When the students came in Ares was sitting at the front of the room throwing energy bolts at a number of scurrying action figures, whenever one connected he would start giggling in a most ungod-like manner.

When he finally noticed his class, Ares stood up. "Firstly, I would just like to say that anyone who wants detention for the rest of the semester just has to mention last weekend, white leather, or the L-word."

"Now that we've got that out of the way, Today we are going to be talking about Zeus and Hera, the King and Queen of the Gods, and my parents, so no disrespect from you brats."

Aphrodite	If the class had been paying any attention to Ares, they would have noticed a blonde woman appear in a brilliant flash of pink light and glitter behind him.
Ares	Ares stopped mid-sentence. "Oh, no."
Aphrodite	Which would be when the blonde tackled Ares with a hug. "Ar!" she squealed happily.
Ares	"Aphrodite," Ares replied flatly, returning the hug awkwardly. "What are you doing here?"
Aphrodite	"Visiting you silly," Aphrodite replied.
Ares	"Why right now?" Ares asked. "Can't you see I'm in the middle of class?"
Aphrodite	"I can see that," Aphrodite said and waved to the class. "Hey little dudes and babes." "That's why I'm here, I hear you were teaching a class about the fam and thought I could give my bro a hand."
Ares	"And how exactly do you propose to do that?" Ares hissed. "They're vicious little vipers who won't listen to the Goddess of Love."
Aphrodite	"You willing to bet on that?"
Ares	"Sure," Ares threw his hands in the air. "Why not?" "Kids," he pointed to the class. "This is my sister, Aphrodite, Goddess of mumble. Play nice with her."
Aphrodite	"Okay, little groovers," Aphrodite, addressed the class. "I'm Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. Now I know what you guys are thinking, how does she get her hair like that? The answer, my friends, is well, Goddess." "Now some of you dudes have the look of being weetiny warrior dudes and babe, and that's cool, but I know that there's often a perception among the sword and leather types of Love being weak," she said. "And I'm afraid that that can't be further from the truth." "Don't believe me?" she said. "Well, you've obviously never seen the results of unconstrained uncontrolled, overwhelming love, or lust as the case may be, why I remember the time someone-who-shall-remain-nameless got hold of my baby boy Cupid's arrows..." Aphrodite stopped as a wee glittery lightbulb went off over her head. "Dudes, I have has the most bodacious idea, instead of me telling you about this kind of thing, we're going to demonstrate." She turned to Ares. "Bro, you got a class list?"
Ares	From over at his desk where he'd started drinking heavily when the lightbulb went off, Ares gestured and the roster appeared in glowing letters.
Aphrodite	Aphrodite clicked her fingers a second list of names appeared next to the first. "Okay, student dudes, you see the name after yours?" Aphrodite asked. "For the rest of the class, you are madly, deeply in love and-slash-or lust with that person, and you want nothing more than to be with that person, not dirty. Okay, you're not really, but I want you all to act like you are to the best of your abilities." "Got that? Rock on."

Anders nodded. "Yeah, I can deal without the whole evil part, myself. The whole thing with sex-as-power, that kind of . . ." He paused, looking off in the distance past Isabel for a moment, then shook his head. "I guess that's kind of a problem."

[OOC: No worries, work is about to make things slower on my end too.]

Isabel made a face. "I suppose some people enjoy it. It's just completely outside my experience, so I can't say how I'd feel about it."

"It doesn't seem disturbing at first, but then you stop and think about it, and it is," Anders muttered under his breath.

Quirking an eyebrow at the muttering, Isabel studied Anders. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Anders said, though he still seemed troubled. An abrupt change of mood was in order, he thought, so he forced a silly grin and got down on his knees as he said, "Oh, Isabel, don't you know I've been waiting forever for you? I even used your first name!"

That's it. Isabel made plans to go home and listen to old radio broadcast until she could figure out what the hell was going on. But for now, Isabel put one head to her heart and another to her head. "Oh," she swooned, "You have swept me off my feet with your suave grace and charming smile."

"You called me charming!" Anders, completely unaware of any such plans, wiped away imaginary tears of relief. "I knew it! This was fate!"

"Oh yes," Isabel agreed. "I've been waiting my whole life for you. Greg's just going to have to learn to live without me. I've found my true love."

"Is this the part where we ride off into the sunset or something?" Anders asked, getting back to his feet.

"On horse," she nodded. "With the wind artistically blowing my hair out as the screen fades to black."

"Think we can talk the teacher and family over there into a horse, or do we just pretend?"

"I want to stay as far away from leather-clad and obnoxious as I possibly can," Isabel said. "So let's pretend works fine by me."

"Sounds good," Anders agreed, and pointed off toward the door. "Into the sunset, then?"

"Into the sunset ~~and off to karate class~~," she agreed.
