When Eris Comes Calling Love (Tag: Aphrodite)
Eris put off talking to Blonde Thing for as long as she possibly could, but when she got back from the party it was almost 2 am, and the radio wasn't playing anything new, no matter how hard Eris hit it. She managed to wait another few minutes by looking for kangeroos in the shapes on her ceiling, but then she found one, and it reminded her of Hermod. After that, the bundle of nerves in her stomach started looping around her vital organs and Eris couldn't wait any longer. It was too late for a regular social call, so Eris grabbed her bucket of nail polish and made her way to the temple of Love.
She crept in and stealthily made it past all of the attendants, and up to Blonde Thing's door. Normally, Eris would just walk in without knocking, because that way she was more likely to see something no one wanted her to. This time though, Eris needed a favor, and advice. This meant that she had to try and get on Love's good side. She knocked.
Eris waited a couple seconds and then knocked harder. “Hey,” Eris called through the door, “Are you awake?” If the love goddess didn't answer, Eris would have to call even louder, or go home and get her megaphone. “Please,” she said, “I need your help.” If Blonde Thing never answered, Eris didn't know what she was going to do, but she knew it would involve glitter, and google, both of which were entirely unreliable. Eris didn't want unreliable in this case. If Eris did, she wouldn't be there asking Blonde Thing for help.
