[IC] Becoming a God

[Zerofighter]

Orion watched asthe girl went behind a tree to change itno the dress. He turned away so it wouldnt seem like he was looking. When she came back, another small laugh almost escaped his mouth. The dress obviously needed someone with a bigger...chest area and Elysia didnt have it. But the dress still looked nice on her. Orion stretched getting ready for whatever they had to do. "Yea...you and me both." Orion said to Elysia.

As the black-haired girl ducked behind the tree and began changing into the sundress. Melaina simply stared at the tree, seeing an only arm or a leg at the most. She repeatedly tapped her foot, sighing. Everything about her in that moment seemed like a child being told to wait a minute to open a present; impatient, but in an excited, positive way. As soon as Elysia made her back to the group, Melaina launched herself towards the back part of girl's hair. She unwrapped the ribbon from her hand and pulled most of the hair into a ponytail with her free hand. She then wrapped the ribbon around the base of her hair and tied it into a fashionable bow. She then stepped in front of her and pulled two strands of hair so they were hanging at the sides of her face, as if framing her features. She then a gave a small nod. "What do ya think, Ory?" She said, already giving the boy a pet name. "Is it good enough for now? You know, until I actually take her shopping."

Griffin was shocked by the woman changin behind a tree. Someone had no shame. The tree might hide her from most of the crowd but it didn't hide her from everyone. He had no problem looking. If she was going to flaunt what she had then he was going to look at it. He wasn't going to respect someone who had no respectfor tgemselves. He ignored the announcers botherings. He didn't care about the details. He just wanted to know the rules.

A warm hue of rose tinted the pale white of her cheeks, bashly the girl fiddling with the straps of the dress, yet they kept slipping still. "It's...a little too...oversized." Elysia stated, her voice soft but with a timid vernacular. It wasn't her style, but she would adapt to it....for now.

"I suppose this will do until I can find more appropriate attire for this dreadful heat." She sighed wiping sweat from her brow. Without warning, without a single notice of her moving so swift, the girl was on her grabbing Elysia by her long locks, wrenching it rather tight to elicit a surprised whimper as she tied Elysia's hair into a ponytail with some sort of ribbon. Then, she stood back, a last minute touch by fixing a few of Elysia's bangs, before Melaina marveled at her handiwork.

The goth stood silent, blinking a few times before her lips parted, "That was a little unnecessary honestly." Her expression demure, she sighed bothersome and let her arms dangle at her sides, unfortunately giving no heed....to the dress slipping down a little too far. "Oh my!" Suddenly she gasped, eyes wide and cheeks blazing red, coyly clasping her arms around herself as the dress fell down with no time to catch it, revealing more than a generous peek at her endowments. Thank Hecate she was wearing a pair of black lace panties underneath, but incredibly mortifying nonetheless.

She had just hoped no one had seen anything.

[Zerofighter]

Orion watched as Melanie just started doing the girl's hair. It surprised him how energetic she was. Almost like a childlike. He watched as she made Elysia's hair nice. He then noticed the nickname she gave him. He never had one before. Orion felt a small blush come to his cheeks. Something that never happened to him before. Elysia looked beautiful. Orion was never asked to give a gil a compliment. He tried it once as a kid, and got jumped by bullies. "I..welll umm..she looks ni0" Before he could give a anwser, Elysia's dress fell a bit to far. Orion froze seeing what she had on underneath. "I..I didnt see anything!" Orion said his face brighter then before. His heat pounding in his chest.

"Of course it was nec-" She said, her words cut off by Elysia's little wardrobe malfunction. Melaina's cheeks turned just as red as Elysia's as she gazed at the girl's practically clotheless body, her mouth opened agape and her eyes wide, traveling up and down her body. While Elysia didn't have the curves that Melaina so proudly sported, she wasn't too bad looking. Her body was attractively pale, and her skin looked fairly smooth and untouched by sunlight.

