"Mmmm... back to what you want, I see... I'm starting to like you greedy."

She smiled, leaning back a bit to look up at him with a clouded expression... then smiled, transporting them both from the bar to the living room of the home she shared with Anteros.

"Home sweet home..."

She pulled back, hand reaching for his as she turned to move toward the hot tub. She led the way toward the back of the house, stoppng abruptly as she came to the doorway of the kitchen, spying Anteros and Flidais.

"I... thought you were in Bantry Bay?"

He almost expected when he heard the beginnings of a voice that was neither his own or Flidais' that Psyche had returned, but then the voice quickly registered as Ate.

"Ate, lovely you're home. We were and then---well a whole lot happened since then. Our dogs are frozen. Apparently everything in the cabinet I have to drink is also frozen. I don't think it's aging."

An afterthought, "You should turn on the television."

"It's easy to be greedy with someone that shares your desires."

He'd just taken her hand when she stopped at the kitchen door. Momos simply stood behind her and surveyed the scene. The woman was beautiful but not really his type. Then he latched onto Anteros. Man on man sizing up began.

All he could wonder is if Anteros was any kind of competition for Ate.

Flidais was just about to suggest to Anteros that they do some 'scientific' testing to ensure their abilities were back to normal when company arrived in the form of Ate and Momos.

Out of habit and perhaps a sign that her lusty personality was truly back Flidais' eyes drifted up the length of Momos' frame, a small smirk appearing upon her face as she realized that his attention was on Anteros.

"Men" she thought as she took a step closer to Anteros, hoping Momos would interpret it to mean that they were involved even if they weren't quite really thus eliminating the need for his alpha male posturing because really Flidais' had seen enough of that with her husband to last her a lifetime.

"I've only just arrived from home. After I found Guinness frozen, my first thoughts were for Anteros and Adonis."

"So it's everywhere, then? What's up with that? We were in New York... Thought we'd come here for... umm. Dessert."

She flashed a light smirk, unwilling to admit her real reason for bringing Momos back to the house.

"But you felt it, right? Everything feels back to normal, except for the whole... no one moving thing."

She was oblivious to any look Momos might be giving to Anteros, but not so much to the one Flidais was giving Momos, her brow lifting just a bit, smirk growing.

"Momos, have you met Flidais? She's a Celt. Flidais, my Uncle Momos." She didn't feel the need to introduce Anteros, as she was sure they knew each other, at least in passing.

"So I take it those skills you two were lacking not long ago are all fixed?"

Flidais nodded slightly in response to Ate's explanation of their arrival.

"Dessert is always the best part of an evening."

Being who she was there was no doubt in her mind at just what type of dessert was being discussed.

"Momos, it's a pleasure."

She offered him a smile before raising a brow of her own and focusing her attention on Ate.

"I feel normal but I have not had the chance to put any of the skills that were lost to the test. Have you discovered what it was you were searching for when I last saw you?"

Uncle, huh? Ok.

"It really is. Especially after the satisfying dinner we just had."

He inclined his head at Flidais, "Same here." He'd noticed the move closer to Anteros, but that didn't mean anything. He knew Anteros was an erote and they weren't the most monogamous crew around.

"Anteros." He leaned forward and offered a hand to the erote, even while continuing to size him up. "Good to see you again."

At Fli's comment, he turned his head and cocked an eyebrow at Ate. These were the ones she'd kissed? Interesting. Well, at least he knew she hadn't enjoyed them. That thought made him more inclined to like Anteros.

Her eyes widened at his mention of a satisfying dinner, and she flashed him a glare before looking back at Flidais, nodding lightly. She was not going to blush. Ruin? Did not blush.

"We were at a party, at my mother's. Not too surprising, it got a bit rowdy... so we decided to leave."

She looked to Ant, shaking her head a bit as his comment about the TV sunk in. "It's not time for Days..."

She returnd her attention to Flidais, ignoring Momos' look and nodded a bit.

"I have... I did. Still not sure how I feel about the answer, though. Seems like trouble. But I might have to stop fighting it, like you said."

While Ate spoke Flidais glanced quickly at Anteros, knowing that once they had some time alone together she'd need to tell him about the events that he had missed after he had left the bay. She didn't think it would impact the current physical nature of their friendship, but she was certain he'd be pleased at hearing the news she had to share.

