It was quite a hectic day. A lovely apartment with a beautiful view of the city of Seattle got turned into a temporary make-up and styling station. People wearing full black outfits were busy making sure one particular woman will be much prettier on that specific day. Well, they didn't have to do much actually because the woman they were busy with was already gorgeous herself. The woman in question was none other than the goddess of love Aphrodite who had changed her name throughout the years. Currently, she was Helen Beauregard, a sex therapist and a marriage counselor as well. 

That day, Helen was very busy chilling as her whole glam team made sure she would look even more stunning for the Conclave which her team thought was just an ordinary business meeting. She thought about the gods and goddesses she was going to meet there; she's also sure she's going to see new faces as some of them didn't attend the Conclave way back. Helen really hoped she could see her son, she's been texting him and hitting his number up but got no reply per usual. She sighed sadly and began to have doubts about coming to the meeting.

"Now, now. Don't frown, dear. A frowning face can't bring out the beauty that you are." Danny, Helen's most-trusted make-up artist said, said when he noticed she was frowning more.

Helen snapped out of her trance and looked at Danny's reflection in the mirror. [color=papayawhip]"You're right. Thanks, Danny. You're always there for me."[/color] She said to him with a wistful smile. Even when her make-up's halfway done, she's still prettier than all the models in the magazines yet she felt very hollow whenever she remembered the pain and hardship Eros had to go through. She could only hope he was doing okay on his end, wherever he may be.

Danny smiled sweetly at him and patted her shoulder. "Whatever it is you're worried about, it will pass. Nothing lasts forever, after all." He reassured her before instructing the others to go get her dress ready. Helen smiled and was now at ease as her secretary gave her the set of pearl earrings she ordered from the latest runway in Paris.

As her glam team put the finishing touches on her while she looked at the mirror, Helen couldn't help but let out a smile that figuratively lit up the room and boosted everyone's moods. No matter what happened, every day was still a great day to look gorgeous. [color=papayawhip]"Thank you all so much for your wonderful efforts, my dears. All of you will be generously rewarded for your hard work. Now, I believe it's showtime."[/color]

Students and professors alike were gawking in awe as Helen got out of her sleek, black car while assisted by her driver. Her light pink couture dress fitted against her curves perfectly, her blonde wavy hair framed her light brown-grey eyes very nicely, and her expensive high-fashion heels and pearl earrings made the overall look of the outfit even better. They couldn't even tell if she was wearing make-up or she just woke up like this. 

[color=papayawhip]"Thank you, my dear. I'll call you later when the meeting's over."[/color] Helen said to the driver as he was giving her one of her Birkin bag at which he nodded and drove to the parking area. 

She gave the onlookers a flirty smile and wave as she made her way to the conference room. Her heels clicked against the tiled floor as she looked around while walking. The Morrigan could've picked a better choice for a meeting, perhaps a high-end restaurant or a cozy cafe where they could drink mocha lattes while talking but she supposed this will do. She couldn't help but wonder what the meeting was all about but she was certain all the gods wouldn't meet up if it weren't so serious.

Helen opened the door of the conference room and gave the present gods there a very sweet smile. [color=papayawhip]"[i]Bonjour[/i], everyone!".[/color] Her nose was instantly assaulted by a foul stench as she saw a janitor cleaning up a pile of vomit. She rolled her eyes and gave her fellow gods a teasing smile. [color=papayawhip]"Really guys? We all haven't seen each other in a while and the first thing one of you did was puke? Tsk tsk, how naughty."[/color] She said with a giggle as she approached them, the aroma of her expensive perfume slowly wafting throughout the room.

[color=papayawhip]"My oh my, all of you are so handsome and beautiful! It really is a pleasure meeting you all again."[/color] Helen sweetly and genuinely said with a curtsy. She noticed Eros wasn't in the room yet she could see Hera and Ares at her peripheral vision whom she chose to ignore for now. She's going to try to act as professional as long as she could before this whole thing blew over. She could already tell the room was filled with tension due to the long history between each of the gods and their experiences of living in the same city together. She was already bracing herself for the storm of drama and chaos that will eventually come.
