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.

"Not in my corner of Texas," she chuckles, and then remembers her manners. "Beggin' your pardon — I'm from Texas, Earth, in the year eighteen-eighty-eight. When an' where are you from?"

"Republic City. We...don't really number our years."

This makes organizing a timeline just a liiiiitle awkward.

"I've never heard of Texas. What's it like?"

"Oh, that's all right. I met somebody not too long ago who didn't number their years either."

Kate just enjoys hearing about other places.

"Texas is wonderful. S'hot, an' there's an awful lotta desert where I'm at. Plains, mostly, though we do have forests an' mountains. Lots of wide open spaces, an' big, deep skies."

Mako nods, once.

"Sounds like some places in the Earth Kingdom. I've never been, myself - I've actually never gone outside the city."

Earth Kingdom.



"Well, a world's an awful big place t'cover. I haven't traveled much myself. What's your city like?"
