'Dite's Decadent Delights, Tuesday

Raven didn't have Ariela when she arrived at work today, but she did have a Hercules clamoring for attention. She petted him for awhile before opening the newly arrived boxes of merchandise to see what she could put away.

The Kinky Snowman 3? She Must Have Him Before He Melts? There were Christmas porn movies?

'Dite's Decadent Delights was open for all your holiday needs.

It was in the afternoon sometime that Aphrodite appeared at the shop. She had a box under her arm and a rose in her hand.

The box landed on the counter. The rose hovered in the air in front of Raven.

"Raven! How are you today?"

trigons_child: (Finding you interesting)

Raven smiled and reached for the rose. She'd grown used to Aphrodite popping in and out so she didn't even jump. "I am well, thank you," she said. "How are you?"


[About to hop in le shower, but I will be back in 10 or so!]

"I'm . . . a little sad. I went back to Greece over the weekend, stopped in at a hidden monument to an old warrior friend." She sighed. "Sometimes I think humans have the worst of it, because their lives are so short, but then I think about it and . . . I'm not so sure. At least when they die, they know they've lived. When you've been around as long as me -- you sometimes get tired and wonder what it's all about. Why am I still here? What am I really supposed to be doing? I have all this power, and the duty to spread love in the world, but -- why does the universe even exist? Is it really all about how long you live? Or about how well you live?"

Existential goddess was very existential.

"I think how well you live matters," Raven said. "Leave the world in a better place than you found it. Even if no one remembers, the earth will. And I truly hope that every time I heal or help someone, in some small way I atone for all my father has done." And had yet to do.

"Father not a nice guy, huh? Well, it's okay. You're loved anyway, Sweet Pea." And with a smile, existential time was over.

"Need you to do me a favor." She took a piece of paper and an envelope out of the box.

The paper said You are cordially invited to an all island Holiday celebration!, and listed a time and place for the party.

"I need all of these," she held up the invitations, "stuffed in all of these." And she held up the envelopes. "Think you can do that?"
trigons_child: (Looking up pleased)

[personal profile] trigons_child 2009-12-02 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course," Raven said. "I would be happy to help. You have throwing a party?"

[identity profile] divinesurfchick.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"For the whole island." Flipping through a stack, she pulled out an envelope with Raven's name. Handing it to her with an invitation, she grinned. "Here. Now there's one less to stuff!"

If Raven opened the invitation, she'd see all the information, including instructions to bring something that reminded her of home or the holidays she'd celebrate at home, to be hung on the tree at the party.
trigons_child: (Interested)

"This will be my first Christmas," Raven said, scanning the invitation. "We do not celebrate it in Azarath. It is traditional to have a tree to decorate?"

[identity profile] divinesurfchick.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I don't really celebrate Christmas. Not my thing. But this is the time of year for Solstice, and I really enjoy celebrating that. It's the time of year when Persephone returns from the Underworld, and yes, trees are traditional in several mid-winter holidays." She tilted her head. "I wouldn't think Azarath would celebrate Christmas, but did you have any celebrations at all?"
trigons_child: (Serious Raven is serious)

[personal profile] trigons_child 2009-12-03 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Raven shook her head. "Most celebrations involve great emotion," she said. "So Azarath does not truly have any."

[identity profile] divinesurfchick.livejournal.com 2009-12-03 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Really?" Aphrodite stared at her for a moment. "You know, I think that's a little sad." After all, love is an emotion, and the idea that a whole world couldn't enjoy the divine feeling she could inspire made the goddess of love pout, just a little bit.

For a moment. Then she was fine.

"But you'll come to the party, right? There'll be dinner and fun and dancing, and mistletoe!"

Right. Great thing to tell the empath, wasn't it?

"Of course I will," Raven said, smiling. "I am looking forward to it. And I will certainly try to bring something for the tree. Azarath does not have celebrations, but I am learning to enjoy them."

"I'm so glad!" Impulsively she reached to hug Raven. "And now I'll let you get back to studying or . . . reading." She winked. "See you laterrrrr!"

And she zapped herself out of the store.
