Aphrodite is in a much better mood tonight than she's been in some time. There's a little swing in her step as she walks to the Bar.

This joint may have been sort of depressing lately, but she's got the perfect fixer-upper.

"Honey," she says, "could you see your way to spreading the word around? I promise, next time I'll throw one you can come to."

Smiling, Aphrodite turns and heads for the door.

[ooc: It's that time again! If you'd like your character to receive an invite to Aphrodite's holiday party, feel free to write that here, in their own post, or wherever. Aphrodite's not taggable at the moment, but she is writeable-to.]

X leaves a return note.

I do not know what fashionably late means.

--X

Hi X,

It means bring your boyfriend.

xoxo

-Aphrodite

" - the goddess Aphrodite?"

Well. Maybe Scorpius can ask for her tips on how to avoid making eyes at a certain adorable, green-eyed boy during class?

He pockets the invitation.

Iris just smiles at the card, wondering if Charles received one as well.

Lady - I look forward to this event most joyously. Please inform me if there is aught I can do to assist.

Chrysopteron

Hey sweetie,

Will do. In the meantime, plan to bring yourself and a smile-- ooh, and maybe that boy.

Kisses,
Aphrodite

". . . Awww, she does care."

Palamedes receives the note and is confused as he is quite sure he has never meet the Lady Aphrodite. Unless this was the Lady Inanna using a different name, in which case this could be bad. Either way, he can not ignore the summons and so writes in return.

Lady, I am honored to have received your missive though I must confess confusion as I do not believe we have met. If I have errored in this, please accept my humblest apologies.

Yours in honor,
Palamedes, duke of Provance, former knight of the Round Table, once prince of Babylon, servant to Tammuz

There, that should provide some insight as to whether this is a trap of some sort or not.

Aphrodite may be a little drunk when she replies to this one.

No apologies necessary! Knight of the Round Table?? You've got to come, sweetheart.

Pretty please with a cherry,
-Aphrodite

He receives the note far sooner than he expected and ponders it's possible meaning while drinking a fresh cup of mint tea.

I thank you dear Lady, and I shall attend.
~Palamedes

Now what would be a proper offering to the Lady of Love?

Lady - I would be honored. I may bring a guest, but if so will be unable to arrive before sunset. I hope this is not a difficult.

Ganymede leaves his response with the bar, and smiles to himself as he also collects several packets of henna powder.

Hey cutie,

Sundown's very early around here these days-- not a problem.

Just make sure he behaves. ; )

-Aphrodite

"...huh."

Mary's not accustomed to receiving invitations in Milliways, especially from people who she has never met. Could it be that the bar has it's own social set?

Of course, it could just be someone teasing her. Maybe they know she's been reading Greek mythology?

Either way, the invitation returns home with her and sits on her desk, awaiting a proper answer.

The closest Mako gets to words when he receives the invitation is "...".

He doesn't know this 'Aphrodite' person. He doesn't know why she's throwing a holiday party. And he most certainly doesn't know how a bar, of all things, can dispense invitations.

Eventually, he grabs a pen and writes a reply that, when translated, reads something like this:

Aphrodite -

I'd love to come, but I need to check with my brother first.

- Mako

Then, he writes out a note for Bolin, with the invitation attached.

Bolin -

It's Mako. I just got an invitation for this holiday party somebody's throwing back in their world.

('Their world'. Yeaaaah, he's still gonna need some time to adjust to the whole multiversal aspect of this place.)

Do you want to come with me?

Aphrodite, in the party planning zone, fires off a cheery reply:

Mako,

Of course! How nice of you to think of your family.

Good luck,
Aphrodite

And you should see the look on Bolin's face when he gets both Mako's note and the invite. His own handwriting's substantially messier than his brother's, but Bar translates it just fine, too.

Arriving to both Mako and Aphrodite:

YES

YES

I AM TOTALLY IN

LET'S GO

--Bo

After a second, realizing this Aphrodite lady probably doesn't recognize what that first syllable's short for, he adds in smaller -- and slightly sheepish -- print: (Bolin)

...And after another second: (Mako's brother)

"...well now."

Miss Barlow'd get a kick out of this one, he's sure.

He takes a pen and writes out a reply.

Aphrodite -

It'd be my pleasure to attend.

- John Marston

The dancing? Not so much - Abigail'd kill him if she found out, and she would find out. The drinking and refreshments? Sure.

Mr. Marston,

In which case, I look forward to meeting you.

-Aphrodite

Tommy isn't exactly a party person.

He's not sure if Kate would want to go, where a lot more Milliways people would see them together.

...Wherever she is right now, anyway, even if she does come back in time.

Maybe the wait is getting to him.

He kind of wants to bang his head against the bar.

Aprhodite,

I can't say no to a goddess. Consequences and all, you know.

- Tommy

(Bar might have to translate Tommy's pigeon-scratch handwriting.)

Lady Aphrodite,

I shall attend, not only as my best self, but as myself entirely, as previously discussed. Presuming, that is, that I may find my way to Nyc.

I thank you for your generous invitation,
Harry Percy

Aphrodite -
I am almost completely certain you have the wrong Artemis here.
- Artemis,
Gotham USA

Clem's surprised to get an invitation - she barely knows Aphrodite, after all - but the idea of a party right at this very moment is more than welcome. There's a return note sent to Dite fairly quickly.

I'll be there!

Howard talked to her once. Very pretty. A bit odd, but very pretty.

He thinks he can make it. He's not one to pass up a party.

Hoshi stares at the invitation for a very long time.

Eventually, with some hesitations over the phrasing and at least one inkblot meant to cover a word, he pens a response.

Lady Aphrodite, it's an honor we I couldn't possibly refuse.

Sincerely,
Louis Hoshi, Lieutenant (Junior Grade)
Communications Officer, Battlestar Galactica
