![]() Location: Times Square Ares grumbled something under his breath. "Do we all have to live together?" He asked, not wanting the answer that was sure to come. Since Zeus had found out about Aphrodite and him, he has returned to Thrace and lived alone. He liked that. Although he often visited his human flesh-covered throne on Mt. Olympus. "Aphrodite, your....husband.." He hissed as he said it. "he's coming too?" Ares seemed to grow another inch or so, his face flushed with anger. "This is even more torture than I thought. Curse you father!!!" He kicked at a near by wall. |

![]() Location: Times Square "Oh hush you. I have no idea if he is going to be here on not. I bet he is daddy's favorite." She kissed him on the cheek and stopped leaning on him. Her stomach grumbled. "I'm hungry." She knew she was whining but she didn't feel like she deserved to be on Earth. "When we get back to Olympus our father is going to get an ear full." She stomped her foot on the dull gray sidewalk. |

![]() Athena Location: Time Square Demeter was right and thankfully she'd backed up Athena's plan to find a place to live, though she didn't quite want to live with everyone and under the same roof. It was uncomfortable to be surrounded by so many clashing personalities and she did not want to deal with the issues between Posiedon and Artemis, or Aphrodite, her husband, and Ares. She rolled her eyes at Aphrodite's carefree lifestyle. She did not want to have to break up another fight. "I think if we look hard enough we can find a nice condo around here or maybe a house on the outskirts," Athena spoke up as she tried to remember if she'd seen any signs of "For Sale" on her walk over to the group. Well, she wouldn't since this was Times Square. "If anything we can get rooms at a hotel or something," she suggested to ease the tensions of being clustered together in a house. If they had their own rooms, then she wouldn't have to deal with every single one of their dramas. She just wanted quiet to think about how the hell to get out of here. "Ares, I think you should calm down before you get arrested," Athena warned, joking slightly but still worried something he'd do would sound alarms in the policemen who surveyed the area. She wasn't sure Zeus' intent was to have his fellow gods trapped behind human bars. |

Location: Times Square Ares sighed and rejoined the group. "Can we get somewhere comfortable? I don't wanna just stand around." He shoved his hands in his pockets. "Damn, I need to do something." His muscles twitched, he wanted to do something, something destructive. Being the god of war and slaughter, he hoped to see a murder or something. He needed it. Without bloodshed he is the god of nothing. Ares then wondered if he could find a shop that sold some sort of weaponry. Maybe there was, there is always a way to get what you need if you know where to look. First, he needed a change of clothes though. Maybe a tough jacket and some sort of new armor. He didn't care if it was new technology, he wanted to know he was somewhat protected. |

Demeter nodded. "A bunch of hotel rooms might be a better idea, at least for now. Hm..." Deme looked around, scanning the area and there it was, down the street. A huge building with people coming in and hout with large luggage bags. "Over there." She said pointing. After a minute she thought about it then turned to the others. "Look why don't a couple of us go and buy the hotel rooms. We don't need all of us. The rest of you can go do whatever. I'll reserve under the name Chronos" she said referring to her own father." and you can get your card keys when you come back alright? Everyone alright with that?" She pffered. She honestly diodn't want anymore conflicts. She turned back to the group taking in the faces. This was going to be hard, very hard, but they would all have to deal. |

![]() Athena Location: Leaving Group to Go Shopping Athena sighed at Ares restlessness. The one thing that made her any different from her fellow warrior god was her ability to reason much more rationally than him. To fight here meant to be caught. To be caught meant to be stuck in a human jail with no help from Zeus. She knew better than to anger her father any more by looking for a fight, though it was more in her nature to help in war- not start one. She was the wiser of the two war gods and definitely the more patient one. She looked over to where Demeter pointed and nodded. It seemed like it was a good enough hotel and should have enough rooms for them all, though some of them would have to share due to late notice booking. Well, Athena crossed her fingers she'd get a reasonable roommate. Meaning no Apollo to bug her in her sleep. "I believe I'll take up on the offer to do other things. I trust that you'll know what to do when booking the rooms. I'll be going to find more... suitable clothing for me," Athena said as she plucked at her shirt again. Sure, she couldn't do anything about her dainty exterior but she would get clothes to match her personality. Athena turned and left the group, wandering into the store she'd noticed before that contained leather jackets. |

