[i]“Maitea! Look here!”

[center]“Turn this way!”

“Is it true that you’re dating your co-star?”[/center]

[right]“Oh my god I love you!”[/right][/i]

The screams were endless. The chaos a blur amongst the crowd. Some were leeches hoping to take a picture, others trying to sell the next big story on the likes of US Weekly. Some were regular mortals, swept up in the hubbub of witnessing a celebrity with their own eyes. Xōchiquetzal gave her crowd a practiced smile.

It had been her who tipped off the media of her upcoming presence at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, her flight from LA long enough for the paparazzi to set up camp right by arrivals. Turning to the last person who declared their love for her, she leaned slightly into the stranger to pose for a selfie with her devoted fan, giving the camera a sweet smile and wink before being ushered away by security.

The easy smile remained on Xōchiquetzal’s face until the doors of her black Range Rover Evoque closed, hiding her from the crowd outside. Only then her mask slipped, leaning into the comfortable leather seats for only a second before she called out.

[color=87575c]“Alright, take me home.”[/color] Her driver nodded at her from the rear mirror before following her command wordlessly. The luncheon was likely long finished by now, the twinkling stars painting the pink skies like little freckles on delicate skin. She contemplated changing her destination to the Jade Jaguar to surprise her mother, but the thought escaped her when she looked out her window, a familiar figure meandering on the side of the road.

[color=87575c]“No fucking way- STOP THE CAR!”[/color] Xōchiquetzal shouted, her driver slamming on the breaks in reaction. Xōchi barely waited for the car before she rolled down her tinted windows, pushing her head out the window to gaze upon the woman carefully. [color=87575c]“Coco? Is that you?!”[/color]

Comus was content waltzing down the street dressed in garb commandeered from the mortals she scared away. Thankfully the fountain in the park was filled with water for her to wash the filth and grime from her body, cold though it was.

She was intrigued and amazed at the sights of the world around her, no longer was she among the Golden Age, nor was she still in Italy - that much was evident in the languages spoken around her. Though she was able to gather [i]some[/i] latin roots here and there no one seemed to speak the beautiful language itself. 'Such strange creatures they are,' she found herself thinking, eyes twinkling with the fire lights surrounding the buildings she passed, both big and small.

A large black carriage of sorts pulled up beside her as she skipped her way through town, a window down and a head of hair popped out knowing her name. At a quick glance her eyes gleamed on mirth, [color=b2617f]"Xōchi?! [abbr=It's you! Where were you? Where have I been? What is this place? I am hungry, do you have food?] Είσαι εσύ! Πού ήσασταν; Πού έχω πάει; Τι είναι αυτό το μέρος; Πεινάω έχεις φαγητό?"[/abbr][/color] Her grecian language was coming out in full force but she couldn't be blamed when most of her life on earth was spent in some nightmare fueled slumber. Didn't have any time to pick up the newest languages of the world. It didn't stop the agent of chaos from running up to the window and throwing her arms through the open window and around the beautiful goddess, squeezing her tightly afraid it was all still a terrible dream.

The Aztec Goddess squealed in happiness, taking Coco into her arms in what could be argued as the world’s most uncomfortable hug. The ramble of Greek spilling from Coco’s lips made no sense to Xōchi, but the excitable greeting helped with the context. [color=87575c]“You’ve been gone for so long, I haven’t seen you for millenia! And [i]this[/i] is how you show up, looking like a street rat?”[/color] Not on Xōchi’s watch. [color=87575c]“Come in, get in the car. We have so much to catch up on!”[/color]

It didn't take being told twice for the dark haired beauty to comply and hop into the large contraption with her long standing friend. If anything Comus was excited for what the rest of this night would bring.

After sitting beside the Aztec for what seemed like ages, when in reality it was just a few moments, Coco began asking questions about the wonderous world she had woken up to. [color=#b2617f]"What is this contraption? How long have I been gone?"[/color] Her English was beginning to figure itself out the more she spoke, especially since it was something Xōchi called to her with. Though, it was a lot different from the last time she had heard and used it. So strange to come back to such a changed environment.

It made her wonder about everyone else. Clearly they didn't all sleep as she had. Were they still around? Had any died simply because they felt like it? [color=#b2617f][sub][i]'Did someone manage to kill one of them?'[/i][/sub][/color] her mind was running a mile a minute, only coming to an abrupt stop at her latest thought. An audible gasp spilling from her.

Finally her eyes focused back on her friend beside her, no longer glassy and far away as she was lost in her own world. Voices ushering themselves off back to the dark corners of her mind allowing for listening ears to take a turn in the driver's seat.

