Wednesday Group Lunch
[Sometime mid-morning on Wednesday, the Eatery and Kitchen will suddenly be bustling with activity. First, the sounds of cookery start to trickle out into the hall, quickly followed by some delicious smells. If one peeks in, they might see Lebkuchen kneading dough while Cerejiera gives her some instructions on modern oven use. There are others chopping vegetables, and some point Ranma’s cooking something on the stove. Soon enough, food starts to come out and fill the table. Fresh bread and soup, various other dishes, as well as apfelstreudel and lebkuchen for dessert. To drink, there’s coffee (Vanity) and tea (Sayo) and some kind of fruity, delicious punch that combines peaches, grenadine and something almond-y, reminiscent of something familiar to at least one of you. At the same time, the table starts to be set up, plates and cups levatating through the air with alicorn magic while Aoi has been trusted with…the napkins. Once the table is mostly set, runners are sent out to invite (or strongly encourage, if needed) those missing to a lunch in the Eatery. Which is now for sure 100% safe from Rube Goldberg-esque accidents, courtesy of Alex.
So come in! Grab a seat, a drink, and some food. Time to get to know each other a little better.]

INTRODUCTIONS
Attention! Attention, everyone! [he’ll wait until it’s a bit quieter, then:] Now, I know we already know a bit about each other from those profiles, but let’s make this official, huh? I know I tend to prefer to introduce myself, so consider this your chance to pretend like those statues out there don’t exist and this is the first time we’re meeting.
ICEBREAKERS
[Skill issue, Vanity’s tone seems to say.]
-I pulled a couple icebreaker questions for people to answer if you’re terrible at speaking.
[She clears her throat, slipping into what is obviously Manager Mode to anyone unfortunate enough to have worked a retail, office, or- …a job, anyone here who’s had to work a job.]
First, describe the best prank you’ve ever experienced or been a part of. Second, if you could add one rule to those at the pavilion, what would it be? And/or third, what’s one weird piece of trivia you happen to know?
[Come on everyone, spill your dirt.]

I am Ferdinand von Aegir, and my apparent domain is Loyalty! I am twenty three years old and a general in the Imperial Army and member of our specialized Strike Force. I have also been preparing to take the role of Prime Minister in the Adrestian government once the current conflict we are engaged in is settled. So please, let me know if there are any tasks I can aid you with while we work together here!
[He's practically ablaze with energy]

[ She stands up and all of a sudden - it's hard to say exactly what, if anything, changes but all of a sudden she's sparkling. ]
Like my little profile thing says, I'm Ai Hoshino - but just call me Ai, okay? Everybody already does. I'm the Goddess of Entertainment... whatever that's supposed to mean. I guess it's because I'm an idol? And the group I perform with is called B-Komachi - if you're from Japan, you've heard of us.
[ Despite that sounding like unbearable bragging, she says it so matter of factly that it almost comes off as modest. somehow. ]
Let's see, what else... how about some trivia that's more fun than the ones by those statues? I cut my own hair at home, I like matcha lattes and I've got a really good sense of smell. Oh, and my favourite animals are bunnies.
[ Beeeeeeeam. ]

[ clears his throat ]
B-buuut if you have any questions on how to make something a little more, uh, accident-proof, don't be afraid to ask me.

But enough about that! [he waves a hand] I'm a Ferengi, a very important and venerated species among the galaxies. We're well known for our business acumen and our lobes for profit! Ferenginar and the Ferengi Alliance never have gone to war because we prefer to negotiate. And yours truely is an excellent specimen, if I do say so myself. In fact, I negotiated with Athena for my place here, complete with a contract. which, I might add, she was quite impressed by. [he is Very Smug about this]
Anyway, it's my job to help build a community here, if my domain didn't give a clue to that. To that end, I'll be opening a bar here in the evenings soon enough. [He grins, widely, all sharp teeth and used car salesman energy] Quarks Bar: Your New Local Watering Hole! Coming soon! Look forward to it. [and then he winks, cheeky]

I am Lady Aglaea, the Goldweaver, Dressmaker of Okhema and leader of the Chrysos Heirs of Amphoreus. [Gee Ferdinand someone's giving you a run for your money in the titles department-] I am currently over a thousand years old, and I've been given the title of Goddess of Weaving.
[To the point!]
For full transparency, I have experience with situations like this. For centuries, I've led the Flame-Chase Journey, where myself and the other Chrysos Heirs have fought to obtain the coreflames, the very essences, of the titans that rule our world. We achieve demigodhood, and our goal is to usher in a new world where we might be free of the tyranny of the titans.
[It's not like the Flame-Chase Journey is a secret in Amphoreus or anything. She has nothing to hide there.]

