Who: Pride & Eros
What: A Sin meets one of the Erotes. I honestly have no idea what will happen.
When: Thursday evening
Where: Streets of NY
If there was one thing Pride didn't handle well (well, OK, she didn't handle quite a few things well, but that was besides the point), it was boredom. She loved sitting around and languishing-when that was what she wanted to do. When it wasn't, however, and there was nothing to do, it made her grumpy and agitated.
Which was what led her to dress herself in black and start stalking the streets of New York City. It gave her something to do, and if she came upon some unlucky mortal, or even an immortal, well then, all the better for her.
So when she felt the buzz in the back of her brain that meant an immortal was close by, she turned in that direction and started after it. Perhaps tonight was looking up, after all.

January was already whipping by quickly, which made Eros giddy. That meant February was literally around the corner. His month to shine! With a bounce in his step he skipped down the street whistling a happy tune.
He too felt that buzz dancing around and he turned his head to look around to see who stuck out like a sore thumb.

Pride had noticed the little man, but she doubted he'd noticed her. She was dressed all in black, and knew how to melt into the shadows when she needed to. But it might be fun to toy with this one a bit. At least until she got bored of him, as she always tended to get bored with her playthings. So she stepped under a nearby streetlight, letting it illuminate her.

Eros was curious, he continued to look around, smiling at people passing by who seemed to recognize him if only a little from his game show. He waved finally setting on a more gloomy looking person who stood under the streetlamp as if to call attention to herself.
The curious little godling approached without a second thought. "You don't look familiar, but you are not like the rest of them," he pointed around to the few people still walking past with a grin.

"Too fucking right, I'm not," Pride replied in a clipped tone. "I am better than all of them, mortal or immortal, which is something none of them ever seem to learn." She dug in her pockets for her cigarettes and lighter, the flame catching the end of the paper tube and setting it to smoldering.
"So," she asked after a few drags. "What do they call you?"

Eros puffed out his chest pridefully, not really realizing who he was in contact with. "Eros!" He near bounced on the note. "God of love!" He gave her a cheeky grin, not at all disturbed by her language and nasty behavior. Not yet anyway. "And you?"

She noted his stance and the way he puffed out his chest, and a smirk crossed her lips. "I'm Pride," she purred. "First and best of all the Sins. And you positively smack of me, little godling."

Well wasn't that special. "I'm all me," he said holding out his arms and breathing in the night air. "No one else's." Except he was every bit as vain as his mother, as loving and as vindictive as his own father.

"Oh yes?" she asked, exhaling a cloud of grey smoke that curled up to wreath her face. Her smirk was still firmly in place. "I predate you, little one. When you think of yourself, of all that you have accomplished? That feeling is me. Your pride, your ego, your overblown sense of satisfaction. That is purely mine."
"Also," she said, taking one last drag and tossing the still smoldering butt on the ground. "Your meddling arrows sent me into the arms of a mortal I would have just as soon killed as looked at twice. One bad turn deserves another, I think."
