By Dolandor, there seemed to be no middle ground. If he didn't have beautiful women throwing themselves at him and getting him all riled up, then it seemed that everyone disappeared leaving him wondering what to do with himself. Damn this curse, it made it nearly impossible to focus on any one task aside from saying his lust! He'd never admit it, but Himeros was starting to think more like his twin than he liked. Perhaps it would be a good idea to slip away somewhere by himself for a while to try to regain some control and composure.
He was just entertaining this thought when someone addressed him. He turned, then thought he tecognized the youth. Wasn't that Hymn's boy? He didn't say anything to the matter, only shrugged and answered, "Sure, kid. Whatcha' wanna' know?"

Summer did not know why the Naiad was not being friendly to her she sighed as she watched the Naiad and her partner walk off to a god. As she thought about it she realized that something was weird she had herd that Adonis had been killed with arrow but she had never herd of any pae talking about having scars from love arrows. Nor did she ever hear of the arrows being present from when others fell in love. She had a theory she looked around for any erots that she could ask. They all seemed buisy and she noticed some of the Cherubs flying around. She ran over to one and spoke up. "Excuse me I have a question, What do the Erotes arrows look like." She was not sure if the cherub was the right person to ask this question to. Guardian_Iris speaking to the cheurbs, and about wanting to see a few arrows

The little curio had been given his task but supervision was still necessary. Mayu wouldn't have asked them to join in if she didn't think her sisters were necessary after all. Nothing truly escaped her notice when she was in hunt mode, from the panicked look of the blue Deity, bazaarness of the pae to the blasé demeanor of the others. For the seriousness of the incident, there were a lot that seemed to treat this as a social.
Could the unconcerned behavior of some be an indication of guilt? Then feathers caught her attention. Always one to notice a lovely feather, she noted the different feathers on arrows the cherubs proudly carried. They seemed awfully proud of themselves. The little trifles had not done their duities in any of this. It was to the point that she didn't notice them normally.
It was dawning on her, that not being noticed could allow them a lot of trouble. This would be reported to Mayu, after investigating. "Don't slack off now, curio dear. Your skills are needed and I will be watching." Her sweet smile had a smirking edge to it and she zeroed in on a group of cherubs. With all the confidence that Haku Jo would manage alright on his own, she swooped in on the cherubs like the huntresses her kind were known to be.
"Well now, lovely little triffles, just what are you so proud of? You've failed your poor mistress so. Just what were you doing during the last party?" Those distinctly different arrows looked so lovely, once they talked maybe she'd borrow a few for the nest.Guardian_Iris speaking to the cheurbs, and about to 'borrow' a few arrows

Pelagious gasped when he collided with another hard body. His mind had elsewhere (damn his fear of blood) and he wasn't really paying attention. He caught snippets of the cobversation before he crashed but it was only a word here and there before the 'BANG!'. He wondered where briefly where Lanny had wandered off too and why HE didn't save him from the collision. Then realize it was prolly Lanny he had run headlong into. Or maybe it that Eris. He had heard something of the nature before his fall.
When he heard the figure below him began to mutter, he gave himself a mental shake. He had to get it together. There was a game afoot. When he opened his eyes, all he saw was dark fuffy...curls?. "Oh my God, I'm in hell" he muttered before realizing it was somebody's hair. Pulling back, he quickly opened his mouth to apologize when he noticed that he had convienently landed on an Erote. "Or maybe I finally made it to Heaven" he said with a dazed smirk as he perused the face of this Erote. Heaven seemed to be a good option right now.
It wasn't until he felt the hand on his arm and sharp question directed at him, that he realized he had just bee sitting on the poor deity, staring at him with naked lust. THAT thought made him blush from top to bttom as he was dragged away.
Righting himself quickly, he dusted his cloak off and held a hand (and just maybe a laviscious smile) toward the blue God while answering the other God (or was it Goddess? He had noticed much else after he noticed cutey blue boy here) question as another blush rose and darkened his cheeks again. "Sorry about that. I, umm, had an altercation with Ares. Or at least his sword." he muttered, embarrassed and lusty and Goddess knew what other emotions flitting thru his mind. "I believe should ask if I hurt this vision of radience, what with my falling and stuff?"
He finally noticed there was a crowd (again, embarrassed that such perfect curls, or was it the thought of blood, could distract him) and turned to look at them. "ummmmm... Eris huh?" he questioned, hoping to bring them back to afore mentioned topic and hear it with his unfogged (and unlusted) ears. Haku turned back toward giant chicken and gave her a look the prescribed death. "You must be insane if you think I would dare approach those two crazies. No, if you want the real story, it is wise to apprach the help. They often have loose tongues. " he paused to look at the slightly drunk cherubs and gave him a small grin. "And this fellows look to be the mood for talking." Giving his small plat a gentle pat, he set off in search of a cherub.
On his way, he noticed many others had cornered the the dieties and relized it was prolly smart to ask a cherub instead.
After gathering the information, he returned to the giant roadrunner. "The arrows were owl fletched, golden, and i believe one of them drunk creatures said pink. Who in their right mind has a pink arrow?" he stated. "There was also talk amongst the others, which I listenedto as I came back" hehe paused, hoping she caught the small reference to eavesdropping "And one group was saying Eris did it before they got inturrupted, the other group was discussing rope burns and one of the other groups were discussing kittens. May I go now?" he asked.

