Cherubplay

I stared at the arrow and began shaking. Oh /my god/. We could have died. Is that a hunter? Oh god. "W-w-we have to g-go, Ivory--" I tried to get my breathing under control enough to pull her away.

●

Holy shit. /The fuck?/ Ivory looked towards the source, and saw two women at the treeline. A dirty blond woman waved to her. "OI! SORRY IF I SCARED YA!" She called out. "GUPPY HERE JUST LOST A BET!"

2016-05-30 10:36:51

🌀

Who is-- guppy? Wh-what? "That was amazing, miss Athena!" called another voice, this one male, and I could hear applause from just behind the trees.

2016-05-30 10:40:01

●

"ARCTIC! YOU GOT AN APPLE?"

Ivory looked to Seculus. "Are you okay?"

2016-05-30 10:41:25

🌀

"Um, no! I can probably find one, though! Hold on!" He rustled away into the woods, presumably to find a fruit. "I-I....I don't know...what's going /on/? Were they...trying to shoot at us?"

2016-05-30 10:42:56

●

"I don't know?"

A tall woman with snow blonde hair had made her way over to the two of them, pulling the arrow out of the park bench. Her clothes were almost as white as the snow that could fall any week now. "Sorry if my friend gave you a startle." she looked at them, then examined the arrow with her pale gray eyes. "She can be a bit reckless sometimes, but she means no harm."

2016-05-30 10:48:43

🌀

...she was nearly blinding in the almost complete darkness. She reminded me of Galadriel. "...um...i-it's alright, I suppose, but....who are you, then?"

2016-05-30 10:50:17

●

"Agape."

"Guppy" A just as tall dirty blonde and steel dressed in a greek styled off shouldered dressed moved behind her. "Who are you talking to?"

2016-05-30 10:54:45

🌀

I blinked. ".....are you.....cosplayers?"

2016-05-30 10:56:06

●

"Cosplayers?" Agape blinked in confusion.

2016-05-30 10:57:59

🌀

"Where you.....put on costumes, of fictional characters, for fun....." ....it looks as if we're at a complete misunderstanding.

2016-05-30 10:58:32

●

"Fictional characters....we-"

"Hold on." The dirty blond woman held up her hand. "Names. Both of you. You know ours but we don't know yours."

2016-05-30 10:59:18

🌀

".....but we don't even know........uh.....I-I'm Seculus, this is Ivory."

2016-05-30 11:00:08

●

Athena stopped. "Wait... you don't mean...?"

Agape held Ivory's face to look at her better. "She's got her chin." Then Seculus's. "And his eyes. Yes. /Yes it's them!/" She was practically jumping for joy.

"Do we...know you?"

2016-05-30 11:01:48

🌀

I jolted back from the stranger's touch. "....what about my eyes? What...?" Why was she so excited...?

2016-05-30 11:02:40

●

Agape started to giggled madly. "Oh, sorry! I'm so sorry! I forgot to say. Athena is well, you know, goddess of battle strategy, war, and being reckless."

"/HEY!/"

"And I'm Agape, Goddess of unconditional love. You're Seculus, the patient and kind angel in a pact with Ivory, the stubborn and polyamorous the vampire. I'm sorta you know, a matchmaker a bit. " She was extremely giddy just explaining this. "Well, not entirely. Destiny is in people's hands. But you two. You two I've marked as soulmates since the day Seth was born. And, not to brag, but you two are the best people I've put together since Narcissism and himself!"

...Wait.. what? Just happened?

2016-05-30 11:08:06

🌀

I just stared at her silently. She....knows that much about us. Since /Seth/ was born? ......I'm....confused. Soulmates....? Is it really...../that/ great....?

2016-05-30 11:12:12

●

"Look what you did now, Guppy. You lost them."

"I'm sorrrry! This is just so great I finally get to /meet/ them."

"Wait..." Ivory spoke. "So you're actually legitimate Goddesses?" There's no way they could have known all that without being ones.

"Yes." Athena answered.

"...I owe Lance fifty dollars." She blinked.

2016-05-30 11:13:55

🌀

I glanced at her. "You took a bet with him about /this/? Really?" Also, she's...acting like we're celebrities or something. There was more rustling and a slim man in a long, dark coat and newsboy cap pulled down over blue-tinted, wispy white hair, ran out of the forest, clutching a living bird in one hand. "I found an apple!" It chirped with indignity, but not pain, and he looked at it more closely with wonderstruck sea-green eyes.

2016-05-30 11:17:48

●

"Okay, hold it on your head." Athena drew another arrow from her quiver.

"Not /this/ just...if polytheism was a real thing."

"Oh it is honey, there's more of us. Anyways, enough about me. I wanna know about you. Are you two living together yet? Children?"

2016-05-30 11:19:39

🌀

He set it on top of his hat and it got up and flew away. I tore my eyes away from this sight to look back at....Agape? ...wait. Ivory's right. Did Anndrea win that conversation? "....I mean....no....we /can't/ have children, she's a vampire, that's not how that...."

2016-05-30 11:21:02

●

She knocked the arrow, pulled back, and WHOOSH! The arrow went right through the 'apple.'

"Well there's always adoption. What about beds. Who is the big and little spoon?"

"Uh..."

2016-05-30 11:22:08

🌀

He turned and watched it fall to the ground, dead and bleeding. "Oh no." I flinched and stared at Agape again, not wanting to look at the dead animal. "....not....a thing...really....." I glanced back to see 'Arctic' holding an annoyed, but fully breathing bird. His coat was blown aloft, and I smelt a slight salt breeze. ....oh.

2016-05-30 11:28:06

●

"Again with that? It's fucking November! Poseidon is going to rip that off you!"

"Okay, okay. What about sex? Have you two too talked about that."

Ivory's cheeks went pink. "Well ummm..."

2016-05-30 11:31:02

🌀

".....no....it's a bit....complicated...." "Why would he do that? It's dramatic!" He spun in a circle and it blew around him some more. The bird flew off.