It's a pleasure to meet all of you properly. My name is Sayo Yasuda—the "Goddess of Locks", evidently—and I'm... [ a flicker of hesitation, eyes unfocusing for just a moment, then, clear again: ] nineteen years old. I've served the Ushiromiya household on the island of Rokkenjima since I was a child, and I just adore mystery stories. [ she fidgets her hands a bit, absently. ]
I've spent most of my free time for the past few years writing my own work. A publisher recently gave me a wonderful advance for my debut, and I was about to leave my position and focus full-time on writing when Athena appeared to me.

Aoi Mukou, goddess of support. I'm a romance option from a video game. This world might be a video game too, but Aoi's from a different genre than the game Athena set up. My favorite foods are ice cream and Yabeley's tomato juice.
Aoi hopes we can all be friends.

[...he brought several cushions upon which to loaf so he could actually be seen instead of just. being in a human-sized chair and maybe having the top of his head visible.]
I am thirty-five years of age, and I am a professor of literature. I am from a nation called Russia, which seems to be familiar to at least some of you. My divine domain is, interestingly enough, Retribution.
[...he's a little bit amused, perhaps.]

'Sup, name's Ranma Saotome. Sixteen, and if the statues hadn't made it obvious, I'm a martial artist. I've been training since...
[Pauses, before tilting his head.]
Well, I was too young t' remember when but, on an educated guess it was 'round when I was 1 or 2? Give or take. [Just. Casually throwing that out there like that's something to discuss so nonchalantly.] Spent all my life travelin' around the world training everyday.
Apparently, I'm the God of Flow, which is prolly 'cuz my specific style lets me pick up any kind of fighting style like [Snaps a finger!] that!
[Go with the flow, roll with the punches]

[She brushes her hair back with a proud flick before folding her arms.]
Created in Aegis' labs as the ultimate fighter and enhanced human. When I'm not kicking ass on the field or in the board room I'm doing it on the minigolf course.
[Is. Did she rehearse this-]
And I make a damn good cup of coffee, even if what's available here isn't the best.

My name is Lebkuchen. [ and then, thinking suddenly of Aoi- ] If it's a little difficult to say I don't mind just "Leb". A friend of mine used to always call me that.
[ That last bit is said with a slight tinge of sadness but it's nothing that out of the ordinary. Sometimes you're just sad about friends in past tense! ]
I grew up in a little village called Kieferberg and lived with my granny, helping her run her bakery. I was also a nun, though I suppose that may not be much of a surprise to many of you...
[ She's very aware she's still wearing her habit. ]
Anyhow, [ and then her voice becomes noticeably warmer and softer ] the kitchen isn't one I'm used to but I still did my best to make some of our bakery's staples for all of you. [ She is referring of course to all the baked goods!! ] Please let me know what you think or if you have any questions. ♡

Snow White. As in the fairy tale, yes - apparently, it's not unique to any one world. I'm a princess of a place that doesn't exist anymore, and a member of the Daughters of the Crown, which likely also no longer exists.
If we have need of battle tactics or magical research, I'm very experienced at them by now... though Rapunzel was always the diplomat, and Cinderella the warrior.

WORLD INFORMATION
[Vanity’s here, she’s helping! She has a very large mug of coffee on top of what she’s set up to be shared by everyone else.]
Most of us are from different- worlds, universes? Universes seems like the best way to describe it.
[She takes a sip before continuing.]
Knowing what’s “normal” for all of us could be useful, so we’re less likely to talk in circles about shit. Best way to do that is probably to go over what is or isn’t familiar about where we are right now compared to whatever home is, since that’s pretty literally the only fucking point of commonality we for sure have to to work with.
no subject
Wait. That isn't helpful, is it. Um...
[Pause.]
I live in Japan. There are cell phones and cars, and if that doesn't mean anything to you, that... probably means I'm in the relative future...
We don't have advanced space travel yet. America went to the moon, but... that's it... No magic either. [Pause.] Probably. I... can't really prove it one way or another...

DOMAINS AND POWERS
Continuing on that vein, if you’re here, you got some kinda power along with your domain when we became Gods. First, let’s talk about what we’ve been able to figure out about our powers and what they do. Second, if you’ve found a way to draw it out, do share with the rest of us, hm? In fact, who knows, maybe it could be a group activity. Something like that. [he waves a hand] The sooner we get these figured out, the better.
PROFILES
[Sorry not sorry, Quark.]
Domains aside, is the information listed accurate for everyone? I’ll go ahead and say mine’s all correct.
[A quick beat.]
Yes, even the age, which APPARENTLY some of you think is strange.

SECOND HOST?
[Vanity clears her throat for a second, and when she next speaks, it’s a slightly echoing, crackly rendition of Athena’s voice.]
I didn't put those statues there.
[She folds her arms, voice returning to normal.]
Meaning either dear Athena is suffering from memory loss, or more likely there’s a second actor involved in our arrivals. Anyone have any theories or thoughts on that, since Athena hasn’t been terribly forthcoming?
