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.

"Poison? Um -- "
Hoshi's smile is a bit sheepish now, but still present.
" -- why don't you choose for me? I've no idea what sort of drinks you have here, after all."
Re: Arrivals
She reaches for a bottle of champagne.
"Do you like bellinis?"
Re: Arrivals
Re: Arrivals
"Well, how do you feel about peaches?"
Either way, champagne is definitely getting poured.
Re: Arrivals
"I haven't had a peach in - I don't even know exactly how long."
Re: Arrivals
"Well, this one's going to be mixed with booze," she says, "so I hope that doesn't spoil it for you."
What did she do with that peach puree ...?
A few moments later, Aphrodite hands him a glass.
"Voilá," she coos.
"One bellini for you."
Re: Arrivals
His eyes half-close in bliss.
"This is a delight, Lady. Thank you."
Re: Arrivals
(And, let's face it, the praise-seeking attentiveness of a love goddess.)
"My pleasure," she murmurs, taking up the little ship again.
"Now-- I'm going to put this away."
Re: Arrivals
"I'll look around. Maybe meet a few new people."
His smile is quick and hopeful; it's clear he genuinely enjoys the thought.
"Thank you, Lady."
Re: Arrivals
"Let me know if you want me to make any introductions."
:DDDDD?
On her way out the kitchen, she tosses back a bright, "Have fun!"