Apollo leaned on a wall next to the group, starting to yawn; he was getting bored being with them. Looking around he couldn't help but want to walk off on his own and leave them behind but he knew that he would need them later. Looking from building to building, Face to face, New york was growing on him "ahhh such and ugly place could use my artistic touch! A place of imperfection that screams my name asking for help! this is something the heavens neveer could give one as I a chance to do!" speaking out loud not caring who heard him. Looking back at the other gods, thinking that he would have to share a room with one of them "as much as I wouldn't mind sharing a room with one, even a goddess but......" speaking to himself Apollo did need a place to stay but he didn't plan on hanging with the gods to much. He wanted to go look for a job but he stayed around to see how things go. noticing Athena wasn't with the group and also knowing it would be best to leave her be. Thinking to himself again, women popped into his head "I know there are far more women on this earth that haven't been touched so much, as the goddess Athena is" again a dumb idea popping into his head as he got a smile on his face. |

![]() Artemis Artemis had zone out again, trying to find the others. when ahe opened her eyes she saw that Ares and Aphrodite had arrived along with Demeter. She sighed and went back to trying to find the others. After she came back again, not finding any others she looked around. Athena had gone and Apollo was leaning on the wall, looking bored. She looked around her, letting her eyes take in the sights until she found something horribly to no end. "How could they do that to an animal, any animal." she said more to herself then anyone else, but she knew Apollo would say something. Artemis tried to ignore what she saw. but found it diffcult. She had seen animals kept in cages and being sold to people. It seemed like slavery to her. Artemis never wanted to see any animal as disrespeted as they one she had just seen. She was stunned and looked back again, unable to look away. |

![]() Athena Location: Shopping The smell in the store was sterile, something that unnerved Athena greatly. She was so used to being surrounded by the smells of nature, life, and clean air. Sterile may have been 'clean' but it was stiff and uncaring, similar to that of the leather the store carried. It was awkward to scan through clothing items when she was so used to just... wearing her armor. This material just wasn't up to par to what she'd had back at home, in the land of the gods. With a sigh, Athena left the store; Unsatisfied by what she saw. Scanning Times Square, she realized she'd have many options when looking for attire. Athena strolled over to a store, left, and then went into yet another. She weaved her way through each store- still unsatisfied until she finally stumbled upon a place with gladiator shoes. Now, this was where she'd find her clothing! Athena left the store an hour later with a smile on her face as she adjusted her new clothes upon her body. She had on a fake leather jacket, so Artemis didn't kill her in her sleep, as well as tough denim jeans, black gladiator shoes, and a gold flannel shirt (because the store keeper insisted upon a balance of tough and girly). Now, she felt more herself. |

Apollo still thinking of a dumb idea looked to see where his twin was. Noticing a look of discomfort on her face he walked over. Getting next to her he looked at her eye's following them to a pet store "aah so this is what keeps her still" thinking to himself. He was trying to think of something to say but he couldn't think of anything since his head ws still full of a dumb idea that might get him killed. Finally putting his arm around her shoulders and leaning on Artemis "so sister does it bug you that much?" lnowing well that it did but he likes to poke around with people. feeling like poking even more into her mind he thought it would be funny but for once he also thought it might be mean, but he still spoke "you know its always been in human nature to make animals slaves or play things. Some even go as far as......" he stopped there knowing what he was about to say something dumb. "well Artemis its not all bad that they take these animals and bring them home to their loved ones and make them a part of the family. Tis such a marvelous and splendid site when they bring such beast into their home and make them family" trying to calm her down and not make her mad anymore. Removing his arm "just relax nothing you can do, they are only in cages nothing bad happens to them" Apollo figures this won't help but its worth a try. Edited by Enja, July 25, 2010, 8:34 pm.

![]() Artemis "I know that you may be right for once, but it still bothers me." Artemis sighed and leaned her head into her brothers shoulder. She knew that he had a point, but for some reason didn't believe him that what he said always happened. "I can feel some of their intentions, and its horrible. They would beat them just because they aren't human. How could they possibly treat an animal so horribly. I can't stand it." Artemis knew she needed to get away from the store, but couldn't make herself. She hoped that Apollo could tell that much. She closed her eyes and moved closer to Apollo. It was a childish thing to do, but she needed it. They had always been close, able to tell what the other needed in moments. She wasn't sure if she wanted to be too far away from her twin for the rest of the day, just to get used to the area. |