In the meantime, Xōchi ordered her driver to make haste back home, there was a fashion emergency awaiting them and Xōchi couldn’t stand seeing Coco look so shabby beside her. [color=87575c]“I wasn’t lying when I said you were gone for a long while. It is the year 2022, the Festival started today.”[/color] Right on time for Coco to wake up then. [color=87575c]“And this ‘contraption’ is a car. Where were you all this time? Nobody has seen you take the ambrosia, how are you alive?”[/color] Something wasn’t sitting right with Xōchi, it was like Coco had slept while the world turned without her.

Luckily the airport wasn’t a far journey from Xōchi’s home, so the Goddess was able to usher Coco inside. [color=87575c]“The shower is here, my closet is yours. Choose wisely, we’re heading to Acropolis to see Eros.”[/color]

Upon entering the lavish home of her dear friend Coco was star struck. She admired everything she passed, running her fingers over the surfaces of things, before her attention was pulled elsewhere. Upon hearing Eros' name the mischievous one grinned and giggled before skipping into the bathroom to figure out how to work the knobs of the shower.

After it was turned on, many attempts to get it right only resulted in Xōchi having to step in to help, she nearly melted down the drain below her bare feet. The feeling of water rushing over felt cleansing, ridding her if the stickiness of sweat that covered her like a second skin. Of the dryness of that… chamber she was bound in for so long.

It was strange, surreal even, the long sleep she had found herself in. Well, she hadn't realized what it was at the time. But after speaking with Xōchi, through her spacious powder room, about what has happened in the world without her, it was the only thing that made sense. Why else would she have missed the last few hundred years or so? Definitely not something she did on purpose. Why would she willingly miss out on all the potential chaos and debauchery? The idea made her sick.

Once the grime and grit were washed from her body it didn’t take Comus long to find the enormous closet filled to the rafters with cloth of varying colors and textures. Her eyes aglow with the excitement of getting to choose something from the beauty’s own personal collection. She called out from the maze that was her closet, [color=#b2617f]“Are you sure I can have one?”[/color] Though she knew the answer regardless.

For her long time friend? [color=87575c]“Everything in that closet is yours, [abbr=dearest friend]noyollo icniuh[/abbr].”[/color] There has been far too much that Coco missed out on. The Goddess had mentioned to Xōchi that she had been asleep, the chamber she rested in freezing her in place until now. Perhaps Comus' awakening was a sign that chaos was incoming. The thought of chaos was absolutely [i]thrilling[/i] knowing that her boredom will be quelled.

Xōchi and Comus shared the title as Gods of excess, and many of their initial gatherings were spent playing and partying with other Gods and mortals alike. With Comus back, Xōchi felt like the party could truly begin again. But for that, they had to get to the biggest party hotspot first.

[color=87575c]“You’ll enjoy Acropolis, Coco. It is a haven built for the likes of us.[/color] Xōchi told Comus, putting the final touches on her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2b/40/41/2b4041768a20bd4f2766511ab025bfc8.jpg][color=87575c]makeup and outfit[/color][/url], refreshed from traveling at the prospect of having a party. [color=87575c]“It is the perfect place to make your debut after sleeping for so long.”[/color]

Upon arriving at Casa de Acropolis, more information had been divulged to the now woken goddess. Not only had she missed centuries of new inventions and fun new ways to cause chaos, a different type of chaos; one of death, recently struck the first day of the Festival just moments before her supposed awakening. Suspicious to say the least, but Comus wasn’t concerned about that. Truthfully, the connection never crossed her mind. She wasn’t one for searching for a deeper meaning in the world around her, too focused on making the most of the here and now.

Which just happened to place them on the doorstep of the infamous party house, run and owned by the frat boys of the Greek pantheon themselves; Hercules and Apollo. Seeing as their car was placed haphazardly in the front, Xōchi’s driver had to swerve in order to not hit it - a bummer in Coco’s eyes - it was clear that they were home. Though from what she had heard about this place the silence stemming from the mansion was a little off putting.

[color=#b2617f]“So much for party,”[/color] she pouted and kicked in the door, voice carrying through the seemingly empty and silent home, [color=#b2617f]“[abbr=Oi you fucks! Where are you?!]Ω ρε γαμώτο! Πού είσαι?![/abbr]”[/color]

The Greek god of love, who had been meandering lazily out of his room, arm slung round the dainty shoulders of some mortal, suddenly stopped when he heard an oh so familiar voice. Practically, and in his defence entirely accidentally, pushing the poor girl over, he ran to the top of the staircase. Hands resting against the bannister, he leant over, it being a miracle that he didn't fall. Eyes, emerald and bright, widened in joy at the sight before him.

