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."

Collapsey style.

Watch out for the action figures though.

Take notes! Or gossip about the sibling drama!

'Dite is definitely the more personable of the pair though.

Because they just might be saner than the teachers.

Charlie Kawalsky

*may be kind of a weetiny bit insane*

Kawalsky raised his hand.

Valentine ~~who is finding it increasingly comfortable underneath his desk~~

Aphrodite grinned at Kawalsky. "Yeah, little dude?"

Sibling drama was interesting enough. Sibling drama between two gods was not incentive enough for Valentine to want to come out from under his desk.

It was his safe spot, dammit.

"You're looking lovely today, but I have to ask. How do you do the teleporting thing? Sideburns won't tell me."

Valentine stared at the list long and hard from under his desk, and then he looked around the room very carefully.
Partly because he was trying to place a face to the name of the person he was supposed to lust over, and partly because he feared for his life, having not one, but three people who were assigned to lust over him.

Valentine dared to peer out from under the desk to wave his hand about. Tentatively.

"Well, aren't you the charmer," Aphrodite said, snickering at the nickname. "Afraid there's nothing to tell, I want to be in a place then I am in that place."

"Well, hey there little mask guy," Aphrodite said, "Aren't you just the cutest thing?"

"No shiny technology? Buttons you push? Mind controlled devices?"

She shook her head. "Nope."

"Valentine," he corrected about as politely as Valentines do. It was disheartening to be the 'little mask guy,' but at least he was cute. This, at least, quelled any fears that his life might end if be spoke to Aphrodite.
Mostly.
"I'm... not so good with... interacting with people who don't have masks," he said. "I can't read them. I don't know what their expressions mean. So... how do I know when that lust thing is running rampant? I mean, before their face makes it to my lap?"
Not that he was referring to any scenario in particular, of course.

"That's a very good question," Aphrodite replied. "A lack of clothes is usually a good sign."

Well, that was handy to know.
"And if the face meets the crotch before the clothes start to come off? Or... uh." Valentine quirked his head in thought, shifting his weight so he was sitting cross-legged under his desk. "I mean, are there any things to look for before the lack of clothes... thing?"

He didn't believe her. "Okay, then how about this - do you have a snake in your head?"

"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW," Aphrodite exclaimed. "Ugh, how grody would that be?"

"Tell me about it!" He paused, then pointed at Ares. "Does he have a snake in his head?"

"There's always sweet talking."
