Milk and honey with it... [ She trails off with a hum as she goes to sort through the cabinet. She's not kidding when she says she has quite the variety. After a few moments, she decides to just go with a classic black tea. Something that won't fight with the flavors of the cake. ]
I suppose you're in luck that I keep bees. I always have honey ready. At least, now she does. [ Prior to moving out of the apartments, she didn't have anywhere to keep her bees. ]
[That gets Airy to straighten, having seated herself back on her heels. Gods are nothing new to her, being the spawn of the God of Destruction herself. How curious.]
I-I see...I didn't realize I was in the presence of a Goddess.
[Airy may be a menace and a destroyer of worlds, but she knows how to respect her (assumed) superiors.]
[ It probably helps that her mother raised her in a way that could only be described as a god trying to raise a mortal. That is to say, she was never really given the chance to be a true goddess. Always told to hide the true extent of her abilities and do things her mother's way. ]
Indeed, we are. [ She sighs.
A few moments later she returns to the table with a tray laden with all they need for tea. ]
Oh! I have some shot glasses. [ She sets everything down and goes to locate one. ]
I'll have to find some cups and whatnot in your size to keep around for visits.
[ She smiles as she returns and fills the glass with tea for Airy. Not too full since she still has milk and honey to add to it. Once it's prepared she sets it next to Airy's plate. ]
[She leans over to blow at the glass, not moving to grab it just yet. She'll let it cool a bit for now. The main reason she came here was for the cake so that's got her attention more than anything.]
[ She's quiet for a moment, turning over the bit about Airy having nowhere else to go other than here. There are a few things those words can mean, though in her experience it means she's either dead or her world is simply gone. ]
I see. I'm also surprised I've been away from home as long as I have. Before this place, I spent half a year in another world.
[Dimension hopping and time travel shenanigans aren't new to Airy in any capacity. Still, she can't help but be curious about what world (or worlds) others may have come from.]
What was it like compared to what you were used to?
[ She bobs her head in a nod after a bite of cake. ]
Very different. The world was more futuristic than here though no less obsessed with sex. It was more colorful, this place is so deary in comparison. [ She sighs. ]
The weirdest thing about it was that we were tied to one of the three moons and would change every month when the moon was full. Physical and mental transformations that some might liken to, what were they again, werewolves? Though a wolf was only one transformation.
I preferred it there. [ If she's being honest. ] While the changes also brought about a desire to be close to others, sex wasn't demanded of us. We weren't given the limits we're given here based on an arbitrary system of who is a Dominant and who is a Submissive. And, obviously, the need of contracts didn't exist.
Not to mention, we weren't essentially trapped in a single city. There was much more to see and do.
I often wonder why they made it mandatory after graduation. It wasn't until all of that mess in the Down. It was the one thing I was looking forward to.
[ She sighs and picks a little at her cake with her fork before finally taking another bite. ]
I suppose there is still a lot to see, but that doesn't change the fact that we can't really leave.
It would. [ She sighs. She doesn't mind sex so much anymore, but the fact that she has to set aside time to ensure she meets quota is annoying. ]
I often wonder the same. Perhaps some manner of curse? There is clearly some kind of magic in this place, even if the average person doesn't have any way of utilizing it.

Is it difficult?

Date: 2022-01-16 11:05 pm (UTC)[ She flashes a smile as she goes about preparing the tea. ]
Not really, then again I am the Goddess of Spring and can create bees. They're almost like an extension of myself.

It's not really a big deal, especially here. This place has no use for me beyond the purpose of us all being here.

Date: 2022-02-07 10:06 pm (UTC)[There's a small sigh out of her as she reaches with her little fork to chip off a bit of the cake.]
I suppose I can't complain, seeing as I've nowhere else to go rather than this dimension, but I'm surprised I've been here for as long as I have.

Date: 2022-02-08 10:07 pm (UTC)[That's, uh, unexpected for a few reasons. As far as Airy's concerned this is incredibly futuristic. What could possibly qualify as more?]
That does sound strange. Did it also affect you as well?
[She expects it would've and she can't help but be curious as to what Persephone would've transformed into.]

I often ended up with very fluffy hair and sheepy ears and tail. Small horns too. It was pretty cute.

That does sound cute...if not interesting.
[Or, y'know, weird.]

I wonder how we're all being kept here. It must be some sort of magic, although if it is it's completely foreign to me.
