[Aphrodite is looking very chipper and wearing more jewelry than normal.]

Hi City, guess what day it is? Fourth day after the new moon means it's Aphrodisia. Awesome name right? I bet most of you don't know what that is, and I forgive you this month. It's a holiday my best bud Julian [drapes her arms around Calendar Man, in full costume] filled me in on dedicated entirely to yours truly!

How do you celebrate you ask? By worshiping me of course! I accept gems, jewelry, pearls, flowers and if you can't afford those...flattery. But if you want my help with anything in the next month I suggest the other presents.

It's going to be every month so if you can't give me presents this time, don't worry you have another chance in 28 days. It'll really get you on my good side, and it's always a good idea to be on love's good side.

[Aphrodite is just so happy right now, she has to sing]

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're Okaaay.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

[She reclines on the couch in Roman style with the pile of more jewelry on her lap, and she occasionally lifts a piece up to examine it more closely as she sings.]

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the diamonds
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Huh, where'd that come from?

[Those who are more likely to watch the expensive looking jewelry instead of the scantily clad goddess wearing it may notice a few price tags and security clasps still on them]

[ Standing... awkwardly... nearby. He isn't entirely sure what to do with himself. ]

The singing appears to be contagious.

[shrugs] Weirder things have happened.

These are just georgeous!

[Instantly distracted by the pretties. Picks out the necklace with the largest diamond] It's no north star but it'll definitely do.

I am glad you like them. It is your day.

Yeah it is!

I am in such a good mood now. Are you sure you don't want anything?

I wanted to acknowledge the day. I am satisfied.

Oh come on.

It's a day of love. What better way to acknowledge it than to fall in love?

I -- [ He's not actually sure how to debate this, because she's right it's her day, but still --

Oh no, he's started singing. why is this happening to him again ]

I've always run away
From things that tie me down
My life I love
But love's not for me

I see my goal ahead
With nothing in the way
If love should come
Then I'll run away

I've always been the type of man
Who's dedicated to his cause
And it's a lonely road I run
But I'll stay faithful to my course

ACTION!

[Whoa Julian's making time with the ladies, ~~Harvey's going to be so jealous~~]

You're having a celebration every month?

That's the plan!

Let that lame Valentine guy have a day. I'm going to have 12.

Is Julian going to help?

[Are you two dating?]

Totally! He's the one who told me about it.

I'm changing some of the rules to make it a little more me.

[Like he could get this]

Dear me. Don't get greedy.

[a beat] What's your favorite kind of stone, mm?

[pout] I am not greedy.

Oh that's a hard one. It's not really a stone, but I'm really partial to abalone.

Dammit! And just when I'm a bit south of Bermuda instead of there.

Next month! I'll have to find a few more pearls while I'm out here, hm?

I'm going to hold you to that.

You know you can count on me, my goddess~!

I hope so. I'd hate to have to think you were lying when you said you chose me over Poseidan.

I wouldn't dare lie to a woman! [gasp!]

That's such a sweet sentiment. If only it were true.

Every guy lies to a woman sometimes.

[ Now, this entry reminds Martin of Tamriel. It is as if Dibella herself descended into the world—albeit more conceited than the Goddess of Love and Beauty he knows of—demanding praise and gifts. ] Will a bouquet of lavender suffice?

I guess it'll work this time.

I didn't give much warning. But mix it up next month.

I don't have much money, I'm afraid, so jewelry is out of the question. Perhaps a poem for next month?

You're a poet?

Gotta tell you, huge Sappho fan. So it'll totally work...if you're actually any good.

No, but I'm a competent writer. I read a lot.

I don't know who that is. I'll do my best.

Do you have a sample?
