Iona Iona was fascinated by just about everything in the bath house, including the people working there. They had slightly tanned skin, pretty slanted eyes, and were a bit on the small side. Iona didn't like the looks they were casting her and Mari, though, so aside from blushing when Mari kissed her cheek, Iona didn't protest to the false affection. She smiled and held Mari's hand until they reached the room of metal boxes.
She laughed softly when Mari told her that she had a lust compulsion as well. "How strange that I never knew that..." She watched Mari out of the corner of her eye and followed her lead, taking off her clothes and wrapping herself as best she could in one of the soft white cloths. She took a drachma out of her dress pocket and placed it in the box obediently, following Mari and still trying to get the towel to cover her better. "Everything is so... different here... I mean, I have read about bathhouses, but I thought they were only for men..."

Mari Mari shook her head and grinned at the empty room, then glared at the ghost, throwing him into the hall and knowing Iona would only see her motions. "No, now the men and women have seperate houses. And women bathe together and men bathe together. C'mon" She took a hold of Iona's hand and led her to the steaming water, throwing her towel to the side and stepping into the warm water, her body relaxing as she sank to her neck, sitting against the wall. She saw the boy trying to peek over the wall at her chest and she splashed some water at him, watching him duck and hearing him squeak. "I see you Iro. I am not blind as the others are, so stop trying to catch a glimsp of us." She said loudly, the spirit pouting quietly.

Iona "I see..." Iona followed Mari to the water's edge, looking away when the other girl put aside her cloth. She hesitantly put her own towel on the floor and quickly slipped into the water, glad it was steamy enough that no one would be able to see her. She'd never been beheld by anybody without clothing... Well, except Nanny. 'And Artemis,' she suddenly remembered with a blush.
She looked over at Mari with a puzzled expression at her words. "Who are you talking to, Mari?"

MariMari looked at her and smiled, jerking her thumb at the wall to their side. "The dead kid sulking behind the wall. He got killed here in 1756 and has been here ever since..." She looked down and sank a bit into the water. "It's my fault he died.... Leiriv was seen and they thought he was a demon dog... Iro tried to stop them and when I found out he had been killed, it was two centuries later.... He was a good kid..." She curled sightly under water. "He never took the ferry with me. He always said he was more into watching how the world moved than staying out of sight..."

Iona Iona looked over at Mari and touched her shoulder gently. "I doubt he blames you for what happened, Mari. His killers are the criminals." Iona sat on the underwater ledge and drew her legs to her chest, resting her chin on her knees and staring down at the swirling, misty water. "Anyway... That logic is how I have kept from drowning in the guilt and sorrow of my own indiscretion..." A tear slipped out of the corner of Iona's eye. "I never imagined Father would kill anyone... I wish... I wish I'd said goodbye to Nanny..."

MariMari looked over at Iona, looking at her sadly beofre standing and walking over, hugging her gently. "She loves you Iona. She was sorry she couldn't protect you. Hey, cheer up. At least if you need to, I can try and talk to her." She whispered and ruffled her long black hair, then ran her fingers along her scar, fingertips coverd in soft flames.

Iona Iona sniffled and rested her head on Mari's shoulder. "If you ever see her again... Just let her know that I love and miss her, and I'm sorry this happened. That's all... Thank you, Mari." She looked up at the goddess and kissed her cheek, right over the lower part of her scar, careful to avoid the lingering flames. After a few moments, Mari drew back and stared into the water again. "Mari? Have you... Ever been in love?"

MariMari sat back down and blinked a few times at the qeustion before sighing and leaning back, resting her forarms behind her head. "Well... I though I was once. She was a mortal. I wanted to be with her, but someone else suddenly got her attention... It was like someone had flipped a switch in her and she went from this woman I loved, into someone I didn't know any more. Never understood why, but it happens. I guess we weren't fated." She confessed.

Iona Iona looked at Mari with an expression of equal pity and guilt. "Eros probably caused that... I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you, Mari... You seem like the kind of woman who deserves a happy life..." Iona sighed and fiddled with her long hair, letting it down from the ribbon she usually kept in it. "I've never known love... I... I had a silly girlish dream about being in love, once... A dream of leaving home, finding a husband who would love and take care of me... I grew out of it. I realized if anyone was going to take care of me outside my father's control, it would have to be myself..."
She blushed and sank further into the water, until her chin rested on the surface. 'But even now, that's not true... Mari, Tyrinus, and Leirivious are protecting and caring for you.' "Thank you, Mari... I really don't know what I would have done without you. I probably would have been forced to throw myself on the mercy of my father... Or Artemis." Iona blushed again and shook her head. "She wanted me to become one of her maiden huntresses, can you believe it?"

MariShe grinned over at Iona and then quickly grabbed her chest. "Seeing as how your joy orbs have some extra joy to them, I can totally understand!" she pulld her hands away and grinned at Iona impishly, then a sort of longing look entered her eyes. "Who is Eros? Do you know what Aphrodite is like? I never met my mother.. And I didn't know I had any siblings..."

Iona Iona squeaked and squirmed when Mari touched her chest, and shot a blush-filled glare to the other girl. Mari's assessment of Artemis's reasons for wanting her as a servant disturbed Iona, but she had to wonder if there was some merit to it. She shivered lightly and sat down on the underwater ledge again. 'It's a good thing I declined then... Artemis is beautiful, but... I couldn't do that kind of thing with anyone unless I loved them...'
She looked up at Mari and then back at the water at her questions. "Eros is the god of love. He is the son of Ares, god of war, and Aphrodite, goddess of love. So, he's your half-brother." Iona shook her head slightly. "The last time I saw Aphrodite was when I was seven... Just before my mother died, she came to see my father, and I caught a glimpse of her. She was... well, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Long, soft hair that looked like it was spun from gold, deep purple eyes, perfect pale skin... She was adorned in riches, too. Aphrodite scared me, though... She looked so very angry..." 'And she'd probably smite me if I dared say it, but I think my mother was far more beautiful than her...'