![]() Aphrodite looked around for a store that would fit her style. She finally saw a store full of bright colors and tight dresses. She went inside to look around. Then she saw it, a form fitting red dress. It was perfect, She took it off the rack, and because she didn't really know human sizes, she had to try it on. 10 minutes later she left the store, wearing the dress, to meet the other gods. She went back to the hotel and looked around. |

Demeter sighed. She watched them all leave. Shaking her head she started down the street. She came up to the hotel and walked through the front doors. She walked up the the main desk and gave her motherly gentle smile to the man before her. After a few minutes she had their rooms book and was upstairs. She sighed as she hung a curtain in the window. Befoe that though she was sure to paint the symbol of Olymus on it. She pulled the wheat shaft out of her hair and sighed. This was going to be really dull. She walked over to a differant window and oppened it fully. Sitting on the sill she began watching the people below, scanning for the others. |

![]() Athena Location: Shopping Athena shrugged, getting the jacket to feel just right before starting down the sidewalk again. This time, she felt much better in her skin and blended into the crowd fairly well. Some people looked at her with little smiles as if she were cute. Oh, this was going to be a challenge for her pride. "Now, where is that hotel," Athena mumbled to herself as she scanned both sides of the busy road for the place Demeter had pointed out beforehand. Soon, her eyes landed on the familiar looking doors of the hotel, Hilton, and started to walk across the street. There was an obnoxious honking and quickly she hopped back onto the sidewalk. Athena had almost forgotten about the cars commuting there. Oops. Rolling her eyes, Athena walked over to where there was a small crowd of people, waiting to cross. She tapped her left foot impatiently until finally, the image changed from a red upheld hand to a white walking stick figure. Athena quickly walked across, not wanting her life to end at the hands of one of the impatient taxis that wanted to run their red light. Now, that would've just been a horrible death for someone who was supposed to be immortal. Reaching the hotel, Athena walked in and asked the clerk for the room number of Demeter, using the name Chronos. |

Apollo was no longer smiling, he hated it when Artemis was feeling unhappy. Putting his arm around her one more time "don't worry sister, this is something that can't be helped." he could only sense every negative feeling she had at the moment. Turning around with her; he decided that it would be best to go and find the hotel Demeter told them all about. Apollo lost all bad thoughts, he didn't care about anything but trying to make his sister happy again. "hey Artemis how about we find where we are staying then after that we can find something to take your mind off such troubled things?" Apollo wasn't really good at finding things to do that didn't mean destroying something or hitting on a girl. Removing his arm from around her, he stood infront of Artemis and put his hand on her face "just try and relax, we are down in a hell now and we all find something that will make us unhappy at times. But its best for us to keep are heads up and keep a smile on your face" for once he was really trying to do something out the good of his heart. But since it was Artemis he was more then happy to do just that. |

![]() Artemis "Thanks bro." Artemis smiled up at hi, gla that he was pushing her away from the store. "I'm just not used to it. You know I prefer the woods to anything else." She checked them in, under the name Chronos and got the key cards. She put on in her poket and handed Apollo the other. She leaned against hm again, pulling him back outside. She hating being indoors and needed to move around. Artemis took Apollo's hand and started walking in a random direction. She wasn't sure what to do or where to go. "Any ideas on what to do? And please don't say anything relating to girls." |

Apollo looked back, noticing Athena standing at the front desk "well there goes that plan" thinking to himself. He was paying attention to Artemis pulling him outside. When he finally came out of his own world he looked around "wait when did i get out here?" not sure what was going on. He then felt someone one one his arm "wow weird i forgot she was next to me" letting out a little chuckle. Artemis started pulling him off somewhere but that somewhere was anywhere it would seem. His sister asked him what he wanted to do, but she said anything but girls "well there goes the whole day" Apollo couldn't really think of anything at the time. Finally stopping Artemis from pulling him and walking next to her, Apollo looked at her eye;s "I'm not sure what we should do truth be told" trying to think but he was still kind of in his own mind. He looked around trying to think if something but nothing came to mind "Artemis i truly don't know what we could do, i leave that choice up to you" smiling he was willing to do anything she wanted to do. |