Haku waited for answer and when wasn't gven, he glanced to see if maybe the overgrown chickadee had died on him. Granted, that would be a wonderful turn of events but luck hadn't been striking his way lately. When he noticed her ,issing, he quickly glanced. Surely he wasn't imagining things??! Then he spotted her, stalking a poor cherub. Giving a slight smile at the slightly glazed expression of fear in the little creatures eyes, he waltzed after her. No sense in letting her eat the poor thing. It would probably give anyone indigestion. 'I believe i was trying to tell you that I had already questioned this fluffy thing and had heard some things." He then repeated what he had told the empty space before. "I do believe the kitten were especially important." he mused with sarcasm.com

Ashen could only be kept still for so long and the current situation was boring him. He started to look around and noticed a bunch of little cherubs gathering and chattering with each other animatedly, now that was interesting! He took off still holding his mother's hand and pulled her towards them and stopped below them trying to reach up to them as they flapped their little wings well above his head and out of reach.
"Woah!" Naomi said startled by the sudden pull of her son's hand "Sorry" she called out to the god pae she was being pulled away from and then chased after her son. When they got close to the cherubs she could hear what they were all saying. They all got a hit? were they involved in the death of the victim? she wondered to herself. She noted all the little cherubs had arrows with different colored feathers attached, she questioned a couple about the event in question even as her son tried to catch one. She got the same answer from each and scratching her chin in thought she pondered the information given to her.

Seren noticed the other pae didn't in fact follow but that was their choice she supposed, shrugging it off she turned back tot he goddess Lola had questioned. Seren listened to all that was being said. "So he was an over-dramatizer" she mused aloud and turned to Lola "Gold arrow? But if it's the cowards way, how do you think would he have that many arrows unless he was targetted by a large number of pae..." she looked back to Kleta "The arrows of the erotes, they aren't normal, are they different colors and feathers or do they look well... normal-ish?"

Ah, good point. Just because he was surprised didn't mean he had to have fallen into a trap... or walked into a trap... or flexed into a trap.
Could you flex into a trap? Walk... while flexing...?
Huh...?
Leaning in close to Selah's ear, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and whispered, "That's Venus... And Ares, I think... They were both here, but I don't think we should go interrupt her... or him..." she leaned back, Venus gone and all, to look through the room. "I... don't see any gods or goddesses open yet..." she narrowed her eyes, hands on her hips, and leaned forward to try and look for one.
"Aha!"
Without moving, she pointed ahead towards some cherubs making motions and storytelling. "The cherubs! They were all here! Let's go ask them." Without pausing, she reached for and grabbed Selah's wrist (again) to pull her towards the cherubs on the other side of the room. Not the ones near them. Of course not. Why would Luminita ever do something so obvious like that?

Not even meant for Adonis...
Interesting thought, but he didn't buy it. Even if the wrong target walked into it, it's not like it necessarily was made to go off immediately. Besides, they wouldn't have made such a show of his being shot and then dead if it was the wrong target; probably a more discrete death to silence him.
As Peglious took off, the naiad gave Lannister a sympathetic smile, as if to wish him the best in what was yet to come of the night.
Euphrosyne was gone by the time the scene had ended.
"Did you notice how Venus seemed troubled by one of the arrows? Perhaps it was out of place or... otherwise unique; it might help identify the murderer, or at least an accomplice. Care to take a closer look?"

Lola rubbed the back of her head. "They have arrows?" She looked the room at the different gods. Venus, in her brief appearance seemed to have a bow on hand, the red angry fae had a sword and beyond the goddess before them and a white goddess speaking to another group who both had spears, didn't seem many of them were armed. "I don't see any arrows..." She watched some of the guard Cherubs yak to each other, noting they had bows and arrows. Lola pointed over to them. "Are they dangerous?"