Flash Thompson
A.K.A
Venom "Another plate of sushi," a rather handsome, muscular, looking blond gently placed his chopsticks down and a thanked the man in Japanese as he payed the respectable amount of money onto the counter. As the sushi chef brought out a cold fish to be sliced up, Flash Thompson poured himself another glass of shot onto the saucer. No matter how much he drinks, he'll never forget that faithful day. That day where he...he...
It's not your fault. He hears a whisper as Flash gulps down his drink, Toxin pulled him into the fire, there was nothing you could have done. Variety of sushi faced him as Flash picked up one with his two fingers. You say that it' not my fault, but the way that Eddie was looking at me. He was cursing me until the bitter end. He hated me. He-
Don't think like that, your starting to sound more pathetic than Angelo; and trust me, he was a big disappointment. Flash popped another sushi into his mouth. What you need, is to kick some a**. We're in Tokyo Japan, the land where women have absolutely no respect. They get raped here, they're automatically interent stars: for the wrong reasons. Vent out. Seriously, you haven't used me for almost two months, I'm dying here.
Sorry, but I'm taking a break.
That's one long-a** break. Flash chewed meticulously as he eyed at some of the punks that were lecherously glancing at a single mom walking down the street. No, I'm not going to beat them up. I have a damn pair of prosthetic legs. I can't do crap- and those kids are leaving the place. Flash's eyes wandered at the boys as they followed the woman closely behind. Not going to happen. Not on his watch. Pulling out a wad of Yens and placing it on the counter, the hero followed the teens outside where he saw them harassing the woman.
"Hey!" The boys turned to the former Marine, as the man closed in on them. "The hell do you think you boys are doing?" suddenly feeling that the mood was killed, the boys left. Not bothering to look back at the rather terrifying looking man in front of them. Flash turned around to see a very grateful looking woman with a bright smile. "You alright?" She blinked. Right Japan.
"Are you ok?" She nodded, her smile returning. "You should be careful, kids these days are getting more rowdy." Flash looked around, "Um...it's not much, but would you like me to at least escort you to the train station or something?"
She replied that the help would be appreciated.
Admit it, your thankful that we ate that rapist back a month ago to learn Japanese.
Yeah, but he tasted absolutely terrible.

Venom Turns out that the mom was actually a stage crew, running back and forth from one place to another to get the model's need for today's shoot apparently. Flash, for his 'courageous' deed, was invited to watch the photo shoot that was going on in Japan. Although he wasn't interested with the whole thing, it would look bad if he we're to turn down a gracious offer from the manager herself. Also he didn't have anything to do, so why not? So here he is, sitting on one of the benches, being asked if he needed anything.
"No thanks, I'm good" Flash told the woman as he comfortably sat on his seat. Watching each model pose in front of the camera with utter most confidence.

 Mari gasped in relief as the director told her to take five. It's just too much for the exotic beauty to maintain a poise for almost am hour now. In fact, it was ridiculous just what the man expected for her just because she was one of his best. Her mocha lips contorted upward to a smile as her manager hastily rushed to her and handed her a towel and a cool bottle of water. Her cyriousity perked when she pulled a jar out of a plastic bag. Mari's eyes widen when she read the label. Jif. Oh goodness, she actually brought a jar of peanut butter! There are some things that people know about Mari McCabe. Some know her as the super heroine Vixen. Others know her as the supermodel that defines "exotic beauty" in the mainstream modeling world. But there is one thing that not many, except her closest friends, knew about. There was one particular kryptonite that most of her friends usually exploit the hell out of for favors: peanut butter. It was her little Scooby Snack that she frequently hogs for herself - oh my god, she got a pallet of crunchy, nutty, peanut butter! The rarest delicacy of all peanut butter! "Yukina, I seriously love you." Mari graciously thanked as she scooped up the peanut goodness with three fingers and brought the heavenly mixture into her mouth. As she worked to dislodge a mass of peanut butter from the roof of her mouth, she noticed a rather handsome looking man looking at the model rather boredly. "Hey Milla? I don't think he's part of the paparazzi..." The other model explained how her manager was being harassed when she was picking up the food that was consumed by the gods. If it weren't for the man in front of her then Mari would never have gotten her peanut butter! Oh the horror! Looks like she has someone to thank today- Mari groaned out loud as her director called out that break was over. She cutely pouted as she slowly closed up her peanut butter, "I'll be back of you later." she patted on the lid of the JiB peanut butter and sighed. Oh right, before she gets nasty with her peanut butter, she'll need to thank that man for- "I'm coming! Hold on!" Mari screamed at the director. God, she wish something could happen to cancel today's shoot.

Venom Flash didn't think that it was possible, but there was actually someone...observing him? The second generation Venom looked over and blinked. Well what do you know? Someone pretty was looking at him. Dark skin. Fair tone body. Not too skinny, but not too curvy. She looked-
Delicious enough to eat?
Venom, shut up.
What's the magic word?
Go screw your- Spider Sense! Flash fell to the floor the moment the gunshot echoed.