"Sometimes it only seems like trouble because you've been fighting it for so long. Besides if things don't work at least you can say you gave it a shot."

She paused for a moment and then added almost as an after thought.

"It is important to get out as soon as it stops working. Otherwise sticking around becomes painful."

Anteros was oblivious to Momos sizing him up, perhaps only because he only briefly glanced at Momos, recognizing he was there before Flidais' nearness diverted his attention. He wondered if Flidais had stepped closer to himself to get closer to Ate? While Ate hadn't felt anything mind-blowing from what he gathered from their kiss, it did appear as if she had enjoyed it; they both had appeared to have enjoyed it.

Dessert?

A smile spread his lips. He knew what dessert was codename for, or at least he thought he did, but this was...Ate.

"To my knowledge. I've charm and charisma back," although he had not tested it he was pretty sure skill was intact, being a part of the erote package.

"Momos," He took the offered hand firmly, but somehow his hand still seemed dainty in comparison to the offering hand.

"Same here Momos," he said not being able to recall having much of a past with the scornful one, the one who found fault in everyone as Momos was known.

"A party at your mothers? That must have been interesting and alas it isn't "time" it seems for anything," he gestured toward the clock on the wall whose hands were stuck in the exact position they were in when he'd stepped into the kitchen.

And then it seemed as if he experienced something every male in the world experienced when two women got together for a chat, he experienced confusion because he had no idea what they were talking about. What were they fighting?

"Good point, I suppose... I'm not so worried about needing to get out. Once I make my mind up about something, I'm pretty tenacious."

She grinned lightly at Flidais and nodded to Anteros. "Well, I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out, if it's all working. I don'tthink I'm the best judge, all things considered."

She thoughtfor a moment about the party, and smiled. "I thought it was a pretty good party... interesting was one word for it. I'm sure they're loving it now at least. Well... I don't think we want to interrupt you. I can grab a few things, and we can get out of your hair?"

She glanced over her shoulder at Momos for confirmation.

At Flidais' words, Momos almost groaned. The last, the very LAST thing he needed was Flidais fucking up everything he'd worked so hard for. If Ate bolted? He was gonna fuck someone's shit up. But then Ate spoke, and he felt quite a bit better. She didn't seem like she was ready to bolt at the moment. It was a step.

He grinned at Anteros when he mentioned the "interesting" party. "It was fairly normal until my sister, Styx, decided to start a fight. But then there is nothing my sister loves more than antagonizing those she considers lessors. So it was pretty normal for her, all things considered."

When Ate looked back at him, he met her eyes and something hot flared in them. Oh, yes. He had no problem leaving with her.

"Yes, we don't want to interrupt your evening."

Flidais was truly happy that Ate seemed to have gotten things straightened out and even happier that she and Momos were going to go take care of some 'unfinished business'.

"Anteros and I wouldn't want to interrupt your dessert either."

The latter comment with a grin for Flidais could suddenly feel the lust, want and need that was starting to fill Anteros' kitchen and it was starting to make her a bit light headed for she had been without that sensorary ability during the switch.

Closing the already small distance between her and Anteros, she lets her hand come to rest at the small of his back, fingers caressing the material covered skin gently, waiting somewhat impatiently until she could get the shirt completely off of his body.

Styx started a fight?

"You're not interrupting, in fact, you both just missed Psyche."

He chuckled, "She went out the door and just poofed away I presume. If everyone wasn't frozen, I'd have a lot of confused neighbors."

He wondered if he shouldn't just leave and let them hang out there, since he already had questions he wanted to ask his mother. He also wanted to go out and see the frozen world.

Feeling the hand at his back,

"Actually..."

"I think if Flidais wants to come along with me, I'm going to go out into the world and see what the world truly looks like when it's frozen in place. I wonder if my camera would work..."

"Psyche was here?"

She lifted a brow at that knowing full well how well Anteros got along with his sister in law. "That must have been fun. If you're going out and about, then that's cool..."

She grinned lighly, and nodded her head toward the hall.

"I have something for you though... if y'all will excuse us for a moment."

She stepped toward the bedrooms, motioning him to follow.

Anteros smiled at Flidais and cut through the door, maneuvering around Momos before winding up in a room alone with Ate, "Something for me?"