Melaina doubled over a few times, before actually seeing the panties the girl wore. Almost instantly, the blush and shocked expression were gone, replaced by an excited smile and wide eyes. She fell to her knees, and began inspecting the undergarments more thoroughly, her face only about a foot from them. "Oh my! what cute panties! No offense, but seems like your sense of underwear is better than your sense of clothes! Seriously, you should walk around in your underwear everyday! Actually, don't do that. It's called indecent exposure, and I guess it's illegal. If the cops see you, they take you into the station and from there it's anything but fun. Not that I've had experience with indecent exposure...Oh! You probably want me to pull the dress up, huh?" She said, before grabbing the sundres and pulling it up her body, resting the straps once again on the shoulders. "Also," she began, opening the suitcase once again and pulling out the first bra she found. It was white and fairly pretty, but didn't really go with the panties. Still, she held the bra out to Elysia, a kind smile on her face. "you might want to wear this. With a little stuffing, it should stop that problem from happening again. Not to mention the fact that you could use a bra."

"Jesus F-in Christ!!! What are those guys doin? Are we shooting a porno???!!!" Martin thinks to himself as he caught a glance of that unneccessary skin exposure from the party outside the cemetery.

"Alright! Where's the guy in charge here!?" Martin shouts, particularly at no one, impatiently.

@Framing A Moose@Zerofighter@jog1118

The embarrassment of her partially nude figure being oggled at by eyes everywhere was one thing, but to have the girl complimenting her on her underwear...well...honestly Elysia had no words for that. Melaina was being sincere, yes, but to....compliment such things, it was baffling to the goth woman, glancing down at the girl admiring her panties with a perplexed look in her eyes, eyebrow cocked slightly. "D-do you mind?" She stuttered offguard inching away hesitant of the pink haired beauty. She would admit she didn't mind another girl admiring her natural beauty, especially one as stunning as Melaina, but not in such a public setting as this.

When Melaina offered to correct this grievous and unfortunate error, Elysia only nodded in quick response. She let her fix the dress back, making sure everything would stay still before offering a bra and some key advice on how to make sure that never happened again. Damned the woman be if it did, and not just in front of Melaina, but Orion and some other boy she had yet to notice.

The gesture was out of kindness, yet humbly Elysia refused lifting a hand to gently nudge the bra away, "No offense to you, Melaina, but I think I will change into something a little more....fitting." And with that she sauntered over to her suitcase, an odd black coffin shaped item of luggage that contained more of her macabre and morbid fashion sense. After unfastening the silver latches and prying it open, from it she garnished a simple black dress with a subtle rose print and a short jacket to match, returning behind the tree to change once more. Should any dare to peek...they would have trouble seeing for the rest of their miserable lives.

Once she was dressed, deciding to keep the ponytail and ribbon as she did find it to be endearing, she emerged from the tree with a sigh while straightening out her hair and dress, dusting herself off afterwards and addressing them all, "Now then...sorry to ruin your peep-show, bambini, but I'm not too keen on parading about in my skivvies, despite how enticing that may be to some." At this a cheeky, subtle motion of her eyes towards the pink haired girl beside her, albeit a rather lurid glance admiring the curves of a true goddess. She wasn't lying when she said Melaina was a ray of sunshine. She then turned to the new one, the boy, and pointed an index finger to the announcer, "I do believe the person you are looking for, signore, is him."

The hot weather did little to the two, as born and raised within the heats of Egypt. Plus, the cold A.C helped for the most part to endure the humid heat. As the siblings exited from the red '60 buick, which they had manged to steal from another was enough to start a confrontation. And, the heated cuss words from inside the buick, had managed to confirm the beginning of an all off war.

The other driver exited the driver's seat with a angry expression covered his face, marching to face the thief. With her backside rested against the car beside the passenger's side, Eshe stood with her eyes downcast, trying to figure out if she had left anything behind, paying little mind to the ongoing fight until...

" Geb, do not-"

Before she could utter a word of protest and without so much as a sound. The hot-tempered brute let his fist connected into the other unexpected driver's face. By this time, a young woman had shrieked as Geb and the driver had managed to fall to the ground. People had formed a ring around the two in conflict. Some looking on worryingly, others cheering them on. Still others ignored them and went about their own business.

Geb has always been a angry child, if a bit standoffish individual preferring to fight over interaction. However, do not be fool he is over-protecting to those that matters. The dark Egyptian has a special case of self adoration, thinking of himself as he untouchable person which often gets him in trouble.