 Pothos rubbed a hand on the back of his head until he felt the weight of the other lifted off him.... as well as whatever incoherent babbling the other pae had to say was no longer in his ears. Not that that made any difference because he apparently was still babbling on even as Harmonia scolded the other.
"No...not hurt..." he sighed, slowly getting to his feet before blinking in complete shock.
Vision of radiance...?!?!!
"I...wha...uh...who.....?!" Pothos babbled, cheeks burning hot and turning a shade of red. This guy was flirting with him?! Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. "N-n-nonono you got the wrong twin...Himeros is there!" he spat out quickly, pointing his finger at his fiery red twin who was...... oh where did all the ladies go? Never mind that, he had to get it through these mortal heads whose fault this was! "Yes.... her. She was seen...fleeing from Venus's bedroom...don't you see!" he shook his head in frustration, bringing his hands up to grasp at his curly black locks.
Just thinking about it, about her. About what she had done to not only him but Aglaia...dear Aglaia. The torment. Those days and moments, hours and minutes, lost and forgotten. Being unable to stop himself because the witch had control of his mind. Her any number of tricks. Gah it was all so easy for her! Yes, perhaps part of his reason to cast blame on Eris, one could say, was slightly biased. Then again in Pothos's mind he had good reason to be.
But was this mortal even getting any of this? Sighing to himself Pothos brought his palm up to his own face and smacked it there a bit sternly. All of the chaos had the purple demon confused. Well the flirting bit anyways...and the crashing... and this other blue pae. Side stepping them, Kylieam stood back a few ways but continued to listen. The one seemed pretty keen on it being Eris but Ky had his doubts, and so far he assumed Lee did as well. She seemed to be focusing on more than one thing at one time, eyes and ears listening to anything and everything she could. He wished he had half as much concentration as her.
But he did hear something else interesting. A couple of Venus's little cherubs seemed to be boasting about some kind of heroic battle, and all three had little pink arrows adorned with different colored feathers. So they had been there when Adonis died? And if he overheard correctly, the cherbus were guarding when something appeared and they gave chase. Something very large so they say..... then again, compared to the cherubs...weren't most things very large? So did that mean this thing was extra large or just large by their standards? Stroking his chin, Ky paused a moment in deep thought.

Pelagious scoffed a bit as the diety pointed out his sorely lacking brother. Oh sure. The man who had NO pae around him was Himeros. He knew Gods were tricky but this one was an outright liar. Surely, this lovely God of black curls and luscious blue skin was more a God of Lust than his sadly lonely red brother. He told him as much, giving the little blue God a boop on the nose. Such a silly God to doubt his own beauty.
Shaking his head, he surupticiously began to slide himself closer to this beautiful blue baby. He had to touch his curls. They looked so soft. His coats didn't even move an inche. He was proud of himself.
He listened only partially to the bueaty's comments, nodding and aggreeing where neccesary but mainly focused on trying to touch this pale one's hair. He almost had it in hands when the God began smacking himself. Which seemed to call a bit on Pelagious senses. He mainly avoided crazy people as a rule. So maybe he should avoid this rare beauty...?
Giving an anguised sigh, he turned toward the Goddess and asked if she agreed. If she did, than he guessed he better find Lanny and let him know. Which meant he had to leave this moonlit treasure. He had mystery to solve after all. But that didn't mean he couldn't peruse him from afar.
Which he had to admit, he was enjoying doing most feverently.

Selah was caught by surprise for this one, but regained her footing quickly. She grinned and actually ran alongside Luminita, beginning to get into the spirit of the mystery. She hadn't been there when the thing had happened, so she didn't have the same emotional attachment as many of the other participants did.
"What're we gonna ask them?" asked Selah before they got too close to the Cherubs. She hadn't been entirely clear on that, since Luminita's logical jumps were sometimes hard to follow...
She also noted a yellow-skinned deity excusing herself from a group. Maybe she knew something. "I think after we question the Cherubs we should try her," she said, hooking a thumb in Euphrosyne's direction.Daisicle Luminita (pointing out Euphrosyne just because I know she's open now XD)

Clues
Artemis says she was pursuing the escaped naga at the time of the victory celebration 2 seasons ago.
---
A loud, high-pitched scream echoed down the corridor off the main entrance hall. It sounded like Kyle (the cherub), but it could have been any cherub. The ones present in the decrepit ballroom zipped out the entry to investigate. They were unable to offer any responses to the questions from the mortals.
If any pae followed, they would find splatters of blood in the hallway. Tiny little bloody handprints and little bows and pink arrows. A few Erote arrows pierced the marble wall. Continuing down the corridor there were signs that tiny little bodies had been dragged away.
There are no bodies.
Todd falls to his knees and begins to sob and reach out.
((Things are getting serious now. Has the murder returned?))
