Eris sat back in her sofa or more like layed on it picking up a remote and flipped through the channels on her wide screen. Honestly how she managed to get a sofa and 52 inch TV into Olympus, well it was best not to ask how a goddess of discord and chaos did thing, particularly if it involved golden apples. "bored, Bored, Bored," She flipped through the channels checking on some her favorites, though when Eris thought of as a favorite that might not always be the best thing.

As she flipped through the channels she came to see Paul inside of a lab of some kind with.....

Oh this got Eris's attention as standing in the Atlantean Lab which for her FAVORITE it wasn't unusual the poor sod visited the place frequently enough. No what got Eris really munching on popcorn, again chaos don't ask, was that Melinoë was giving a right twit some divine intervention. That in itself was intriguing in itself goddess of nightmares and all that Jazz, no what was spicing this up was Paul now floating.......

"HOLY F*****K!"

In her chambers Aphrodite smirked knowing full well what had just Eris to scream. "Maybe her follower finally got a clue...."

Ares as typical when he was her chambers simply sat back in the bed his arms behind his head. "Three droughts of ambrosia says he only did it to calm her down." This of course got a pillow into his face.

Back in Eris's chambers the chaos goddess was upside covered in popcorn. "what in the name of tartarus did I just WATCH!"

Well either that or she's legitimately uninterested, in which case he pretty much just assaulted her.

OL is a sensory empath, remember?
The whole reading emotion thing?
If she wasn't interested, I suspect he'd know about it.

EDIT
And given what her reaction has been to a mortal Atlantean sorcerer's stonewalling and unintentional rudeness?
If she'd been kissed against her will, she wouldn't simply be shoving the culprit away.

Well, she didn't hit him with eternal torment, which is a good sign.

Well, it's a bit soon to propose marriage.*

With that said, I don't imagine that Professor Belligerence will be giving people sass anytime soon. At least, not until he's memorized a few textbooks on theology... at which point he'd realize how easily the gods could disguise themselves if they set their mind to it, and go back to Paranoia Induced Politeness indefinitely.

*The eternal torment is being married to her in particular, I know full well that healthy and happy marriages are a thing that are not only existent, but occur with statistically significant frequency.

Eris is perhaps not the best example of ethics and good ideas.

Are you absolutely sure she's not the best counter-example?

If you want us to actually take you seriously, you should instead point out that marriages do eventually end. There's is an escape clause, after all. Explicitly: "'til death do us part."

She blinks, then I lean forward and kiss her. I don't linger, just press our lips together for a moment, but for the split second we're touching I can feel the location and texture of shadow in the room. There's a gasp from behind me as I pull back slightly, Melinoë staring at me in wide-eyed astonishment.

"Are you alright?"

"Melainia, she's Melainia oh gods preserve me."

"There, you see-."

She plants her hands on my chest and shoves me across the room! "Get off me, idiot!"

Your premier follower just tried to french a Tsundere.

The sparks that follow should be good.

"So let me get this straight, you may have caused a diplomatic incident in Atlantis,"

"To be fair, he was fine after a good night's rest. Ironically."

"Got a piece of the Titans in your pocket,"

"Only because he was trying to kill me."

"And now you've managed to stick the Goddess of Nightmares and Madness in what the kids call 'Tsun-mode.'"

"Correct."

"Did you at least try to ask Hades for hel-"

"I did. His response was, and I quote, 'Ha. Hahaha. Hahahahahaha. No. You're on your own, kid.'"

"Greeaaaaat..."

What would he need the legitimacy for exactly?

You mean other than the obvious fact that it's the difference between future orange lanterns getting cooperation from the local authorities on alien planets or the local authorities attacking them for breaking anti-vigilante laws or as vanguards of an alien invasion?

I know right?! Every time someone says "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" I'm quick to mention that apple cider vinegar is the best attractant for many types of flies.

Really? Here I thought the best attractant for flies was blood and rotting meat, hence that plant that smells like blood and rotting meat to attract flies.

Of course saying that blood and rotting meat attracts the most flies makes that turn of phrase take a dark turn.

Well, to be fair, different types of flies are attracted to different things, but those fruit flies that tend to show up in my kitchen when I least want them are all about vinegar.
 
@Mr Zoat: What's Paul's thought process when he kisses these women? He's already told Jade that he's interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with her, and in the meanwhile he's kissing random women. Does he believe that the ones he kisses see the kisses as light friendly kisses (European?) since they're obviously not interested in him in a romantic manner?

Pretty sure not even OL is that dumb. He's using the Eris school of change...by shaking things up...with tonguekisses.