Unable to wait any longer, Eros bounded down the stairs, before sweeping Coco off her feet and swinging her around in a wide, and thoroughly unnecessary, circle. [color=FF446E]"[abbr=Comus you rascal, where have you been!? I have been in utter despair without you!]Comus ρε ράτσα, πού ήσουν! Είμαι σε απόλυτη απόγνωση χωρίς εσένα![/abbr]" [/color]

Putting the goddess down, he turned to her companion, slipping back into English as easily as breathing. [color=FF446E]"Xōchi! Looking beautiful as always."[/color] He grabbed her hands, holding them gently. [color=FF446E]"Tell me. Where did you find her? I hope off causing utter chaos somewhere?"[/color] His lips turned up at the corners in a wicked smile as he beamed at his friends.

Xōchi leaned over to give Eros a kiss on either cheek, a formal yet playful greeting amongst the two. [color=87575c]“Wandering the streets looking terrible, but I fixed our little Chaos up and brought her to the best place where she can thrive.“[/color] Xōchi then took a moment to look around, sighing in disappointment when she didn’t see the typical Acropolis vibes in place. [color=87575c]“Looks like you guys need her.”[/color]

Comus screamed with laughter at being rushed and swung around, the adrenaline of seeing such an old friend bringing a sense of euphoria to her. She placed a kiss of her own to his cheek as he set her down and stood off to the side watching her two closest friends greet each other and nodding along as Xōchi explained the situation. [color=#b2617f]“She did and you absolutely do,”[/color] she kissed Xōchi once more in thanks for helping her so.

Without giving either of them a chance to react her manic eyes landed on the mortal still standing at the banister above them, hair disheveled and tussled. Looking thoroughly satiated but the expression she wore was one of pure annoyance and jealousy. [color=b2617f]“Aw, love~! Don’t be upset. Not many people can satisfy our boy here. Well,”[/color] she looked between herself and the Aztec, [color=b2617f]“[i]We can.[/I]”[/color] The smirk that graced the Grecian's face was downright smug, haughty even. The poor girl didn't know what hit her as she huffed and stomped her way down the stairs, roughly pushing past Chaos like it [i]wouldn’t[/i] result in her breaking a bone or two. In the blink of an eye Comus had snatched the mortal by the hair and smashed her face into the door before opening it and pushing her outside in a single, smooth motion.

[color=b2617f]”I’m so glad to be back~!"[/color] Dusting her hands as if she had completed some menial task - like taking out the trash. [color=b2617f]Now, let’s get this started! There isn’t anything fun going on here. What’s happened? Someone die~?”[/color] She laughed, though it felt so strange coming from her, a sound not heard in hundreds of years even to her own ears. Her dark, albeit annoying, laughter that filled the space around them bounced off walls. A dark omen surely to follow.

[color=FF446E]"I know, it's all terribly droll."[/color] Eros replied idly, his gaze moving away from the door as it swung shut. He [i]did[/i] feel bad, she had seemed nice enough, but Comus tended to bring out his mischievous side and he wasn't about to deny the goddess her fun after so long away. [color=FF446E]"They're all at the festival. Though I do hope my grandmother has murdered someone for eating too many hors d'oeuvre..."[/color] He stretched his arms above his head lethargically. It had been a night of little sleep and he'd only strayed from his bed when...Amanda? Ashley? When whomever had insisted they head out for food. [color=FF446E]"It would at least be something to talk about."[/color]

Xōchi barely gave the mortal a glance before Coco dealt with her pride accordingly. Of course it was expected for the little girl to be jealous of Coco and herself, what could a mortal do to compete with two elite Goddesses? She waved lazily at the swinging door, her attention directed to her companions instead. [color=87575c]“What if I told you there [i]has[/i] been a murder, dear love.“[/color] Xōchi answered Eros, as though what she said was a fun bit of gossip (well, considering her companions…). [color=87575c]“A shame that none of us were there to see it, but my mother saw the bodies of the two Greek children of death before she left.“[/color]

Coco's attention had been piqued a d as she whipped her head back towards their friend , her eyes shone with an emotion unfamiliar to her. [color=b2617f]"Which ones? Was it Melinoë? Poor Hades… well, poor souls who thought they could get away with it,"[/color] another laugh. It really would be a fantastic death to witness, someone getting what they're due. The idea made her giddy.

[color=b2617f]"Makes sense why the house would be so silent. Death clings to them… we should fix that. Give 'em something to celebrate and I guess get their minds off of the tragedy,"[/color] the brunette finished with a roll of her eyes. Waltzing through the expanse that is the Acropolis, Coco banged on counters and cabinets alike trying to get any and all attention on the fact that they were there and ready to party. It wasn't in her nature to have a party for any other reason than just because. But for the circumstances she supposed a distraction is as good as any.