The scathing look she focused on her brother was one she used on him often but this time, Eshe held her sluggish pace as she went to fetch her luggage from the trunk.

Today, was going to be a long one after all.

Orion could tell that Elysia was embaressed, and Melanie wasnt really helping, but she did try to help at least. Its the thought that counts I guess. Orion sighed and watched as Elysia went to change. "Well that was something.." He told Melanie as Elysia went to change. The dress she had on now looked much better then the last one. A small flush came to his face once more. "Wow...you look great." Then he froze, did he speak that outloud? What was he thinking?!

"Umm excuse me ladies. PLeasure to meet you both." Orion went back to his bike, red faced and sat down on the seat sighing. "Stupid.." He mumbled to himself "You made yourself look like a total idiot."

"There will be several quest that you need to accomplish in order to earn the right to become the god or goddess that you chose when you register. You can do these quest alone. But we encourage you to work together. Eventually you will have to so you might as well start now. The first quest is finding, capturing, and taming the animal you have chosen to represent you." The announcer explained.

[Framing A Moose]

By the time the announcer was finished speaking, Melaina's eyes were already seemingly shining, the corners of her open mouth curling upwards, forming a smile that showed the inside of her entire mouth. "OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!! I'M GETTING A SWAN!!!! IT WILL BE MY BEST FRIEND AND I WILL LOVE IT FOREVER!!!! I WILL NAME IT LALUULUU!!!!!!" Melaina yelled excitedly, using her arms to cradle the sundress Elysia had been wearing, staring at it as if it were the swan itself. She was swinging it back and forth far faster and rougher than an actual animal should be treated, but she didn't seem to realize that. Suddenly she looked up from the wadded up dress and jabbed a finger in Elysia's direction. "And you are going to help me! But first, we must make a stop!" Her smile didn't seem to waver for even a moment.

She had hoped she hadn't offended Orion in some way, seeing how quick he was to dismiss himself and return to his motorcycle, but further analysis seemed to show Elysia that it was....something else that had perturbed the boy. As to what, she wasn't so sure of.

"...So I'm to capture a raven. That shouldn't be too difficult, though it isn't the sort of challenge I was expecting in choosing those worthy to usurp the thrones of the divines." Elysia mused with her arms crossed, a bored look to her face aimed at the announcer. A wild goose chase, that was their challenge? What were they? Children? Well...some certainly acted that way.

Confused she was observing the pink haired beauty twirling about so fancifully, so full of glee and good cheer as she danced with the inanimate sundress Elysia recently returned. To be so excited about capturing a wild animal, it was rather queer to the woman, raising an eyebrow puzzled by the spectacle, even more puzzled when Melaina pointed a finger to her proclaiming she was going to aid the girl in this....for lack of a better word, stupid endeavor. And a stop? But where?

"I'm afraid we won't have much time for that, bella." She stated blunt, expression unwavering. "There will be time later for tomfoolery, I'm certain, but for now we will have to focus on the task at hand." Leave it to the dark and brooding goth to be the only voice of reason. Something told Elysia this was going to be an experience without forgetting.

"Ok this is challenging." Martin sarcastically mutters to himself.

"Ants are impressive insects...", Martin recalls as he browses his notes on his smartfone:
1. highly organised colonies that may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals
2. The colonies are called superorganisms because the ants operate as a unified entity, collectively working together to support the colony
3. Ants have colonised almost every landmass on Earth
4. Ant societies have division of labour, communication between individuals, and an ability to solve complex problems
5. Ant colonies parallel with human societies

"Nowadays i doubt # 5 already...the ants are probably better than us humans" Martin contemplates.

"But to capture and tame an ant? Capturing one will be easy...but taming it?" Martin shakes his head unbelievingly.

"I'm gonna find me an anthill...anyone wanna team-up?" Martin asks the gathering nonchalantly.

