holiday party post
Aphrodite's New York loft is done up to the nines.
The first good look as one enters is of twinkling Manhattan through the big windows, lights bright against a dark winter sky. The windows take up most of two walls; the rest of the space is largely empty, the star of the show a glowingly polished hardwood floor perfect for dancing.
There's a cluster of low-slung couches and chairs at one end of the room, velvet and leather and very inviting. They're situated by the fireplace, which lends them a cozy glow-- though it isn't cold anywhere in here, despite the windows.
Aphrodite is very proud of a few things about tonight:
1) The music, which spans a decent range of time periods and tempos, and will be playing for most of the evening.
2) The decorations, understated but quite lovely: softly glowing lights, silver and gold ribbons wound around columns and draped from the ceiling ... the occasional strategically placed bit of mistletoe.
3) Her dress.
And yes, darlings, there is a very well stocked bar and counter full of snacks.
That's what happens when you enlist the Three Graces to help you plan your shindigs.

Gently.
"They are, I am thinking, not so much for having wings. So."
Re: Food and Drink
"They could."
River looks as if she's considering this prospect deeply, and finding it delightful.
Re: Food and Drink
"It is not so much the same as winged kittens."
Sadly.
Oberon would surely have appreciated those even more!
Re: Food and Drink
"Rodentia. It's a difference of the taxonomic food chain."
Winged kittens would hunt winged hamsters.
Normal kittens would also hunt winged hamsters, but probably less effectively.

He makes another face, and starts in on the next tray of appetizers.
Alas, poor vegetable slices. We knew you.
"You are for wanting one?"
Two, of course, is one too many for peace.
Re: Food and Drink
And then, reluctantly, "It's a hazard in the air ducts. Captain'd fuss."
Re: Food and Drink
Hmm.
"Also possibly silent."
An untouchable flying hamster mime.
Best present ever.
Re: Food and Drink
This might be a question, even if it doesn't sound like one.
River isn't judging either way, though!
