Gonna have a party...

[bringsthelight]

Apollo stared around his beach-front villa with an air of pleased satisfaction. All was in readiness for his "shindig" this evening. And, thanks to a bit of fast talking and a lot of charming wheedlement, tonight would last for a good long while - which was a blessing in disguise for His Radiance, because Apollo was looking forward to a damned

PAVILION

{Beach chairs, tiki torches, light breezes and cool silk drapes complete the ensemble. Relax with your drink and enjoy the scenery and some conversation.}

If there was one thing Artemis could eat, it was fruit. She had piled her plate high at the buffet tables, pineapple and starfruit and cherries scattered over honeydew and cantaloupe and kiwis in a cluster that should have long fallen over. It didn't, and she smiled triumphantly as she settled down on a chaise lounge and surveyed the grounds.

Her brother - each incarnation of them, even - could do many things, but parties were a special sort of event that even the goddess of chastity and virginity couldn't ignore. Artemis always insisted she came to be a wise, virtuous influence on the happenings, but really she just liked to spend a little time with her brother on his days off. He really didn't get enough of them.

Having sensed a familiar presence, Apollo strolled over, hands in pockets and white unbuttoned shirt billowing in the slight evening breeze. He cocked an eyebrow at the pile of food in Artemis' lap and swallowed a snicker.

"Comfortable, sis?"

[virginalert]

Cocking her head to the side, Artemis popped a cube of starfruit into her mouth and smiled. She shifted over, denim-clad legs (bless modernity and their adorable clothes) curling up beside her to give him room to sit should he want to.

"Hello, brother. Want some?"

BAR

{Anything and everything you can think to ask for, you'll get it. Mixed drinks, beer, hard liquor, no limit. Get as gnoshed as you like; it's all on the house!}

Pan straightens his sapphire blue linen shirt, barely laced, and saunters up to the bar on narrow, bare feet with a sharp grin, leaning his elbow in.

"A dry martini," he said blithely. "One. In a deep champagne goblet. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel." He beamed. "Got it?"

[bringsthelight]

"Well, well, well," Apollo drawled, strolling over with Ezmerelda still asnooze on his shoulder. "Long time, no see, cousin." Gesturing to the mortal behind the counter to step up on the booze, he too cocked a hip against the counter and crossed arms over his chest, a smirk threatening one corner of his lips.

"I didn't think that old number even worked for you anymore, Pan." A pale eyebrow twitched up in dry amusement. "Peachy you still have a great mobile plan."

[panikondeima]

"I have permanent call-forwarding for the special people in my life," Pan drawled as he turned with the 007. "How're tricks, coz? I see you've finally followed my advice and taken a vacation from our dear ancestral home."

BONFIRE

[bringsthelight]

{The fire's going, crackling merrily a bit away from the rest of the revelry; sparks, you know. But feel free to sit in either a beach chair or just on the sand and tell stories, roast marshmallows, whatever. Can't have a beach party without one!}

This isn't what Eros had expected to see from the air as he arcs through the night sky toward Apollo's beach, but there's a growing smile on his face as he lands lightly on the sand and folds his wings neatly along his back.

"Looks like someone's having a party," he murmurs, then pulls out his phone and laughs as he sees the text from Apollo announcing the very same. The conversation he'd been half-considering having with Apollo can wait; this might be exactly what he needs.

[bringsthelight]

A chirp and a squawk greeted Eros as the latter arced over the bay; little Ezmerelda was trying out her wings for the third time and had actually managed to stay aloft this attempt.

Apollo had no need for actual flight, so it was up to the little lizardlet to teach herself how to fly. But she flapped over beside the wingèd god, chirping and trilling as she wobbled and weaved along.

Flying was hard work, after all.

[lovessweetbait]

Eros laughed, grinning widely as the bright green dragonet's progress. "That's a girl!" he called up at her as he took to the air again, hovering as he held out his hands, beckoning her closer.

BUFFET

[bringsthelight]

{There are three buffet tables near the pavilion, all loaded with exotic fruits, meats, exquisite dishes prepared in mouth-watering sauces, desserts richer than all of Creosote's gold and other delicacies lost to modern day man. Help yourself, eat as much as you like; no matter how much goes, more appears shortly after!}

Hy grinned as he looked over the Buffet, picking up a piece of fruit he stood nibbling watching the people partying. He had to give it to Apollo, he threw one hell of a Party.

[bringsthelight]

"And what are you doing over here by yourself, hm?" Apollo's grin was evident in the words as he strolled over, draping an arm over Hyacinthus' shoulders and kissing his smooth cheek. "There's more to be seen and done than just crowding a lonely corner, love."

[ego_fluffer]

He smiled warmly, "I was taking in the view" he said softly. "Every one seems so happy, you do good" he added. "You look fantastic" he added with a soft smile. "Will you dance with me? When you've seen to your host duties?" he asked.