She nodded, reaching into her bag and pulling out the package Lethe had given her.

"Lethe asked that I give these to you... She said to tell you she took them without permission, and so felt she should return them... but that you should really think about if you want them back or not before looking? All she'd tell me when I pried was that some memories are better off forgotten."

She placed the bag in his hand, closing his fingers around it, before offering a grin.

"You're gonna be gone for a while, I hope?"

He wondered what on earth Ate was talking about...

Some memories are better off forgotten?

"What do you mean? What is this?"

He glanced at the bag.

"Probably. I want to look around and then I suppose I should do something responsible like go speak to my Mother, find out what went wrong and hope it's not permanent. Adonis can't stay frozen forever. I'd really miss the tail wagging and all the confused doggy head cants when he thinks I'm crazy. And a club without patrons? Not much of a club."

He smiled, "So you and Momos?"

"Memories, I guess? I'm not sure... Lethe is being cryptic right now. I'd say go ask her, but if we're back to normal, she probably is as well."

She leaned back against the door jamb and nodded as he listed off the things he planned to do.

"You think Aphrodite's got a handle on this, as well? You'll have to keep me in the loop there... And I'm looking forward to your club reopening. I better be invited... And you're right about Adonis. Who's going to keep up with the Brady's with me?"

She chuckled as he asked about Momos, and offered a shrug. "I don't know. Looks that way, for now. It's very strange. I guess we'll see? But... if you're gonna be leaving, I'd appreciate having the place for a few hours, at least." She grinned, possibly blushing.

Memories.

He didn't remember losing any memories, but then he supposed he wouldn't remember.

"Dear Heavens I hope so, I will if I can find you, and you know you're always invited," he smiled.

It was strange that it seemed like Ate had a boyfriend.

"You got it."

She nodded, pushing herself off the doorjamb and leaning up to kiss his cheek.

"Brilliant. You're a doll. Now... Not to kick you out of your own house? But.. You should go. Have fun out there in the big.. frozen world. Learn good things."

She smirked, sliding her arm through his, and led him back toward the kitchen.

Flidais watched Ate and Anteros, leave the room together before moving over to the kitchen counter and leaning against eyeing up Momos.

"So you're the one that flustered Ate so much that she tracked us all the way to Ireland for a bit of an experiment."

She brushed her fingers against her lips gently.

"She one of the better kissing Goddesses"

[info]mockitymockmock
2008-07-06 03:22 pm UTC (link)
Momos turned his head to watch Ant and Ate leave. He didn't feel particularly threatened by Anteros anymore, not with the look Ate had given him, so he wasn't worried. He just wanted her with him.

When Flidais spoke, he looked back over to her.

"Am I? I knew she'd gone somewhere, but I didn't know it was Ireland and I didn't realize she'd experimented with you as well." That was hot. While he didn't want her making out with other gods, he certainly didn't mind if she made out with another goddess.

He followed the movement of her fingers with his eyes, and his eyebrow cocked.

"I agree. She's talented."

"There aren't many goddesses that I'd be willing to kiss a second time but Ate she is definitely now on the list."

Moving around the kitchen, Flidais settles herself in a chair at the table to wait for Anteros' return. She hadn't been interested at first at going for a walk anywhere but the more she thought about it everything being frozen the more curious she became.

"Do you have a place around here too? I had friends once that had a place in Bakersfield. Spent a lot of time there but things didn't quite work out."

"Well, I'll be sure to let her know her options are still open."

Momos leaned against a counter and smirked at Flidais.

"Here? No. I live mainly in New York with a little in L.A. This is a little too..." He looked out the window, "...yuppie for me. I prefer the darker side of town, myself."

"I'd just like to get some things on film."

An afterthought as they returned to the kitchen, "Just think, the fish in the sea are frozen. Someone should take pictures if it's at all possible."

He approached Flidais, "What do you say Fli? Want to go out exploring this frozen world?"

[info]flidais_dot_com
2008-07-08 05:30 pm UTC (link)
Flidais' interest was peaked at Momos' mention of the darker side, her mind flipping immediately to sexual deviance and for a moment she wasn't quite completely aware of her surroundings. Until Anteros approach and question brought her out of her daydream involving leather and restraints

"mmm yes. I think I'd like to go exploring with you."

