Fish have a reputation for making people feel very calm when they watch them. You find aquariums in dentist's offices, business offices, and even government offices, for this very reason. One of the most popular screen savers for a computer is that of fish, swimming slowly back and forth.
There are experts, however, that contend this doesn't work for anyone with an overactive mind or imagination.
The voting was in, the Discus Fish had won, but Aphrodite had declared a tie and gotten all three kinds of fish for her aquarium. They seemed happy enough, swimming around the sunken ship she'd put in the fish bowl, and blinking at the diver as they swam past him.
The rest of the free 'Rub My Fishie' vibrators were on the shelf as a sale item, for five dollars a piece.
Aphrodite herself was now sitting in her chair, watching the fish, tapping her fingers on the arm chair.
It had been fun putting the aquarium together, but she was wondering when the fish were going to do something or when the calm was going to kick in.
(ooc: Open. Welcome to all the newbies. The goddess is in. I need a volunteer to help me with a tiny plot point sometime this week; all it will take is a short conversation with Aphrodite. Give me a holler if you're interested.)
dite's decadent delights,
aphrodite
