It was too early for her to actually pretend to be somewhat social. She gave a cordial nod to Mackenzie as she joined them only to have a rather boisterous Lex to really wake Phoenix up. She raised her eyebrow to the shrunken head she was carrying but by this point, knew there was no questioning it. She continued to look around as the crowd grew and more of the residents began to join them.<br/><br/>As Aristotle joined and gave her a wink, she couldn't help but bite the inside of her cheek as she smiled at him, simply remembering yesterdays events. However, when a very happy and energetic woman snuck behind him and wrapped her arms around his face. He seems quite happy to see the girl, even giving her a small kiss on the neck. Phoenix couldn't help but feel her eyes narrow slightly at the gesture, not enough to be noticed by most... but enough that she realized herself. She shook the look and averted her eyes. No way she could possibly feel jealous, they were just casual lovers. While convincing herself, she happened to feel eyes on her as the twins joined the group. The dark haired one, Jasmine if she recalled, seemed to have been glancing her way. She offered a soft smile to the girl before looking to see the bundle of energy embrace them as well.<br/><br/><em>'Who IS this girl..'</em>she thought, mildly irritated.<br/><br/>She watched as the girl joined the Elders and nodded<em>'Must be an Elder... but she clearly has been here prior...'</em>she deduced.<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.ibb.co/BBPbCrN/Hailie2.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;"><strong>Autumn Rose Bailey</strong></span><br/><strong>Blessed By::</strong>Demeter<br/><strong>Location::</strong>Front Gate<br/><strong>Company::</strong>Jasmine, Nenene; all gathered<br/><strong>Date/Time::</strong>Saturday Morning, Day of the Blessing Ceremony<br/><strong>Mood::</strong>Happy, Excited<br/><strong>Wearing::</strong>This Gown (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b6/39/72/b63972e8868af65fcd7a37d749d8f0a4.jpg)<br/><strong>TRIGGER WARNINGS::</strong>None<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Autumn smiled to everyone as her and her sister approached. When her eyes found Nenene she couldn't help but let out a small squeal<strong>"Nene your back!"</strong>she embraced the small girl before pulling back<strong>"Are you coming back as an Elder?! That's so exciting!"</strong>she continued.<br/><br/>She parted from the embrace and nodded<strong>"Oh most definitely! I have so much to tell you!"</strong>she added.<br/><br/>The three looked at Akira who seemed to be mildly amused by the request. She could tell the Head Elder was about ready to speak so she gave Nenene another hug before letting her bounce off to stand wit the other elders. She noticed a soft blush on her sisters face and followed her eyes to Phoenix. She laughed and stood really close to jasmine, leaning in so that only she could hear.<br/><br/><strong>"You know.... you could always try and talk to her. I mean, I know that he is sort of seeing someone but from what I've heard, she isn't in a official relationship."</strong>she added to her sister with a smirk.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.ibb.co/TPZmS4g/Demi-Moore-1.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;"><strong>Miss Akira Takanashi</strong></span><br/><strong>Blessed By::</strong>Zeus<br/><strong>Location::</strong>Front Gates ->Temple<br/><strong>Company::</strong>No One<br/><strong>Date/Time::</strong>Saturday, Early Morning<br/><strong>Mood::</strong>Mildly Stressed, Eager<br/><strong>Wearing::</strong>This Grecian Style Dress (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/48/98/48/489848ff01c71f37f40f5f3342487852.jpg)<br/><strong>TRIGGER WARNINGS::</strong>None<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>'Did she just say Apollo was her husband?'</em>Akira thought with a raised brow as the blonde went off to great some of the others. She made a note to inquire about that later. Nene bounded off again to greet the twins and Akira couldn't help but shake her head with a soft laugh. When she called over about joining them for a drink she laughed.<br/><br/><strong>"We'll see."</strong>she offered, not giving any definitive answer.<br/><br/>She enjoyed having a drink and talking about all sorts of fun things but didn't want others getting the wrong idea. As Kenzie walked over she smiled warmly and gave her a nod.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh yes, Mackenzie. I was hoping after my speech at the temple you could do a ritual to cleanse and open the space to receive our energies."</strong>she asked softly.<strong>"I want to create a neutral space that will ensure a strong connection between the Gods and ourselves."</strong>she added.<br/><br/>She watched as it seemed most people had begun to arrive so she cleared her through and commanded the groups attention.<br/><br/><strong>"Good Morning!"</strong>she started<strong>"Today is a day to visit the temple and leave a blessing for those that have Blessed us. Please follow me."</strong>she asked and turned to leave the gates, the Elders close behind her and then the Blessed behind them.<br/><br/><br/>The temple was a large marble building with huge Greek inspired columns and a large fountain just outside. Inside the temple was large and people came far and wide to leave requests for the Gods. These requests, Akira collected Daily and would assign them to the Blessed. There was stairs that took your down underground where there were winding paths that lead to rooms of the deities. Only those Blessed could see the door to descend into the catacombs and would be lead to their God or Goddesses room by an uncanny force. Each room had a statue of their God or Goddess and has a mystical aura about it. Some say that when in these rooms they can even hear the voice of those the blessed them.<br/><br/>Akira stood at the fountain and smiled as the Elders joined her side and waited for all the Blessed to gather around.<br/><br/><strong>"Today, we will descend into the temple and present our offerings to those that have blessed us. After Mackenzie cleanses the space, we will all go through the gatekeeper and follow our path to our deity. You may spend as much time as you wish here at the temple, you never know, you may even receive a message yourself as some have had in the past. When you have finished with your offering, you can return to the village and relax until tonight's party."</strong>She looked around to be sure everyone was still following her words<strong>"The party tonight will begin at six tonight with a feast prepared by our amazing chefs. The theme is Masquerade and I can't wait to see everyone all dressed up. So here is to a night of dancing and drinks and another amazing year thanks to our Gods and Goddesses. May your year be full of growth and prosperity."</strong>she bowed softly.<br/><br/>She then stepped aside and gave the floor to Mackenzie<strong>"If you so kindly would please."</strong>she spoke softly.
