Prescribed Recreation part 3: Chillax'n with a Vengeance

[fleurdesel]

Who: House 44, House 46, House 3, Saori, Steve Rogers, and whoever wanders in
What: Movie night on the beach
When: September 9th, in the evening
Where: The Beach
Summary: After an unfortunate tussle with a Chaos God, work on a farm, a swarm of refugees and stress piled upon stress, sometimes all anyone wants is to sit back and watch classic movies.
Rating: PG for possible adult language
Something that everyone could agree on was this: the past three weeks had been several shades of stressful. What they needed, what they all needed was something mindless and relaxing shared in the company of those they care for in a neutral environment. The beach works well enough, and it's not that far a trip for anyone involved.

Oh no I don't think you mentioned her b-before. [ Helios looks over at Saori with a smile. ] I-I see she, ah, sounds lovely. I-I wish I could meet her in person. [ Helios looks over with a quirked brow. ]

You...made her i-immortal? I-I never knew gods could do such a thing.

[windandrain]

Well...not all gods.

[She smiles sheepishly]

I struck a deal with Gama, the Lord of Longevity. He made her immortal. For me to do it myself, I would have to give up my own immortality.

[folklorist]

Gama, hm. I've heard of him but...I've never actually spoken with him before. It was...very kind of him to, ah, grant her that.

[ Helios isn't sure if he would ever accept such an offer himself, but different ideals for different people. ]

[windandrain]

It was a deal that I struck with him. I...hated the idea of losing a loved one, and offered him a trade.

[folklorist]

A-A trade? Ah. I-I see. You d-don't have to, um, explain anymore if you don't like. But that's a very n-nice story. [ Helios gives a small hum. ]

It must be strange to go from being mortal to immortal.

[windandrain]

I don't mind sharing. The trade was for a look into my mirror. [She touches her locket lovingly] It let him see some of my memories. Gama...is also the Lord of Memory, so...it intrigued him.

[She nods]

It is strange, Apotheosis. It feels...tingly. Like too much wine.

now with the right journal >:[

[folklorist]

A look into you mirror...that stores all your memories, correct? [ Probably from before when she was human then. ]

You're, um, the first person I've met to h-have actually made that transition. It's rather fascinating. It must be strange, having your memories in that mirror.

LAWWWL

[windandrain]

My mirror contains my soul, Helios, not just my memories. But yes, it contains the memories of my human life, and my first few centuries. It's...overwhelming, even for a god. And the mirror...it contains the memories of my tutor, the one that granted me Apotheosis.

I am so fail :c

[folklorist]

[ Helios' eyes widen as he regards Saori. ] I can only imagine. H-Having so much knowledge and-and memories to hold inside of you...even for a goddess that would be hard. I've heard of p-people storing their memories in things before, in my world. But it's hard and dangerous to do. The spell is...erratic at best and the outcome a dangerous one should it go wrong.

Yep!

[windandrain]

The Rite of Quicksilver isn't meant for mortal minds, no. I could see where such a thing would be hard for a human.

But yes, it isn't...good to retain such a press of memory.
