dingy compound basement and use some clunky box thing called a washing machine if she wants clean clothes. Sure, she manages to sweet talk some cute guy into doing stuff for her sometimes, but she still has to do it herself far too often.
The baths, Aphrodite doesn't mind so much, most of the time. She has a big clawfoot bathtub and a big basket of pretty soaps and things - of course, she wasn't surprised by getting a gift back in January, not long after she ended up on the island, but she definitely wasn't pleased to discover the gift-giving thing wasn't a regular occurrence. The tub doesn't fit in her room at the compound, and since she isn't about to leave it in a public bathroom where any old mortal could use it, she's got it housed up at this cute guy's hut, a tall drink of water with long red hair who she met within a week of her arriving. And as long as he's around when she wants to bathe he hauls the water to the tub for her, which is pretty awesome since it's completely bogus having to do it herself.
Speaking of baths, Aphrodite could really use one right about now. She had the bright idea to go for a walk, off the clearly marked boardwalks, thinking it couldn't possibly be that hard to find her way around. Now she's lost somewhere in the jungle, it's hot, and her bitchin' pink heeled sandals are ruined with mud. A bird flies up out of a nearby bush, startling her, and she stumbles with a frustrated cry as the heel breaks on one of her sandals. "So not fair!" she wails, practically ripping the destroyed sandals off her feet and flinging them to one side before continuing on foot.
Then, just when she thinks it couldn't possibly get any worse, she comes across the partially buried remnants of a statue, made in a familiar style. She doesn't think much of it until she gets close enough to recognize the face, and then she throws her hands up in exasperation. "Ugh! Why does cow face get a statue here and I don't?"
[Come rescue the poor former goddess! She's just found Thalia's statue of Hera, which is located between the two mountains, in the middle of the triangle formed by Locke's button, the IPD prison, and Cassie's hut. Find her at the statue or wandering, lost and annoyed, somewhere in the jungle in that general area. Oh, and feel free to handwave that your pup is one of the 'cute guys' she's charmed into doing something for her. XD New tags accepted through Friday.]
