2. Being back home again in Tartarus where it's never bright and sunny anymore was something Solan
would never get used to. Sure there were still clouds and sky but it was merely a projection of the
above world like the Elysian Fields were. Olympus had been in a sort of sequestered status, like in a
jury deliberation room. Artemis had made a break through in a way to fight Dalen and it had
everyone feeling hopeful for once. But not so much for Solan, he had to come back down here. He
had watched as his best friends all found their lovely brides to be, how happy they were with them,
in the whole time he was at college he never found what they had. He waved his hand over the page
of his tome, to continue with the next steps of his potion.
"Solan!! Come here for a minute!!"
Solan closed his tome; "Coming father."
3. Solan: So what is that you wanted?
Reias: I just heard from Cupid, he wants to talk to you.
Solan: Why?
Reias: He didn't say, just that he wanted to see you.
Solan: Father I'm in the middle of something upstairs, I can't go now.
4. Reias: It can wait, he sounded rather insistent that you go see him.
Solan: Do I have to?
Reias: Come on son, at least go see what he wants. Oh and bring some things of yours
too.
Solan sighed, Cupid was not someone he liked to talk to, he was just...weird. At least
he thought so, Cupid was obsessed with American TV shows and always wanted to talk
about it whenever someone made the mistake of letting him. He could care less about
who got kicked off American Idol or who won that Top Model show, it just didn't
interest him in the least.
5. He packed up his cauldron, tome and throne and flew over to where Cupid wanted to meet. When he
got there, Cupid's excitement hit him full force, the dancing yellow feeling caught him off guard. It was
an extravagant estate in the shopping district of Hidden City. The yard was well manicured, the trees
were neat and clean and the pond over behind Cupid was filled with swimming fish. There was a red
granite fountain behind him that had what looked like some soap bubbles in it.
Cupid: Sol, buddy. Glad you came, have I got a treat for you.
Solan: Don't call me Sol. It's Solan. And what do you have here that I could possibly want?
Cupid: You wound me buddy, I just wanted to do something nice for you.
Solan: Such as?
6. Cupid grinned, Solan didn't like the way he smiled. "Don't you trust the God of Love?"
Solan: Not as such, but I'll hear you out anyway.
Cupid: Well as you probably know, Artemis is all in a twitter about how she's found a solution to stop
the fighting among the gods on Olympus. It's an old trick that she'd forgotten about. She said a
mortal gave her the idea that Love can still fight the effects of War without having the God of Peace
around. If all the gods had someone they could truly say they loved then the fighting would stop.
Solan: And this has what to do with me?
Cupid: You my friend are a god without someone to love, therefore you are more at risk of being
violent and confrontational.
Solan: Half god, and no I'm not. I'm fine.
7. Cupid: Oh please, you are not fine. As the God of
Love I simply cannot let this go. So I've set up a
special challenge for you, it's called a Bachelor
Challenge. You see I've found seven lovely ladies
who are dying to meet you, apparently you're
quite popular across the way. You have fan girls
buddy.
Solan: Fan girls? Come on...
Cupid: I mean it. These seven beauties have come
from a long way away, four were given permission
by their Creators to come to Hidden City and the
other three are, well as close to gods as I can say
without being totally wrong.
Solan: I don't get you, what are you talking about?
Cupid: You'll see soon enough, let me explain.
Each day starting on Day 2 one of them will have
to leave the mansion. Their relationship with you
is what will determine who goes and who stays,
basically whoever has the lowest score with you
leaves. Get it?
Solan: Not really, so what you're saying is that
whoever has the lowest score with me leaves
right?
Cupid: Right.
Solan: And what am I supposed to do?
Cupid: I'll send you a message about what you're
supposed to do everyday okay?
8. Solan: What if I don't even like these girls?
How can you possibly know we're even
compatible?
Cupid placed his hands on his hips and
glared at him. " You don't think that I, the
God of Love knows what you like? I'm
insulted."
