Hello, everyone. I assume we are all here because of that irritatingly obscure email? Where are my manners? My name is Aldo Fizzini, I'd say "a pleasure to meet you all", but I imagine this situation hasn't pleased anyone so I'll skip the theatrics.

Aldo? Fancy seeing you here.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

Clarissa Lovelace? It seems it's true. You can meet anyone over the internet these days. How are you? I saw your new line-up. Beautiful work.

Callista, pet. Still, thank you for the kindness. It'll be a smash for the fall season.

Things are well. Business is good. How are things on your end?

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

I apologize, Callista, and you are welcome. Yes, I have no doubt it will be.

All's well I suppose. I beginning to gain an understanding of this industry's workings, but listening to prima-donna models complaining about how fat they are gets annoying fast. I'm considering a line-up for more full-figured women. At the very least it'll be different faces annoying me.

I trust you're here for the same reason I am?

You do know most who try to cater to the "big girl" crowd are often committing career suicide? Having plus-size models takes away that sense of desperation so key to our sales.

And, I imagine so. Peculiar emails, bringing together people of a... certain nature?

Sadly yes, you have a point. Maybe I need a middle-manager so I don't have to deal with these waifs. I swear you could sneeze on these women and they'd fall over. Just have to remember the big picture. Unhappy models means less profit margin.

Indeed. Odd occurrences happening around these people. Almost..divine.

The girls are getting paid and having their faces splashed all over. Who needs food when you can feed on fame? They're rather like little pets, really, all just craving a bit of attention and some crumbs thrown to them to make their little hearts fly.

Yes, quite. Rumor has it you're an Egyptian?

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

Hmm, they have a certain "pet" quality don't they. Just like cats.

Yes I am. Seth, god of chaos, actually.

I've heard you're Greek. Would it be presumptuous of me to assume you're Aphrodite? You don't strike me as an Artemis.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Seth. Intriguing.

And, that frigid little tomboy? Heavens no. You had it right the first time. Aphrodite, goddess of the tender passions, dear.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

Intriguing, Ms. Lovelace? Is that a good thing?

Tender passions? I've read my fair share of stories about you. You're not always so tender. You have a..vicious streak. I can appreciate that.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

It piques my interest. Whether for better or worse, time will tell.

And I'm only vicious when I'm not given what's duly mine. Or when I'm asked to be.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

Indeed.

Reminds me a lot of myself, actually. Though I like to think mortality has mellowed me...somewhat.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

I knew there was a reason I liked you.
