Heart soul and memory 3 (Revenge of the Past)

[Zevox]

Sorry. All new outfits I meant. Ophelia replied facepalming.

Alice giggled. "That's okay. And I'm with you - especially if it means I get to see you in a few of them," she responded flirtatiously.

I will certainly give it a try. Ophelia promised.

[Esprit15]

Especially when it's put on a show please. Like when you're the host. Ophelia replied.

Athena chuckles, honestly this time. "Why do you think I don't host parties?"

[The TechnoGnome]

Ophelia red in the face, kisses you on the lips.

Seriously Emma...? She whispers as she does so.

Emma kissed back, channeling her magical blessing into Ophelia as she did so. The blessing didn't always work as she intended, but it usually did. Though she didn't usually kiss the receiver on the lips. It felt... nice.

Her cultists cheered as the two kissed, some more enthusiastically than others. In particular, her parents actually looked a bit conflicted for a few moments during the kiss itself, but shook it off before the others noticed.

"Sorry," Emma whispered back as the kiss ended, "I just got caught up in the celebration and the ceremony, and... I didn't really think about whether you wanted a blessing from a goddess you didn't worship. I know some religious people have problems with that, and I don't know what your parents are like."

[Illven]

Athena chuckles, honestly this time. "Why do you think I don't host parties?"

Really. Never? Not even birthdays? Ophelia remarked.

No the kiss. Ophelia remarked.

[The TechnoGnome]

No the kiss. Ophelia remarked.

"Oh, did I not do it right?" Emma asked.

[Esprit15]

"I haven't had anyone to invite until very recently," Athena says simply.

[Illven]

"Oh, did I not do it right?" Emma asked.

You... you kinda pressured me into doing it. Ophelia replied.

"I haven't had anyone to invite until very recently," Athena says simply.

And you never invited cousins or the like? Ophelia replied.

[The TechnoGnome]

You... you kinda pressured me into doing it. Ophelia replied.

"What?" Emma said with a frown, "I mean, I know I should have asked if it was okay sooner, but I did ask. You could have said no, I didn't order you to do it."

[Illven]

"What?" Emma said with a frown, "I mean, I know I should have asked if it was okay sooner, but I did ask. You could have said no, I didn't order you to do it."

Yeah... But I didn't want to disappoint you in front of all your followers...

[The TechnoGnome]

Yeah... But I didn't want to disappoint you in front of all your followers...

"Aww, that's so sweet of you! But I would've understood if you said no."

[Esprit15]

"They live out of state, and we aren't exactly close. They're just my parents' siblings' children as far as I'm concerned."

[Illven]

"Aww, that's so sweet of you! But I would've understood if you said no."

You... You would have? Ophelia points out.

"They live out of state, and we aren't exactly close. They're just my parents' siblings' children as far as I'm concerned."

Is that just because they are out of state? Ophelia comments?

[Esprit15]

Athena shrugs. "Maybe. We don't exactly have much in common, save for some genetics. We visit them for most Thanksgivings, and every few Christmases. I care about my immediate family because they raised me. My cousins just... exist."

[Illven]

So they aren't as smart as you? Ophelia questioned.

[Esprit15]

"They may or may not be. Our interests are different enough that it is difficult to tell. One, if I recall correctly, is more artistically minded. She may be intelligent, but it's a different form than mine. I am certainly the most technically minded of them, in regards to STEM fields. However, there is that gap - I enjoy numbers, one of them enjoy colors, another likes words. Each is a useful skill, and could be classified as intelligent."

[The TechnoGnome]

You... You would have? Ophelia points out.

"Yeah, probably," Emma said, "You're my friend, Ophelia. I wouldn't want to do something to you that would make you uncomfortable, just like you wouldn't want to do it to me."

[Illven]

And from what I read scientists and artist tend not to get along. Ophelia replied.

"Yeah, probably," Emma said, "You're my friend, Ophelia. I wouldn't want to do something to you that would make you uncomfortable, just like you wouldn't want to do it to me."

Okay... Just try not to put me on the spot again... Ophelia replies.

[Esprit15]

"No, we tend to not..." Athena says in agreement. "I prefer a world grounded in fact. One that is logical. Emotions..." she shakes her head, as if pushing out an unpleasant though. "They just distract and obfuscate."

[Illven]

"No, we tend to not..." Athena says in agreement. "I prefer a world grounded in fact. One that is logical. Emotions..." she shakes her head, as if pushing out an unpleasant though. "They just distract and obfuscate."

Yeah, I can understand that at times. Ophelia admits.

[Meriss]

... Well... Emma... I don't know... I just felt.... abit pressured you know. I like both... Ophelia replied.

Tachi fans himself with his elegant hand. "Ohoho my! You scalliwag you! Both, Ophelia dearest? Dish! Dish! So who's the hottest guy and girl in school? Have you had one of those dreams yet? Come on tell Uncle Tachi all about it."

Who knew an incubus could be such a teenage girl?

[Illven]

I... but... I... what. Gah? What? Ophelia replies started by all the questions.

[Esprit15]

Yeah, I can understand that at times. Ophelia admits.

"Hm... Not what I would expect from you. You always struck me as a more emotionally based person."

[Illven]

"Hm... Not what I would expect from you. You always struck me as a more emotionally based person."

Sure in most cases they are good. But at times. They can overwhelm reason, make us make bad decisions. Ophelia remarks.

Athena smiles. She may lean a little further than the other girl does, but she still fundamentally agrees. "Yeah... though... I've heard people in the hallways. A lot of them say that I'm cold, emotionless. That I'm weird. You don't think that, do you?"

[Illven]

I'm surprised you care what they think.... I mean they haven't turned hostile have they? Ophelia remarks.

[The TechnoGnome]

Okay... Just try not to put me on the spot again... Ophelia replies.

"Got it," Emma said with a smile, "So, what do you want to do now? I think my parents can handle the closing ceremony on their own, which frees me up to enjoy the party!"

Said parents kept glancing over at the pair of girls, apparently waiting for Ophelia's answer.

Want to go to the rest of the group? Ophelia asks.

[Zevox]

I will certainly give it a try. Ophelia promised.

"I'll hold you to that," Alice replied happily. "We'll have to find something hot for you... ooh, what about a dancer's outfit? Like the one I wore to the mall that one time?" she asked. "You liked that."

[The TechnoGnome]

Want to go to the rest of the group? Ophelia asks.

"Yeah!" Emma said with a smile, "Where are they?"