Solan: I just don't understand how I can
possibly like seven strange foreign women
I've never even met before today. I've never
even left Greece so how do they know who I
am?
Cupid: They know, trust me.
Solan was beginning to get irritated, this is why
he didn't like Cupid. He all these wild and insane
ideas and he thinks that everyone else should
get him.
"So what happens to the ladies who have to
leave? They're not going to stalk me are they?"
Cupid: Ah, that's the beauty part. The ladies who
leave get to spend their time with me while the
challenge plays out. I'll keep them cozy don't
worry about that.
9. Solan: I still don't understand this, but I'll humour you. So where are they?
Cupid: I have them in the waiting room, when I leave they'll arrive so get
ready for some serious heart farting and swooning Solan my man, this will be
the best thing that's ever happened to you. I guarantee it.
Solan: Right, if you say so.
Cupid grinned and vanished in a flurry of red hearts and feathers.
10. Solan: Might as well make use of the time. Hehe...
He dumped more soap into the fountain.
12. Inside the house looked just as glamourous as the exterior. He had his own
private bathroom, bedroom and balcony, the kitchen was bare except for a
large buffet table. The dining room had enough space for eight and was very
nicely furnished, although the only room he really liked was the small
sitting room, where he was now. He heard voices outside the window, the
ladies must be here.
13. Becca: I can totally win this one this time. I won't lose again.
(Becca, Simself of BookWorm123 on BoolProp also she is the creator of Mokosh
and Aiden.)
14. Koko: I do believe you are in error, you see I have come from afar to attest to
my ability to win in the game of love. I will not be so casually cast asunder by
you.
(Koko Hunicke, daughter of second generation spare Powatan and Danielle of
Shadow Girl's Forever Flowing: Azure Legacy)
15. Dobby: Dobby is going to try her best to win. And Dobby won't lose another
lover either...
(Dobby Marmite, generation D heiress of The Marmite Alphabetacy by
wonderfulweirdo)
16. Laura: I don't think so red. And why do you talk like that? It's weird, Solan
doesn't like freaks.
(Laura Wonglepong of the Fair Dinkum OWBC by joandsarah and by far the
meanest one here)
17. Steph: You just provoked the wrong Simself.....
(Steph, Simself of pettech. Right now she's not a werewolf, but things can
change...)
18. Jade: If you can't take it, don't deal it.
(Jade, Simself of milkmaidsim on BoolProp. She's also the creator of everyone's
favourite bad girl Batalia. I do apologize, the CC you sent me for her Jade just
wouldn't transfer to the game >.<)
19. Ginny: You know how weird it is to be competing for the same hot guy as your
great grandmother?
(Ginny Marmite, generation G spare of The Marmite Alphabetacy by
wonderfulweirdo)
20. Solan went outside to see who Cupid had chosen
to be his seven best choices for love, so far it
looked like he was a good judge of character. He
immediately clicked with Steph, it was strange
to see her dressed like that. Most women
preferred to wear lighter clothing, it was hot
here in Hidden City.
Solan: I wanted to ask you, aren't you hot in
that? I mean it's got to be nearly 30 degrees
here.
(90 F for you Americans)
Steph: Well this is a special breathable fabric,
it's like air conditioning in clothes.
Solan: I see. So are you one of the mortal women
Cupid chose?
Steph: Oh no, I'm a Creator. It's like being a god I
suppose. We see all and hear all.
Solan: An immortal? Interesting.
Steph: You're a warlock, that's so hot.
Solan: You like that?
Steph: I love all things paranormal.
21. Solan smiled, maybe Cupid was actually on
to something here. He did feel like he
could get to know these women, the next
one he went to talk to was a pretty red
head.
Solan: How do you like Hidden City so
far...umm what's your name?
Dobby: Oh Dobby likes it very much here,
she feels happy in the sun.
Solan: So you're Dobby then? That's a unique
name.
