Zeus had given up on her work out after the first stretch. The need for a donut was too high and her dislike of exercise was just icing on the proverbial cake. She made her way through the park at a more leisurely pace, using her long toned legs to cover the distance between herself and the donut stall within a few minutes. Maybe she'd get a coffee too, if she was already pissed off so early in the morning, she was going to be a nightmare to work with later.
Fishing in her pocket for her credit card, Zeus stopped in line behind a rather tall imposing looking woman. She frowned slightly, pausing in her search to eye the woman more clearly. Why did she look so familiar?
Hades sent a look over the woman behind her but didn't spare another glance. That would mean wasting more time that she couldn't waste, she had a deadline to meet by the end of the day.
A woman came up from behind him and passed him, a dog nearly slamming into the back of his knees as it tried to keep up with the owner. Typically, he would've been annoyed by something like that, since he hated dogs, but something about the woman confused him so badly the anger was forgotten. It felt like he knew her. Which was….weird, since he has no memory of meeting her.
"Hey, lady," he called, rubbing his chin and frowning. "Wait a second!"
Poseidon looked behind her at the man calling her and stopped, unhooking King's leash and letting him take a break while she walked over to the unknown person. "You called? Do I know you?" She asked, frowning. The male looked very familiar but she couldn't place her finger on why he did
"That's a damn good question," he said, taking a swig of the bottle before continuing," I was hoping you knew."
He offered his hand out, the frown still on his lips.
"Dionysus. Did we happen to meet at a party last night?"
(hey, I'm going to have to drop out. I can't be on enough to keep up. Sorry!)
(Yeah same, school honestly is keeping me from being on Notebook as much as I'd like to)
Poseidon shook her head. "No I did go to a party but I would remember you. I'm Poseidon."
(Just a question, would they actually know each other as the gods or think of the other as a human with the gods name
Zeus, for one thing, was blunt. Which meant that even though the woman before her had casually dismissed her, Zeus kept on staring. She knew her from somewhere. Gazing raking over the woman's appearance, Zeus figured that maybe she had seen her at the museum during an event. The woman's snazzy pant suit certainly screamed money. Yes, that had to be it. Right?
And yet, some part of her was wildly annoyed at the woman. The very fact that she was breathing in Zeus' vicinity seemed to be an insult. Jezz, hate at first sight much? She thought to herself, brushing a white lock of hair out of her face. Only then did she look away, her arms crossing across her chest.
After a few more moments of standing tersely, Zeus' voice rang out. "Hey–Do I know you?"
Poseidon shook her head. "No I did go to a party but I would remember you. I'm Poseidon."
(Just a question, would they actually know each other as the gods or think of the other as a human with the gods name
(I would say the second one for now?)
(Ok, so each god thinks of the other as a human with the name of the actual gods)

Hades did not look behind her, the woman annoyed her. "I do not know nor care. You may have seen me around the business world." She rolled her eyes and moved up the line, ordering her coffee and than ordering double.
(Sorry to see you go, izzy and Ice. Stark to answer your question; yes, for now, they think the others are human. Sorry I didn’t say that before.)
Zeus snorted elegantly, rolling her electric blue eyes. "Obviously. No one else would have such a stick up their ass." She muttered, mood plummeting further. Why the hell was this woman's presence bothering her so much? Must have been enemies in a past life or something.
Eventually, Artemis was able to get out of bed and back on her feet. She managed to get cleaned up and dressed before going for a run to the nearest coffee shop. She really couldn't function this early without caffeine, but adrenaline and ”Queen of swords” playing in her ears would help in the meantime. Aside from the annoyingly bright sun, it felt like a nice morning, cool and crisp. Once inside the shop, she paused her music and waited in line, noticing couple of women ahead of her that seemed very familiar.

Hades raised an eyebrow and took her coffee, sipping it. "How about you shut you fucking mouth before a nice chat turns into a death match?" He grumbled, looks like she really needed her coffee, gods.
Poseidon shook her head. "No I did go to a party but I would remember you. I'm Poseidon."

"Nice to meet you, I suppose." He pulled his hand back and slipped it into the pocket of his pants, looking around. "You felt the same thing, correct? I'm not going insane?"
Zeus' face stayed stone still, although her eyes flashed dangerously. "Oh dear–I think I'd like to tango with you one day, doll face." She purred, stepping around the woman to retrieve her own fix. Oddly, if felt like they'd had this fight before.
Poseidon nodded. "Yeah. This is King by the way." She said, gesturing to the pup hiding behind her leg, looking at Dionysus with a curious expression. "You come by the beach often?" She asked
He shrugged. "From time to time. Not a daily occurrence, but I'd say about once a week. Some fuckin' magnificent sunsets."
Dionysus, seeming to be oblivious to how weird it is, took a long drink from the wine once again before offering it to Poseidon. "Want some?"
"Maybe that's why you look familiar. I live by the beach and often spend time there." She waved a hand at his wine offering and pointed to her bag. "I have a water bottle in here, but thank you. I normally only have wine at night." She grinned
"Wine is much too tasty to limit to the night," he said, returning the grin. "Where are you going now? I'd like to continue this conversation after I actually get a full outfit on."
He looked down at his bare chest and shoeless feet.
Poseidon laughed "you remind me of a person I knew, he too enjoyed wine very much. I think you would be friends." She grinned and gestured over her shoulder at the coffee shop. "I was planning on getting a cup there. They have great food, you're welcome to tag along." She smiled
"Give me about 20 minutes," he said, giving her a nod before walking off towards an apartment builting, the bottle to his lips again.
She smiled and leaned against a tree, looking down at King who was chasing his own tail at the moment.
