Two Little Piggies

[tempest_swims]

In a secure room in Titans Tower, Tempest and Arsenal have both been turned into pigs by the goddess Aphrodite. The larger of the two pigs aggressively stalks the little one with the shock of red hair on his head. He oinks and grunts and squeels incessantly and rather loudly, his porcine rage evident to all nearby (although probably only Beast

"SHE was useing her powers on me. Making me break the challenge. When I get freed of this, I'm going to show her! Oh yeah! I don't know how, but this is it. NO MORE BUTT MONKEY! YOU HEAR ME WORLD? No more being the mook that gets the funny love spell, or gets blown up. This is war! And you, swore to me nothing could get me here. Well, it turns out nothing is the godess of love!"

Unless you want to be a pig for the rest of your bacon doomed life, I suggest you suck up your pride, kiss her pert little butt and learn the rules of the game you are playing. You are a pawn in a very large very ancient game. You think that us winning some cosmic Olympics is the game? No. The gods' challenging each other's power is what the game is. If you want to have a chance of getting to the end of the board and becoming a queen, or maybe a better way to say it is to get there and save your queen, you have to play by the rules. You don't have to like them or agree with them, but if you don't follow them, you end up next to eggs and potatoes on some god's breakfast platter.

Isn't Donna worth it?

"Garth? Roy? Are you still in there? All I can hear are animal noises ... Garfield, are you being a pig?"

Re: *over the intercom*

::Garth swears to himself that he doesn't have fingers or speech to answer back. And silently hopes Beast Boy didn't hear the Raggedy Ann crack or he would own the Atlantean's backside.::

"No, Raven, they aren't answering--would you please find Garfield? Garfield, if you are in there, Hugo is not here to re-enact Babe with you. He wouldn't bark like a dog for that--you would both do your lines in English."

* Pawing at the room's door and sniffing with increasing curriosity.*

'...wuff..'

[arsenal_arrow]

"Garth! It's the dog! Holy crap! I will never, EVER eat bacon again!"

[jla_extras]

*Kryptonian Canine auditory and olfactory sense confirm his suspicions....
PORK!*

"RUFF!!"

"Smacking his chops, Krypto begins to claw at the door in earnest now. Steel begins peeling away like ribbons."

*translated from wee little piggy*

"If we get eaten, its your ego's fault. I suggest you make with the ass kissing if you don't want to be picked up with a plastic bag after Krypto goes for his next walk."

Aphrodite smiles in satisfaction, then looks up, annoyed, as the alarms continue to sound. "That is enough of that." With a graceful wave of her hand, she shuts off the alarm. "As for the dog--go find a bitch in heat. Now."

She turns to Roy. "That was a very pretty apology you made. Not the most eloquent I've heard, but that's not where your gifts lie, after all." A snap of her fingers, and Roy is human again, though on all fours still. "Remember this lesson, mortal. If you think this was an impossible challenge, withdraw from your team's captaincy now before you lead them into defeat."

Gold sparkles and pink smoke rise from her feet, and she vanishes in a cloud of expensive perfume.

Roy smirks a little, but doesn't say anything. Aphrodite gave him the idea he needed to win.

* Krypto stops. Starts. Then stops again.

He sits forlorn and start to howl a very sad howl of despair as his poor heart breaks under the love spell of Aphrodite.

He is the only one of his species left. *

::Tempest keeps the barrier up until he hears the break in attempts end. Then he gets on the communicator.::

"Starfire, this is Tempest. Everything is secure down here. We had a visit from one of the Olympian gods who wanted to test Arsenal. Apparently he passed by the skin of his teeth. However, Krypto has done a bit of damage trying to get in here. I'm not sure if he's still trying but I would appreciate if he could be kenneled. Aphrodite told him to go find a doggy girlfriend and I'm not sure how an Earth dog could handle that."

Finally, he reaches out with his magic to Roy, sensing if the love spell is still intact.

[starfire_kory]

"That dog." Kory's habitual annoyance at Krypto is clear. "I will put him in the kennel myself, and ask Superboy to discipline him ... bide a moment, there is an emergency signal coming in--"
