Kali looked up as someone approached, and quirked an eyebrow at Eros. Apparently, she'd caught his eye. At least that meant she'd have someone to mess with. "You look bored out of your mind."

Eros gave her his famous smirk. "Do I? I've been trying not to, but this place is awful."

Kali laughed softly, the sound musical and light. "Indeed. I was really hoping it would be more interesting than the last few, but I've been let down."

Eros smirked. "Agreed. I don't even know why I came here. Zeus certainly isn't the god of parties."

"No, that would be left to Dionysus." Kali nodded, looking out at the crowd of mingling people. "He must be absolutely dying inside."

"He's not even here," Eros said, an air of boredom about him. "Didn't you hear? He actually skipped a party."

Kali hummed thoughtfully, turning her gaze up to meet Eros's, eyes startlingly sharp. "Should've skipped when you had the chance. Maybe next time I'll throw my own party at the same time."

Eros grinned feraly. "Good idea. I'm sure the god of parties would live to come." He turned. "Hey Zeus!" He called. "This party sucks!"

Kali's eyebrows shot up in amusement, and she could almost hear her mother's laughter in her ear. "Where's the fireworks?" She called, pushing off the wall.

Zeus's face flushed. Everyone was staring at him now, and there was some muttering. Eros smirked, sauntering over to the god. He was waiting for the moment when he broke.

A fight was probably the most interesting thing that would happen at this party, and Kali could never resist discord. Her bloodline, she supposed. She inched a bit closer, watching as Zeus turned redder and redder.

A bolt of lightning exploded right next to Eros, and he clucked his tongue. "Temper, Highness, temper."

"C'mon Sparky, no need t' get all grumpy." Kali's speech patterns switched a bit, taking on a definite more mortal resemblance as she stepped forward, eyes lit up wickedly.

Zeus's beard crackled. A storm started to gather, and Eros grinned. Finally, entertainment.

It was a wonder Zeus had even invited her, when he knew exactly who her mother was, and what that meant for his parties. Oh well. She stuck her hands in her pockets, rocking on her heels as she grinned. "So scary. I'm shaking in my sandals."

Eros smirked at her. "You look like it." He winked at a passing goddess. Zeus looked so angry Eros was surprised that he hadn't blown something up yet.

Most of the other gods and party guests had lost interest in the idea of another one of Zeus's blow ups. Kali quirked an eyebrow at Eros's smirk, and turned away with a sigh. "I wonder if Hera's willing to ditch this party with me." One last button push.

Zeus flushed red. Lightning started raining down on the guests, and rain poured down. Eros grinned. "Wow, Zeusy, you are really bad at holding our temper."

"That water-proof setting spray was absolutely worth the buy." Kali mused, tapping her cheek and pulling away a clean finger. "That sales guy was right."

(Sorry.)

Eros laughed. He poked Zeus's cheek, ignoring the shock that came from it. Hera was watching, an amused look on her face.

Suddenly switching back to the sweeter, more polite personality, Kali gave a wave, smiling sweetly. "Well, this was fun, but I really should be excusing myself now. Duty calls."

Eros ignored her. He glared at the king of the gods. Finally, he shrugged. "I still don't get him."

Kali hummed as she turned, slipping off through the throngs of people. Maybe she'd find a diner, or somewhere with half decent food.

Eros teleported away, satisfied.
