The Centaurs had grabbed a hold of Andrew and were in the process of carrying him off... instead of Lexi. A stare-down happened and we managed to get them to release Andrew without undue bloodshed. I only stayed my ax because we're in someone else's place.
The party resumed with minimal fuss and that's when Eris showed up. Claire and I dug her greek/punk fusion, but then she opened her damn mouth. Oh, she's a bitch who likes to cause trouble. I overheard something about the Centaurs being because of her. Then, when Lexi tried to smooth things over, she started taking jabs at her. I made a snide comment, but generally let Lexi handle things. Which got smoothed over so well, I ended up making a pass at Eris. In retrospect, that was pretty weird of me.
Things settled back in and I chatted up this cute scion of Susano-o, named Yukiko. Then important people started arriving. Hera arrived, Aphrodite made her grand appearance (I thought I knew what hotness was, having been around Lexi, but wow.... I mean... wow....), then Apollo and Artemis arrived. I was giddy to see Artemis for the first time!
Claire and I went over to speak with her when she made a point of not mingling, instead opting to chat with the nerieds out in the pool. Claire and I sat down to chat, though it seemed like Claire had more questions than I did. Claire had seen Artemis in her visions at the Temple and was confirming that it was really a manifestation of her insecurity.
We chatted some more and Artemis warned us that we should avoid getting involved in Aphrodite's affairs/schemes. She didn't appreciate my joke about getting involved "even for a couple of hours". It was just a joke. You think I'm going to roll around in bed with my friend's mom? Seriously? You go for a cousin or maybe a really hot sibling, but never a mom!