Flidais definitely was up for exploring both her kind and the kind Anteros was currently talking about. Rising from her chair she gives Momos a genuine smile.

"It was nice to meet you and thanks for putting a word in for me."

At the feel of her arm around his waist, Momos turned to give Ate a smile. His arm going around her shoulders and pulling her close.

"You ready?"

When Flidais gave him a smile, he took his eyes off Ate and returned it.

"Same here and no problem."

She nodded lightly in answer to his question, instinctively leaning in against him, fitting in against his side. She flashed a quick smile then looked toward Anteros.

"I'd try digital... explaining those pics to the guy at the kodak counter might be tough. Or go with video. Nothing moves in a photo anyhow, does it? Which ever way you go, you kids have fun with that..."
She wasn't exactly rushing them out, but...

"The digital? Good idea. I think I left it on a shelf in the living room. I guess I'll see you later," he told her and extended his hand to coil fingers around Flidais' hand.

Just the touch of his fingers to her hand, set off a wave of warmth sweeping through her body heading directly toward her core. Waving with her free hand to Ate, she followed Anteros through the door toward the living room.

"Do you think the ocean is frozen solid too?"

Flidais was pretty certain that if the water wasn't frozen solid, she would need to take a dip in the Pacific's cold depths or else she might just spontaneously self combust.

"Or do you think it is merely stilled and its inhabitants are frozen?"

Reaching the living room, Flidais glances at where she laid Guiness down to rest and sighs softly, wishing that he and Adonis were mobile to join them on this adventure.

"Well if time is frozen it's a good bet it's unmovable, I don't know about solid..."

Water was still after all liquid and time suspended didn't change the composition of a thing, just halted it's ability to move, change, age...

"I didn't hear it when I stepped outside earlier. You can always hear the sounds of the waves from here."

He retrieved the camera from the shelf he remembered leaving it on, "I think it's everything."

Flidais nodded at his explanation and followed him out of the house. The odd silence of the non-moving world enveloping her instantly.

"It feels so strange, not hearing the normal sounds of life."

There were no sounds at all, no man made sounds, no sounds of nature it was all very surreal and she turned toward the direction of the beach before looking at Anteros.

"Shall we?"

It was true; it was strange and strangely enough a bit humbling. What did a motionless, passionless world need with gods of passion? There was not the usual sounds, the sounds of traffic, ocean, people, birds, and dogs...

"Definitely."

He wondered if he could drive his car? Would it start up?

"It's a bit eerie isn't it?"

Flidais was looking around taking the nothingness in. Never in all her years had she seen anything like this.

"It's so odd..I keep expecting to hear something. Anything. A cricket or a horn or the steady beat of a jogger working their way around the block."

Moving closer to Anteros, she lets her arm slip casually around his waist and rests her head upon his arm.

"I hope this is just a temporary problem."

Flidais honestly didn't know what they would do if the mortals that they influenced were no more.

Anteros rested a hand against her hip. He didn't like the thought that this was anything other than a temporary problem. What would he do? What would they do? What was a world of gods without those that needed them? It was like a shepherd without a flock, a pretty lonely, miserable thing, without purpose.

The hand against her hip was comforting as they made their way toward the beach to see the waves..or well what once were the rolling and crashing waves for themselves.

When they arrived it was beyond eerie, there were a few dozen occupants on the beach, all frozen. To her right a woman laying on her towel her hand reaching out toward a bottle of water. To her left a lone jogger frozen in mid stride as he ran but the oddest of them all was the water.

Waves, frozen mid crest along the length of the beach stared at them it was truly an amazing yet disturbing sight.

"This is just too strange for words."

Anteros raised the camera to his face and took a few pictures. The people on the beach were frozen as if he and Flidais were the only real people in a three dimensional picture.

He swallowed, "Strange is an understatement love. I hope my mother knows what is going on."

Flidais just watched as Anteros took pictures of the strangeness that was their 'new' world.

"I am sure that she does"

Despite the fact that Flidais found Dite a bit intimidating, she was sure that the other goddess knew of the current situation and was probably already working to right things once more.

"Do you want to pay her a visit after we are done here? I could go back to the house to keep an eye on Adonis and Guinness if you'd like."

Dogsitting frozen dogs didn't sound overly exciting but Flidais didn't really want to wander around alone with all the stuff that was going on lately.