Dobby: Yes, Dobby's mothers thought it was
a good name.
Solan: You were born from two mothers?
How?
Dobby: Dobby doesn't know exactly but her
mothers were good to her, they raised her
well.
Solan: I see, they had a strong marriage
then. I'm hoping to find that myself.
Dobby: Dobby hopes she gets to be Solan's. Her
last marriage...ended too fast.
Solan: A painful memory?
Dobby: Yes, Dobby loved Christopher but Binky
loved Christopher more, and Binky ate him.
Solan: Umm...I don't know what to say
except...who's Binky?
22. Dobby: It’s okay, but Dobby would really rather talk about Solan.
Solan: So what do you want to know?
Dobby: Your glow, Dobby likes it. How did you get it?
Solan: Well that's a long story actually. I wanted to learn some offensive powers because mine are
mainly for defense only.
Dobby: Dobby understands. She knew some glowy people too. Dobby's grandfather was a glowy
person.
Solan: That's cool. You didn't want to be one?
Dobby: No.
23. So far the two of them seemed okay, Solan felt some of them were getting a
little hungry so he set out the buffet table. He liked Dobby, she was
interesting, the way she talked mostly. He found it cute.
24. However, there was something to be said about Steph too. A Creator was a term he wasn't familiar
with, though from what he learned about them from her they were immortals, not quite gods but
not quite mortal either. Sort of like him, he was in between both worlds, the world of mortals and
the world of gods.
Steph: He's heartfarting me, score!!
Dobby: To be fair, he heartfarted Dobby too. You haven't won yet, Dobby still has a good chance.
Becca: Why isn't the hottie heartfarting me?
Solan: You know I can hear you.
Becca, Steph, Dobby: We know. That's the point.
25. Jade: I think you three are loopy if you think that'll make you have a better
chance than me.
Dobby: Dobby has faith she will still be here at the end, see? Twice the
heartfarts as you three, Dobby is safe.
Solan: Umm...yeah I'm going to go now...
26. While the four of them were inside scoring points, Laura found it much more
entertaining to pelt Koko with the football.
Koko: Please refrain from launching projectiles at my visage!!
Laura: Duck!!
27. Laura: Well what can I say? If it keeps you out here away from him I'll do
whatever it takes. I'll enjoy filling your place when you leave tomorrow.
28. Koko: That is a rather bold assumption, how can you be sure of such a claim if you are also out here
away from him?
Laura: Elf ears, guys love the ears. Also I'm gorgeous, what man can resist a raven haired, sky blue
eyed girl?
Koko: I fail to see how that is the basis for your claim to win. Appearances are not everything.
Laura: Meh. I've got this, you'll see Four Eyes.
Koko: How juvenile to resort to name calling. Solan will appreciate my intellect and charms over your
overt hostility towards your competitors.
Laura: Whatever helps you sleep at night.
29. Soon enough it was nightfall. The day had been interesting so far, meeting
the girls, getting to know them a bit. The good thing about this place that
Cupid chose was that it had a fishing pond. Solan loved the chance to be by
himself and think things over as the girls continued to interact with each
other. Even though it would be better if they actually wanted to spend time
with him, this was his shot at finding his true love after all.
30. Laura: This fountain is not soapy enough, it needs more.
(She did this 3 times in a row >.<)
32. Steph: You know you're making the toilets fizz inside, leave it alone would
you?
Laura: Make me. You're just pissed cuz you didn't think of it first!
Steph: I think you and I are going to have some fun times this week. But we'll
see who comes out on top in the end.
Laura: That'll be me. Bet on it.
33. So this is Day One, eliminations happen tomorrow. Today was just the Meet
and Greet, however I can see some fierce competition for Solan from Steph
and Dobby. He's heartfarted them the most so far and it's all on free will
without even a Scope Room action from him either. I hope that you guys
aren't too bothered by my attempts to show your characters, it's what comes
to me when I look at the pictures.
