[The video opens on Aphrodite treating herself to a massage. She's on her stomach, and you can see just enough past her hair to see that she's probably naked and the masseurs are completely enamored with the goddess they're currently working on.]

I hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday. I know no one asked me to but I couldn't help but passing out gifts.

A day of love should always be celebrated.

But you know Valentine wasn't very good at his job. None of his gifts actually had anything to do with creating or removing love. Well I'm sure you've all noticed, but out of the goodness of my heart I just HAD to help him out with that. You'd think a proper love deity would have done it himself. [shrugs]

I'm surprised that the saint you dedicated my whole day to never did anything like that at all, really. Hmm, it's like you totally gave all the credit for love to a mortal who doesn't really do anything.

[face turns a little more serious]

So, everyone understands now right?

When you think of love, you think of me.

No. One. Else.

[With a self satisfied smile and cute scrunch of the nose as she giggles, the feed ends]

[[Insert verbal keysmash here.]] Nobody even knows who he is; the name's lost its reference to a person almost entirely. How many people know about you by name, even if they don't hold a feast day for you?

[you are making a point...]

Nope! Not good enough.

[pointedly looks away going back to her massage]

[[He goes on as if she's still listening.]] Which is ridiculous, now that I think of it that way. You are a goddess, you have an incarnation on Earth. You ought to have a special day.

[Fakir is so good at this]

I know right? I totally do! But I don't even have a temple yet.

[[Fakir has no dignity left and plenty at stake, so he better be good.]]

It's an unfortunate circumstance of these times. Most people don't show any meaningful allegiance to any god.

And that's what needs to change. People just need to start worshiping me again.

That's easier said than done. People are very needy and base, after all, and there isn't much appreciation for love anymore.

Duh, why do you think I just cast spells on everyone? For fun?

Most people aren't going to attribute such a malicious thing to a goddess of something like love.

Malicious?

[[Fuck, backpedal!]] Unless the outcome wasn't what you'd intended.

It's exactly what I wanted. When people think about, lament or wish they had love, they'll think of me.

Well, I certainly thought of you first.

That's because you've already been trained.

Hey! [perks up and lifts herself up on her elbows. Nothing too fun is showing, but there's a lot more of it.]

Do you want to be a priest? You could totally walk around and tell all of the other mortals how awesome I am, so I don't need to keep reminding them.

[[He's trying so hard to look flattered here.]] I don't know if I'm prepared for that. What exactly is required of one of your priests, aside from spreading your message?

Well... [pauses and stretches back down as the boys find a fun spot on her back] if you bulk up, you can get put on massage duty.

[[He looks askance at the comm]] If that's all, then...

Great! That was easy.

Oh hey, now that you're on the clock...I ordered some new clothes at Victoria's Secret. Go get those for me sweetie.

[[ASDFGHJKL]] I.. j.

What name is the order under, so I know what to ask after?

Just tell them it's for me.

...As you wish. I'll see about getting you some tribute as well.