![]() Artemis "We could reak massive havoc" Artemis gave him a devilish smile. She really had no idea either, but she didn't want to be left alone here like the others. She was used to being around creatures that would do as she asked if she was nice to them. Artemis really wanted to go out of the city and find some sort of wooded area where she and her twin could be alone for a while. She hated most human companionship, other then her brother. She turned around and saw a dog on a leash, being pulled by a man. She geasped and got angry, her hands curling into fists. It took everything in her to let the man walk away. I hope that dog bites him. Artemis placed her head on her brothers shoulder, trying to get rid of the feeling the sight had given her. |

Apollo laughed when she gave him a hint at chaos "that could always be fun" he wasn't sure at all what he could do with his sister hanging on him. He wanted to help her get comfortable hanging aorund the city, but with all these animals around getting harmed and in her eye's abused. He thought hard and tried to come up with something that would please her "hey what do you think if we go sit at one of those parks that have animals running all around us. But we might see humans with their animals there" Apollo was at a lose with her. It was going to be hard to do anything unless they go into a building that doesn't let animals in, but he knows she wants to be around woods, but it being New York it's going to be really hard to find woods. "well what if we go to a museum? it has art, and no animals allowed inside. Sadly we will be around people, but i'll stay by you're side if you want that" Grinding his teeth knowing he won't be able to flirt with any girls but he really wants to make his sister happy. "tis the day i allow someone to hold me down, twas the day i did what i wish" thinkingto himself, woundering and hoping his sister said yeah to the idea. |

Artemis wasn't sure what to do, and she knew what would happen if Apollo wasn't nearby. She would en up in jail and nobody had a phone of any sort. "I got an idea. How much money do you have in your pocket?" Atremis reached into her pocket and pulled out some money, almost $200. She knew what she wanted to do, but she needed him to go along with her plan. |

Apollo laughed "so you would really do something like that if i was gone?" kind of thinking how things would play out if he was to leave her. But he didn't want to do that so he stayed. When Artemis asked him how much money was in his pocket, he reached in his pocket to see "hmm it would seem father gave me $100...... figures" he was wondering what she was thinking. Looking at his money then back at her he couldn't help but ask "so what do you have planned?" he was hoping it was something good and not a waste of time. |

![]() Artemis Atremis smiled and grabbed his shoulders, turning him to face a woman talking on a cell phone. "I was thinking we get one each so that we can keep in touch." She knew that it would end up only being the two of them with cell phones, but then they could go off and still be able to keep in touch. "It kinda sounds stupid, doesn't it? But I don't care, it's worth the money and if we convinced the others, then it would matter where we are." She oved over and next to Apollo and pointed at a Verizon store. "That seems like a place we could get them." |

![]() Athena Location: Walking Around Time Square Athena eyed as the twins came up to the counter and just walked off without even acknowledging her. Well, Apollo did but wouldn't he always acknowledge a lady? She rolled her eyes and tucked the room key into her pocket before leaving a few feet apart from them. Artemis didn't seem to be in a very good mood so she wouldn't bother asking her about it right now. Instead, she found herself turning in the opposite direction of the two and wandering around. Athena pulled out the map she'd found in the tourist section of the hotel, using it as a way of navigation through this man-made jungle. She figured she'd try to find the park Aros had appeared in where the protestors had been. She attempted not to appear too much like a tourist by avoiding looking at the map as much as possible. It didn't much work since she had to keep looking at it since she was somewhat lost. Finally, Athena ended up at the park and sighed in relief. It was much more open and full of nature. She was done with the sky scrapers from Hades and the waves of people. Central Park was much more... free. |

Apollo juggled the idea of having a phone in his head, it sounded like a very good idea and he couldn't think of nay down side to having one. Looking at the store he figured that they should get these phones "now now sister this doesn't sound stupid. It was a really good idea" he knows that Artemis still doesn't want to leave his side and he isn't bothered by that anymore. But if it happens he wants to get a phone for her. Apollo grabbed artemis by her hand and pulled her across the street over to the verizon store. "so if you really want to spend you're money on this then i'll give you my money also, just so you could do what you must" he smiled as he grabbed the door and held the door open for Artemis.

![]() Artemis "I think we both should get them. What's the point if it is only me with a phone?" Artemis started looking at some of the phones, keeping Apollo near her. She was browsing through them when an employee asked her if she needed help. She told him that she wanted two phones, one for each of them. The man came with what she was looking for. Artemis paid for the phone, using $150 of her money. As the walked out of the store, Artemis put her number in her brother's phone and vice versa. "There, now we can contact each other when we need to." 631-994-6665 I need to remeber that as my number |