[Zerofighter]

Orion listened to the annnoucer say how they had to catch a animal. This task was to easy for someone trying to become a dog. But decided to make it a challenge by catching a wolf. He then heard the announcer say how they could work together. He bit his lip and walked over to the two women. He bit his lip and asked "Hey sense he said we should work together, how about we do this as a team? Sense we already know each other well." Orion then held out his hand "So what do you say?" He asked Melanie and Elysia

"Ok. Mr. Playboy is bent on going with Barbie Doll and Lady Death" Martin thinks quietly @Zerofighter @Rusalka @Framing A Moose

"The newcomers look like they're a pair already" Martin notices the apparent siblings @TheWildBunnii

"Hey silent-type...you look goal-oriented. Wanna team-up?" Martin addresses the grim looking guy @KatherinWinter

@jog1118

Griffin watched the others pair up. He debated whether he wanted to pair up or not. On one hand it would be good to have someone that might have different knowledge then he did. But he wasn't exactly a people person. Still he wasn't completely oppose to the idea. He was still considering the pros and cons of working with others when another man approached. He studied the man thoughtfully before nodding. "Sure. My name is Griffin. Yours?

[jog1118]

"Martin." Martin replied to Griffin.

"So what's your animal, Griffin?" @KatherinWinter

[Framing A Moose]

The finger that had been pointing at Elysian changed position into a thumbs up. "Sounds like a plan! I've just got to go put my stuff to my hotel room. We'll meet back here in fifteen minutes!" She said, before spinning around and running away from the spot. On her way, she passed Orion, the boy from earlier. She didn't stop to talk to him, but simply said, "Hey Ory!" and was off before Orion began speaking. Right before she ran out of their line of sight, she raised her fist and yelled, "Long live Team Melysia!" and just like that, she disappeared around a corner.

Truth be told, Melaina hadn't actually booked a hotel room, but she had a feeling she could find some room somewhere. So she picked a hotel at random. It was a fairly nice hotel, but the lobby was empty, with the exception of a Hispanic woman, probably in her forties, sitting behind the front desk. Little did Melaina know that the woman did not in fact work at the front desk. She was a maid. You see, the man who usually worked at the front desk had to leave. His wife had just gone into labor, and he didn't have time to find anyone to properly fill in for him, so he asked one of the members of the cleaning staff. He assumed that since everyone was either in the hotel already or were busy with some wild task the God-Making Committee would have them do. But Melaina had no way of knowing this.

She sauntered up to the front desk and rung the little bell on the desk counter, which was usually used to get the desk keepers attention if they were in the back room, but only earned a confused and concerned look from the woman already sitting there. "Sorry, I just love those. Anyway, do you have any rooms available?" she said perkily. The Hispanic woman's expression remained confused. "Eh, señorita lo siento, pero yo no trabajo aquí." Melaina cocked her head to the side a bit. "Um...is that a yes?" She replied. "Bueno, yo trabajo en este hotel, pero por lo general estoy limpiando la mierda." Melaina's face got even more confused and a little defeated. "Um, do you speak English? Englioso?" Melaina asked, guessing the Spanish term for English. "El jefe hizo dame esto. No estoy seguro de qué hacer con él. Aquí." The woman then handed Melaina a book with people's names as well as their room number. The bad news was the place looked full. The good news hit when she was scanning through the names. Her defeated expression left as soon as she saw the name, leaving only a grin and wide eyes in its wake. She didn't even bother looking at the last name. "Elysia!" She said, sliding the book around to show the desk maid. "She's my friend! I think I'll take the key to that room!" She tapped the room number next to Elysia's name: 254. The Hispanic woman grunted as she stood up, then pulled a key out of the number's box, leaving only one other key in there. She held it out to Melaina. Melaina grabbed it out of her hands and marched towards the door to the stairwell, pulling the suitcase along with her. The Hispanic woman sighed. "Extraño a la mierda."

It didn't take long for Melaina to find her room, even if the trip up the stairs was difficult. When she did, she entered it, greeted by a fairly nice room. She pulled the suitcase towards a king-sized bed near the center of the room. What she failed to notice was that this was the only bed in the room. She then pulled the suitcase onto the bed and opening it. She continued to go through her clothing, setting out clothes that might be cute for a swan chase.

@jog1118
Griffin knew he was a man of few words. He had a feeling that Martin might be the same way. Which was weird. He wasn't used to having things in common with him. He studied the other man carefully. He looked like the kind of man who knew who and what he was. "The animal I want to claim for myself isn't one we can find here. I would like to have a hawk. What about you?"
